The good

- it's nippy

- handles and brakes amazingly

- much more fun at the track without overheating or some shit

- smaller doors (good for parking)

- massive boot (for tools and jerrycans)

- seats are better

- has mivec

- spend less money getting to 300kw (excluding strengthening driveline)

- car is easier to work on (feels like everything was design for the intention to be worked on in a hurry)

The bad

- It's slow (GTR was quick up top)

- turning circle can ead

- gearbox and tranny are weak

- it's a lancer

- evo forum sucks and most evo drivers are a bit different

All in all, I'm enjoying the evo a lot more than the GTR. But I do miss the ability to just blast past any car coz street warrior.

Good run down and very telling that all in all you're enjoying this more.

Lets see how slow it feels once you've E85'd it etc.

What do you mean by Evo drivers being a bit "different"?

Also "It's a Lancer"? A GT-R is just a Skyline too.

Lol a lancer is still less flattering than a skyline.

Most evo drivers look at things differently. I can't describe it lol. They attract a different demographic.

needs more poke

can fit 18x.9.5 +22 good stance

if won't fit, run stretched

get 272 cams for braps

why don't you set up launch control

^ EVO forums :)

Nothing I haven't seen here more or less.

I've seen much worse on NS.com lol

NS.com, late 2000s to early 2010s, mass stance/low/moar low/poke/stretch/pipe roll fap circlejerk

everyone was a suspension, camber, offset and photography expert, building cars around their wheels and ganging up on anyone who didn't meet their wheel fitment requirements and dared to post a pic of their car in the stance thread

Some of that still exists.

My no f**ks given budget CA track car build is in the motorsport section though, much safer in there.

but you get dick heads telling you to throw the viscous diff into the bin and replace it with a S15 Helical Diff LOL

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
