From this...



To this 360bhp beastie....



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.

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?

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 ) 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....

JimmyBFC

Will do mate later

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.

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.

JimmyBFC

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

JimmyBFC

And after a quick wash (im at work but only had one job allday )

The fq300, mapped upto 360.



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

That evo looks pure DARKSIDE, hard as nails

Monkeydile

Sorry to see the Scoob go mate, especially after spending a bit on it not too long ago

Nice Evo though

harry007

The evo is just pure filth...

Nice car mate

Haroon.

JimmyBFC

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
Did you part-ex the STI or sell private?

JimmyBFC

Straight swap mate, the lad who initially sold it me wanted it back badly tbh lol, The day I picked the sti up I saw his Evo and told him straight "if you ever sell it, tell me!" lol

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
