...bought an Lancer Evo
It's a lovely Evolution 5 finished in 'Satellite Silver', it's covered only 57,000 miles and cost my dad £5,995 ($9,530~). The best bit is that it's already got a few modifications, namely Tein Adjustable Coilovers worth like £2,500, a HKS induction kit and an aftermarket exhaust which I don't know what make it is, maybe HKS.
He gets to pick it up the weekend after this next one (16th/17th Oct). Expect many photos of this and Ed's dad's Legacy. Excited isn't the word.
lucky guys whos fathers buy lancers evos
midlife crisis?
my dad has a midlife crises and he bought a motorbike, but this is much cooler!
was it your dad who bought some citroen a while back?
Eh, sort of a midlife crisis car. My parents got divorced and now he can't afford to keep the Citroen, so he bought this outright so he doesn't have to worry about payments, only running costs.
Sweet! What are the specs on it? I heard my car is basically just as good as an older EVO so maybe we can roll together
Your dad is the coolest.
I so wished they had sold those here in the States... Definitely one of my favorite LanEVOs.
Ur dad...
...is me.
hi dad
edit: lol whoops didn't notice my photos weren't showing up full size
even if it were the 1/4, you meant the 1/8
sounds like 0-60
i love old evos, mostly the 5 and 6, your dad is amazing, does he make you deliver tofu?
Yeah... looking back I'm not sure why I asked that. lol
my 0-60 is 6 seconds, 5 seconds with rollout/brake launch (horrible for your tranny, but kills turbo lag)
If what you said is right, I'm not sure why people said my car is as good as an old evo... maybe they meant the USDM ones I don't think we got that model evo here. not sure if the ones after are any different.
WHITE ON WHITE OR WHITE ON BLACK
NOW
^ LOL
Very cool, it took like 2 years for your baba to get a jdm tight car, weird stuff
you might have the sexiest car on pca sitting in your drive....

Bring it.
Your dad is cool, My dad didnt even buy me a $800 skyline which has been used for drift.. now someone has just bought it. Cool car dude
Well, as some of you may have remembered (You probably didn't), we were supposed to be picking up the car today. Sadly this didn't happen as Lloyds TSB are dreadful and lost both of my dad's card applications. That said we did still go test drive it, and I got more photos.
Drove fantastically, or so my dad says. Something that did make me laugh though was the sheer amount of Japanese cars on the road in that area. I mean I knew the Black Country had a load of modified cars. But Jesus, we saw another 3 Evos within 5 minutes
Oh yeah and they had this Nissan Pao, never seen one of these outside of GT4 before.
cool. I love Lloyd TSB's ad remixed with dubstep.
Also, I was driving behind an Evo 10, on the way to my uncle's who has a Ford Falcon Ba, with over 400hp, Garrett turbo. and my uncle also came over with his fully sick Celica, it's turbocharged, along with the full engine swap.. and he just bought a $75k HSV senator Series 2 Signiture. My uncles are rich, my family is not. Good luck joyriding.
Evo Xs are pretty sick, we saw an Evo VI, and Evo VIII, and a IX. We also saw 2 MR2s, a Pulsar GTi-R and a Supra.
The garage itself was pretty sick. Look...
R32... WANT.
specialized in imports?
Indeed, he had like 20 Nissan Figaros
Awww man. I can get an R32 for 5.5k. or 4 door r33 for 6,800 which is sexy. even though I see those on road everyday, I love seeing them, and i still get excited, especcially rx7s, they are rareish in my area
EDIT: Here is my uncle's Celica: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?trecs=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Ntk=CarAll&PriceFrom=463&__Ntt=purple&R=9377564&seot=1&silo=1011&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=purple&__D=purple&__sid=12B537E76D3B&Cr=0&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294962861%204294962171%20463%20408%20900&PriceTo=408&__Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&__Qpb=true&__Nne=15&__Dx=mode%20matchanyhe'she's selling it for the HSV he bought
Good choice : D
baha.he has a red one of these http://tinyurl.com/HSVSenator
wtf, it comes riced from the factory? lol
What? It has an LS something.
6.2 L 317 kW (425 hp) V8: Gen IV LS3
and look at the Series 1, he wants to swap that rear on.
I don't really know what I'm looking for, lol, but yeah, i think the rear was the ugliest part so it would be good to swap it out
the rims aren't all that great either.
dluzive, WTFBBQGTFOMOFOLULZORSAUCEf**kINGBBBBBBEEEEQQQQQSAUCE......................
.....want.
Saw it tonight
went for a drive around the block, damn its fast
DO THIS
haha HSV commo. also awesome find.. and buy that damn GTR!
It's a Senator, off carsales.
same sh*t
Hey everyone let's look at some s**tty photos
Cool dood
So I went fishing through the boot and I found something cool
The box for the Turbo Timer/Boost Controller. Inside it I found...
Instruction manuals for the aforementioned Turbo Timer/Boost Controller and the Boost Gauge, which we now know is also made by GReddy/Trust too.
What interested me most though was this...
It appears that there is an aftermarket HKS F-Con SZ ECU installed as well, pretty cool. It seems some serious money has been spent on this car in Japan, so far the mod list is as follows;
- Tein Adjustable Coilovers
- HKS F-Con SZ ECU
- GReddy Profec B-Spec II
- GReddy Boost Gauge
- Aftermarket Exhaust and Air Filter (Unknown manufacturer)
Me and my dad plan to get the wheels refurbed and repainted soon too, as there's a bit of kerb rash on one. Any colour ideas? Nothing stupid like orange or green, that s**t looks gay, and my dad's nearly 50.
Same silver or a darker gunmetal kind of colour
I would say either the same color or gunmetal or bronze.
What Jay dot red said.
black
lol so I was just looking at some replacement O.Z Racing centre caps because the current ones are f**ked, to put it lightly...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OZ-Racing-Centre-Caps-M595-63mm-Carbon-Black-Set-4-/280580769464?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4153eac6b8#ht_500wt_1156
How much?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MITSUBISHI-ALLOY-WHEEL-CAP-CENTRE-/110605307649?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c0970f01#ht_739wt_905
Much better. Also, does anyone have any experience with painting brake calipers? It's just occured to me that the once red Brembo brakes are now a nasty faded pink, not good
Yeah, my center caps are about $45 for a set of four. (they've got a little bit of carbon on them as well) I've replaced them 2 times. Next time I'm just going to repair the ones i've got.
You could just buy blank centercaps and get centercap stickers or just put centercap stickes on the stock ones if they are flat. I was going to do that for my civic when I bought Acura wheels (that ended up not fitting). They were enkei made wheels so I bought enkei stickers to put over the Acura stuff. I ended up just selling them along with the wheels though.

I think mine sounds nicer
You should really get it dyno'd or at least measure its 0-60 time, I'm curious.
At least they have an EVO lol
Remember what Jeremy Clarkson said to whatshisname about Evos?
I'd probably go with something simple and painted white.
something like this:
Although the ones he has now look almost as good.
Funny thing about them white wheels, my dad hates them. They do look cool though, they remind me of;
I only chose them because the car is white. I think white wheels looks good on that car if its white. I think it gives it that classic rally look. Show the pics I posted to your dad.
Isn't the car silver? not white. IMO, white wheels don't really go well with a silver car. I would stick with a darker color. Gunmetal or bronze.
gunmetal, i don't think bronze would look quite so good
idk, i kinda like bronze on silver
D\'OH!
I saw this pic
and thought that was his car. lol. I\'m not sure anymore about the wheels
You could always get wheels to match the ones I want
http://www.lancerregister.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=127215&stc=1&d=1234132112
Gunmetal and bronze would both look good, I just thought they'd be a bit played out though. But I suppose the design of the wheel itself matters most anyway, I like those wheels Mike, but I prefer "fatter" spokes, know what I mean? I guess it's up to my dad at the end of the day anyway.
Just bought these:
Decent sound quality, here we come!
Alpine SXE-1725S 16cm/6.5" Coaxial 2-Way Speakers
220 Watts Peak
40 Watts RMS
4 Ohm Impendance
60Hz-20Khz Freq. Response
Needs more de-spoilered
But Evo Vs look s**t with no spoiler
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysa0jzKAqKE
I think the spoiler gives it its evo-ness, without it, it just looks like a mitsubishi mirage with a bodykit.
Mirage with a bodykit, lol. Over here that would be a hatchback with an Evo Kit. Unless you mean Lancer with evo kit, which I've seen which are ugly. And Evos are Bigger!
I like the spoiler.
NZ knows what to do with Mirages.
In america, all that generation of lancers/mirages were just called mirages. The name Lancer is fairly new in america.
So Lancer is only Evo there?
Keep the spoiler on.
We didn't have lancer evolutions here untill like the Evo VIII
You find me a decent, cheap spoiler for an Evo V or VI that is easily available in the UK, and isn't an Evo VI spoiler, and also, isn't one of the huge adjustable ones like you see on drift cars.
Speakers in tomorrow, if all goes well
I think a CF one would look cool, but it doesn't have to be huge.
something like that, but smaller would be cool imo.
It would help too cuz its for sure a lot lighter, so not rice
Yeah they look cool on something like that time attack Evo, but that's got a full wide body kit to match. I've seen spoilers like that on cars such as Imprezas and it's not a good look if you haven't got a body kit to match, believe me
However thank you very much for suggesting them cos I came across http://www.fqperformance.com/shop/index.php?cPath=22_143&osCsid=de56d2661f2dd7ef30ac64fd061263ff website while I was looking for photos and it looks really good
I know its a game, but you get the idea. I think it looks fine.
it needs something to balance out the front end
leave the wing alone and get this
I saw a Ralliart Evo, I didnt know they did that.
get this http://www.fqperformance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22_143_570&products_id=2371&osCsid=de56d2661f2dd7ef30ac64fd061263ff
keep that spoiler, just paint the center part black
it looks f**king ugly with that CF one when it has no wide body kit
well since that evo doesn't need to be lighter - you are not going to race with it, are you? what about just imitation of CF?
I saw many Evo 5s and Evo 6s today.
oops
dem real te37s
BLACK ON ORANGE BITCH
*Orange on black.
yeah whatever, you know what I mean
Yes, it's alright.

THIS IS AWESOME. How much was yours again?
£5,995 ($9586.65)
Ohhh s**t. We can get an Evo 2 for that Is that American or Aus?
Super late reply but I believe that was in USD
Maybe I should actually update this thread. Oh well, my dad said he plans to start spending money on this car in the new year, my dad got laid off though so don't expect super uber cool expensive awesome modifications. Matter of fact the only major modification he'd do would be to install a 6-Speed gearbox from a later Evo, and that's only because having a short ratio 5-speed gearbox on the motorway is really s**tty, noisy and expensive. Suggestions please
Also lol, I never knew how many rip-off Evo V bumpers you could buy for different cars
My personal favourite...
now that one siliconed up lemon
shadow bumper in nfs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTCdEfFd2wg
tsss. my dad got an old volvo and slapped an OEM rear spoiler on it
You are amazing dude.
