Danny Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Thats looks nothing like craig :P As for the evo....

So how come the BMW M6 can do 208mph, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and still be a two ton saloon with no spoiler and no stupid vents and holes and silly mesh grills? :blink: And I presume the stickers are there for aerodynics too?

MadManMike Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 It looks shit but I see what he means, the bumper houses the intercooler, the bonnet vents let more air to the engine.. but yeah, still looks awful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ruined Evo ← because the BMW has a monster of an engine and is a totally different shape. the evo has a 2ltr turbo. and is the shape of a house brick. you seem like such a boring person.

dave85 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Is that the exhaust sticking out in front of the nearside front wheel? :blink: And the evo is going to need LOTS of air moving around, hence the bodywork. 500 brake out of 5 litres is sod all compared to 750 out of 2......

Why not just use a bigger engine? When topgear tried the Evo that was squeezing just 400bhp out of the 2 litres, they said there was so much turbo lag, and it needed servicing every 4000 miles so it just wasnt worth it. Squeezing all that power out of it must be so unreliable and make the engine very unstable. Im not boring, I'm just in a place where in a few years I will be looking around for a car similar (the wife is liking the vauxhall vx220) and i would prefer serious options rather than stupid looking heaps of multi coloured plastic like that... :blink: And if you want a gorgeous car, check out the Alfa Romeo Brera... or a an Aston Martin V8 Vantage... those are beautiful cars...

JTM Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Theres no reason for it to look that shit at all, have a search for the Norris designs evo, 0-60 2.8sec and 204mph, and oooo it looks standard......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 225mph :blink: Is it the ralliart one?? Because the ralliart one is the fastest in europe and doesnt go near that speed (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. So why mod one instead of getting a car that can comfortably put out that power? Surely Ralliart have tuned the Evo to the most that they think is safe for the engine in a road legal car, and if you want any more, just to buy a bigger engined car? I really don't understand car modding on this scale, why would someone strap wings and a jet engine to a bicycle and look a fool when they can just buy a plane? I know some people do it for a hobby, but the plastic and stickers... really, no. Its just not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralliart are constricted by the construction and use regulations in this country, and also by the fact they dont want warranty returns every day, so they tune the cars sensibly, same as prodrive do for the scooby-do's. I'd be proud of that car if i'd built it, since when does it matter what it looks like from the outside if you built it to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was heavily into modded cars, only they were vintage cars, so it has a name. Car restoration. It the same, except that is totally accepted. He has an 05 focus, yet still prefers to rebuild a 1953 triumph. It is a hobby. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just think how much money was spent on that car, and what it could have been spent on!? I personnally, would love a TVR, unreliability and everything, because I prefer the driving side of cars. I can see where your coming from, and all I can think of is that this person prefers the maintenance side of cars, the satisfaction of making all those horses gallop out of such a small box.

tipsy Jock Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I think its a great looking car, There aren't many cars out there that can beat the performance of an evo or scooby. Think of the handling as well as engine power, its a car built purely for performance but is also quite practical. And with the fuel economy of a 2.0 engine to boot :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
