Was in the mitsi garage today & seen a tommi mak

It was on a Y reg ?? Is this right ??

22k though & when theres a FQ330 for 1k more then theres big decisions to make

 

If i was to go the evo route i know what i'd get.

It has FQ in the name. (FQ apparently standing for Fu**ing Quick)

Although give the makinnen version its dues, both very capable cars. The more modern one gets the nod from me. They've supposedly had better and better handling and drive over the previous versions...

My scooby's keeping the smile on my face at the moment tho'

£22k is far too much for a Tommi, the last of the Tommi's were on 51 plates but I have seen a RS2 (evo 6) on a 52 plate.

Shop around..but finding a good one will be hard work.

 

agree with above mate,way overpriced is that.you pick up an evo6 tme for about 15k-17k on y plate! i"m buying the evo 6 in january,not sure whether to have tme though!!!

 

you can get an evo 6 RS as new as a 53 plate as i've seen a few

 

Lucky enough to had both.

The Tommi is a great looking car but can't compare with the handling and power of the 330 - especially if you can afford the de-cat and the ralliart ecu upgrade.

Our 330 with both the above is dyno'd at close on 370bhp with over 330N/m torque and is great fun to drive in all conditions.

Last scooby was a P1 which was absolutely brill but without expensive upgrades could'nt be taken over 320bhp - still miss the engine noise tho.

Happy hunting,

Lubo - I have seen your's on the RR I am sure on that day you were getting 350 ish but there was a problem with it overfuelling

 

£22k

Can be had for mucho lesso IMO

 

no the rr was totally *uckin* the car!! Never be back there!

 

 

Get the FQ, you'll not tell the difference on our roads. They'll both eat ground like there's no tomorrow.

2nd-hand ones are still damn expensive otherwise I'd have onein a heartbeat

 

As long as i can still get past you on them, it doesnt matter

 

Oh, oh - dipped my toe into the 'Darkside' today!!

Looked at a EVO IX FQ-320 in a Mitsubishi Dealers then went along to an importers garage where there were numerous EVO IV's; V's; VI's (incl 2 x TME) and VII's.

Decisions, decisions - I've always liked the EVO VI & IMO the VII and VIII went a bit '*****' looking. The EVO IX seems to have recovered some of the meaner VI look.

Question is 'would I be happy going to an EVO after 5 Imprezas?'

and would any sane person even consider going from an MY04 STI UK to an EVO VI GSR or VI TME? Maybe the mid life crisis is just getting worse!!

Any thoughts guys?

370 bhp and 330nm torque?? thats bad torque man, u sure its not 330 ft lbs?

 

Tommy mak will hold its value better. should be had for around 14-18k
