good bye

i didnt have time to say goodbye to my enkei wheels since everything happened all too quickly......

sigh i really like them very much....

GOODBYE.....

important gap

oh can you see that minute but important gap that could hold the line between life and death...????

i really need to plug this gap.......

obese..??

this is what i call a FAT EVO...

yeah this is what happens when a mitsubishi evo had too much fast food i.e. burgers and fries haha.....

what works for the lancer, lancer ralliart and evo obviously dun work for the outback...... so it's time to go back to the drawing board.....

OUCH... !

1700 rpm......

that magic number is 1700 rpm........ cos the Golf gives you a super flat torque curve from that number onwards and ....that means ALMOST NO turbo lag.......

in comparison that 4B11T engine in the evo x makes 280 PS at 6,500rpm and 422Nm of torque at 3,500rpm...... while you get 211 PS at 5300 rpm and 280 Nm at 1700-5200 from the GTi.....

you just have to make sure you are in the right gear all the time if u choose the evo x..... if not the GTi will just run away in an instant.......

all for close to S$130,000....................

your choice..???

if only more...

if volkswagen can squeeze 280 to 300 hp from its 2-litre engine, that will really be a wake-up call for the japanese......

right now both the evo x and the sti make 300 hp..... and the latest golf gti makes 211 bhp..... between 211 and 300, there is still a significant gap...... 

although the interim golf v50 makes close to 250 hp, the premium is perhaps too much for customers to come queueing for it....

moreover, the golf is still FWD....... and at the very limits of traction, AWD/4WD is still very much a strength.......

but i do understand the DSG is a potent weapon....... and coupled with auto-blip throttle and spanking new adaptive electronic damping, never never under-estimate the golf ......

when are you coming..???

this is nice ..!!

priced between an evo and the lancer GT is the lancer ralliart, a midrange 4wd turbo-charged lancer for those that arent willing to spend their dough on an evo x....

...... but when is the car coming to singapore????

it will surely eat into the market share for wrx....... 

before it comes, pls lower the ride height ............ please????

raw stuff

hey hey i like this pic.............

especially the brembo brake calipers, ventilated brake discs and suspension system.......

and i always have the impression that brembo calipers on the evo is cool....... until i saw that stuff on a nissan GTR....

haha that is uber cool.....

EVO X

the all new evo X is already on sale in singapore..............good news for the 2.0 litre force-fed brigade



now with the introduction of the dual clutch SST, it is time to buy the evo X........i like the concept of a such a transmission, no clutch lever and yet no power loss......



instant upshifts from paddle lifters.....what else do u want....

the DSG in volkswagen cars are quite mature implementation, so it's good news that mituibishi is putting their version in the evo X....



blue colour is nice......as in other bright options for the evo IX, such as yellow and red....



interior design is quite standard for japanese cars but is still an upgrade on the current model.......u get pretty and comfortable recaro sport seats...
