So who'd buy an evo with wind-up windows and no radio? Is it a weight saving measure?

And where are the Recaro buckets?

Its like the N1 GTR, its the cut down "homologated" version the rally cars are/were based on. Power windows, radio, air conditioning (I believe the RS does have 'climate control' though) are all pretty much useless in a car that is sold with the intentions of being the basis of a rally car. That said though, people do by the RS because its cheaper, and/or they dont mind using 10 seconds of muscle to wind down the window.

That said, I have a test drive of the Evo IX on Friday afternoon... hoping I dont turn it into something resembling that :D

Im sure alot of parts could still be used from that car, considering its almost new.

Just off the top of my head,

- Seats

- Springs/Shocks/Bushings

- A rim? :)

- Some parts of the dash

- Aircond control panel

- Dash cluster

- Sway Bars

....

Im sure theres more little pieces here and there he/she could salvage some money for..

And did the steering crumple or was made to crumple to remove the driver?

Curious.. :P

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
