would rather catch the bus than be forced to drive a eco bullshit car

Hmm, taking public transport or driving around in a eco bull shit car? That's like asking would you rather eat the shit you took today or the shit you took yesterday...

Probably more to do with the economic down turn than anything else.

Holden dropped the monaro, Nissan dropped the gtr. Plenty of examples of this kind of thing happenning before.

No doubt it will make a rerun some time in the future with much ado and fan fare.

When did nissan drop the gtr? I read a drive.com article 3 days ago about nissan's new gtr and how they planned to bring out a new one every 12 months.

Right after the 34. there was about a 5 year gap till the 35.

couldn't see many cubic inches fitting into this

you'd have to rip out the backseats & mid engine that sucker

You dont need the space for cubic inches to make something poweful and dirty...we are a skyline forum after all...see attached.

It sucks there thinking of doing this. The maximum bang for your buck perfomance cars are becoming a dying bread.

Bumping this thread due to a tweet from japanesenostalgiccar.com/

Looks like Mitsubishi have confirmed they are killing of the Evo. Maybe somebody with better translating skills than Google can give some insight on the article.

It's a pity that developing a car these days requires so much investment that it has to be one or the other. Let's hope that other brands still see enough value in "Halo" models to keep producing fun cars.

In that case Ryan my 8MR is up f/s at $10K more than what I paid for it :P

Yes it's a pity they couldn't take the risks that Carlos Ghosn did! Renault is being aggressive atm too.

Now it'll be interesting what Toyota and Subaru will do pursuant to the 86 and BRZ.

Honda IMHO has gone down the safe but wrong track! Currently they're paying for it.

Mitsubishi Motors, entered the final adjustment in the direction to produce the end of the year end high-performance sports car "Lancer Evolution". The model launched the first model in 1992, the current type corresponds to the 10th. Domestic cumulative sales up to 2013 about 92 million units. For many years, and has contributed to improving the brand image of the company, etc. to win the championship year in the World Rally Championship (WRC). However, I was judged in the environment-oriented increases worldwide, that it is necessary to focus on eco-car development and management resources. Focus on development of next-generation eco-car with an electric device, and fostering the image leader of a new Mitsubishi car these in the future. ※ You can see in the daily newspaper automobile electronic version for details.Please try not hesitate to試読a week because it is also possible. Application I take from red banner below.

On the contrary, variety is good.

Even competition is good.

If I thought negative, I'd be smarting over why EVO guys get annoyed about the other car I've left at home!

I could go on but...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
