If he didn't like an Evo he'd fall asleep in a Mazda.

Mine (IX FQ320) was a bit weak above 6000, decat sorted that. You don't need 400/400, just a decat and intake, they respond very well to basic bolt ons. If you start chasing numbers in an Evo you will spend £1000's on 10 bhp which you won't notice on the road. Mine's around 380bhp and it's fast enough for UK roads. If you found an VIII boring you won't like the X, they are far more grown up and refined compared to the VII-IX model. Seriously, go fine a IX 340 or similar and drive that.

I fancy swapping in my Evo for a 135i or a 335i + remap at times.

ChrisD. · 25 Jul 2013 at 10:28

No, not at all. I always chop and change cars.

ChrisD. · 25 Jul 2013 at 11:23

I wouldn't mind an E46 M6, but I think it'll feel slow after my Evo?

ChrisD. · 25 Jul 2013 at 11:36

A CS would be nice I admit. May see if my local BMW garage has one.

They will average between 25-35 depending on how it is driven. MPG does vary quite a lot with the K20, more so than the H22 or B18 I found.

I often hanker after an NSX. I'm lucky enough to have been out in one a few times, mate of mine owned one. Let me dig out a pic.

Here you go, my old DC5 on the left.

RE050A OEM size.

ChrisD. · 14 Aug 2013 at 17:51

Sounds muted and I hate the way it looks.

ChrisD. · 15 Aug 2013 at 12:05

You need KPro. Easy 300+ miles then, some lad got 400 out of his DC5.

I really really wanted an S2000. Till Des bought one and he ended up selling it as he was scared of driving it in the rain or cold. But you do drive a poxy breadvan so anything is an improvement.

ChrisD. · 15 Aug 2013 at 12:22

Probably would be with me behind the wheel.

I need to go on one of those tuition days.

Ive read on the forums these chains are ment to be "good for life"

If it's looked after for all its life. It's common for the tensioners to start slacking and the chain can stretch, I personally wouldn't worry about it if it has decent service history etc.

ChrisD. · 16 Aug 2013 at 15:07

Just order from Henry performance or similar.

Do you mean Hendy Chris?

You want this one Peter > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIV...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a7dfa0060

The Exedy ones are a bit hit and miss on reviews.

Yeah typo.

Unlucky mate, that's some serious damage.

Unlucky. I'm guessing a mix of crap tyres and no geo setup?

My thoughts too. Can't make out the brand but they look like Chinese specials.
