PF nub looking for a new dump. Evo V.

[Paul.S]

Good thanks PF cunts.
For the fast couple hours, I've been pondering where to document the progress of the new car, but more importantly, who will score me with magic interweb points. In the past, i've chosen JDMST to post, but now that place is full of delicate nubs more interested in comparing their eight-billion megapixel Nikons than actually most things automotively related, except their meets where cunts stand around with other cunts they see every other weekend.

Anyway, story goes i've been obsessed with these things since probably when i found out what happens if i rubbed my knob for more than 30 seconds. I'd used to detour on the way to school via the newsagent to grab a copy of UniqueCars just to quickly flick through the pages, straight past the prancing stallions and see a tiny ad in the corner from Edward Lees listing 45k+ for Evo VIs. I'd then take above magazine and rub knob for another 30 seconds and my menstrual cycle continued. Life was bliss as a 13 year old.

Fast forward almost a decade, and after some pretty gay ass cars, i decided it was time to get me into something i've wanted from said day.

The car hunting started, and weeks turned to months quickly, purely because the market was full of rubbish and cunts asking top dollar. Dealers, importers, private sellers, they're all fucked.

Finally came across an Evo 5, "just landed" organised a drive, yadda yadda, deposit down. Picked it up a few weeks later once the compliance plates came in.

On pickup, queer as ARC spats, TE37s, and the ride height of an A380.



Current Mods include:
- Enkei RPF1s. 17x9 +22
- BC Inverted Coilovers 8kgF-6kgR
- Boost Pill removed, 1.2Bar.









On first impressions, its fast, even faster when turns are involved, but the shit ass fucking turning circle already gives me the shits.

In true PF form, you will notice lack of skid pics. This is due to the banana peel properties of the standard clutch plate..

Have got a few things planned and ready to go, just need the time/motivation to work on it.

Ta, Paul.

You can make up for this by posting pic's of your missus, otherwise good first post.

[fantapants]

love it. not enough tits though

[demuire]

Awesome, I've always wanted one (well, a VI, but I wouldn't say no to a V either), and still want one. Preferably in white like this one, unless it's a VI TME, in which case, red.

[nash]

nice one

[Evo_Lee]

When I realized they were now able to be imported under SEVS, I though to myself shit now they will be everywhere.
But good to finally have another on this board.

Welcome to PF, I just realized I have owned mine for 11 years now.

[Fondles]

What's an "ARC Spat" ?

Welcome BTW.

[Paul.S]

Cheers gents, no pics of nopics though.

Yeah, Evo's in general have lost their exclusiveness ever since they became so cheap. Its a shame really, because now its not just the pure enthusiast that owns them, but any shitcunt that would previously buy a WRX with no mechanical sympathy. The shifty dealers caught on,started bringing in sub par quality, performing dodgy repairs, and the rest is history.

What's an "ARC Spat" ?

Those plastic things on the front bar that produce dangerous levels of downforce to the front end

[Marv]

That looks fucking awesome.

I need to get my hands on a set of Enkei RPF01s

[bv]

fuck yeah. good on you for knowing what you like and then getting it. looks great.

about the only thing i like more than an evo 5 is an evo 6

[Sebstar]

Why did you get this over a tommi maks? The price premium a TME commands?

Still, white on white is hot (even though you got rid of em)

[LINCOLN]

V cool.

Want one one day!

Honestly, while cost was sort of a factor, i've never really wanted a TME. The additional cashish needed can be spent on turbo etc and make the factory features defunct anyway. Also, i hate red interiors

Interesting to note, the TME front suspension geometry returned back to how the 5's were setup after a change in the 6 GSR models.

Originally i set out to pick up a 7, but after driving a couple, they felt a bit too cushy. Don't get me wrong, they do everything the 5 does plus more, but they just felt soft, and a little too easy to drive near the limit.

Coming from a 4g63 Satria, the 5 is very similar in terms of rawness. The way it changes gears, the direct steering feel, the power delivery, its just an outright blast to pilot.

The white wheels have been retired to track duties.

[Duncan1]

From a fellow Evo owner well done mate. Good looking car. Love the enkei's.
Was going to get a set recently but 4 sets of wheels is overkill!
Get it out to the track for some sprints then you will really fall in love!

Edit: what are your plans for the car mod wise?

[Evo_Lee]

Paul. S, yeah like you when I bought mine back in 2000 the VI was out and the VII was just released. Was going to get the VII new at the time but decided to instead save the money and look for a mint V. Did the research and found there is very little different between the V and VI and since I was going to modify the car it makes no difference.
Plus at the time JUN had the cool Super Lemon Evo based off a V platform, like any early twenties year old at the time it was the inspiration behind my purchase .

Coming from a 4g63 Satria,

tell me more. Always was a fan of those, especially the evo 3 awd conversions those crazy fucks in Malaysia did!

[pedro]

looks sharp.
i was always fond of the 4/5/6 until ssv and other cunts started making replica kits for cars (not just mitusbishis)

[Paul.S]

tell me more. Always was a fan of those, especially the evo 3 awd conversions those crazy fucks in Malaysia did!

Shitbox was stripped to a bare shell, painted inside and out. Was in the process of making it an AWD race car with built motor blah blah for superlap/Supersprint, but it would put me in a class my wallet couldn't handle.

Ended up parting it out, and using the coin to pay for insurance on the Evo.

Long motherfucking build thread on JDMST

Looks tits! Nice car mate.
