Yes Mark has known Peter for a long time as friend and driving coach. Good news, we will be doing not just a walk around review like Larry did, but a proper on-road review of the amazing Hakusoka GTR. And some other treasures in Peter's collection - there's a 240Z that is unbelievably mint. How does that sound?
Nice review. The car was a homologation special for GroupA WRC that's why it has that aero. To run the aero in the GroupA WRC it had to be on the road car. The top wing is even adjustable for angle. That car is an import even more collectable are the Ralliart Australia delivered EVO6 TME RS2. The test car could run 20-22 psi boost no problem (would give around 220kW at the wheels) with stock everything (needs the upgrade exhaust) just by turning the boost up and would be very impressive to drive compared to the stock boost.
These are collectable and worth a fair bit nowadays Out of reach of most people What a humble owner of the EVO who sold his 22B Great Man and very fortunate
I really like how you are talking with the owners at the beginning of some vids. A mate had an EVO5 with some mods. Was extremely fast but not enjoyable to be in to be honest, and the tiny 50l fuel tank would be empty really fast. The later cars do seem to be a lot more practical.
Personally I find the EVO a much better car for driving fast than the WRX. Much better turn in and just a lot sharper all round. Those EJ Subarus are just a head gasket and a gearbox failure waiting to happen if you drive them hard. The EVO just loves it. Beautiful example that car and the only blue one I've ever seen. 👌👍🍺
that's harsh. You might be out on your own with that one. Maybe you just have very high standards. Keen to hear your thoughts. I might regret asking this but what in that kind of price and performance range would you consider to be a non-garbage, non-boring car? (Fingers crossed you're not going to opine a 4x4 diesel HiLux, Ranger or a Walkinshaw)
Ah the internet cliches about headgasket and gearboxes... Subaru gearboxes were only an issue back in the early GC models with 5 spd Also headgaskets are mostly problematic on the ej25 A closed deck ej207 is pretty much bulletproof
I jumped on the subscribe button because I'm an Australian Evo X owner. *and because these lads are the same age as me* Is this the road up the hill from FTG?
Enjoyable review there, interesting to hear different perspectives from the usual young RUclipsrs One point though, I'm not sure how the owner believes they are a value proposition today They're selling for almost more than when new and are based on an economy car Many current hot 4 cylinder cars like the golf R, Audi s3 etc would annihilate an old evo
Thanks Art. We've found that sometimes there is little correlation between outright performance and price / collectibility. Evo VI TME will surely hold its value better than some of those better performing cars you mentioned. Rarity and being in original condition is the key. I just can't see an Audi S3 as being collectible.The Dino 246 GT we reviewed is no match for a Hyundai i20N in performance terms, but it's worth probably 15 times as much and continues to increase. But I think you're right about the some WRXs being good value.
Despite being over 20 yrs old, a stock standard Evo 6 TME is around as quick as a brand new Golf R in a straight line (4.9 seconds). The AWD system in the Evo is actually based on a competition car unlike the inferior Haldex system used on the VW platforms. I used to own a MK7 Golf R and in terms of fun and engagement, the Evo is miles ahead. The interior is dated for sure but most people buy those cars for the driving experience.
Nice to see an older bloke admire and appreciate these 'JDM' cars
Is this the same man who was interviewed by Larry Chen? this guy is a legend. my kinda car guy

This has been my dream car for almost 20yrs
I’m lucky I got to drive it, great car
lucky enough to have a TME and a STI V5 coupe. Both are different animals and suit a particular mood you are in at the time
You have them on your PlayStation game?
@@ArtVandelayOfficial no real things.
@@GAZZZA19790you should make a few videos with your cars
The evo 6 GSR is the one to have .. I have had all but the GSR ticks all the boxes 👌👌
This is a Great Post.Thanks.👍
Thats a good looking car, I have the same car, same color and decals, In Norway =)
These are collectable and worth a fair bit nowadays
Out of reach of most people
What a humble owner of the EVO who sold his 22B
Great Man and very fortunate

Thanks Mark. And Peter certainly has stories to tell about his amazing cars. And that deep radio voice.
This car is my dream car
In my opinion the value buy right now for these type of car is the jdm Subaru blob eye and hawkeye sti/spec C at around 35-40K
I really want that Ralliart hat
I have a question I have been hearing a lot say that certain parts for these cars are getting hard to find could someone tell me what are these parts?
Hey Stu an you ask Stu if he remembers a comparison of the Evo 6 TME and the Ferrari F360 in Evo magazine in 2000?
I'll ask Mark. I didn't see it. That would be quite appropriate as Mark knows the F360 very well.
nice car
Personally I find the EVO a much better car for driving fast than the WRX. Much better turn in and just a lot sharper all round.

personally i find them both to be garbage and a bore to drive

@@jtspikyI’ve never watched a review from any motorist journalist who have said a TME is boring to drive, have you ever driven one !

Is this the road up the hill from FTG?
Mainly shot on the Bells Line and the road to Mt Wilson and beyond. What's FTG?

Didn’t realise the front edge section of the Recaros are adjustable?
Ordering a TME in blue is like ordering a Lamborghini in rosso corsa 😂
That's an amusing analogy. I take your point. Yeah Mitsubishi Electric Blue is quite similar to Subaru WR Blue.
where is this located ?
Blue Mountaint, NSW, Australia. Bells Line of Rd
Love the way he said Honda nsx and then the 6 i still have both cars☠
