Another non dak-dak thread...

So as some of you know I have gone to the dark side and purchased an EVO, was only a matter of time. It was imported into Australia in 2012 with just over 50,000km where it went though two owners, had plenty of money spent modifying and maintaining the car and now is in my hands with roughly 65,000km.


So a few days into EVO ownership and I can report that all is good, there are some things that I miss about a Subaru but I do like the overall feel and feedback from the car. To shakedown the car I took it for a nice cruise down to the Plex to watch Targa and Rally Sprints with a few lads and it was faultless there and back.

I plan on using the car for mainly the sprint series at RAC (if they resume) and McRae rally sprints. I also have a few minor things that need doing on the car:
- Tint; has never had tint, so will book TKO in a few weeks - DONE
- Floor mats; showing their age, will order new ones from Matcraft - DONE
- Tyres; will likely just get 245/40R18 RE003 when the buy 3, 4th free deal happens next - DONE
- Paint Rims; paint the rims gloss black to clean up the look of the car - DONE
- Paint Calipers; typical Evo brake paint fade, que fresh red paint - DONE
- Machine Rotors; slight vibration under hard braking - DONE

Some longterm plans might lead to;
- Whiteline 24mm rear sway bar.
- EVO 9 turbo or GTP712 turbo.
- PLAZMAMAN intercooler hotside piping.
- ORC twin plate.
- E85 flex tune if it becomes readily available.
