    Hi Gaz,
    Welcome to the forum - I don't think there are many 7g owners posting but there are loads of helpful well informed people who'll help and advise when they can.

    Me? I know nothing!

    Enjoy.

    BTW Car looks like a good example.

    Cheers fellas, it is in very good nick for it's age and I got a good deal traded in my Stunning Proton Evolution Coupe, ( Lancer Coupe with a 4G93 and a Proton badge) and not to much money, way less than the £3.5 he had in the back window , it has a problem with vibration at higher speeds but I think one of the wheels are buckled our it could be the perished **** jap tyres or the fact that one of the rims has no weights on it, only had it for a few hours got it home and cleaned it and gave the engine bay a wash tryed to get the bull bar off but there are holes cut in the bumper so will have to sort what I am going to do about that one anyway it runs a treat and is clean though there are a few bits inside that need attention, more later on these subjects anyhone got any bigger rims? I take it they are 4x114 and do you know offset and width of rims ?

    And last one for now, would Evo 5/6 legs hubs and brakes just bolt on ?

    It is my 3rd one of these in a year

    Damn that TME looks amazing in black.
    I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.

    That's very kind of you I will keep you in mind

    Going to have a look at some 17s at the weekend and have ordered a strut brace for the front and a set of dials so I can keep an eye on things from inside the car, once I get that all fitted and the vibration sorted then I will be looking at fitting a Dawes device or the like so I can turn the boost up a bit
