Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
I've owned Evo's for the last 10 years (a VI, VIII MR and now a X RS) and spent many hours on the MLR and never heard of this
I think you're getting confused with the FQ versions which are modified by Mitsubishi UK (used to be the Colt Car Company) from the jap spec cars which arrive in the UK. Currently Mitsubishi UK offer the X in FQ 300, 330 and 360 spec plus the limited edition FQ 400. Years ago the UK importers were called Ralliart, now called Extreme UK, and they built a limited edition RS 450 version of the VI. They were fine for road use....I see one at local MLR meets in Yorkshire.Regarding the OP as others have said having loads of horsepower is pointless if you're unable to put the power down. Evo's are quick because the 4WD system allows you to utilise the available power in most weather conditions.
i want my next car to be a Corvette..the V8 sounds amazing..

If you want a quick R32, dont bother with a Supercharger - you need a turbo. Actually you need 2 turbos

the reason for a freelander is that I think i just want something comfy and i fancy going off road and hopefully I'll have a boat, If not a freelander then probably a merc c class, either a big diesel or a C63 AMG ... even the CLS or possibly a scirroco.

Not sure how long you'd live though... 1g in acceleration is 'quite' a lot.

Unreal mate I'm definatly getting a r32 after the leon, how much do you reckon it'd cost to turbo it couple of grand?

that video cracks me up every time.
i've recently gone for a stage 10 remap and my fr tdi is now kicking out 1200bhp
okay flame me or whatever it's called, to me these arguements are a bit like what OS is better, are PCs better than macs etc, i.e. they go on, and on, and on with very little agreement.
as someone else said surely driving is about more than what bhp your car has, no? or maybe i'm just getting old. in reality, how much of a 200+bhp engine can be exploited day to day in the real world? even in my standard fr tdi it's not often possible to get the most out of it.
okay, moaning over![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

My advice is get a diff, engine mounts and a decat. I did and bl**dy heck it made a marvellous difference.

Im lucky with where I live, and I get to stretch the cars legs on a daily basis if I so wish. If I lived where some of my friends lived I probably would be inclined to think the same way as you.

dont show me stuff like that. Makes me feel inadequate.
Just shows how our stage 2 cupras are small fish in the sea.

If I was 20 years older Id take the golf over the K1 allday long, but im only 20, so the in your face cupra suits me.
Think I will do diff, hybrid track road tires, or track tyres and lower it for the summer, and then finally leave it at that. Been talking to APS about tuned TT-RS's and how the compare to stage 2 plus S3's and I think my mind is made up now.
Diff, mounts, lowering spring, and tyres, then start saving for the TT-RS. Ideally id like to have it for august, sept time, realistically maybe a year from now. Just want to get a half decent deposit down on it, instead of paying stupid finance each month, so I have plenty of cash flow for mods etc as I aim for 500hp with it
