Lexus Air bags !
by Davros, 20-12-2017, 01:32 PM
We have driver’s passengers and even side impact air bags, all to which we hear are very good.
But as a Lexus driver I know one thing that goes through all of our minds an awful lot is...
How good would our air bags be in a microwave ? :confused1:
Thank the Americans for solving this issue ! :biggrin:

All the reviews say it's pretty decent to drive as well and all the economy hasn't compromised its driveability......I think Mercedes, Lexus and Audi have a bit of headscratching to do.........:laugh:
There has to be a catch with this car right? On paper it's mighty impressive and makes many other cars look a bit silly! 70mpg, 109g CO2 and a car that still does 0-60 in 8s..........

From Hairdresser to Street Thug.......the journey

I have been hiding a secret. Before I sold my Honda S2000 (with the hairdresser jokes) I had actually already bought my replacement car a few months prior but it looked so different to what it does now.

This is what it looks like now:
![[Image: S1032853.JPG]](http://www.ranatech.co.uk/evo/S1032853.JPG)
It took ALOT of work to get it to this stage.
This the story of its journey to where it is now. I didn’t want to reveal it until I felt it was ready.
I bought (through my friend Nads at Auto-Serve) a Mitsubishi Evo MR FQ-320. It is a mint low-mileage example (only 20K on the clock) and from factory pushes out 326bhp. The MR models have big improvements over the non MRs with improvements to the electronic 4WD system, to the ACD (Active Centre Differential) + Super AYC (Active Yaw Control) handling systems, together with Bilstein suspension which is not rock hard. The MR engines have stronger cams tuned for competition use with emphasis on power output in the mid-to-high speed bands. The car also comes as standard with Recaro full-bucket front seats, carbon-fibre dashboard and black headlamp reflectors. A fantastic base car!
People should know however from my past cars that I like to make them special and on this one I really have gone all out!! I wanted to make this into one of the best street Evos around so with a lot of help from my mates at Auto-Serve in Oldham we got to work.
Handling
Evos handle so well as standard that for once I didn’t really need to do a great deal. The only problem is that the front is SO HIGH as standard so after some research the first step was to lower the car all round but I didn’t want it to be too low (it is a road-going rally car after all!)
Nads lowered the car all around on Eibach Springs. These are progressively wound springs which actually make the ride a touch softer around town but stiffen up a lot more then stock springs when you are cornering fast.
They lower by 25mm at the front and the back by around 15mm which I think is a perfect drop. It just looks the part and the car is still fine over bumps.
The only other thing I did was to buy a Whiteline Rear AntiRoll bar and set it to the medium setting. This was to reduce any roll and to make the turn in sharper. Have to be careful however – set it too hard and it can induce oversteer. :laugh:
For a steet car I think this is a great suspension setup and works well.

Pajero SWB
by deckie77, 19-12-2017, 06:45 PM
Always wanted a Mitsubishi EVO 6 Tommi Mak, but ive settled for a 1993 Pajero, Slow as hell, rumbles like mad at idle, nearly fell asleep driving it 100 miles home today (never driven an automatic more than a couple of miles) but had some snow filled fun this afternoon in it, going to put it to work towing a trailer around for the next year while i build my extension.
Good little thing for just over a grand, was just going to be a work horse but it's really in very good nick and has grown on me as the day has went on, so may even give it a wash & shine up the morro.

Finally have a date for Operation
by Demon, 18-12-2017, 12:51 PM
Just a quick one to keep everyone in the loop!
Finally after weeks of waiting today was the last day that the NHS had to get back to me with a date for my Heart Operation and guess what no letter :Chair:
To say i was fed up is an understatement! I am getting soooo tired now all the time its just unreal. I go to work and try and work but need to sit down nearly every hour or so to catch my breath and then at the end of the day i go home and im pretty much ready to fall asleep!
I decided to phone them up this morning and after going from department to department finally got directed to the right place. All the doctors where in a meeting so was told they would call back. She did say that there was no date confirmed over the phone so i would be looking at another 2-3 weeks at the least!
Well they just called back and have said they have a time available on the 10th of February (i will go in on the 9th) and i have accepted as if i wait any longer i feel i really will be in trouble!
The sooner i get my life back to normal the better!!!
