My Evo 6 underbody restoration thread

www.lancerregister.com

Did Exactly 100 trackdays in that car, mega thing!.....3 engines/3 diffs 3 suspension kits...3 big brake kits

Started to get black flagged on every trackday in the last year...because of power sliding/drifting as I knew the car so well and got a bit bored. haha

Few pics...

So thought id do a similar thing with my new GR. (although hopefully no underneath resto work for a while!!!)

 

[Philevo6]

Went on a few trackdays and had good tussles with a couple of GR Yaris,even tho the Evo pulled away on the straights, when It came to braking and a bend then the Yaris was right there!,even tho my evo was immense in the bends, things have moved on in 20 years!...that sold it for me haha.....I was thinking id gone as far as I could with the Evo and thought about getting something like a m12 noble or focus rs......decided on the Yaris...as it is a mini Evo...and the 4x4 handling sealed it for me.

So ordered one...(thanks to GR-fun and oak mere Toyota Matty Riddell )

Evo sold....van /trailer sold....and what seemed like the longest wait ever!!..tracking bloody boats!...finally I got the call ...it was here. 72 plate circuit pack in washing machine white!

Told the dealer to leave it alone, as I'm a detailer and it would be getting everything polished and coated....all the stickers were left on,straight off the transporter. 8 miles on the clock, untouched.

 

[Philevo6]

Then straight from the dealer to collins performance...20 mins away, with 23 miles on the clock

New mongoose opf back exhaust,4.5 tips, eibach lowering springs and camber bolts fitted

Mongoose sounds just like my Evo on tick over..nice burble and not too loud.

Great service by Gary and the lads at collins.

 

[Philevo6]

While I was waiting for the car for a year it gave me time to research/collect a few parts....like 8 grands worth.

Booked a few weeks off work to fit the parts and full detail it.

The GR DOES have faults, and it is my aim to fix some of them to make it a better car all round for me

Seat height... interior mirror.....speakers are shit....wheels too far in.....too quiet....etc etc

Circuit pack wheels looked lost in the lowered arches.....sold!

Bought a set of pumaspeed 18x9.5 alloys.....yoko AD08R tyres (255/35) in grey and had them powered coated white

Also bought a set of 5 speedline turini motorsport 8x18 with the deeper dish in gold....swopped brand new tyres of oem rims...ps4s

You won't be able to fit front strut brace and use the mounting plate for the DTUK box at the same time

I remember following your build on the MLR when I had my Evo. I was 'Trev-the-Rev' on there.

Wow, that's a lot of mods. How do you know you need all of them without being able to try the car out for some time? do you use to put a lot of extra salt and pepper on meals before having a bite too

Research mate and I knew a few lads with GR's before I got mine...plus I guess I didn't want to be disappointed with it compared to the Evo....430 bhp down to 260bhp and loads less torque so bought a few mods to improve it to around 300

TBH its not that many mods....id say stage 1 (exhaust filter, tuning box)..loads are cosmetic little touches.

Im not going mad "yet" like I did with the evo....nitrons/cage etc...just want a nice road car for now, with a few trackdays thrown in.

 

[Philevo6]
