Finally picked up my evo5 on fri and all i can say is wow what a car, the handling is totaly superb and the power delivery is just awesome,the 4 pot brembos are very very good, the seats are superb and the build quality is surprisingly very good inside (compared to the impreza!!!!!!!!!) and it looks so in yer face its got aircon,climate control,folding mirrors,ayc, 68k miles...but the fuel consumption is shocking got 154 miles to the first tank booting it a bit but also that includes 75 miles cruising on the motorway!! oh well i was expecting that, been told it will do 275 miles to a tank if i drive like a pussy!! thats not gona happen lol.....im as happy as a pig in shit at the mo...sorry its not a ford but i wanted a fast reliable car to drive everyday when im not working and ive found the perfect car to suit my needs
pics.........when i got it home with the oldskool orange indicators fitted and HUGE front plate which has been changed to a 3/4 sized 1..

changed them to clear fronts and sides with chrome bulbs looks sooo much better/newer

lovely car get rid of that air filter though

my mates turbo on his skyline kindly sucked the lot in

just left with a mesh dome

COSSIE 1

might get a blitz sus induction kit sometime??

RichardPON

I was recommended the Apexi unit which I have.

Mine was the same as yours, and green to start believe it or not!




These were the bits that fell off when I gently placed it on the rag



Now imagine that lot flying into the turbo, let alone the fact that it was full of holes and didn't actually filter anything!

Thats shocking

Very nice car mate

looked better with the Ambers

COSSIE 1

i defo prefer it with the clears and the chrome bulbs looks soooo much fresher and newer

Red16

your power/torque figures seem a little low for 20psi, with similar mods my 5's making 365bhp and 345lbft, be worth getting it on the rollers and checking all is well

fancy selling me those amber indicators ?

and 275 miles to a tank is fuckin dreamland 175 is a lot more realistic ive honestly never had more than 180 miles from a tank, no matter how i drive, even on a bit of a motorway run, theyre just completely wank on juice

Carlsworth

cool, the 5 is defo the best looking

Redkop

Nice car and a nice colour

Red16

nice cars

any idea why they are so thirsty???? there must be a reason?

surely they run closed loop like all modern cars?

Paul, looks good mate Think you need to be taking me out for a spin
Far better than the cossie, handling and power and just so useable, well done mate

nice car but my 400bhp cossie gives way more juice per tank than that

my personal best has been 150 miles to a tank and that is ragging all the way from full to empty. Best I had is around 250ish.

Lovely motor mate, always had a thing for the Evo 5's after seeing that White RS one at TOTB one year

What is the going rate on a decent 5 these days then?

Redkop

Anything between 7k [high miler] to 9k [low miler]

I dont know what filter is on it at the moment, all i know is everyone slates them because of whats been shown in pictures further up. I know a lad whos running an Apexi filter and speaks very highly of it.

nice car mate

COSSIE 1

lots of rough imports about for Ł8k+ i paid more but mines a minter so worth the extra ........awesome car

COSSIE 1

had a play with a ferrari f430 day i got it on the twisty b roads nr calne in wiltshire.........................he was severley pissed off

saff_cossie

Very nice cars. My mate and I played with the map on mine last week as he has some software out of New Zealand to play with it. He has redone his map on his IX and is running 229KW at the wheels, dynoed basically from a boost controller, exhaust and filter and a lot of fettling with the map!

We richened mine up in a couple of lean areas and it actually is even more economical now and lowered the idle which probably offsets it.

I get over 450kms to a tank now (45 litre) on highway and town driving on my VII.

The 5 is the last model I would buy due to looks and reliability and not wanting to spend big on repairs/costs in the near future.

Enjoy it, they are a lot of fun

COSSIE 1

just a rough guide mate......feels more than 320bhp ........apexi boost controller is next

COSSIE 1

cheers stu .........prefer the 5 to the 6 i dont like the front bumpers wth the offset plate...(to alfa romeo-ish), rear spoiler looks cack with the 3 flimsy mounting points, and the seats are the same design but the alacantara is on the inside and fabric webbing on the bolsters which fray and wear easier .......just think the 5 is the best of the bunch of evo's personnelly ...........i do love the ralliart mudflaps tho gona get some in either red or black

nice car just bought an evo 8 myself

weve recently sold out evo and that knocked out 324 at 16 psi, so your figure seems a tad low,

and 260 ish is totally possible out of a tank of fuel, and the reason there so thirsty is its so hard to drive them slow, they just want to go , all the time,


how do you find the ayc though, i gotta say i didnt like it at all, felt very strange as it moved about lool,

get rid of the standard recirs valve if you still have that to, they leak,

lovly car though

Red16

which Evo did you sell?

i know the 7, 8, 9 appear to be a lot better on fuel but a they do come with a 10 litre bigger petrol tank and most with a 6 speed box which would go a long way towards the extra mileage per tank.

ive owned mine since september last year and ive never had more than 182 miles per 50litre tank of V-Power needless to say ive got a few Shell Pluspoints

jameswrx

I've had a few evos and never had such terrible fuel consumption as you lot!

A decent map helps though. Strangely the most powerful one I had (mapped by abbey m'sport) was the most economical too (obviously not when flat out though) but averaged reasonable fuel consumption.

Or just reverse the standard one so when it's on boost it's pushing closed as opposed to pushing it open, works a treat.


On a side note...



How the hell did you manage that?! It looks like it's been in a fire or something. I've had many cars with those filters and that is not normal. Was it one of those ebay fakes or something?

Granted they are shite filters (as far as filtration goes) but that is not something that normally happens to them.

Best filter in my experience is the Apexi one.
