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, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
