Hello All
Loads of you will remember my readers ride for my mk1 Leon Cupra here:
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=277598 , no? Well you should it's had over 37,200 views! I was very fond of this car, pleasure owning it; unfortunately it came to a bitter end when the other half was challenged by a solid concrete pillar in a multi-story car park:
Thankfully the thread still exists even after some minor inconveniences experienced in the last 48 hours, it will remain to help any of you looking to modify your mk1 leon cupra, some very useful information provided and of course you are welcome to contact me for any specific details help, if I’m not occupied with changing nappies I’ll be more than happy to help.
Anyway, after a bit of thinking, I thought I can't be without a weekend 'fun' car so here it is, it may not be a SEAT but it sure is a true petrol heads car, it’s a ’95 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III
Many of you might not know they ever existed or perhaps seen one before as Evo’s were not officially imported to the UK until the Evo 6, All the ‘early’ (1-5) Evo’s are grey imports as they say. I’ve owned a few in the past and know them quiet well. Why a ‘3’ you might ask yourself, it’s not the prettiest Evo, but I sure do love ‘em, the old skool box’ish shape, the minimal ‘curves’ and raw appearance couple with the fact that this is basic technology at its best. The Evo III was driven by legendary rally car driver Tommi Makinen:

Who some of you may associate more with a Evo 6 TME. The early evo’s are basic in sense compared to the newer Evo’s where they don’t have many driving aids such as AYC (Active Yaw Control) which was introduced on Evo 4 onwards, The Evo 1-3 have just a raw all time 4WD system, a 2.0 ltr turbo lump, you and the car!, a true rally Group A and Group B (Evo 2) legend. Here’s a video from an early Top Gear episode this was an Evo 1:

Is it coming together now? Ok, let’s begin. After departing from my last Evo, an Evo 2 back in 2007, loads of water running under bridge since then, married, kids, leon, I decided to go back to an Evo, and here it is:
