My Trusty Steed

[*Kosta*]

Don't think i've posted this yet, but i have now owned it 12 months...







2003 Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ300 with the following upgrades:

FQ330 Piggyback ECU & Actuator upgrade
JR Air Filter
Decat

To me, even after 12 months it feels insanely quick. It loves nothing better than a good B road blast at weekend!

Most reliable car i've ever owned! It is now on 47k and i love it.

In 15k miles since purchase all i have had to do is the following:

3x Services
1x Clutch (The original clutch from new lasted until 45k - almost unheard of with these cars!)
Lots of tanks of fuel!
Driveshaft Seal (Warranty Work)

This year it will need some new Discs and a new set of boots

I took it to Le Mans in 2008, and will be there again this year. Also off the the IOM in March for a 'Play'.

Nice. Looks best dirty for some reason

3x services in 15k!

Service intervals are 4500 miles

Worth it though!!

I reckon it looks better dirty too, however the roof is going pink!

Looks good. Is the first pic the Evo Triangle, and the second in the Yorkshire Dales/Moors? I definitely recognise the viaduct and maybe the other one - if so, I've been to both places

Well done! Pics 1 & 3 - The Triangle, Pic 2 - Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire.

I like to get about a bit in it!

Lovely evo, not seen one in red before, some nice anthracite wheels might set it off quite nicely!

Brilliant mate - how does it compare to your green goddess coloured Focus?

I love the colour and the overall look of this car - not seen you around for a while though!

I've had a Mini Cooper Works inbetween.

I do miss the indestructability of the diseasel Focus though!

Didn't you see me in this on the M6 mate?
