This beautiful piece of automotive history has a nasty habit of making people look like inferior drivers,think what they\'re trying to say is ,be careful,take it steady to start with,get used to her characteristics.

You said it Pete there\'s plenty on here can vouch for how the back-end can step out without much  warning especially when the second turbo spools up.

Post by: pete sparrow on March 07, 2006, 11:11:13 PM
OH YES!!!!!!!! Happened to me a few times!! I now only have one turbo to contend with(T78) now,yet to try her at all,still being rebuilt,but a whole new ball game,can\'t wait.

welcome and nice car mate.
Loads of the fd\'s in this country are in need of suspension bushes and  proper suspension/geometry setup so they handle like a bag of poo. In reality these car\'s handle great you have the above set correctly with some decent tyres.

The spoiler suits the car,anyway goes down to personel taste.

i posted the link for you actually because you was asking what type the spoiler was  :spank I have never made any comment about this spoiler so i cannot see why your being arsy. I actually think the bonnet thing is a good idea and i\'ve never seen it before so thats why i asked!!!!  :2Mad

Apologises,it was the way you\'d worded your post and the link was hardly complimentary towards the spoiler.
Thanks for the link,atleast a few people knew the different makers,even if they didnt like the spoiler.

Thanks for the welcome,sure dont see many Rx\'s about thought EVO\'s were thin on the ground.
 add number by all means.am often in hornsea as mother in law and 1 of the kids lives there (plus have a boat in the compound  there ).
be good to meet up especialy as you are a veteran and me a newby learned a fair bit  about moding EVO\'s when i had one so starting to learn all over on the RX but have 1st bits lined up - twin hks induction kit and hard pipe picking up next week and probably going for forge twin dump valves (know 1 is enough but 2 looks better too ).
whats been wrong with yours ?

Water seal went, so is having a new rebuilt engine fitted and an extended street port done to go with the T88 single....

Had a thrash with one of the New Evo FQ340\'s a while back, and even though i was only running .6 - .7 BAR boost making 263 RWHP it was a pretty even match, would like to meet it again once my cars sorted lol...

Pete my number is 07725 611430

saved number cheers.
fq was probably running 1.5 bar boost had that in my evo V but ran it at 1.2 bar for safety, lose 24% power from flywheel to wheels as 4 wheel drive mine was 279.2 wheel and 367 ATFW still was quick  after mods done
 :). the RX is same as evo was before ecu flashed and remapped its running at 227 BHP will get all bits to go on at once picking up HKS induction and hard pipe next tuesday,VTA dump valves on list next (recirculating on now ) pmsl only had the car 3 days and wallets opened
