1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V

[quattro Rick]

That thing can take up an entire bay of spaces sideways with cones for **** sake. Just look at it

 

[JonnyG-Tturbo]

Stunning, can’t wait to see this in person. Incredible mate!

 

[TheDaniel]

Uppa Japs. Class!

 

[acsmyth]

@TheDaniel @quattro Rick cheers lads.

@JonnyG-Tturbo wee run out in order after lock down...

 

[acsmyth]

Some photos of how the car is sitting now, carbon side skirt extensions and rear spats added. A nice little carbon badge for the front as well to match!

Still on the hunt for an air dam or splitter for the front to bring in a bit lower.

I think the stormy clouds suit the mood of this car perfectly.

 

[Burt2000]

Evil looking car that! That’s a properly sorted evo

 

[scub]

that's just about as good as a 5 gets.... perfecto

 

[acsmyth]

@scub cheers bud, even parked properly this time just for you.

 

[Bronk]

Unreal, really aggressive stance with the performance to match

 

[svensktoppen]

Stunning. That's all.

Don't think you want to go much lower at the front to be honest. It will be eating roadhumps and whatnot Besides they're rally cars, not circuit racers.

But that's just me. Just stunning either way

 

[acsmyth]

@svensktoppen it’ll not be going any lower on the front suspension wise, it’s perfect height as is! It’ll just be a thin splitter or something to give the front bumper a bit more depth.

 

[AlpineF30]

**** ME

That’s perfection right there

 

[JonnyG-Tturbo]

The side extensions add so much! For so little they are so effective, makes it nice and fat looking. Best looking 5!

 

[acsmyth]

@AlpineF30 cheers bud, I spend most of my time in the garage staring at it.

@JonnyG-Tturbo aye they’re are a must for any 5 really, gives it that extra bit of needed width in between the arches.

 

[acsmyth]

Also, shout out to the harbour police officer, who pulled up beside me and started to have a chat about the car and gave me a few other locations around the harbour that would be good for photos

 

[quattro Rick]

Can we race for pinks? If you win you get the respect, if I win I take the cars

Every time I see this it gets better. You've done an incredible job sorting it. Can't imagine it's worth anything less than a fortune being that perfect

 

[dh1079]

Stunning perfectly done from engine to body, as you say wee front lip to match skirt extensions would be final touch
Absolutely stunning buddy

 

[acsmyth]

@quattro Rick no problem, we’ll schedule the race in for 2031 when your cars ready

 

[steveo21]

Unreal. Its a keeper for a very long time..

 

[veedubnoodle]

That is fantastic!

 

[acsmyth]

Class wee video from @big_pete -

Amazing job as always

 

[ChrisL]

Thats just perfect, nothing else I can say. Perfect!

 

[svensktoppen]

Just wow. Don't change or add anything. Hope you'll still be able to use it, lol

 

[acsmyth]

So it's make the interior safe time so I don't kill myself spinning flat out at Debtors this summer, hopefully, we actually get lockdown lifted and a few track days in!

Few bits ordered:

- Safety Devices Bolt in Cage with X Bar and Door Bars

- Corbeau Revenge Seats in Carbon/Kevlar

Not safety related but to make shifting feel a lot better, a CAE Ultra Shifter in Black

Also, have a list of bits that are sat with Jonny waiting to be fitted including some new bracing and a baffled sump so the engine isn't starved of oil on the long right-hand turns at Kirkistown.
