Very nice, looks too good to take out and get dirty!!! What sort of power she pulling? loving the carbon skirts, thinking of getting some for my 9 from xtreme carbon aswell (they good quality?) any chance you could let me know measurement of furthest point they stick out please, would really appreciate info and also how easy to fit? From what i can tell they seem a very simple fit with exsisting screws?! Many thanks!

cheers mate appreciate the comments, it was about 396 when i got it, mapped by previous owner somewhere in kent, very peaky to drive though, had Matt at TRL in halifax remap it down (LOL) to 385bhp, much better drive more linear torque curve as well, power comes on at about 2500rpm and stays pretty much all the way up to 7000rpm, so a lot happier with it, extreme carbon are great to deal with, phone rather than contact through e-bay shop and they will do a dea, ordered mine on a sunday, all delivered tuesday, cant get better than that IMO, no fitment issues except on front splitter i had to shave a tiny bit away from where front tow point is, cant see it unless your under it LOL, the skirts are approx 25mm at front 45mm in the middle ( where rear of front door is) and about 35mm at rear mate hope this helps they come with all fittings which are better than the original mitsubishi ones TBH, you will have to drill two extra tiny holes as the skirts come with two more holes than the original screw fittings, again these are underneath so cant be seen

Sounds sweet, power sounds spot on for great drivability imo prob did u a deal as u bought front/side/rear extensions? I only want sides! The holes on the side extensions all match up originals on car (think theres eight of them) if so do u mean there were 2 extra ones (10) on the extensions and if so do u really need to use the extra 2 coz i really dont wanna start drilling their website say perfect fit?! Sorry to bother if all the questions its just im soooooo precious of my car (bit ocd!!) and want it to be all correct before buying and putting on and defo dont wanna be drilling anything (why im not going for rear ones!!) many thanks in advance

LOL just been out and checked its one extra hole each side, sorry, probably not needed TBH, just me belt and braces thing, yes i did spend a lot with them but if you phone him he doesnt get fees from e-bay and paypal, all i did was post him back some pictures of skirts fitted along with some words about ease of fitment, quality etc, worth a call even if its only fiver saving, thats a gallon of V power LOL

 

[Tomy D]

Lovely jubbly thanks for help and info, r give him a call later! Do love a spot of juicy v-power nitro!!!

 

[Tomy D]

That's an impressive list of cars you have owned since your last Evo. What made you come back to Mitsi.

Normally keep my cars about a year mate,was actually after another supra ( my bucket list just gets longer)trawling pistonheads looking, couldn't see any that made me fizz (to quote James may)tried mr2,and rx7 same story, saw this yellow 9, and got the fizz lol

 

[robin]

Haha, all those cars make me fizz.

Only a certain type of car can pull of a yellow paint job and the evo is definitely one of them I don't blame you for pulling back the power a bit. My old 9 was nearing 450hp and although being fun to drive, it was a bit much. That's probably why I crashed it I picked up my new one 3 weeks ago and that's mapped to 386/360 and this is probably better to drive than the old one, plus the gearbox will probably last a bit longer..... it's good to be back in the game
