1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V

@Burt2000 no harm in asking, I'll report back.

 

[Samy888]

@acsmyth looks class, would love one made too!

 

[acsmyth]

So Ohlins suspension with the track springs upgrade ordered today, as well another set of Alcon calipers and disks for the rear.

Finally be able to get the car over the AI and get everything fitted, chomping at the bit to test the new suspension, tyres and brakes at Kirky!

Should be a very well setup car once all these bits are fitted!

Spec will be as follows:

Ohlins R&T Coilovers with Track Focused Springs
Front -Alcon Advantage Extreme 6 pot calipers with 343mm discs
Rear - Alcon Advantage Extreme 4 pot calipers with 343mm discs
DS Uno pads all round

Nice

 

[svensktoppen]

That will be brilliant

Calipers painted orange, something a bit different.

Always been a dream for me to be able to put parts like this on a car.

Semi-slicks, a forged alloy wheel, Ohlins suspension and a massive fookin caliper.

That will be some thing else to drive when you're done brakes suspension and wheels, all the important changes to make love it

 

[acsmyth]

I think if I'd never been on track before, I'd probably have fallen into the trap of chasing big power first.

Definitely the most important changes to make before anything else!

 

[michelinman]

Aaah, well that’s just lovely! I can’t get enough of brake pörn

 

[svensktoppen]

Team Dynamics wheels?

 

[acsmyth]

No they are Wedsport!

 

[acsmyth]

£30 a pop for these little things, but can't really be doing without them. Nice carbon effect and to be fair they are metal and not plastic.

 

[**mugen**]

Awesome.

 

[Laundrymike]

Nice...what's it like to drive now with your recent upgrades?

 

[acsmyth]

@Laundrymike Jonny is just finishing up the mapping of the Link ECU tomorrow morning, so will report back once I have it.

He's taken it to Ivan Kerr's for a proper track alignment as well, so I'm expecting it to handle like it's on rails.

Bet you can't flipping wait! I hope it's as good as I imagine it to be

You know its a good day, when you recieve a message like this!!!

LOL does it need to be switchable ?

 

[acsmyth]

@Neil_M no more going out in the quiet car group for me!

 

[ChrisL]

Was leaving something down at Jonnys the other night and saw this parked up. Such a clean 5 ... properly nice example!

It actually does mine started to get on my nerves, I've the pops and bangs with traction off and prefer driving with traction off most times but the pops and bangs can be a little annoying after a while lol

 

[acsmyth]

Cheers Chris, bit round the edges but pretty decent for a 21 year old car!

sit in your own motor in neutral with the rev counter reading 2000rpm & set a firework off every 5 seconds & you'll understand why it's switchable haha!
