Wednesday: Ballarat to Melbourne: 236 for work driveway to carpark in city 118k's loved the arvo drive back sunroof open.
Thursday: Ballarat to Melbourne to Berwick return : 320
Tomorrow feel like taking the day off and going to Sunbury:
Total so far: 730 k's and loving it.
I hope I don't curse myself now but really enjoying my car!

Saturday - Late night designated driver
Sunday - erm....

In all, I think I'm loving it.
 
I wont write my week down, but i am loving driving my car. The tune needs to be sorted out and a few little things so just running 7psi gate pressure till i finished uni and had time and money.

But i love cruising around and listening to the 272 cams throbbing at the lights :lol: and love the hard suspension.

So worth the time effort and every spare cent i have lol.

I have been driving the Evo every day this week, mainly due to the fact that the A/C compressor on the work ute said 'good night'... and it's been 40 degrees C for most part of the last fortnight.

Honestly, I am not really enjoying it - two weeks straight is enough for me with lowered coilovers, tyres with poor ride quality (Kumho KU36's) and -1.5 (front) and -3.0 camber (rear) on Adelaide's atrocious roads. Bouncing around inside the cabin like a wrecking ball and correcting the steering from tram lining isn't my idea of fun.

Ah, the joys of owning an Evo 6 :wub:
 
i havent been driving mine for a week so far, and I'm missing it baaad!!!

But when it's back, in two weeks or so, it'll have a new front end :)
 
I spent yesterday underneath my car changing the oil and filter when it was 43 degrees outside, and changing my wastegate actuator to boost controller solenoid vacuum line. The vacuum line split allowing up to 1.7 bar of boost into the engine, also in 43 degree heat. The boost cut kinda sounds cool though. Enjoying (driving, not working on) my car once again!
 
What's not to love about driving an Evo? even if driving to work isn't far enough for it to warm up to running temp. :(
 
I must be getting old or moody or something but mine has been sitting in the garage for like 3 weeks for no other reason than I am happy sloshing about in my Jeep with its sweet leather seats and lazy mans auto.
Also yesterday I had a hire car little A3 turbo diesel, boaring but so comfy and quiet.

Will have to psych myself up to love her again!
 
I have to drive my EVO every day and i'm not really into it!

Looking for a new daily as we speak though
