...bought an Lancer Evo
(IMG:http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9297/img0680ub.th.jpg) (IMG:http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/2791/img0683p.th.jpg) (IMG:http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2867/img0682o.th.jpg) (IMG:http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/2988/img0681zj.th.jpg) 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. |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

Your dad is the coolest.
I so wished they had sold those here in the States... Definitely one of my favorite LanEVOs. This post has been edited by nizmo_bro: Oct 5 2010, 05:24 PM |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) Sources vary but it's around 280bhp/276ft-lb from what I can see. As for performance, sources also vary. I'd hazard a sensible guess at just under 5 seconds (Although some sources reckon it's as low as 4.5! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sadeyes1.gif) ) Top speed I'd imagine is around 140mph. Other cool parts it has are Brembo brakes, Recaro bucket seats and a Momo steering wheel.

Hmm, more HP then mine, but I have a brand spanking new twin clutch transmission which is really what makes my car fast. are those times 0-60 or 1/4 mile O_o |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) I don't think we got that model evo here. not sure if the ones after are any different. |
