A good mate of mine picked up his EVO 9 this week, and he took me for a strap last night.

He's still running it in so only gave it about 80%.

But it fu<king flys, thats all I can say.

It has an anal clench factor of 10/10

It is black, wiht the number plates "Rentin"

It has as BBS wheels "I think" and he also got the Bilstein suspension upgrade.???

It will go in and get exhaust and ECU upgrades soon.

If you see him give him a wave! He'll wave back.

Excuse the camera phone pictures

Evo kitted lancers are the same thing as GTR badged GTS's and GTST's. They both devalue the prestige of owning a top of the range vehicle.

Evo's rock, but 95% of the population won't be able to tell the difference between an evo and an evo kitted lancer. Aside from the fact that there is no such animal as a 2 door evo. and as far as I know evo's never came with drum brakes on the back.

Thing I hate the most about lancers, for the over $2k they probably spent on those fully sick chromies, they could have at least upgraded the brakes.

BTW mud, how spastically expensive is his fully comp insurance? Last I heard the insurance companies were hitting up people $3.5k pa for insurance. At least the insurance on an STI isn't even that much.

nice car nonetheless.

yet to go in an Evo but would love to see what they are like. Theres a stock evo going to track days here in vic that was keeping me honest. From what i've been told they are pretty quick standard but they are hard to make go faster.

Ummm negative....

GTR Cam , Now EVO Cam has an VIII with exhaust incl dump with a Motec (out of his old R33 GTR) and it is putting out 208awkw, and lapping QLD Racing quicker than a GT3 Porche...

Admittedly that is on Semi slicks, but the suspension gear is yet to go on...and then the cams...

Now the IX actually responds better to the first mods, as it has Mivec...so improve the handling with some whiteline gear and they will be quick!!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
