New car Evo content

[Djw Dave]

Not an update just some new pics.

Had Gaz give it a good clean whilst I poked his cup the other week. Prior to a Jap show at Knockhill.

Parked it up next to Fosters mint Rs and Reece's mad Black V. Made me realise I really need to get stuck into mines. Hoping to sort a new car out soon so I don't need to use the Evo daily.

Nice line up! I've started riding into work for now so I don't have to drive it every day, but I end up driving it during the week sometimes anyway as I love it so much :smiley:

Well not exactly a new car to him anymore but it looks a fair bit different, shame photobucket has ruined the thread but here's some from todays show, Cleanfest at Glenrothes Airport (who knew?!). Partially as prep but mostly cos it was going to happen in time anyway @Djw Dave has been pretty busy getting the car ready. In the last few months its had a wheel refurb, all the grills and intercooler painted black, aircon removed, rear bumper, side skirts and spoiler blade all painted. And then over the course of about 4/5 nights in the last fortnight we've cleaned, polished, waxed etc etc with @Gaz85 helping out too.

The result was that he won a trophy and prize in the "Top 5 Runway" category which he's obviously pretty pleased with, makes the cleaning worthwhile. Especially good as its quite a "VW on bags" kinda show, defo the highest prize winner! Anyway, enough chat, time for some pics.

It's fine, it's not even a Tommy Mak anyway, heap

Spoiler: :D

Who knows might get him to post

Wheel colour doesn't match the body, 7/10.

Get 'em sold.





To me.

 

[Djw Dave]

Thanks for all the feedback.

Had a good time up at CF despite the weather.

Couldn't have done it without John donating his garage and time for weeks previously. Car looks the best it's ever been.

I'd like to try a set of comp Mo 6 on for a change. Although the wheels suit it perfectly as is.

It's not even an Evo. Just a GL rep

May as well be the way it's driven for 99% of the time.

Dibs if you ever consider selling, please. :blush:

You are right John.

 

[yeecup]

Awesome machine. Looks epic.

Ps is the White ph1 u bought off me still going strong?

Did you just nip in for a quick bite a McDonalds just now? @Djw Dave

I popped into Newbridge McD's for a pee and a cheese burger after the truckfest.

 

[Djw Dave]

It is not no. Well not with us anyway.

My uncle hashed it and bashed it then sold it for £100. Shame

That was about the time we met before going into truckfest.

 

[Djw John]

It saw daylight this weekend so I quickly took a couple of pics to commerate/prove that @Djw Dave hasn't forgotten that he owns it

Is that a Harlequin Mk3 Passat in the background of pic one..?

 

[Djw John]

Yup sure was.

 

[_Tom]

So so nice.

 

[cat171]

I love it! The Evo, not the Harlequin Passat ?

 

[Djw John]

Took these on the phone too. Not sure if Dave took any ?

 

[adamlstr]

Jealous of the paint, noice.

 

[Djw Dave]

Silly car gets next to no use. It’s a shame. I’m going to advertise it soon, but I think I’ve missed the boat timing wise. It’ll likely spend another winter in the garage and I’ll attempt to sell it in the summer 2019.

I’ve replaced the knocking coil overs with some second hand recon’d Bilistein units, the ride has been greatly improved.

Big mileage in 16months.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Lol that’s worse than me. Had to go, was burning a hole in my pocket storing it and I spent a fortune on it and never got time to drive it.

 

[yeecup]

I need to start saving.........

 

[Djw Dave]

I need to start saving.........

Buy now. Pay (slightly) later ?‍♂️

It seems to be the way with Evos, most seem to turn into ‘investment’ cars and barely turn a wheel month to month.

I had the chance to have it out all last weekend. But decided to potter about in the Clio. I think that’s when I made my mind up that it’s time to sell.

 

[McGherkin]

I hate Evos, as a Subaru guy. But annoyingly I seem to be falling in love with these.
