Here (http://www.carplanetltd.co.uk/)

I knew they did them in Japan, and i've seen a Simon Norris one at the Autocar show, but i've never seen them for sale in the UK before now. Look quite cool.

Saw a german plated white one at the Ring several times - I'm sure Jane took some pics of it on track.

Looked ok.

Car Planet have been selling them for a few months

German plate is lad from MLR - he also has red 6 TME and white Skyline - friend of Rich W's who had the black Evo an easter or two ago - 620 bhp but could not get back onto track after couple of laps due to noise test

I enquired about them shortly after first advert but they were taking some time getting them through SVA

I really wouldn't mind getting my mits on one of those. I think they are pretty good looking.

If I had to replace my Legnum, this would be a contender.

I like the black manual one.

Luckily for you there is a second one ;) Do you want the one with the gutted dashboard or the one with the stereo? :hat:

AFAIK the Evo 9 Wagon GTA does not have same mechanicals as Evo 9 - has different engine/not latest spec and does not have gear change buttons as Evo 7 GTA has on steering wheel

Evo automatic.......almost as silly as an auto v6 twin turbo 4WD.......


...but get away from thougfhts of 'auto' and think of sequential gearbox - race cars, rallying, dragster...

...sequential gearchange very desirable!

a sequential gearbox doesn't have a torque converter....

So it's not sequential, doesn't move through gears, up and down, sequentially...


...well never mind, still fun to be had in Evo and VR-4 with 'auto' fitted...
