Looks very good Dingy The stickers / decals suit it well, and I like the wheels on it - sure there are better, but I don't think 8 wheels look out of place on 6's, seen plenty like it.

Bring it to National Day "just in case" and we'll see how easy it is to drive!

Deffo a very nice road car

lol - I was looking at this pic of mine last night, it was just a day or two before the new owner picked it up.



and was thinking the same thing... hmm.

Dingy - On my ring trip a few years back, I am sure I was out there with an Evo 6 that looked identical to that one. It had been boosted up etc and went well. Is that the same one? The owner was a lad who looked well built, about 5 ft 10 and nae hair.

I know what you mean about them being easy to drive quick. You can get quite close to the limit very quickly unlike a rwd car. My m3 is much harder to drive on the edge in varying conditions. But that just means that the speeds on the lanes gets even higher as you keep it nailed everywhere!

Hope u enjoy the new motor mate oh yeah, and somehow keep from the discs from warping!

Cheers

Makes me laugh when i hear people saying how reliable jap stuff is, wait for another 10 years and then see if your saying the same thing


Ive known a few people with evo's ,they say there good cars but ŁŁŁŁŁ to run when stuff does goes wrong ,like Ł1000 for a clutch and Ł1100 for brakes fuck that

The thing with EVO's, the owners have to spend ŁŁŁ's keeping them maintained, service intervals are short and so they tend to be very well looked after.

Lots of Cosworths tend to attract owners that wouldn't maintain them in such a way, which is where they get the unreliable tag from.

None of my Cosworth's have been unreliable, if you make sure things are fresh and change things early, then they'll never let you down!!

Ya joking shirley?!

They are probably the worst wheels ever to come on an Evo.. Tommin Mak wheels are probably the best stock rims.
