lol nice one that was funny no i meant when i had an evo i used to get girls coming up to me to take them out at the strathycruise and then give them a good seeing too i used to tell them to **** off i married i was offered one on the bonnet i said no thanks luv im too hot the bonnet will dent and also the engine will burn your ****


no bull

and lol @ pete my personal kebab shaker haha



and he is right about the visa bills and robin u dont need to worry about it my prob was im too much in luv with those japanese gt cars and i did stupid things and im paying for it now i overspent too much money on a road car to make it into a gtcar but it should be worth it at the end as long as u dont do too much u are safe but the problem is once it starts u cant stop tuning it and robin knowing your history i doubt u will be able to stop tuning

Dougster

Mo, they seen the white car and the tan and the girls thought it was me mate!!!

Passed by the shop tonight but didn't see you or the Toyota(??) outside.

Speak soon and keep it clean!!

moses

lol mate they know mines white and red and an evo

**** sake u should have came in i was their after 8pm and so was rice rocket he was with me we would have gone for some curries afterwards

robinH20MRV

hello chaps,


great banter! if you go to jvs,s web site www.powervehicles.com
under "cars in soon" you will see a evo 5 gsr...................
tempting!!! got my name all over it BUT, there is also a v/3 in white that i was driving yesterday! hmmmmmmm

though to be honest, i think its the "dark side" unless andy finds me somthing v/tasty

cheers robinh20

coco_scooby

robin


get the evo5 gsr...i am well happy with mines!!!
i think the 5,s r the best evo.i would say that
after just getting one!!!
was thinking of a 7...but the 5 was the one for
me...

Sam Elassar

will think of it this way,

if you get an evo6, ( make sure it is an RS you will love it ) all you will need is a RA ecu and apexi boost controller and voila 360bhp at 1.6bar all day long ( max cost 1k). now how much money will you need to spend on a scoob to get the same performance ?

they come with brembo brakes albeit they need good discs and pads
they come with a decent turbo capable of 380bhp
they come with a good gear box ( i am running around 500bhp now with standard gear box)
clutch is needing attention though you will need a paddle clutch to handle more than 350bhp ( but yet again same with the scoob)
they come with a front mounted intercooler.

the evo is an easier car to get to 360-400bhp mark than a scoob. however anything over that it becomes really costly !!!

but things are changing, now the americans have them there is going to be alot of turbo kits coming on the market soon.

rich w managed 11.9sec 1/4mile at elvington last month with a standard engine and uprated ball bearing turbo ( my old turbo as a matter of fact) so they are not that bad on the drag strip either

Sam Elassar

ps, try to find a modified one, although to be honest it is unlikely that you will find one that is totally standard

T-uk

agree with sam

if you are sure you want to stick with a 4wd rally rep type car , then after the scoobs you have had it makes sense.

IMO there is not much between the two. the scoobs better in some areas and the evo's better in others. starting from scratch again I would probably get an evo but now that I have the scoob I do not see the point changing as they are so similar.

robinH20MRV

thanks guys!

andy is sending me details now of a evo 5 gsr, though i am sure he will be able to get me a rs, does the rs type not have a tiny fuel tank??? they also dont have the yaw control??????? i dont realy want the yaw controler anyway, but can a std (ie bigger) fuel tank be retro fitted?????? as i have heard that if you are "using" the rs you can do a tank of fuel in 80 miles !!!!!!
not a lot of use in the highlands ect!! the route i was thinking of going tuning wise was the apexi ecu, full magnex decat system,
induction kit (it seems they work on evos unlike scoobys)and arp big end bolts? well......to start anyway, i see a lot of them have been converted to six pot aps, i would think that lot would make for a "interesting" b road car

as always your thoughs are most welcome!!

cheers robinh20

Sam Elassar

hi robin

the rs is the light weight version, but it comes with rs diffs and is very desirable car so comes selling it will be easy and will hold its price well.

the evo6 pistons and rods are better than the evo5 so from an engine point of veiw, the evo6 RS is probably your best bet.

the apexi is an ecu so it does what says on the box really. you can even get link for the evo's if you want ( if you start feeling scoob sick )

the RS has very short gear ratios and standard trim will keep it is own against a lot of modified gsr'S!!

with hind sight i should have gone for an evo7 RS instead of gsr. but hey i am not complaining

Robin,

Owing to the purchase of a house on wed last week i'm going to be selling my white Evo 5 GSR. It's got a huge spec list - brakes, wheels, coilovers, exhaust, downpipes, cat rep pipe, intercooler, induction kit...... etc and made 350BHP at Star recently.

I'm gutted to have to sell it as i love it to bits but i can't justify having it whilst i have a house to modify!

I've mailed you too but it may not get to you as my business email doesn't seem to like hotmail. I can be contacted on :
james.braid@obcgroup.com

Let me know if you're interested.

I'm in Aberdeen but will happily to meet you elsewhere to let you have a good look at the car.

Cheers

James

robinH20MRV

thanks again, robinh20
