Today's rice was an Altezza with chrome spinners .... lol auckland southern motorway for the win
That's better than the corolla gl sedan with chromes and gt wing like we have in Hamilton.

I saw a car this morning doing the whole gangster "-30 degrees camber" thing.

Where the whole car was basically riding on the inner sidewalls, a whopping inch of tire contact on each tire.

This guy was flying doing 80mph like that. Can't imaging how dangerous it is.

i have a 7 with ayc diff. pushing 350kw at the wheels and had no problems. have launched it countless times with no issues yet either.
although i do load the clutch up alot when launching. id rather blow a clutch 2 bits than a gearbox/diff.


Early evos here are constantly running 10s with light mods eg a slightly upgraded turbo n injectors with a tune etc. due to being such a light car. awesome cheap drag weapon.

Hearing about the Tme so much has made me think twice about the ix, there's a nice example for $26k NZ with under 50,000 km.

my buddy travis bought a gunmetal colored evo III last year from a local in phoenix and its super clean. he bought it stock for 10k and took all his parts off his dsm and put them on the evo and they all fit for the most part.

The reason why you don't see/hear much about earlier evo is b/c there aren't any imported to US
