[evoman123]

hello all sorry i dont know any think about evo's apart that they look lush lol
is there any problems with them i want an evo 10 manual to be running about 400 bhp ish would i have lodes of problems with it or and how would i get to 400 thanks for any help

 

[Rugslasher]

Easy get to 400 but after that would be better to have the rods done , just get a descent cat back & decat pipe then a good map , mine did 402bhp on first run , but not wanting to change rods we tamed it to 380/330

 

[evoman123]

thats what i wanted to hear thanks m8 have you had any problems with it do u know ruff mpg and was it worth it thanks luke

 

[Rugslasher]

It makes it a little better on fuel after the map but if your worried about fuel don't get an Evo lol, well worth the map even though I'm not a number chaser , it's just more crisp & responsive , mines an SST aswell so amazingly fast gear change

 

[evoman123]

got an s3 at the mo getting like 24 mpg so i hope it aint to much lower lol i love them but will be a every day car so just seeing if they are reliable thanks for any help

 

[Rugslasher]

Common probs , shocks are crap after a while ( knocking ) , timing chain has been upgraded, rods after 400 or high torque , a few issues with sst box but most were sorted under warranty , MAF sensor so stay away from tacky cone filter etc

 

[evoman123]

i want manual is there probs with that box

 

[Rugslasher]

Not sure tbh , my SST box has don 56,000 miles on same clutches so same as any car really , there's the odd bad egg , as for 24mpg I'm getting that easy , with the sst in normal mode it's really good on fuel so good for a daily

 

[evoman123]

that makes me feel even more happy to know it will be same if not better then car i have now but then i guess its more tax lol

 

[Rugslasher]

Only £500 year lol

 

[evoman123]

[Marty.H]

Tires are £100 odd per corner so £400 + a set I know that now put 4 new boots on mine Avon zv5's I fitted

 

[Rugslasher]

Not long ago put 4 Goodyear f1 eagle for £530 fitted , I've done everything myself & brother apart from mapping
