Lovelly mate, Im defo after the 5 now, made my mind up. Just gonna get it, keep it standard n do light mods and try upgrade the system so its bullet proof. Their quick enough standard for me n i know when u start playing with cars thats when they go wrong lol. Im sure u guys can tell me a few stories haha

 

[Wings]

Next question thou, is the GSR the top spec one or is it the RS?

 

[B6lee]

If you mean the garnish light on the boot lid then I can't explain which models have them and which dont.

Some 5/6's came with no garnish lights. Some 5/6's came with all red garnish light which like on my car they are fog lights. Some others are all red without the fog lights. Some are red with a clear top but without lights.

The one in ur signature pic is the rear that I like... 5 it is save a few quid that way as well getting the 5 than the 6.

Guys i'm off, really apricate the feedback but I'll be back on tomoz night so i'll talk to u all again. Thanks again

I wouldn't want to run a 6 engine to 400 bhp. Those figures are for MR and Evo 9 engines only as they have thicker rods. Earlier engines will require a rod job or a forged re-build

I hear lots of people saying this but theres loads of standard 6's running 400+ and have been for some time(mine included).I'm sure there will of been failures but how many ? And how many have failed at 300/350 ?
Im doing a robjob next on mine but would love to see how long it'd last with a gtx3071/205b etc.
Just don't want to waste a decent block,oil cooler etc

I feel the same I would run 400 no problem on stock engine and see what happens if she blows she blows

 

[B6lee]

Rs comes without Ayc, electric windows, air con, electric mirrors or central locking. And no brembo brakes. Also has lightweight seats, a shorter ratio gearbox, a limited slip centre diff and a quicker steering rack.

The rs II is as above but comes with aircon and electric windows and central locking

 

[evoaps]

Brembo s were an optional extra so If you are lucky u could find one with Brembos

Maybe ha on my old evo 5 I had her mapped and planed to get cams for het to bring her close to 400 but I sold it regret selling it

The all red garnish lights are from an evo 4. The 5 & 6 ones have the clear bit at the top. The evo 4 lights are also more red than the evo 5 ones.

Evo 5

Evo 4

I've since gone back to the evo 5 ones :hm:

 

[youngy_315]

I have the clear top on mine now, looks better imo.

Ah but were your 4 lenses just reflectors or were they actual fog lights like mine are ?
And yes they are proper job with proper cut outs in the boot lid for the bulb etc to go through.

Agreed, the clear top ones are much better. But mine are actual fog lights so for now they stay

 

[dessimpson]

They had been modded to be fog lights but I didn't use them for that.

The main lights are actually a bit different behind the scenes and you have to tinker a bit to get the bulbs to fit.
I was going for a more red look but in the end I preferred the originals.

As for the cut outs in the boot. If you have garnish lights then you have the cutouts. They don't go on without the holes.
