More turbo lag than... well, a car with lots of turbo lag indeed.

 

[Ali]

Awesome! Lag...Just change gear like you bent honda boys do!!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Really want an VIII MR. £15k now, but I'd never even consider an FQ400 tbh. Unpracticle to the Nth degree.

 

[Ali]

Spk to Ant1...Although i'm not sure he rated it.

 

[The_Pirate]

Turbo lag is foreplay

 

[Ali]

It's just rubbish tbh! lol. NA all the way!

Was weird driving the Evo, you bak off and you speed up! lol

 

[Alan]

Boooost.

Tool and a half tho couldn't be sac'd with the service intervals.

 

[The_Pirate]

3.5 seconds to 60?

I dont understand why so many people write them off straight away?

(Ive never driven an Evo so i couldnt comment lol)

Aye that would be a bit of ball ache, oil changes every 5000 miles

LOL. Aye once and then the clutch is shagged!

 

[theduck]

Was it not one of these that something like a panda was faster than in 4th gear? lol

 

[Ali]

No, just faster off boost.

 

[theduck]

Yeah I know, was one of the standard in gear test times, like 30-50 etc. Think it was a topgear thing

 

[theduck]

Jsut found what i was talking about. Not an FQ400 or a panda lol

MR FQ400 has higher running costs than a Ferrari 360 Modena

 

[Jordi17]

Yeh but its also just as quick looking at the figures.

What a beast !!!!

True, but no one will look at the evo. I love evo's i'd deffo have one when I have a kid.

 

[Jordi17]

that could be a good thing, not as much chance of jealous chavs keying it etc.

 

[cat171]

True, still the chance of it getting nicked or getting car jacked though.

LOL!

What? Are you kidding mate?

There are far more specialists for Mitsubishi than Ferrari. Id check your sources mate

 

[The_Pirate]

That top gear trial was absolute garbage to be tbh

Obviously n/a cars are going to pass it off boost, any would!

On boost your going to need somthing 400bhp+ to pass it!

 

[.GAZ.]

my ph1 would smoke it!

Well I know a guy who has both so think he should know.

 

[The_Pirate]

Hmm okay then.

Clutch changes on 360's is around 3k and fairly common for them to be needing changed if under hard use!

Service costs and part prices etc?

Still cheaper is it?

Ive got a mate thats got a mate that isnt so sure

 

[AK]

Danny you've nae mates ..

<3

 

[The_Pirate]

Away and climb yer bar stool

 

[Fletcher]

Nice i really like these

 

[Dave Hester]

I kind of see your point danny but he takes both cars to the same independant garage and the servicing of both cars is roughly the same but fuel consumption in the evo is far worse, clutch in the 360 lasted long than the evo also

I can belive it to a degree (accoring to some lancer owners 9-10mpg is the norm from spirited driving)

You got pics of his cars per chance mate?

Yep they are thirsty buses, and the clutches are made of cheese

Unlike you... you're stuck on a wee grass verge :dead:

cambelt kit for an F360 is cheaper than a 172, and its about 50% easier to do a an F360 than a 172 also, i s**t you not

 

[Timmay]

id have it tbh
