Hi, again, guys!

I joined last year and had an Evo 6 GSR which was great until I discovered that the back end was rotten!

I got rid and bought myself an Impreza STI Type RA as a replacement for the 6, however im firmly on the Evo side of the fence so began looking for a good one and happened to stumble across a gem of an Evo 4.

Owned by an MLR member for around 6 years, he had spent a fortune on it after buying it as a standard car. The spec list is pretty impressive and it includes a forged Evo 8 MR engine running 1.4 and 2 bar of boost, it makes it quite rapid :twisted:

Anyhow, her she is:






Any comments welcome :razz:

Hi mate, should of just shouted me over, some people you just can't get away from! What did you want to ask about?
Im in Grantham so not too far away, do any Evo meets happen round our way at all?

Heres a couple taken at the meet:

Welcome and a very very nice looking IV.

 

[fq-craigus]

Ah right yh not far at all. You have answered my questions in your first post, about the engine, and really just wanted to say how tidy it was, really looks good in the flesh.

No meets round here im afraid, not theough lack of trying, doesnt help that I hardly kow anyone these ways as im from down south onky moved here 18 moths ago, im meeting people through motorbikes which is easier than the car unfortunatly.

You going to be at the meet 5th april in peterborough? My car might be back on the road for then

 

[paulgtt]

Ok, thanks mate.
I didn't know there was a meet on then! Is it same thing again?

 

[fq-craigus]
