Ok but regards to you never owning an EVO, well 2dr/AWD/Hatch..Fits your criteria and it looks even better than a V6
Bet you dont by one though even when it fit the criteria my big chequebook.
Reason they are for sale is that you can get a Mr 340 for 15k less and spend a Grand and get 400hp..!
Depreciation is still better than the v6..!
Im sure you will find the MR400 is a lot quicker then the 3.3 to hundred as the 400 does 100 in less than 10 secs and the 340 about just over 11...
Lambo Murcelargo at EVO prices yeah right... maybe in 2040.
The thread was about which was the better car and it the EVO and i feel the bloke in question has made a correct and easy decision. It wins in all depts..
BTW the MR400 you describe is more rare than the v6..LOL
Exalto 2's (not exalto1's) are the best all round road tyre for the clio. For track then yes maybe something different although i have done various trackday and ring trip and realy rate them.
Get the same size tyre all round.
V6's and EVO's are not the same things at all and your right its not just about the being the fastest thing.
EVO - 4 doors boot and is completely practical, wipes the floor with most (most def the V6) in a striaght line and everything round corners. TG - EVOMR400 vs the Lambo LOL
V6 - 2...
Rubbish
Frankly you sound like one of those people you describe, one that wont ever get an EVO in there life. Own one and the costs acociated will disappear and you point of view will change. Scooby owner convert to EVO, you dont see it the other way round. You mention sound, sorry but a...
Sorry mate your on drugs.
The EVO destroys the V6 in every department. Even the 172/182 boys on the trackday look at you in the rear view.
Yes 0-60 is not the be all and end all but your point that your trying to press is :-
Ya is look cool and the chicks dig it...
Personally the EVO...
Surely its slightly mis matched to the left or to the right or up or down ? Can you match the profile so there is a constant lip all the way round equally ?
Is that better explained.. if you say 20thou (you must be old) is that the max positonally it can be out ?
Im sure you can replicate the profile with the gasket, do you need the old gasket (for refecence) so to confirm the profiles. If not surely you can nor gaurentee the profiles matching up, then must be some unwanted mismatch compared to doing it when the heads of the the inlet is bolted to it.
I would spend more money on suspension and brakes.
SUSPENSION
Koni/Eibachs 400
H&R 650/700
Both are a great improvement on standard and the H&R being coilover you can adkust the height to suit your taste.
BRAKES
DS2500 - 80
New discs if needed - 65
Braded hoses 50
Fluid - good...
The inlet to plenum match OK understand this but...
How do you ensure that the inlet ports are matched to the head ports if its an exchange. Surely some head port positions are different..and if they are dowled then unless you have the head off its never going to be a perfect match. There...
Cheapest 4pt for 200-300hp is the Vauhaull unit - Years of development and very reliable.
Best 4pt for 200 - 350 is Honda K20A - loads of developemnt and supercharger option cheap and proven. A Atom for example.
Pay someone to do it. You should be busy fettling manifolds....
I feel that a fully functional website is the best way to advertise your products and vastly reduce your time on the phone going through the details on the phone.
Totally agree i think its always the first step, best to be clear and website based aswell. Will save 1000 phone calls asking about the same thing over and over again..
Im sure you know better then me regard the DT stuff, that DT for you. Whats the additional stuff ? and how much would it cost.
The QED and the SBD (which are better) are for a full kit. Its just for information purposes showing the stuff thats needed and that the TB are equivalent to the one...
Also the taper TB kit for the XE engine from SBD is:-
TP208 kit with coil pack £1,670.71 inc their ECU.
