the new jap scrap. 4WD content within

Untrue mate its unreal how composed it is. Dropping a mate into belfast last night hit 140 and the lads just carried on there conversation, that was 4 up with all spare original parts still in the boot and near a tank of fuel. Its as composed as any normal motor. Doesn't dive about or plunge when you hit a bump etc it just eats over it lol

Nice whip brah, needs badges and less wind deflectors though imho. :D

Mate of mine has a standard 9 FQ-360 and its rapiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid. Shame he only drives it about once a week and drives a 1.25 Fiesta the rest of the time. :rolleyes:

Seems a bit daft having an Evo that ^ low, since the best thing about them is the rate they cover ground, and you won't be if you have to hit the brakes for every slight undulation in the road? :p

Looks awesome. I'd personally raise the rear a little and put some ~10mm spacers on the rear just to get the stance right, but other than that it looks fantastic, and has a great spec.

Enjoy :cool:
 
Fair enough, how are the brakes with those upgrades? My only criticism of driving the FQ360 was that the brakes were about half as effective as they needed to be in relation to the speed potential, didn't inspire much confidence

If they're good I can pass on a recommendation for a similiar setup on his 9 :)
 
Brakes are good bit I can't compare much as I don't have a lot of evo experience. I do know they were expensive disks at around 700 quid
 
I like it. As said raise the rear just a tad. And put some badges back on the back, should look top notch then.
 
That is stunning! Very nice!

With regards to the ride height... seems to be a bit of an optical illusion with the front arches being quite a bit bigger. That said it is the only thing I would change by raising it slightly.

This car is awesome, I love it :)

Not sure 3000bhp at 24 is that amazing though, I'd rather have had less bhp and enjoyed some of the cars for longer :p
 
Very nice, the front splitter on them make it look so much better. My mate has the carbon sideskirt spats at the rear and is going to get the bits that go underneath as well.

Looks very nice mate :)

So go on loads of test drives and buy only the ones you really love ;)

Bah, far too sensible.

The trick is to buy whatever takes your fancy, drive it for a couple of months, realize it isn't really for it you, sell it and buy something else, only to get misty eyed again about the model of car you've just sold, so you buy another one, drive it for a couple of weeks only to remember why you sold the first one you had, sell the new one you've bought and then rinse and repeat.

6 of my 8 cars have been repeats :cool:.

Youth and inexperience, what a dangerous thing for both you, your passengers and those who have to share the road with you. ;)

Time & a place for testing out your motors ability, the above is not one of them imo.

Anyway - If a modified car was what I was after, I'd rather a supercharged e46 M3 tbh.
