Most of the images aren't loading for me - anyone else having the same?

Some are on Flickr some are on Imgur, if you're blocking either of those then it'll struggle.

Are these safe to leave over night on a driveway?

Living where I do, yes in the main. They mostly live indoors though.

I'm going to pad the whole cage, yes.

I do love a white Evo 6 , I had a silver one a few years back, total money pit and ruinously expensive but a lot of fun

Damm that's a gorgeous Evo, love the black detailing on it.
Can't wait to see what you do with the new one.

A mate of mine has just bought that E6 YOB plate, I'm guessing from you.

They haven't been too bad to me, to be fair. I knew what I was getting myself in to.

Yeah I wasn't even going to sell that plate, but Jules said he wanted it and I had no real reason to keep it. The wife thinks the car is yobbish enough!

His looks good, I hope he's going wide body, as per his history!

I had my Evo 6 for about 18 months and sadly it just had every known issue over that time that an Evo can have, including screeching brakes, warped discs, sticking callipers, my AYC pump went, loads more, but what a car!
I only let it go as I went to an R33 GTR.
Mine was more pretty looking, it went well and looked nice, but was never hardcore and only around 350bhp.

I still would like a 7/8/9, maybe one day.

Reims blue has definitely matured on me, I hated it and much preferred Icelle Blue when they first came out.

God this thread makes me miss my 5. Always preferred the shape of the front bumper but it's nitpicking between the 5/6.

That's a nice blurry photo for me!

5/6 were cream of the crop, the very best of Group A road go-ers. And definitely the best of the Evolution franchise.



This is me and a friend of mine, at Silverstone late 2019, for my older Evo's swansong.

A few videos from the archives too...

1. Here's how it goes round Silverstone Arena in a cold, mildly-moist, November.

2. Similarly with Donington, in cold, dry March.

I love the Evo cars, the 6 is my favourite by far but would be partial to a 6/7/8 or 9! Your car is beautiful, fair play to you sir.

I ticked the Impreza box (twice!) but need to do the Evo thing at some point....

Love the evo5-6 , amazing cars. I had a full t45 caged evo1 with 400 bhp and full adjustable suspension arms. Less than 1100kg.
I sold it back in 2009 but i think its still about. It was last mot'd in 2013.

Found my for sale thread.

They are very different vehicles! (No hate here) A friend of mine has a 22B, and it's one of my favourite cars.

A bit more serious than mine!

I've just swapped over my Carbing strut brace to replace the Tein one that came with the new car...



I might tidy the bay up, but I'm not sure it's worth it given the heat it's going to be subjected to. It's not bad under there.

[adam.]

With the old car away having some nice bits taken off it, and some brief sunshine coming out on Sunday I threw some tax at the new one and took it for a spin.

First 30 miles since buying the thing in November.

Felt amazing, and totally different to the old one. The new one has an RS turbo with ball bearings etc, and it spools so much faster than the old car.



I’ve also done some little things, like a sun strip, some interior pieces back in, can’t wait for some more dry weather and some track time.

[NGRhodes]

My friend had one for many years. Lightly fettled. Was cheaper on fuel to tow by van to track days than drive.

[Killer2005]

Well that is lovely. Well done sir.
