Just sold this

and waiting for this
. It was three perfect years, but I must try the "other side".

 

Shame on you

Only joking worth a try although I suspect that you'll be back ...

TX.

PS

Can you change your username

 

Traitor get out!

 

Hate the 10, just my opinion, loved my Tommi Mak and my 8MR though, BUT have to say i enjoy my Subaru more... good luck...

 

The 10 is a step backwards mechanically (engine etc) but still a capable car, it loses out in all the tests you see in japan v the latest subaru though....

Agree, but I live in Europe and that's another story. I enyojed my Subaru and hope I will be back with another model but this one (curent) is no no for me.

 

Sadly i have to agree with you, as much as i love subaru i would choose the new Evo over the latest impreza

 

Hi All
TonyBurns you dont no much about the Evo X (10) Engine if you think its a step backwards

The look of the X might not be to everyones taste i agree, but the engine is a good bit of kit
All the BEST
Cheers

 

The quote about the engine comes from the people who designed it, ie mitsubishi, i think they know best

Sine.... by any chance do you know a guy called Davor who drives a slick alfa GTV?

 

The 4G63 is a closed deck block, where as the 4B11 is only semi closed deck. In my book making the the 4G63 the better base for a big power build.

Banny

 

The 4B11 is lighter, lower CoG, has exhaust VVT, larger turbine housing, stronger conrods, much nearer to square bore:stroke, and arguably better cylinder head design even if some of the ports are smaller. The compressor size is smaller, and there is less room at the back of the engine for a large turbo, plus at very high power the block will probably be less strong.

Whilst I like the 4G63 and have got 500 BHP out of a stock bottom end, the stock rods are a concern. The 4B11 would be a good base for 500 BHP on a stock engine IMHO, so just a turbo kit, intercooler upgrade, injectors/pump, exhaust. Although the car is too heavy, the stronger stock engine where the rods were the limit on the 4G63 will be nice, I might be tempted if there was a strong gearbox with a sensible top gear that wouldn't be buzzy.

 

Yes, the red one? He lives next to my caffe bar.

 

Well, I was satisfied with 340 hp on my STI so I hope I will be satisfied with near 400 on my EVO. Same mods, but more power. And, safe for motor.

 

Can I ask why specifically - the change to hatchback or something technical / mechanical?

Cheers

My first reason is a look of new impreza, and after all, must try the other side. At the end of the day car specs are similar. And there is a tuneability of cars or "more for less".

 

Yes!! What a small world..... he has a mate called Petar who has the greatest GTV I have seen and I tried to get him to sell it to me but did not happen......
