Evening all. Only recently joined but hadn't got round to posting any pics of my car til now. It's an Evo 6 GSR - the car I've always dreamed of owning since I was in my late teens...









And doing what it does best - getting thrown around a track. smile


It's running 390bhp and 390 lb/ft torque @ 1.6 bar boost and has had various bits done to it, the main ones being the engine and turbo from an 8 MR, an 8 RS rear diff, Autronics ECU, Tein coilovers and Performance Friction 2-piece floating discs. Visually it's got a carbon fibre bonnet, Tommi Makinen front bumper and TSL one-piece headlights to make it look a little different to your average GSR. It was always a weekend/track toy but recently it's also become my main runabout, so Tescos shopping trips are now quite amusing. smile

Anyway, I realise it's not everyone's cup of tea but after two years of owning it, I still smile every time I see it. And grin like an idiot when I drive it, which is surely the perfect criteria for a car! smile

Wow.
It's a real credit to yourself. Love how you've reached your dream. It's a real amazing evo. Strangely - and totaly genuinely i st you not- just looking at the 1st pictures i started thinking, evo 6's are the best, in years to come people should swop the engines to the newer engines, all the better power and reliablity wise. Honastly the rays volk, are my favourate rim. And quite unusualy i approve of each and every mod.

Nice - I did the same last year with an Escort Cosworth - always meet your hero. Glad to see you haven't made it look like a taxi (like the rest of the 'rice' scene), and that you actually use it. Top marks!

There was a thread a while back about intimidating cars in your rear view mirror.

Everybody posted their (totally unintimidating) cars, which made me laugh. This would make me cry if I saw it behind me! biggrin

Lovely (and I didn't think I was such a fan of these, really!) Love the wheels!

Sorry to buck the trend but I don't like the wheels - 18s look too big on 5 & 6s IMO - and I don't like the carbon bonnet either. Looks a nice clean car though so a credit to you in that respect.

Thanks. I've always been partial to intimidating looking cars. It's definitely not the prettiest car (although I still think it looks sexy) but it has a nice 'get out of my way' feel to it which I like. Personally, I'm not so keen on the looks of the Evo after the 6 anyway.

Oh, and who says I'm a guy? tongue out

That is absolutely stunning. There are few things more incredible than a white Evo VI. They don't look too bad in black either! biggrin

Definitely the best looking Lancer Evolution of the bunch. Outside of supercars, a Tommi Mak VI is probably my dream car!
