Time for a change......
From this...
http://i27.tinypic.com/200ycmw.jpg To this 360bhp beastie....:norty: http://i30.tinypic.com/whh1tg.jpg Will be sad to see the sti go, but Ive alwasy liked an Evo, even if I admit myself, the growl and sound just cannot compare...how long do you reckon it'll be b4 Im back...lol Ill still be posting and looking on here, cos I like both cars so much. :thumb: |
Both cars are really nice mate. Get some more pics of the Evo up

Good move, and great choice in car. I went to an evo7 rs2 xtreme and havent looked back. Although if im honest i do miss the noise. Out of interest how do you compare the two performance wise?
Regards dan |

Regards dan Had a go y'day and tbh, I initially couldn't tell a difference in quickness, until I looked at the speedo to see 90mph in a very quick time (on a private road :D) The steering reaction is one major difference that stood out compared to the scoob, so much more responsive. I love the way the scoobs spool up and the sound, but the uniquness of the Evo and the constant turbo pull deserve some respect. Should be getting it this afternoon, Ill give her a good wash/detail then get some pics up. Just to say though, it was a very difficult decison to let the sti go, I love the scoobs and had spent nigh on 4k :( on her since I got her in late feb.... |

I thought the same, until like you i glanced at the speedo. Its deceptavly(if thats how you spell it) quick. And the steering response is in a different league. Hope you enjoy your new toy mate.

I can relate to you. Tbh i find the guys on the mlr site very helpfull. Might be worth a visit.

Oh and ive been told to make the evo quicker you dont have to take a bank loan out, which is allways a bonus, lol.
|
Yeah Dan, Im a member there but not paid up...yet...lol
The lad who I got it from got it mapped for like £300 or so from around standard (fq300) to 360ish......all dyno printout and everything, very good value for money in my book, will have to check what torque its running, it should be here within the next hour :) |

That evo looks plain mean, scoob is nice but the Evo - WOW!
|
last one b4 the scoob went...:(
http://i30.tinypic.com/xdujw3.jpg And after a quick wash (im at work but only had one job allday :Whatever_) The fq300, mapped upto 360. http://i27.tinypic.com/287qefm.jpg Actually gutted to see the scoob go, Id spent a lot and ivested a lot of time in it, looked good as it drove away, had second thoughts thats for sure, Im sure Ill have another someday, a spec c hopefully :thumb: |
congrats on the change any probs with it sign in to the lancer register they are a helpful and chirpy bunch my neighbour uses it 4 his evo 7
|
oh forgot to mention if you hear a tappet noise then itll be the lash ajusters, the mlr will explain more and they have their instructions on how to do it
|
Very nice. Like the wheels. Glad I don't have to keep it clean though :) .
|
good move mate. I would have got one if I had the money tbh. Looks very nice
|
Looks simply "EVIL" jimmy
nice one marcus |
That evo looks pure DARKSIDE, hard as nails :norty:
:notworthy :luvlove: |
Sorry to see the Scoob go mate, especially after spending a bit on it not too long ago :(
Nice Evo though :) :thumb: |
The evo is just pure filth...:cool:
Nice car mate:thumb: Haroon. |
Tookj it out y'day for a first run and fvcking hell, only way I can describe it is, it doesn't "feel" as rapid as the scoob, but its so deceptive. Very happy with it.
Thanks for the comments fellas. |
Blimey you didn't have that long then! The Evo does look good though :thumb:
Did you part-ex the STI or sell private? |

Did you part-ex the STI or sell private? I suppose I lost a bit by spending close to 4k on it, adding bits here and there, so in fairness they were both around the same value on paper, but, he's happy and im happy, bit sad to see it go but ill still be a poster on here, good set of lads :thumb: |
Nice one!
Get some more pics up :thumb: |
