Markimaks Rover and EVO... can move to appropriate section :D

[markimak]

Well today i had a day off uni. and instead of slaving away in books like ive been doing for the last four days i decided i would give the new toy her first service, :tongue:

after assembling some steering parts, and throttle linkages, the next step was to service her..



now the first service is very important, with all new vehicles..

and this baby is no exception



... so naturally only the best 4 Stroke engine oil will do

now u might be thinking wtf.. penrite oil? shes the recommended spec :thumbsup:

with the oil being topped up to the mark..

next was to assemble and fit the catch can..

now you guys are catching on (pun)

this is the lowest setting on the 6inch plastic spinners.. i may get some chromies at a later date, but these are extremly lightweight and would be highly soughtafter in the evo scene.. but alas wrong stud pattern boys..

and the final product ready for a weekend of hard work in the yard... :biggrin:

the engine has a 2 year warranty, 550cc of raw 4 stroke power. aluminum block and head, OHV and the piston is sleeved with a nice layer of steel for reliability..

note the CAI away from the exhaust on the steering rack.. clean air for when the going gets tough.. and dusty.. :laugh:

shes a beaut and will serve me in attacking the grass every weekend, as my last one died of high heat, stress, age and detonation, so guys check ur AFRs... :laugh: :woot:

Don't like the rims on it .. too plastic-like.

Stock suspension kit gets a thumbs up.

ok guys upon further inspection i think i might get a power increase if i replace the panel filter with a K&N or ralliart equivalent..

what do u think? maybe a pod filter

ok jokes aside looks to be a good bit of kit. 4year warranty on engine, 6year body and lifetime catcher...

[Macca]

run a pod filter, sit it ontop for CAI godness!

Nice colour but a bit too much bling for me! Might want to turbocharge it!:p

I'll Challange you to a race..... You mow the grass at the GABBA, and I'll mow at the SCG..... See who can finish first... :D
