This belongs to a bloke I used to know.. he spent his house deposit buying it, and hasn't appeared to of ever sold it! Lovely car, a bit too scene for me though!

Is it an 8?

Thats a 9... 8's finished production 2004/2005. Defo a bit too scene, im all about OEM really so would rather drive a 1.2 fiesta than that thing

 

[cat171]

Dat tyre stretch! Have a word!!!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah that's a 9 and a bit too bling for me

 

[Djw John]

@Djw Dave's is hiding in my garage just now, he was going to put pics up but he's a tech simpleton so I'll just put this sneak peek up for now.

Any chance they're 17x8.5 ET30?

 

[Djw John]

Defo 17" but that's all I know. Maybe dave will know off the top of his head.

 

[Djw John]

f**king love this car

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah, White 6 would be my choice if not for an 8-9. Just finding a good one is the problem with prices going up.

Be interesting to see what happens to ours in terms of value over the next year or so...

They won't crash just yet, keep in mind you could get a XI FQ360 not too long ago for about 11k lol. Now they're worth twice that. They'll never be as collectable as the T Maks, but then that whole saga has put me off those cars. Besides the heritage, there's nothing that great about them over other models.

I nearly bought a really tidy red TME when i got my 5, it would be worth 40k now if id bought and kept it

 

[Silent_Scone]

hindsight, eh

 

[Silent_Scone]

On the subject of IV's

Actually, the 9 is on there too.

[Darren S]

Good effort. I hope the next buyer actually uses it though....

[Silent_Scone]

lol, f**k.

Put 80 miles on mine today. Call the cops.

 

[Djw John]

Just the interior and glass left to go and it's ready for the show on Sunday.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Wondering if I can get away with owning two Evos

 

[Djw John]

I've told him that if he leaves it here much longer then I'll be owning one!

 

[Gaz85]

Haha John after us cleaning it I really want one again! Must stop looking

 

[Djw John]

Just do it. But if you do you should drive yours.

 

[Kchristmas]

Anyone else seen the evo 9 in America with 9 miles on the clock?

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah look up

 

[Kchristmas]

Yeah look up :wink:

s**t yeah my bad! Regardless of the mileage with it being 11 years old It must surely need new tyres, cambelt, servicing etc to fetch if upto scratch?

Very much want those wheels!

Yeah you'd be well out of pocket put it that way. It'll end up as a museum piece like a few have.

I'll leave this as a wee teaser though

Evo V at Cleanfest 2017 by john.holligan, on Flickr

 

[Silent_Scone]

replied in the other thread, looks really clean


On a tangent, that Evo IX in Cally is up at 132k now lol.

f**king Megane engine in an Evo (potentially). It's like going full circle. Can't get away from Renault no matter where I turn, even on the other side of the world :smiley:

 

[Silent_Scone]

Intercooler purchased as well as piping kit, OE one is fine, just looking a little tired.

Nice mate, costly?? I'm going to whip my front bumper off soon and give it all a good clean behind as it too looks a bit grubby and tired!

Gonna do the same this winter when the gritters show themselves.

I fancy redoing all the mesh etc.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah. Need to spray my mesh again.

With the piping kit, just north of £800

 

[Silent_Scone]

And so it begins.

 

[MarkX]

After 9 years of chucking money at Evos, I recently sold both of mine, happy and sad in equal measures but it was time to be slightly more sensible and have a life! :grimacing: V took a few weeks to sell, X sold on pistonheads in less than 2 hours at full asking price!

I'm surprised that turbo will make 400hp mate.

 

[Silent_Scone]

I'm surprised that turbo will make 400hp mate.

Think even the ones on stock cores can make about 430 ish. Don't forget it's only an Evo 9 turbo at heart mate. Not looking for big numbers, just clean bill of health with a new strong turbo. That said you're right to a degree it wouldn't be much good beyond 400 but then you're looking at strengthening the bottom end. I think there's a couple running them forged at 2.5 bar

2.5 bar is for hero's mate. [emoji106] my standard VF34 on it's 46mm compressor wheel was only any good for around 330/340hp at 1.5bar and the turbo looks the same as what you've just bought.

That's why I was a little shocked that it could make 400hp on an evo mate.

Yeah that's on a worked over engine, I'm not looking at going anywhere near that much pressure :smiley: lol. Around 1.6 to 1.7 I'd imagine. Honestly, it was more because the one on the car was seemingly a little tired and not to mention Evo 6 GSR, so it's just getting to a point where nothing is holding the car back. In actual fact this turbo is more than I really need, it'll be mapped a little conservative. I'll speak with Dynotech at the end of the month when the car goes in. Truth be told I've not a scooby how the drivability will change, but these are known to give good torque lower down.

EDIT: This is one is a 68mm compressor wheel FYI
