Thanks for the comment 😎👍

Depends on how many miles you end up doing, servicing is supposed to be every 4k to 4.5k miles. I do 2k to 3k most years but still service it every year, if it’s just plugs, filters and oils it’s around £300 to £350.. I’ve never used Norris as I live near APT in Norwich so I always go there. You can definitely daily one, but realistically you’ll get 15 to 20 mpg around town and around 25 on a run (One running stock power maybe more fuel efficient, but you don’t buy an Evo for fuel economy 😉).. Hope this helps 👊😎

@@ThatEvoVII yeah that’s good info thanks. 90% of my miles are motorway and it’s only 40 miles per trip. I’m averaging 5-6k a year because I don’t need to drive every day. I’m also aiming to keep my banger as it’s super cheap to run although the most boring car I’ve ever drove… 1.4 diesel, 62 plate Peugeot 208 😂 I plan on keeping the evo stock (as much as possible) so not looking for a huge power build when I do buy. Thanks again 👍🏼

@@General_Miller3 no problem at all 👊😎 .. definitely keep hold of the daily, because even though you could daily an Evo personally I never would, I think it’d take the sense of occasion away if you used it everyday. When I get mine back out after winter it’s like getting into a new car! Good luck finding a good one, look out for rot underneath (especially rear chassis rails), fuel tank/filler neck and around the inner wings and bulkhead, insist on it not being warmed up before you view it so you can see if it smokes excessively on start up.. any other issues you should be able to see whilst viewing. Btw if you do get one good luck keeping it stock, it’s just one of those cars you can’t help modifying, plus they love a bit of extra power! 🙌😎

Hi bud and thanks I try to keep on top of it.. If you buy a new car in the UK, it doesn’t need the yearly inspection until it’s 3 years old. Then it’s every year, you can store a vehicle without getting it tested, but once you want to use it again it needs to be inspected.

Thanks very much.. I recently had a bigger turbo fitted along with some other stuff, and they found that it had a faulty lambda sensor.. It was built by AP Tuning in Norwich who are amazing when it comes to Evo’s

@@ThatEvoVII Gotcha, so that explains the AFR readings. Sorry, I didn't want to sound like a snobby know-it-all, I'm sure that tune is proper good!!

@@Kryndon64 No worries mate, it’s all good.. Yep they know what they’re doing for sure, they plugged it in and found the problem then fitted a new sensor. I did do a video when it was in getting a new turbo along with a few other bits, I didn’t mention on the video about the lambda sensor though as I forgot!

Thanks very much, I try to keep on top of it.

Ahh nice one, I did wonder if you’d got one

😘👍

I’m on my way!! 😁👌

Thanks very much 👊😎

Sorry about that, but I’m not monetised so I get nothing for doing the videos 🤷‍♂️

Thank you 🙏 .. Yeah I love driving it, I use it as much as I can during spring, summer and autumn

Hahaha thank you mate, it was a great day.. Just a shame about the rain as a few left.

Great show, Kev. Is it the Lotus Carlton? In Denmark it´s called Lotus Omega. A Battleship. We also have the same bad weather in Denmark. And a teasing GPS too. Some glitches exist. My CS9W also have a poor turning circle. Thank you for the nice video.

@@ngk68 cheers bud, yeah it’s the Lotus Carlton here.. It’s a collaboration between Vauxhall and Lotus, I think Omega is the GM version?.. And yes, the turning circle is terrible hahaha

Thanks very much, yeah it’s a really fun car to drive.. I do like a Skyline, especially in midnight purple.. That’s what inspired me to have the Evo done that colour!

@@ThatEvoVII I'm hoping to achieve my goal this year and get myself a Skyline GTR. I'm still stuck trying to sell my current summer car before I can go ahead with that plan.

@@drogenfeld I’d love a GTR but good ones command big money these days, I did look at a mk4 Supra before I bought the Evo.. But we couldn’t come to a deal, maybe in the future I can own both before they get too expensive.. I mean I could win the lottery, right! 😁👌

@@ThatEvoVII I'm prepared to spend the money for the right car, finding the good ones is really hard though in my country. Lots of them require various work first before you can really enjoy it. Some are rightout not worth buying because of how bad the overall condition is. Hoping I can sell my car soon.

@@drogenfeld it’s exactly the same situation here, there’s an awful lot of rubbish out there.. I wish you good luck with your search.

Thanks buddy, appreciate it 🙏

You won’t be disappointed! ✌️😁

Thanks very much 🙏

Hi, I’m not 100% sure on the boost numbers, I forgot to ask to be honest.. We don’t usually measure whp here in the UK, but I’d guess it’d be around 400 once it’s gone through the transmission.. The torque is what makes it fun! 😎👌

@@ThatEvoVII from my experience evos loses are close to 80-90 hp So 400 +- whp Solid numbers on pump 98

@@bmwe-op4jx Yep, that’s what I would’ve thought.. But we do have 99 on the pump here, I’d like to try it on E85 but you can’t get it on the pump here.

It’s just there to protect the wheel, it’s actually an Evo 9 wheel that’d only done 30k miles.. I just want to keep it nice that’s all 😎👌

@@ThatEvoVII why would you cover it up if its nice hahah

@@bartjongedijk3791 so it stays nice 🤷‍♂️

@@ThatEvoVII haha Allright. Lovely car mate

@@bartjongedijk3791 thanks very much, I just don’t want to get the wheel trimmed.. If I ever sell the car, it should look pretty clean, I’ve even got fitted covers on the Recaro’s

Ahh thx matey! Yeah it’s an absolute blast to drive, it sounds so different as well.. Yeah it don’t really promote my KZfaq channels tbh, maybe I should 😉👍 I’ve just subbed back, I’ll take a look in a bit when I’m home!

What do you think of the clutch as well ?

@@5372john Hi there, I was told by some people the turbo is only good for about 470, but I guess it all depends on the supporting mods and who’s tuning it. So for it to make almost 485 is fantastic in my opinion, there’s virtually zero lag and it sounds amazing.. even the exhaust note has changed, the power it’s at right now is perfect for me, plus I have the option to turn it down if I want to. As for the clutch initially it only felt a bit heavier which I was ok with, but after a couple of days of driving I’ve come to realise you need to rev it a bit more to get away from junctions if you’re on a hill (I’ve stalled it a couple of times 🤦‍♂️), it’s definitely more aggressive in that respect compared to my old RTS organic clutch which was very light to use.. But I’ll get used to it 😎👍

@@ThatEvoVIIoh yeah absolutely almost 485 is great power. Is yours a stock 2L forged or a long rod setup ? I’ll be going with the same clutch I think in the future.

@@5372john yep, I’m still 2.0 which was fully forged by APT a few years ago.. you won’t be disappointed with the exedy clutch, it just needs a bit more revs when pulling away.

Yes! It certainly would.. But I’d be nervous of everyone else on the track! I’d hate to have it damaged because of someone else, but never say never!

Yeah, I noticed the sound was different out of the exhaust when they drove it off of the dyno. The BOV though is totally unrecognisable to how it did sound.. The engine is fully forged so it could handle 600+, but to be honest I don’t think it needs anymore, plus I don’t want to end up chasing the weak points due to reliability issues. I think middle power at 445 is great for twisty B roads though, and full boost for straight line speed.

Yes he’s a friend of mine actually.. And yes the Evo 7 only came with a 5 speed manual, the 6 speed came in the later models.. But it isn’t as strong apparently. Yeah the gear ratios are quite short, but it does rev pretty fast so you’re never in one gear for very long!

I took note of the price today when I filled up, it was £1.50 per litre for 99 octane fuel

@@ThatEvoVII It´s a tad more for the 99 octane here in Denmark aprox. £2 I only use 95 octane, maybe I should use 99, so that ethanol 10 % don´t ruins the engine.

@@ngk68 mine only runs on 99, luckily Tesco momentum is about 10p to 15p cheaper than Shell Vpower.. on an older car/engine using 99 would only be a good thing.

@@ThatEvoVII Thanks for the advice, heard the ethanol mix can eat delicate parts like hoses and soft rubber sealings in the intake or fuel tank system. Also it evaporates faster under use.

Oh nice one, not many 3000GT’s around these days! I’ve actually modified a mobile phone holder, so that I can hold the camera in my mouth, it looks a bit weird to some people.. But the angle it gives is better for the viewer in my opinion, I find headband cams are too high, and fixed window cameras don’t give the same feeling of driving.

@@ThatEvoVII yea you don’t see them at all nowadays and I plan on doing alot of content with it until the wheels fall off lmao, but that doesn’t sound bad but I rather just use the headband in my opinion, do you know where I could get one from?

@@4EvaDrux_ there’s a few on eBay at the moment www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395449065861?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=p1k_shpwrzs&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=OsX20AEmSO6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You have to be careful around here! 😉👌

@@ThatEvoVII haha algs

Thank you so much.. Yes, it has a full Tomei Ti system from the turbo, it sounds amazing the camera microphone doesn’t do it justice to be honest!

Thanks very much 😘👍

Cheers Bc, I’ve never had the Benz that flat before.. It sapped my power pack in about 5 attempts, and that is supposed to jump start a 4.0 V8! Hahahaha

👊😎

I like to keep my license 😉👌

Yeah, it really sets the bay off nicely.. I got it from JDC in the USA, just follow the link and if you want anything bespoke to you just email them and tell them what you’d like jdcustomsusa.com/products/jdc-titanium-valve-cover-heat-shield-evo-4-9

Thank you so much 🙏 .. Yes the winters here are not all that harsh regarding temperatures, but there is a lot of salt put down on the roads so the ice melts quicker. It’s the salt that will cause the body to corrode, especially underneath!

Thanks very much 🙏 .. It’s an RTS organic clutch, I’ve covered around 12.5k miles with it. But I’m having a bigger turbo fitted next month, and will be having it changed to an Exedy twin plate clutch with Exedy lightened flywheel 👊😎

That’s fantastic! You will love it, I am sure of that 🙌😎

👊😁

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words 🙏

Thanks very much 🙏

It sure is bud! 👊😎

Yes mate, it’s the Tomei expreme Ti catback

@@ThatEvoVII Sick, looking for one of these for my 7

@@minocs It’s a great system.. I also have the Tomei expreme turbo elbow and Tomei downpipe, having a full Tomei system from the turbo made a huge difference to the sound.. The camera doesn’t really do it justice tbh

Hi there, it’s a karcher k4 power control.. I’ve had it around 5 years now, I have to say it’s been brilliant. I had a smaller karcher washer before, and that wasn’t even powerful enough to clean the driveway, but the k4 does everything I need it to.

@@ThatEvoVII Thanks for the response, that is brilliant to hear as that is the one I have been looking to get. Only going to be using it to clean the cars mainly. Thanks!

@@Chris-ob7qd no worries bud, it’s just my personal opinion.. But it’s an honest one

Thanks very much 🙏

Bros hating for what

Cheers bud, I enjoy doing them. I actually use an iPhone 12 Pro Max which is on a bracket that I hold in my mouth, A GoPro on a headband is bit too high really, I think the camera in my mouth gives a better perspective of actually sitting there driving.
