My Evo5 - long story so far

Horrid mate !!!

Just joking, one of the nicest Evos I have seen.

I am starting to really like the 4s and 5s more then the later models.

Wheels suit the car perfectly.

Glad you have stuck at it with the car, we all have problems (even Ben!!!) but when they are running perfectly again they make it all worthwhile.

Hope to see you at one of the meets.

Cheers guys for the comments, when I first got the wheels and put them on I wasn't 100% convinced (it was dark), but they have really grown on me over the last few days and really like them.

Lee, probably not going to be able to make it to Donny, but will have another think about it. I see your going, so IS THE CAR RUNNING?? Are you going to the rolling road day??? Really want to get some figures for the car now!.

Got the car booked into RG Motorsport next week to have the AYC sorted and he's going to tweak the map to get a bit more out of it since a few more of the mods. But touch wood it's running well at the moment

A Corrado VR6 tried to have a play the day after the 30-130 day, on the A10 out of Ely, put some of the grunt into perspective!! :lol: bye see ya later!!

Gareth.

Not updated for a long time, so thought I'd give a quick update.

Recently fitted a RossSport exhaust manifold, Tein Monoblock shocks with EDFC. Some work has been spent on the induction, home made heat shield and mounting for the air filter etc.

Have got some hotter cams and vernier pulleys to go on, but time/money has stopped that for the moment. But will get that sorted as soon as I can.

Car did produce 305 Bhp/wheels on APT rollers last year, still will be interested to see the difference the manifold and cams make.

Anyway, here's a few more recent pics :-

Looks great mate, theres something about the earlier Evos that I love. Maybe its the rawness of them.

Some superb photos there also.

Nice, what cams have you got to go in Gareth and what have you in there at the moment.

I had 264's fitted (HKS) and Vernier Pulleys and it made a huge difference up the rev range, pulls loads harder to the redline now :-D

Hi Logan,

The engine is an MR, so has the MR cams, but I've got a pair of GSC S2's to go in, probably a bit wild, but worth a go.

Gareth.
