Just a quick post to say hi really.
Im about to buy an Evo X fq 300 in lightning blue and due to pick it up on Thursday and to say i'm excited would be an understatement.
Just counting down the hours now.

Thanks guys. It has been custom remaped by evotune to 360 bhp. Anyone know if this sounds like a safe limit with the sst box? Not sure what the torque is tbh.

I got the sst. I didnt fancy the 5 speed manual to be honest as the last few cars ive had have been 6 speed and every time i drive a 5 speed it annoys the hell out me. Just personal preference though. Whats your thoughts?

How long have you had it mate? And how is it to live with day to day?

I've had it 8months, Day to Day its fine other than the odd rattle - just turn the radio up, fuel wise ill do on average 240miles to a tank. Around town it can be a pain in stop start traffic... however you wont have that problem as you dont have a clutch

Well I picked her up today and im extremely pleased to say the least.

looking good Johnny

Thanks Will. This is my first awd car so theres probably a few things that im not used to. Does anyone find that in either forward or reverse - if you full lock the steering wheel the car doesnt seem to like it and its as if it struggles to move? Same thing happens if I come up to a tight junction and have to turn - its as if the front wheels are hesitant then with a bit more throttle it will stutter round the corner?

Welcome along

Hi johnnybhoy, lovely looking car, seems I'm local to you and also a new owner. I went for a manual but couldn't find one in blue. I'll keep an eye out for you around the wonderful smooth roads of Stirling.
