Just wondering if anyone has changed sides yet besides Patster...(very nice car mate)

I went from a modded XT forester basicly all the bolt ons you could think of ,next step with the foz was building the engine
From this




To this




I have always loved subies love the boxer rumble I had a mildly modded RS legacy back in NZ, I will get back into one one day but the power you can get of of these stock 4g63s is LUDAKRIS

Gota admit, that looks fkn hot!

Cheers Flip I will have to book you in somtime to get some decent shots, I tried to take some last weekend and there is massive tree shadows in almost every pic bloddy trees lol

No worries man, whenever your ready let us know! Yerh shadows are a bitch!

Freak Manz, that Evo is insanely hot.

P.s, your name is Manuel or similar, isnt it?

Cheers prezza.

yeah mate Manuel

When did you get your car ?? I dont remember reading any where you got it??

hahah, got it just over a week ago.

Been whoring it all over w3xn3t and JDMST.

Yep it is ridiculous..
Did you get the car sorted Manz...

HI Pat

Got the tune sorted and the fan issue temporarily fixed. I still have a couple of small other issues i need to sort out.The wastegate spring in the external gate is too soft causing boost to come on very late, contimplating a smaller turbo. The car isn't taking priority money wise at the moment as its only driven on weekends

Good to hear manz.

I think if i ever get another car it may be an EVO 8 or 9.

x2

love the evo 9 to bits

but gotta say the rexy rumble...

Nope not me. I dont think i could ever give up that boxer rumble. The mitsu's just dont have it!
My other half is thinking of selling up his Legnum for an evo7.
Thats fine by me, but the competition will be fierce!!

Ive always some freak who loves rexies and evos would bout an subie engine in an evo. Like that crazy one of the civic with the rexie! Not just engine but whole chassis!

I do miss the boxer burble. The evo sounds like a rotar on idle with the 272s

Thats why i cant understand peeps that go ELH with the EJs needs there heads read IMO

Rexy engine in an evo 9 body... That would sure be sweet!

Best of both worlds A forged EJ in an evo I rikey

I love legnums/galant vr4s.. I really wanted one, But how hard are parts to come by
and the power to money spent on the 6a13 isn't worth it
glad I got the wrx, but now looking for something a bit more raw/hardcore so an evo upgrade may be on the cards

Out of curiosity, what sort of safe power can you make out of the stock evo engine? Seeing as you guys are saying it's LUDAKRIS

Have had many sti's and wrx's previously and went to an Evo 9. Loved the sharp turn in, the handling in general, the easy power available from just an exhaust and tune (ran 110mph). Didn't like the flimsy feeling 6 speed box.

I've heard a fair few times that the evo is very uncomfortable to drive in! Not necessarily the seats but the ride quality! This true?

Not un common for 250- 260 atw 98 oct, the 4gs love boost 21-22 psi on a big turbo 35r etc can run more with smaller turbos. E85 .... add 30atw minnimum to above figures.

Depends on what suspesion your running just like any car.
Um one way yo describe mine is RAW, feels like your in a racing car not a road car,Id have to drive a stock one to compare. The twin plate clutch is very unforgiving, and can make you look like a complete tard if your not on the ball

I love the way evo's make power, they have a really nice spread of torque. the only prob for me is thier 6 speed's are weak from what i here. i heard anything around 250rwkw's on a evo that's tracked and given hell u have to watch out, same goes for the rear diff which is also a expensive fix if u want to go aftermarket. turn in is great on em but put a spec c 13.1 ratio steering rack in ur subie and u'll be suprised. but for a track car on a budget u cant beat em hands down, look evil too lol
