Nice one Darren, certainly looks superb mate Cant wait to see and hear the vid

A friend emailed me this, Swashbuckle's "Cruiseship Terror", rather good i thought ... Left Click Pirates rock !!!!

Looks fantastic Darren, good choice Im so pleased youre enjiying the car the way it should be enjoyed and youve made it your own. Great pics too mate

Hey Darren, thanks for the kind words mate The Evo really is an awesome piece of machinery, but nowhere near as good looking as the Zed Glad to hear youre enjoying and looking after 'our' car so well, cant wait to see the pics of new Volks fitted A Zed/Evo photoshoot sounds like fun mate

Haha like it Im in Brixham

Cheers all Milage is quite low i suppose, just turned 30k. I still have a trackday voucher for Castle Combe race track which i was hoping to take the Zed to, but never got the chance, so looks like the Evo will get a session or 5

Cheers Totally different to the Zed, the Zed was beautifully balanced and almost relaxing to drive in comparison to the Evo. It goes like it looks....drives like a go-kart, awesome levels of grip, handling and pace, take whatever you throw at it and still gets you round the corner. Loads of room inside for practicality, but it isnt beautiful to look at like the Zed. Swings and roundabouts, but i can honestly say i was a RWD man for over 10years and didnt think id like 4WD, but im definately impressed

Well, i picked the car up a couple of weeks ago and ive finally got the car the way i want it for the moment, with my DVD Headunit fitted during the week along with my nav setup. Big thanks to Sean at AP Motors (Plymouth) yet again for a top notch job with the install I also fitted my Ralliart half leather interior last week so inside the car is that little bit classier Im not 100% happy with the paint on the car after i polished it, so Steve at Pure Valeting will be getting the car in the very near future to do a full correction which will hopefully give the paint a bit more depth and clarity. The only other addition will be a c/f lip spoiler to make the front end a bit meaner So, heres the Zeds replacement, my 05 Mitsubishi Evolution 8MR FQ320, hope you like

Great thread I started in 1990 with my first car, a Triumph Acclaim 1300HL, i can feel the jealousy That lasted me 5 years after which i traded it in for a J plate Honda Civic Saloon....no pics of either as they were very dull. I saw sense after a couple of years with the Honda and traded it in for this... Was standard when i bought it and slowly modded it into the above. Owned it for 6 years and it was a fantastic car. Sold the MR2 to buy my Skyline... Spent a consider ammount of money on it taking it to 406bhp, was a fantastic car and owned it for almost 4years. Sold the Skyline to buy the Zed.... Only had the pleasure of owning the Zed for around 18months and sold recently due to having a baby on the way and needing 4 doors and more than 2 seats and bought this last week to replace it... Mitsubishi Evo 8MR FQ320, an awesome piece of kit which will hopefully stay with me for a few years and give me alot of fun... And thats it so far

Picked it up tonight and wow, what a car !!! I honestly think im a converted man, the performance, handling and fun factor is just fantastic If only it was half as good looking as the Zed, but you cant have everything Will try and get on it and give it a good polish up over the weekend and get some pics up

Haha, yeah its not as pretty as the Blue for sure, although being Gun Metal im hoping it will still look clean even when its dirty....meaning i actually spend more time driving it than polishing it, unlike the Zed

Cheers Trev Now a fully paid up MLR member too

Haha Im not proud...i'll take all the help i can get thanks !! First 4wd car for me though, be an interesting change after the last 3 cars being RWD

As some may have read in another thread, ive finally found the right Evo to replace the Zed, 05 plate Mitsubishi Evo 8MR FQ320 Gunmetal, completely standard,managed to negotiate a fantastic price as i want to upgrade the interior to the full Ralliart half leather, which ive also sourced now Should hopefully be picking it up this week. I'll get it all polished up before posting pics hopefully at the weekend, cant wait Nowhere near as pretty as the Zed, but by christ it shifts !!

Looks fantastic Darren Glad to see youre enjoying the car mate, and very pleased to hear youre cleaning it obsesively !! Look forward to see you making the car your own Cheers Dave
