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

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
