From STI to EVO IX

[-Dan-]

I have decided to do something I never though I ever would and make the move from Subaru to Mitsubishi and after just 2 days what can I say, Its like a completely different animal in ever way possible, so much better and nicer to drive!

Getting a lot of stick from people for being on both sides but stick the middle finger up to them :blush:

Here it is!

 

[MarkCup]

Where is it?

 

[Crybert]

That's lovely that. Back when these came out it was my favourite car bar none

 

[Mr R.]

Very very nice mate, I keep on looking at the 7 RS. [emoji41] [emoji106]

Spec, miles? etc....[emoji2]

 

[-Dan-]

It's an FQ360 with 64k miles 07 plate

Pretty much standard apart from discs and pads, wheels and remap

 

[leeds_182]

Sick.

Lovely mate!!!
Just a shame they are so bloody expensive for what they are. I bet not much change from £20k?

Unfortunately It's not an MR otherwise it would be £20k+

But you'll be surprised what I got it for

 

[Stefan.]

Awesome!!!

 

[JB21]

What's the difference between the MR v non-MR?

 

[-Dan-]

Bit of stitching in the seat and a badge small difference like titanium turbo blades and turini wheels

 

[-Dan-]

Both limited run of 200 only

 

[MarkCup]

Nice! I'm not usually a fan of these but that just looks right.

 

[JB21]

Got you mate, so no important chassis upgrades or trick diffs or anything... not worth the extra ££££'s then really is it.

My old man used to import all the jap stuff until the crazy import charges came into force, he had them all starting from the mk1 up until the 7 or 8. I've always preferred them to the Scoobs. My favorate was the Evo VI Makinen Edition he brought over for a customer...awesome!!!

 

[-Dan-]

The other 2 previous Impreza I've had which I'm comparing the Evo 2

Widetrack blob Sti and hatch Sti

 

[Stay Puft]

Beautiful car.

A friend of a friend has one of these, and it's absolutely amazing apart from shite wheels which he loves.

I'm sure he paid no where near £20k though, a couple of years ago.

 

[imprezaworks]

Stunning

 

[Craig]

Awesome mate. Would love an evo

 

[JamesBryan]

That's gorgeous! :hearteyes:

Give it to me :tonguewink:

 

[Silent_Scone]

Bit of stitching in the seat and a badge small difference like titanium turbo blades and turini wheels

Plus Bilstein shock absorbers, HKS exhaust, cylinderhead improvements, ion coated piston rings, 6 speed gearbox, ally roof panel and wings and a few other differences. Not much...:tongueout:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Always wondered what the differences between MR and non MR cars.

Does the MR package apply to only certain models i'e VIII >

?

This has pretty much all the above though? alloy roof, wings, boot, bonnet, 6 speed box, bil shocks and hks exhaust

 

[-Dan-]

Its quite annoying as its been registered as an MR when it isn't

 

[Feirny]

That's utterly amazing.

 

[MarkX]

Awesome, never understood the taking sides thing, I'm a big fan of both.....although I choose to buy Evos 🙈

 

[Ray Gin]

Awesome, good purchase. If they had the noise of the Impreza they would be perfect.

There's quite a few that claim to be I think. Mitsys fault for making so many variants

I was interested and put a magnet on all the panels to find what they were!

It is a pain in the arse ain't it! Way to many models

Yeah, when I bought my MR I was asking the guy what exhaust it was so I could tell the insurance. Had no idea they came with half the stuff. Yours is definitely an MR roof as it has the lines. Who knows! I didn't even think they did the MR in red (they did)! I gave up trying to keep track of what is what :smiley:.

Does yours have the MR badge on the gear gaiter? To me, it sounds like an MR.

 

[Turbo steve]

They did the MR in red, mine was red MRFQ360

 

[-Dan-]

Confusing isn't it Nope just FQ360 #181

Main dealers know it as an MR, perhaps it's a Frankenstein car mix match parts!

 

[-Dan-]

These things on the roof ?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yes, as I understand it the ridges, and the fact it's aluminium makes that an MR roof. I don't know enough to know what options were available from the dealers. I know someone that will know for sure though, I'll ask - he will likely know straight away what the score is.

PM me the chassis number if you want

 

[-Dan-]

That's what I've read When I get to an Evo meet I'll have a nose around if there are any 360s

Alright bud cheers! I'll dig it out

 

[Silent_Scone]

From what I've read SNCT9A6U is a 9, 7U should be an MR. They're all registered weirdly over here, man. It's a minefield. They all go like stink so it's no real biggy lol

 

[-Dan-]

You'll find it'll have a few recalls but like myself the previous owner don't trust main dealers or garages over much

Mines a nightmare to read, I ain't got the v5 yet just going from chassis plate and I can't make any sense of it

They do indeed go like absolute stink
