Nice :thumb:

alloy 07 May 2007 09:36 PM

Not been able to drive it hard yet, but initial impressions are its a great car, everything is tight and precise, nothing clunks or knocks its just solid and well put together not to mention i think it looks stunning :D . Lovely turbo sounds above 4k and a much more useable power band compared to my 20g'd STI as i'd expect :)

Thanks for your comments :D

Stunning car fella, i did it the otherway round, from Evo to Subaru....love them both....an Ecutek remap/ fuel pump/ turbo back exhaust/ you`ll be not far off 400.....nice.

scooby0809 07 May 2007 10:52 PM

nice car looks good in white:thumb:

MrRA 07 May 2007 11:07 PM

That's the first IX I've seen in white and I have to say it looks the dogs. I wish you all the best as we're all performance car enthusiasts at the end of day, regardless of what marque we drive.

What model is this by the way? Is it a GT spec car, GSR etc??

harry_p1 07 May 2007 11:13 PM

Looks Great:thumb:

I'm not really up to date with Evo specs so is there any with a JDM Evo like there is with JDM Scoobs?

And the more I look at that photo the more it grows on me.:thumb:

All EVO's are made on the same production line in Japan. Mitsubishi import them into the UK and put the rear fog etc on, as well as some bolt on goodies like HKS catback and HKS hard pipe kit before ecuteking the car to various levels of tune ie. FQ320, FQ340 and FQ360

The JDM model has all standard elements on it and is quoted at 289bhp in accordance with the Jap Gentlemans Agreement but they all produce over 320 in standard form. As i will be modding the car, 3" exhaust, fuel pump, boost control, motec etc the UK cars are extremely overpriced as i will be surrendering my warranty and changing the goodies they already put on so i got myself a JDM import ready to molest into the car i want :thumb:

Cheers for the comments :D

SC008Y_MAD 08 May 2007 05:17 PM

Now we know. Thanks Andy for that little insight. So it is better to buy JDM :norty:

KJD Mk1 08 May 2007 07:26 PM

Very nice:cool: love the white ones.

EOEUMC 08 May 2007 07:40 PM

Looks very nice, but don't get the attitude problem that some Evo drivers seem to have :Suspiciou Going by a past post on the mlr forums!
