Some may recall i asked for buying advise the other week, well i picked up my new motor yesterday
still trying to get the grin off my face!
99 Evo VI GSR, went down to have a look at the car yesterday(thats all i intended it to be .. a look), was so impressed i ended up leaving with the car.
the car has been so well looked after, body work is solid very very little rust(couple of tiny bits of surface rust), transmission is solid and crisp, steering and suspension tight and responsive, engine... performance is ******* BRUTAL.
it has had some modifications and has been mapped to Approx 366bhp
the car is by no means perfect, there are a few small things to tend to before i'll be 100% happy with it.
1. An ABS sensor needs replacing.
2. engine bay needs a good clean up.
3. new rear pads and discs, dosnt really need them but the front have just been replaced and would just like to get it out of the way.
4. a tiny bit of laquar or whatever it is flaking on the bottom of the rear bumper.
5. sort out the tiny bits of rust.
6. professionally cleaned underneath then rustproofed/undersealed
7. mesh on the grills could do with a lick of paint
8. also need to square away that dodgy blue colour scheme thats going on there, return it to red, thinking of just buying another unmolested rocker cover, rather than fannying about painting it.
9. but first and foremost give it a good clean! it got manky on the drive home, the road conditions were horrid! that however is my job for Saturday morning!
no doubt i'll find more as i go along but this is my current to do list.
All in all though i'm extremely happy with the car
Will get some better photos up after i clean it at the weekend
