very nice. I've always wanted a V or VI. I guess I have to settle for an VIII.

a little off topice, but I think the English have a deeper love for Evos than Americans do. I hope in time that Americans see the car in the same light.

J/K We're very jealous here in the states. I know alot of us autocrossers and track rats would love to get our hands on a V or a VI and turn it into a monster.

I think with an Evo IX Engine/Trans swap, a set of Ohlins C/O's and some 285/30/18's I'd be quite happy.

Wow guys thanks for all the nice comments. You make me feel very privileged to have the car! It was this of a mkiv supra twin turbo.... but the Supes aren't as adored as much as the Evo's are over here and to be honest I think the Evo is more suited to our type of road and weather.

I will keep you posted and up date the pics when I get chance.

New... wheels!

Picked up some brand new Evo X rims and tires. The guy I bought them off took them off a brand new X he's turning into a rally car. I'll have them thank you very much!

As you can see, the car is lovely and clean...... NOT! I did wash her 2 days ago... but with the amount of slush and salt on the roads it's not really worth it. Anyways here are a few pics of my new wheels! There can't be so many people running X wheels on a V RS yet..... am I the first?

I remember that vid too. I would like to know the actual mods on either car. Looks like they both have atleast an exhaust.

Looks great with the X rims and tires, better than the IX.
