My Evo 9

ChrisD. · 4 Aug 2013 at 20:09

Evo 9 GT had 5 speed, GSR has 6 speed. As above, since it's an import it'll be down as the wrong model. I think most Evo 8's were down as FQ300's even then 320, 340 etc.

There wasn't ever a problem, certainly nothing in the datalogs etc. Apparently all 9's do it and the noise is pronounced with the 3 port solenoid.

not in my mates :confused:

doesnt makes that noise and he has a 360fq at just over 400bhp.

What spec is it? Does it have the same intake and solenoid as mine?

Can we have some speedocam GoPro footage? Please?

ChrisD. · 8 Aug 2013 at 17:46

You mean you want me to show myself speeding?

ChrisD. · 9 Aug 2013 at 17:40

Here you go.

fair bit quicker than pre remap.

edelweiss800 · 9 Aug 2013 at 17:53

what tyres you got on? and what was the car before all mods 300 320 ?

ChrisD. · 9 Aug 2013 at 18:09

AD08s.

Car had an induction kit on when I bought it and made 350 at powerstation IIRC.

Seems to be around 0.8-1 seconds quicker from 40-100.

A bit of an update. The previous owner put around 20k motorway miles on the car so the front end wasn't particularly brilliant. Coupled with getting a load of grit thrown up at the car from roadworks a few months ago I wanted to get the front end resprayed. In addition to this the laquer on the rear spoiler blade needed sorting as did the mesh on the front bumper and finally I wanted the headlights 'de-tangoed'. Before I went on holiday I dropped the car off to TGM to have the work done. They put in some orange bulbs and I have some silvertec's ready to go in, but it doesn't look an easy job, I'll give it a go when the wather's a bit nicer.

Before:

After:

I am very happy with the result.

Since getting the Focus and I'm no longer taking the Evo to work the MPG has dropped by around 5, tank before last was 19 and the latest 21.

not a great match there on the colour

(has the bumper been replaced as the bonnet and bumper are different colours.

ChrisD. · 24 Aug 2013 at 16:20

No sure what you're on about, the match is 100%. Might just be the photo?

Maximum Triceratops · 24 Aug 2013 at 18:13

Looks ok to me.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 24 Aug 2013 at 20:50

Spot on match, I'm anal about these sort of things as well, can spot poor paintwork with my eyes closed.

Clarkey · 24 Aug 2013 at 21:22

The lip certainly doesn't match or even come close.

L0rdMike · 24 Aug 2013 at 21:29

First thing I thought was god what an aweful colour match.

~>Dg<~ · 24 Aug 2013 at 22:56

if you cant tell those colours dont match specsavers.com

looks excellent Chris. the removal of the orange really sorts it out imho and the silvatecs should make it look spot on.

im sure the car looks great in real life. pics never do things justice tbh. except when howard takes them. then things look good.
