Right, i ran an Evo VII FQ300 every day for the last year doing a 40mile round trip to work and it gave me approx 25ish miles to the gallon (not that bad i thought) The big problem with the evo's though is the servicing (every 4500miles) You need to keep the service book up to date as thats a must to anyone thats buying one so when the time comes to sell you need that to be right. I never had a problem with the ammount of services it needed but i bought it fully aware that every 3 or so months it would need to be back in the Mitsi garage. Another problem with them seems to be the clutches. Especially if your doing track days and the likes. I put 1 flywheel and 2 cluthes into mine within the year

But it ticked every box and was great at what it done. Never missed a beat and the clutch issue was down to 400+ miles of bloddy hard track days

As for the scooby i can't tell you yet but just bought a 22B today so will be in a position to do so soon
