Carvon fibre pedals ftw. Yes I was still in my work gear but he insisted. The fucker has been using the ashtray too.
The asian Bradford garage he bought it from had loads of supercars in it.

Re: What did you do today?
It maybe quick but fuck me is that interior grim. No wonder fast and powerful German brands pretty much killed off the Evo and Impreza. £50k retail back in the day. Similar to an E90 M3 which a FQ400 should annihilate but the M3 is going to be a far nicer place to be sat for the same money.

Re: What did you do today?
I wasn't paying much attention to the interior tbf. I didn't even touch the radio or heater. Loads of hks stuff under the bonnet. Not sure if that's standard.
Anyway you don't look at the mantlepiece when you're poking the fire.

All you need to do is send out some invoices....paulplom wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 3:30 pm My favourite yet this one. Completely civilised you can barely hear the engine at tick over and bumbling along it's just like any other saloon. Very quiet with compliant suspension. No rattles and silent inside.
Put your foot down though and it's rediculous. Faster than both porsches and the grip is tremendous. The exhaust must be standard as it's not loud at all. I though the gearing was a bit short till I saw I was at 60mph in 2nd. It didn't seem like that speed at all. Super quick steering too. 12k service intervals and 8.2k till the next one.
Mega want.

Re: What did you do today?
Those evos are a bit crap and a one trick pony, a good mate bought one to replace an M3 and kept it a month, stupid small fuel tank, unrefined 2.0 lump, flat off boost with a 90's interior, you really really have to want one, he bought an M4 comp instead which was a squillion times better.

Re: What did you do today?
What's unrefined about the 2.0? This wasn't harsh at all and was just about silent at tickover. It was totally refined imo.
