Question
Go and test drive the Evo Viii FQ-300, take it for the weekend Sir.

Should I?

If I buy one would I still be allowed on here?

I know if I take up the offer I'll end up getting one!

Pete

Get a Mitsubishi Pick Up Truck so you can fit your gold wheeled invalid carriage in the back.

Question
Does GRUNT mean something in nice ole Glasgow?? I know you wear womens frocks but what does GRUNT mean??

Anyway, back to the car ...... who has got the FQ-330? UK dealers haven't?!

And it HAS to be a UK car, built on the UK production run! I don't want a Reject-Parts-Bin car do I??

Pete

My mates got a FQ 330, but it was a 300, the dealer put a piggy-back chip on the ecu to make it 330. I believe this is all the 330 will have anyway.It does make a big difference though.

You do realise that an FQ300 is a Modified Evo 8

No surely he would get closer to 100,000 miles from them, nearly as much as he gets from a tank of petrol

The diplomatic answer is of course - GO ON buy one - and NO your not welcome any longer

Go on - take it for a spin and give us all a report...

Hugs and kisses,

Simon

Don't buy an Evo Pete, not your sort of car at all.
My 7 has only done 11000 miles, brake pads are low already...
I know you like paying loads for parts, try £160 for front pads, and no I'm NOT kidding...

Ho ho ho - go on Pete, buy one!!!

All Evo's are technically Japanese Imports (they don't have EU Type Approval) so have to go through the SVA.

It would be great fun if you were to buy a JDM car, we would have even more reason to take the pi$$ out of you in light of your past comments on Imports....

Well, just got a few Insurance Quotes!!

Bl00dy £487 they want!! £250 XS they can stuff it right where the sun don't!!

And I was soooooo looking forward to rescueing an EVO from the clutches of those that have the mechanical sympathy of a luddite!!

Oh, well

Deano, no-one from Stockport, Manchester can afford an EVO unless they are into some shady dealings .... so no, I reckon I'll stay with the Impreza

BUT, I just might come on your BBS and shake some dreamers - whats the url?
