I may have beat Troy (Evo_Lee) to this one...

Details are pretty thin due to the fact that I haven't translated the whole article yet, but here goes the important stuff:

New Mivec 2000cc turbo engine with aluminium block

Power over 320ps

Torque "over" 44kg/m...

All-new platform

Front active LSD

Looking at a late 2006, early 2007 debut...

The pics:

Sorry about the pic, but this is apic of the full size concept model.

How can there be a EVO X, when the EVO VIIII isn't even out and people don't even know what it will look like.
Have some faith in your Japan dwelling SAU brothers...

The Evolution "IX" (not VIIII)...

And the Evo 9 is just a minor face lift, 18" wheels and a couple of other nik naks being changed, slated for an early 2005 release... just coz it ain't been reported in the Sunday paper, don't mean it doesn't exist.

rezz whats the word on mitsubishi in japan as you may have heard they have closed one of the plants in aus and are experiencing serious financial difficulties. is that going to affect the release of any models like the evo as you mentioned above or are they just trading like its business as normal over there?

the evo x looks like someone mixed an aston martin with a current model evo its a mongrel

Justin: LOL, yeah I flipped through the mag at the combini they seem to be going towards the WRC car look.

The look is kind ghey but it's a concept sketch...don't think any of us think the next GT-R is going to look as futuristic as it's concept model.

Without Mivec it is already the most highly powered 2L engine but I will have to see what the actual power figures of the new EJ20T on a dyno. With a mild dose of Mivec it will get 350ps from the crank easy but that means they have done nothing much to the engine :(, I just hope it will be as light as the MR.

Ive always disliked the Evo mainly because its a lancer, and they mass produce lancers here so every mtfker and his dog can put a muffler on and think they are cool. If they made the EVO look totally different to the $19,990 GLX lancer then ide be fine with it, but it hardly looks any different.

I could never spend $70K or whatever to buy a lancer, even if it is turbo etc

hmm EVO or 33/34 GTR

hmmmm

:P

hey rezz are you trying to beat evo lee to post because he keeps beating you at pool??

hehehe...read the update he actually came good last weekend. But come to think of it he brought the shocker aka Nao a Japanese dude who played worst then he did which effectively made Justin look alot lot better :P:(:P

And the Skyline is not mass produced:rolleyes:

It's funny you say that when effectively in Japan this is the case with Skylines...every man and his dog has a GT-R badge or GT-R bar or 400R bar on a standard Skyline. I don't think I have ever see a normal lancer here trying to look like an Evo. I agree the whole lookalike Evo scene in Aust is ghey.

The CT Evo and the normal Lancer no longer share many common body parts without panel work...so normal Lancers can do whatever they want and they will not look like an Evo...not to mention if you are smart you can always tell Evo have aluminium panels compared to normal Lancers. As for $70K for an Evo...I never paid that much for mine :P:(

i suppose that in the perspective of an aussie where the skyline is a low volume import and the lancer is a mass produced vehicle that any 17 year old with a few bucks thinks is cool to dump on its ass and put a few stickers and an exhaust on it.

i guess in japan where the skyline has a cult following you must see so many of them that they become boring and only the really good examples jump out at you.

i guess the reason we get hit with such high costs for the evo is because they are a low volume import over here or imported in such small numbers that the costs are really high due to the cost of adr crash testing.

in japan the evo must sell for a bit cheaper than the price we get hit for

evo lee just wait till rezz forgets to invite shocker to the next pool match and its back to being beaten again :P:(:P

Mcnamg, yeah I know the RS2 versions brought in were flogged off at ridiculously high price. In fact it's about right considering the exchange rate back then was 60:1 then factor in compliance and all that jazz. When the E7 (CT) was sold new here in 2000 it was actually slightly cheaper at 3.5Mil Yen (but still $60K AU on the road if you do the 2000 exchange) then the earlier Evos. So now with the current exchange rate they should sell at a competitive price.

You put it nicely by saying Skylines have a cult following, yes that is true but they are also commonly bought as family cars so there are alot of them around. But you don't see me knocking that...seriously people just have to get over it.

As for whether Justin is really a ghey pool player I will leave it up to Dave to judge...we're both heading out to Yamanashi soon...and will indeed play a few rounds over there :P.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
