ImaRacing 700

Been out in an EVO 6........and it was awesome...the handling...around 300bhp with small mods done....launched awesome ...Had a chat with MADMark and parts are similar to cossie prices and i can DIY it as its no where near as complex/expensive as the GTR i had...with Autronic 380bhp acheivable on std engine/turbo ...so i am looking out for one...either a 5/6 or a 7 is tempting as they are the same price as a 6..BUT i dont know if i like the tamer looks PLUS i'd say the 6 will be a better investment.

SO looks like the cossie may be stripped again .....just when it is going so fooking quick....but i just want the modern day version of rally car...and even though i could easily spend the cash and build a 700bhp cossie engine,the cossie and my GTR r32 is just so outdated by the EVO....

PS the Cossie will just go back to std and be kept as my mature toy

But Phil, you'll only get bored again so you might as well leave it built up and buy the EVO as as well....

ImaRacing 700

Daz....the GTR32 is a ropey car very old fashioned like the cossie...the EVO is just so bang up to date and if i can DIY it then i will NOT be looking back

ImaRacing 700

BTW i am in no way dissing the Cossie...will always be a fantastic car ..i just want a more modern drive with the same tuning potensial.

Shings

AYC is the prob with them as acording the lancer registers buying guide it needs a special tool to service it

TIFF

AYC can only be done by Mitsi themselves, and at a cost of Ł600 per 4000 mile

One of the reasons why i havent got one is the servicing costs

allsteel

Get breaking it and get those goodies on here for sale.

ImaRacing 700

Tiff well thats 10 years motoring for me that 4000miles

The best is always costly ....i would imagine back in the Cossie era the servicing was expensive.

Ginge !

no just the rebuilds every year

ImaRacing 700

Cossies only ever became unreliable when tuners saw the doorway to a market!

GARETH T

just buy an rs sprint without the AYC

Physio

EVO TIME

Tiff, i had the AYC fluid changed on my last service & it all came to a total of Ł220 (inc service, parts labour v.a.t) & that was from mitsi dealers

Ginge !

what, i thought a rebuild was part of the yearly sevice on a cossie


change oil,
change brake fliud
change antifreeze
change plugs and leads
change pistons and rings

TIFF

They must of hear that you was the guy that was looking at buying a YELLOW MONDEO and felt sorry for you

Ginge !

whats AVC

ImaRacing 700

Cheers AJ...so i can use the EVO more frequently!

BTW whats different to yours than a normal GSR 6????

when u bought the skyline the cossie was poo and the skyline was great.

now you're thinking of buying an evo and now the cossie and skyline are equally poo. wtf?

are you pissed off because people take no notice of and ridicule you and your cossie 'diy tuning' bolox?.........so you feel the need to diss the cossie and go on about how superior a skyline/evo/whatever is?

Physio

Phil, mines a TME (Tommi Makinen Edition)

It's got a titanium turbo, different front bumper to the gsr, it's lower than a gsr by 10mm, the suspension is more firm & has a tarmac set up, the interior has Tommi Makinen emboidered into it, it comes with white alloys, & the best thing is that there's only 50 made in each colour & are numbered individually & red one's are the ones that hold their money really well, so i should get about the same money for it when i come to sell it

Ginge !

he just buys and sells cars for attention


would be a great fun way for it though

but all he does is buy em and sell em, he dont actually drive em

Physio

Christianh3, i cant see that Phil's said the cossie's poo anywhere

marco

.....and One Luv goes out to Christianh3 too

ImaRacing 700

Marco....in case you never saw this...

My reply...is this :-

Marco Marco you are so cool

you tried to fix your car,what a fool

he tried to do the cam belt tension

but you had to have a brain which no one dare mention

he started up the mota

oh what a fucking phota

16 bent valves

which ended up shorter than the elves

he got it rebuilt by a pro

but it may as well been by a ho

had more rattles than a rattle snake

so the pro turned out to be a fake

never again will i diss DIY

its only cause i was so fucking high

i like evo's, like really like em looks wise an performance on paper. But, i went out in a modded 6, with autronic and other bits which i wasnt paying attention too, and it didnt impress me Dunno why, felt very tame. Perhaps cos it's so tame for a rally car. Where as friends 22B does impress me, despite being slower than my old 210bhp s2 in a straight line lol

Phil. deffo a red tommi mak mate, like AJ's

Physio

Yes Dom, you knows it claart

if you want a rally car phil, why not buy the proper tarmac rally suspension bits for the sierra?

i'm sure that if you got all the suspension converted to proper coilovers, tie bars, adjustable anti-roll bars, all adjustable camber / caster and everything, then the crappy sierra handling could be vastly improved.

look what brom is doing to his 3 door. it's proper suspension geometry that makes a car handle well, and with a little cash invested into it, it can be converted to run a better suspension package with improved pick up points and stuff. most modern cars have the benefit of this from the factory, but the sierra suspension was built purely for cheapness, not for good handling.

I have three words to say - a prize of a half a packet of cheese and onion crisps goes to the first person that can guess what they are .

"you fucking gay"

??????????????????

brad

for fuks sake ??????????????

i didnt want the crisps anyway

tbh , i dont blame phill for wanting an evo . my m8 has a tm evo and if the guy that owns it could actually drive, it would be a proper weapon , another m8 has a 6 and thats a fookin awesom handling car too , although you cant get one sideways very easily so they arent as much fun as a cossi
