Ditto. You just said you hated looking for second hand, and you want an Evo. Hence..

If you do find one though, look for rust. Look everywhere for rust. Not only on the rail, but in the wheel arches, and under the plastic bits. About 3 that I looked at were covered in rust, but I didn't find it until I was told where to look.

Look for ayc issues, oil level and lights etc.

Transfer case is a common leak as is the oil sump seal and the rocker cover seal is too..

Standard suspension usually leaks and knocks too.

To see if things have been changed in the engine bay, the original bolts have number 7 on the top.

Things I was told anyway

thanks for that man...

before i buy i'm gonna get a full inspection... probably from techsport or state roads.

I looked at one that was just out of my range that had a techsport inspection and i was impressed

this is why i am thinking of importing... can just give IM the $$$ and not spend my weekends looking at cars as it annoys me.

also, i know i might not save any $$$ or time, but in the end I will only ever have this time with my baby once and it's priceless

need to call aaron and have a better chat about it all

Yeh I had it inspected by two mechanics and sent racv to his house. He was rather pissed that I kept sending him everywhere lmao. But I was buying a car I wanted to make sure I was buying something good.

Speak to Aaron, or even northshore prestige in Sydney. Northshore is f**kig insane for quality, asked a few people to do inspections and they all said no need, the cars are 110% of the time perfect.

Lol, did you dance for them?

no

Rode to work today, no one looked at me

how do you carry your tools? :huh:

Awesome day on the spur, can't ask for better weather.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
