MilanoChris' Evo IX

[Chris.]

Lee, it's pretty nippy now. :lol: Des came out on the test drive and he noted that it feels quicker than his Evo 5 (they aren't slow by any stretch). I'm going to a Rolling Road day next month, though it's already been on the same rollers:

I've no idea if Powerstation reads low or high though.

So glad that that numberplate isn't yours; fvcking RAD :lol:

"Hello, yeah, the 80's want their gay terminology back"...

 

[Chris.]

The numberplate is the current owners initials.

 

[Chris.]

All picked up and back home now.

^ At its second home. :lol:

Looks very well indeed

 

[Mark Type R]

Nice

 

[Loxy]

Very nice bud. :smt023

 

[CJN]

Nice one. I'll be impressed if by this time next year you still have it.

 

[NYA]

As I said on FB Chris, looking good, Des' looks great too with the darker wheels.

LOL @ Powerstation rollers.

Those will be the ones that had a stock FD2 pegged at just under 240hp then. :lol:

 

[Chris.]

Front looks very high compared to the back (looking at the gap in the wheel arches). Is it just the camera angle?

Is that Des' Evo in the background? I like the wheels.

There were three alloys in the boot plus a loads of oils. Evo's generally sit higher at the front as well so it probably added to that effect.

 

[Cosmic_Chi]

Whats the fuel tank size and what MPG you getting on town driving vs quicker driving? I only ask as i want to know running costs on one of these

 

[Chris.]

I think it's 50 litres. I've done 150 miles so far and the needle is sat just above the half way mark. Mileage has been a mix of motorway, town and b road driving.

 

[dessimpson]

Once the needle goes past 3/4, it goes down pretty rapidly.

 

[Stoo.]

You mean 3/4,000 rpm right?

 

[dotty]

No he means the gauge :lol:

Get used to filling every 170-210 miles (roughly)

 

[Stoo.]

I know. . Noob

 

[Chris.]

You mean 3/4,000 rpm right?

The kick in the back comes around 3k rpm. It's nice being able to overtake without dropping two cogs. 4th is insane at most speeds, the acceleration is savage. Love it.

 

[Mark Type R]

People always worry about fuel with Evo's. Wait till something goes wrong, that's the expensive bit.
