My Evo VI

[Nick_Leeds]

I like black wheels but on this i'd say keep em white. Plus with the majority thinking it, might be easier to sell on?

Certainly stands out!

 

[Ant1]

Not the best pic but pretty much same alloys ;-)

 

[Stefan.]

Looks turd

 

[Nick_Leeds]

I was waiting for when the 'super clean silver' suggestion would rear its ugly head.

@leeds_182 flol I await 'with a heavy heart' for sale thread for the Evo.

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's an Evo, it doesn't need to stand out any more lol.

Evo life. 84 miles and down to a quarter.

What power is your's running Jim?

Have you ever bothered to work out the mpg mate?
All I know is, they drink fuel like an alcoholic drinks vodka. [emoji23]

 

[imprezaworks]

That was the killer for me, justification of fuel. My previous Impreza was addicted to the stuff.

Red on white looks crap imo.
Black on white looks 'OK'
White on white looks great, imo.

My 8 MR inhales fuel. If you drive sensibly it's not so bad, think I get around 24 to 26. Drive it hard you'll be lucky to see 10.

My mates used to see around 36-42 on a run. You just need to get a standalone ecu and have someone who will run it lean until it starts to det, then bring it back a notch. That's obviously at a cruising speed though!! 70-80mph is where his was mapped to be über economical.

 

[leeds_182]

At less than 3k a year it doesn't really bother me. Plus it's a small tank (that's what I keep telling myself anyway).

I've never dared!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah if you have to calculate mpg it's really not a car for you. Lol

 

[Mr R.]

Yeah if you have to calculate mpg it's really not a car for you. Lol

I just put X amount of fuel in mine and when it's empty I fill it up again. [emoji106]

I have my old van to do the 50 mile round trip to work. [emoji2]

Yeah I can believe that, however an evo isn't really a motorway car lol

 

[leeds_182]

Not getting bored of cleaning it yet.

 

[imprezaworks]

Any pics of after?

 

[cat171]

It looks fantastic now!!

 

[leeds2592]

That looks ace!

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks grand bud, any tuning plans mate?

What are these standard? 260hp?

What's yours running again?

 

[_Tom]

^260? and the rest

Dare I say, I think the wheels need spacing a touch. Not bad manz spacing but looks like 10mm would help.

 

[leeds_182]

280 standard. Mines running 'stage 1' so should be around 350bhp. A set of cams and improved air filter set up should see just short of 400 which would be enough for me.

 

[imprezaworks]

You and @Silent_Scone should meet up and drive slowly everywhere

Job for tomorrow;

Bah, the tank's the size of a thimble anyways!

 

[imprezaworks]

The 7 which I had was worse iirc. Full tank for not much money. Seemed to go quicker than I filled it. Lol. Awesome cars and jims looks a peach

Looks bloody superb in that pic.

 

[imprezaworks]

No Clio though






Looool

 

[leeds_182]

Oil change completed tonight. An impressive 274 miles between changes!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Lol. Nutter. I'm doing my first one in a week or two. Will be 2k since last, its every 4,500 according to RallyArt

Why did you bother?!

 

[leeds_182]

Why did you bother?!

Every 6 months!

Plus I wanted to try out the Fuchs race stuff and see how hard it was. Far easier to change than on the clios!

 

[leeds_182]

Few little changes to the Evo this week.

The car had a terrible set of hids fitted which made everyone flash me constantly so removed those for some osram bulbs.

Also removed the HKS Bov as wasn't my scene;

One of the popular mods is to relocate the battery slightly to allow better air flow to be filter and also run a different filter. This is the set up before. HKS shroom filter aka the 'grit muncher' and battery in standard slot.

Battery removed and relocated with the relocate kit left a lovely patch of visible rust!

Opened the induction kit and the maf adaptor plate was rubbish and it was missing the turbo reducer pipe. Not happy! Luckily my pal had a spare to use for the time being until the replacement arrives. Fitted the filter and this is how it looks. Positioned a lot closer to the front arch for better flow.

 

[leeds_182]

So got to work trying to make the rust look a little better. I scrubbed off the surface rust and treated with krust.

Then it was pikey time so broke out the paint brush and coated the area in etch primer and then a couple of coats of scotia white.

Certainly not the best finish but with the filter back in I think it looks a lot better than rust.

 

[imprezaworks]

Awesome. What's the noise like? I had a hks on the previous Impreza.

 

[leeds_182]

With regards to boost noises, it sounds like a rally car now!

Map tweak next.
