My Evo 5 - Pic Heavy

[Ben_Stevo172]

Havnt been on here for a while, but since my old car went up for sale I've been on quite often recently. Thought I'd post a few recent pics of my Evo 5 and see what you guys think. She's running 400bhp and 390lbft at the mo and just gone to have an Exedy twin plate clutch fitted! £1600! Lol! Here's a few pics:

Few under bonnet shots - although now it's slightly different:

Tough, but can't help feeling some Bronze JDM rims would finish it off.

 

[gardner51]

Mint! looks Epic, bet its fun when that boost kicks in!

Ellz

 

[Gareth]

looks a bit too drug dealer for my liking, but looks in good nick

 

[Silent_Scone]

That is bang tidy for a 5, well done mate.

 

[.GAZ.]

5's are the daddies.

 

[T.Trophy]

Looking good Ben, I actually spotted you a while back, you were utilizing the acceleration of your car at the time LoL

 

[Rich_172]

Awesome mate. Looks great on the superleggeras aswell

 

[Jon.G]

Not sure on the 'leggeras myself, but other than that very tidy!

 

[silentsnake]

Looks mint, I love it tbh

A bit like these? (my winter wheels)

I like the 5s... the Superleggeras have a crap offset though! Almost makes it look like a Carisma with a bodykit!

 

[Triki]

Was the last registered keeper from Oxfordshire area ? Sure i know that car from somewhere.

Looks sweet either way !

 

[hughesclio]

very nice ben, still tidy as ever mate, how come its been over to racing line and not back to pauls?

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

It was at an MLR rolling road day at TRL. It will be having a run on Pauls dyno on 23rd May when he maps my mates Evo.

Lol! They look far better in the flesh, pics don't do em justice at all!

Hereford mate, it had covered 1800miles in the 4 years he owned it so chances are it isn't the same one! Lol. Also when I bought it the car was 100% as it came out of the factory too.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Looks great.

Has anybody seen Bens videos on YouTube of him in his 5. Shall we say it takes some abuse!!! Good lad!

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Haha! The donughts! Crazy!

 

[RSteve]

Love that mate, looks evil, however prefer the winter wheels over the ones on now.

 

[Kane.]

Really like that.

 

[Christopher]

V's are awesome.

SL's look toss on it though. Weak offset makes it look like a replica. lol.

 

[jesus]

Love this one!

 

[Gally]

Looks decent mate, is it used often?

Reliable?

 

[Gaz.]

Jealous

 

[Dunn]

Looks awesome in white

5's are my fav. Looks lovely but I'll echo what's been said about the wheels.

What's the spec to get to 400? Or 398 shall I say.. haha

 

[Sargara]

I know nothing about Evos or the SLs but when i saw the photos i immediately thought "needs spacers". It was only after reading the other comments that its because of the alloys you have fitted. I agree with the other comments that it makes it look like a bodykit and the wheels arent flush

 

[midge]

Even the standard wheels on a 5 sit in like that, wider track on the evo 6, i *think* the 5's track is just a tiny bit wider than the 4 which doesnt have the flared arch's

 

[Adam-o]

Love the evo's!

Well mine has full 3" exhaust from turbo back Inc decat, walbro fuelpump, uprated actuator, blitz boost controller, remap, g-reddy air filter, HKS induction pipe, ralliart HT leads and coils, stock TD05 turbo running @ 1.7bar

Even the standard wheels on a 5 sit in like that, wider track on the evo 6, i *think* the 5's track is just a tiny bit wider than the 4 which doesnt have the flared arch's

The 4 has the same shell as the 5 and 6 but the 5 and 6 have a wider track, 5 and 6 have exactly the same arches and everything, all that's different is the tailgate, spoiler and front bumper.

The standard 5 and 6 alloys don't fill the arches that is why people put 9" wide wheels on which does fill the arch properly.

My wheels are just 19x8.0 so there the common fitment.

 

[Addz]

lovely looking car, probably the best looking of the evo's

 

[Jimbo_M]

Lovely 5 dude

How wide they are doesn't make as much difference as the offset.

Your wheels have an offset that's too high. That's why they sit inboard of the rear arches and look a bit weird.

 

[Munson]

Awesome machine. Wheels look rubbish and it needs some decent brakes.

Put the winter wheels on and keep them on. Fin.

 

[midge]

I know a 5 and 6 have the same arch's, the 5 has a wider track than the 4 by 10mm.

 

[Brett]

Really nice that. How does it compare to the SC Clio?

 

[Darren S]

The winter wheels would be my preference year round.

But that said, your Evo looks superb m8 - in the best colour too! What fuel pump are you running at the minute?

[Bluebeard]

CS never ceases to amaze me. The guys got a proper tidy good looking car that is really quick and all everyone is bleating on about is how it looks s**t because of the wheel offset.

I don't think people are whinging that much, Superfast. They are probably just a bit vocal in their opinions - lol.

Anyways, when's your next Evo arriving???
