was that on a skid pad or on a curcuit...last time i saw a skid pad there wasn't a wall in sight

 

What are you talking about?

 

Oh I get you....I believe it happened on a racing circuit in England called Donnigton ....I was only joking about the skid pad...I was having a slam at ...mamed not tamed

 

ok that makes sence then...but i bet it was just a driving error and not because the car is lacking AYC and ACD

 

haha oh the sarcasm in the posts

 

Oh, so the price I was quoted was not far off the actual value of the lights. My contact was offering real Mitsubishi parts too.

So you are fairly confident then that the bumper structure will be removable. I'm curious to see if the principle behind removing them is as easy as the reality. I can't wait till people start taking delivery of their Evo's!


Regarding Mini's....They are easy to get into the US.....as long as they are over 25 years of age, or appear as such. Since you've been around real vintage Mini's, it should be easy for you to spot the "Reshelled" or revinned cars on the market here in the US, which only appear to be vintage....but can be as new as model year 2000 Mini's.

All I did was wire money to a friend who sells Minis in the UK, he drove my car down to the docks at Southampton and handed it over to the shipping company. The shipping company handled all the paperwork. All I had to do was pay for it all, sign my name a few dozen times, and drive it out of the ports in Baltimore. If you are looking for info on how to get a Mini in the US, you can go to www.minimania.com.

Mine is a true 1961 car. Since it is such an early car, it is known as an Austin Se7en Deluxe. It originally came with the 850. But now it has a 998 with rod change transmission. It's not fast, but it is sooo cool and it handles like a go-cart!

SC [/QUOTE)Thanks for the info.....My daughter might want a mini when she is old enough......the easy way to tell an old mini is the external hinges on the doors, and I think sliding windows..we used to rally a 1966 mini cooper S...with a 1430cc A series engine, it had a jack knight close ratio straight cut gearbox in it, it had twin tanks roll cage minilite wheels ect.ect....it was producing 122bhp at the wheels...on a single 48 weber carb...ahhh those where the days!!!!

I have examined close up photos of both US and euro evo 8 the bars loo like you would find on the front of a plymouth prowler.....well sort of...exept they are behind the front bumper cover.....the other mod I am considering is a front LSD...IMO the best mod you can make to the evo.....
