Got this a couple of days ago, really pleased with it. Is a uk fq mr model and pretty standard at the moment apart from an exhaust and remap running 360hp. Who is best for looking after these in Essex area? thanks Jamie

 

Awesome cars, only car l regret selling, l had the same as you MR FQ 320 with some work done by MADevelopments putting out 383bhp great fun

Enjoy

Mike

 

Hi Mike, i spoke to you over on the csl forum, are you pleased with your csl? A csl was my first choice but commanding such high prices now for a nice one, i looked at a couple but wasnt happy with the condition of them in my price range so opted for an evo instead, other than the servicing intervals everything else seems great about the car for a weekend toy and hopefully occasional track day

 

looks nice, what age is that and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

 

Im sure you will enjoy mate. I know its a bit of a drive for you but gary at apt always looks after mine, cant fault his work or prices.

 

Nice car these.Just a bit expensive for me.

 

Whereabouts are they based mate? Ideally need someone in Essex / London area.

 

+1 he does work on my dads Evo, good bloke Garry!

There Norfolk mate, bloody log drive! But they really know what there doing!

 

Forgot to say dyno tech is good there based in Erith mate other side of the bridge
Btw lovely Evo

 

Thanks matethat's more my neck of the woods

 

Any plan for it then?

 

Lovely looking car.

 

It's pretty well sorted be fair, would like to get it to 400 and then just enjoy it. Have seen a few carbon bits I would like to add and maybe a new stereo system as the standard speakers and head unit are next to useless.

 

I've been considering one of these for years was going to by a friends earlier in the year but he sold it before I could my escort

But defo going for one next when I get rid of the focus

 

Be a nice figure to get to, nice carbon vortex on the back would look nice, and you already have a splitter

 

good starting point with the MR mate shouldnt need to many mods to get close to 400bhp id take the so called 400/400 with a pinch tho everyone says they have it but very few do. You have the 10.5" turbo housing and the MR cams stick a better fuel pump in, Forge actuator and 3 port boost solenoid and full 3" exhaust see you very close if get a good map mate. Be on edge of standard injectors and con rods then

 

Good choice, loved mine

 

Hiya mate looks a clean car I'm in Essex but always take a trip to rg Motorsport in sittingbourne Kent its not that far, rich really knows his stuff and is as honest as they come been using him for years on my 340 mr. http://www.rgmotorsport.co.uk/ servicing costs are very reasonable.

 

Jay try to see Gary if you can hes about the only evo tuner that dont try to fill your mind full of bollocks as Bob says he is very good

And nice evo by the way

 

Agreed and and another good one is mark shead

 

That will be perfect I think and should be plenty quick enough for me then.

 

You read my mind, have ordered a carbon vortex as we speak

 

Your evo looked very nice Staffi I remember seeing it on here. Do you have any pics

 

Be spot on then mate! Might see you around Essex oh and I like the carbon lip around the exhaust but you've already got that

 

Cheers buddy I will take a look on his site now, what have you had done to yours since you owned it?

 

Lovely car mate, really like this shape. I spotted you posted on MLR about tints, personally I would go for a medium tint rather than blacked out, less drug dealer.

 

looking very nice... if i could afford one i would

 

I approve mate.

A few mods should see a solid 400bhp.

 

How do you rate how these drive mate? Thinking of getting one myself.

 

Hi ,nice car mate . I'm in Essex and use Joe at GSMOTOSPORT in collier row Romford .

 

Mines just a basic stage 1 and carbon splitter I like the oem look tbh. Had it nearly 8 years now still love the old girl

 

Hi mate, i think you are right here, a more subtle tint would be better than the totally black ones currently on there. Will be another job on my to do list i think

 

Loving your evo in your sig, seems quite a popular car on pf

 

Well ive only had the car a few days so not driven it a huge amount, but on the way home it had a good 5+ hour run and felt really good on the road, held the road well a firm ride but not too harsh and in the rain felt very stable. Picks up well and the brakes seem pretty good for standard too so overall im pretty pleased.

 

Grey would have been my first choice of colour i think but do like the silver now ive got it.

 

You need to throw it hard into a rounabout and give it some beans as you turn so you get the car into a nice 4wd slide. You'll be surprised how much of a twat you can be and get away with it because of the gadgets and AYC when in a 4x4 cossie youd of crashed

 

He is just outside Norwich mate, but as I said well worth the drive.

 

wont get much drifting with AYC its there to stop it need to good old RS LSD for that

 

I don't think the ayc gets you out jail that easy at all I find mine a right handful coming off of roundabouts they're alot more tail happy than impreza's.

 

I was very surprised the first time i drove my old impreza hard, couldnt belive how sideways it used to get. Before i brought one i always thought they just gripped and gripped but it was not the case at all with that
