2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 MR

[dingo]

Neither Ecuflash or Ecutek - its a new local company that is doing retunes of WRXs/Evos.

At this stage its only Perth cars that can get this service.

Will keep you posted.

A few mates and I organised a trackday yesterday, couple of pics and some onboard video footage from my car.

Amazingly effective on a track, and alot better than the WRX was - very impressed. And remember this was on street rubber (I had slicks for the WRX) and with no performance mods.

Exhaust, tune and maybe cams should happen in the next couple of weeks.

VIDEO (A bit of sideways action at 1:07 and especially 2:21)

Sweeet looking Evo Dingo mate!!!! Only turbo I got at moment is Mazda BT50 ute hehehehe...

How did ya go seeing ya rex get punted around not by you?

[gis]

Nice vid mate.the evo sure looks stable around those corners

[dingo]

spanky - yeah it was weird, kinda sad in a way too! I saw it driving on the street the other day which was even more surreal.

dani - yeah my drivers side window was down (too hot with helmet, 30C and long pants/shirt) hence the noise.

Sideways action? I only saw understeer

You've got to start throwing the car into the turn and let the electronics sort everything out for ya.

That track looks like it would be a blast in a shifter kart.

The wheels were full lock to the right and I went left across the track....trust me it wasn't understeer, very rare to get understeer in the Evo.

Remember, first time out with this car - I didn't know its limits so obviously didn't push it as hard as i could've.

Easy to talk about it on the net obviously, different thing to get out there and put it into practice.

Yeah I didn't mean any disrespect by that comment at all, I'm actually surprised you are already taking your new car to the track for some thrashing. Although, I don't think I (or anyone) would want to wait either.

sorry dingo, but from the video it does seem like some understeer. I'm sure it felt different from the seat of the pants, but there was no opposite lock...

Anywho, nice vid. It seems like your having alot of fun with the car, and you are being nice to it as well. I expected to see you beating it to death, but you were gentle with the clutch, throttle, and you wernt buzzing the piss outta the motor. Very cool :good:

Got my rims powdercoated this week - just a fan of black wheels (looks stealthy and race-spec IMO).

With the dark tint and rear wing also black I think its a nice look.

Also added the black plates MU 53 WA = AW35UM backwards. (had to end in WA and have 2 letters/2 numbers)

[Erez]

looking good there 8) I like the plates too

[spanky]

Looks good dingo mate!!!! 8)

[MIHALS]

scooby looked better, but this one looks badass too

nice one dingo :good:

[gis]

Lookin good mate

so whens the exhaust coming? lol

[dingo]

Exhaust is ordered, but because of the public holiday (all week long) in Japan (I bought direct) they haven't sent it yet. So Im hoping with 1-2 weeks its fitted and retuned.
