Default Yesterday went out in a Makkinen evo6 ...

... and for a Y reg car, it had NO rattles, creaks, body rolling that I expected. A thoroughly decent drive, smooth, quiet and a V. good looking car I want one!!!!! I even liked the interior, the dash isnt as bad as I thought- I could live with it knowing the outside looked SOooo damn good. Anybody want to buy me one for my birthday?

Great cars, but they do rot worse than Ford's IMO.

A mate of mine had a 1997 Evo and the fooker had holes in part of the rear chassis.

agree mate you give a lot of power away to the 4wd , my evo 3 was standard but the mid range power was fantastic, thing is all you need is a plug and play ralli art ecu and away you go 350bhp

I think they are still an absolute animal from standard but with a map and couple of other bits 360-380bhp on the road they are virtually untouchable.

I was still on the std ecu and whilst it wasn't the worlds fastest car in a straight line, down like local Hill O Rue road... it was insane. Especially when you trade up the tyres to formula R.

In my ideal garage, I would have my old one back any day.

Cheers

i can't stand the red and white ones dont you think they look a bit chaved up ?
think you must either love them or hate them don't mind the black ones tho

also tell me why is it when people hit just past 30 years old they want a evo or scooby is it something to do that with they think they are getting old ? it just amazes me how many people do this

The 5/6 are still the best lookers, although the 8/9 are starting to grow on me.
