Seriously, it was a good car my old subi... it was a GT forester with a heap of WRX bits. Had 160awkw - perfect for gettign my daughter to child care and also having a bit of fun. But gearbox was piss weak and it still handled like a boat.

Lol I get onto this thread on ozvr4 and all I see is Evo Evo Evo... hahaha
I noticed you were looking around the 5/6 range, if you're looking for something a little less common and with a bit more pedigree/history I'd go a 5.
If you're up on your Evo history, the 5 was the first widebody, first with brembo's, first of the CP9A platform, plus had the sexy rear end with the tail light garnishes.
It's my personal pick between of the first 6 evolutions of, well the evo lol

A 5 is probably my pick out of the two as well. I like the front a lot better - much more beefier and doesn't look like 2 erect nipples. Rear garnish also looks better, but I do prefer the wing on the 6.

Lol, and we can get 200kw atw on stock turbo's with bolt on's..... So either Evo or VR4 should be exciting for you then actually

he would of still been running the stock turbo as well, probably on about 16psi. our cars have 206kw @ fly, wrx/fozzas etc from that era only had about 176kw or so @ the fly. my old MY01 made 164kw atw with full exhaust, tune and boost (up from 113kw atw in stock condition).

 

[PartyMan]

I have over 200rwkw at the moment, so I don't think it will be a hugely exciting in stock form.

No, it certainly won't be exciting stock. But then again, neither is an Evo....

 

[Jonson]

I beg to differ. Everyone knows corners is where a car proves itself, and that's exactly where the Evo loves to be.

 

[markasia]

how is a stock evo & galant in a straight line?

 

[lathiat]

I would honestly be looking at a 6.5 TME - Tommi Makinnen Edition.

x2

better turbo, better suspension (also lowered), close ratio gearbox, close ratio steering rack (<1.5 turns to full lock!), plus wank factor on naming rights

This thread has the evo guide. Great read and you can see the slight differences between each generation of evo's.
