Unfortunately I let go of my beloved 180sx. Their were a few reason's which contributed to me selling up. Having a company van and having a Fn2 type R meant I had access to other transport. Main reason though was that the car was not getting used properly. It was a very hard decision but I felt it was getting to the point I was only taking the car to show's ect and was then being garaged away for 6-8 mths each year. Damn,I never even took the car out in rain.
So,a deal was made with a young chap who wanted to get into the drift scene. I got his evo and managed to keep a few pieces from the Nissan. Main one being my Enkei's which will be sold tomorrow. That will give me the cash to go through my bike license which was another reason for selling up.
So the Evo. As much as I loved the Nissan,I love my Evo's also. I just think they have such road presence and love the way they grip the road. I fully intend to get as much use and fun from this car as possible. This will be used all year round unlike the Nissan.
So the car.
Its a Mitsubishi Evo 5,1998 model and was imported in 2008. It has had an evo 6 engine fitted recently. Apparently the engine has only done 50,000 miles but who knows really as their is no proof. Bodywork,interior and engine bay are all in decent condition. My main concern is the underside which looks pretty good but could be doing with going up on a ramp for full inspection. This will be done on Monday at Auotmek in East Kilbride,Scotland. Modification's look like an aftermarket manifold,blow off valve and induction kit. The car is pretty quick and boost comes in nice and strong.
So,a few pics.....
So,plans for the car. Really to keep it well maintained and as reliable as possible so that I can have as much fun as possible with it. I may concentrate on handling mods and push the power a little.
Engine mods will be Evo 9 turbo,rod bolts,fuel pump,8mr cams and uprated lifters. Standard ecu will be mapped.
So,let the fun begin
