Thanks for the link.

too bad we only get the mr not the fq400 here in the states...eh rich kids would only blow them up anyway...

Plenty of tuners out there will give you 400 hp and more ...
and/or you can import an EVO 7 with all of the JDM goodies ... which is what one of our AX'ers did. Not sure about the EVO8's but his came with all of the hardware for Anti-lag built-in ... just had to put in a new ECU program to use it. He also installed custom center dif software so that he has a 35/65 split.

This Evo would certainly top the FQ400 ... for a lot less money. Well ... if you insist on wanting to drive it on the street, it would cost a bit more to federalize it. :D

^^is that a pic of the Evo7 you're talking about? He must have imported it from Europe.
| makofoto | 12-17-2004 01:04 AM |
What I said ... no, imported from Japan ... I think it was about $36K ... not street legal, not SCCA Solo II legal, except in the "race car" class (CM? rule book is in the garage) ... no US VIN number.
hmmm ... well for a while he had a Florida license plate on it ... I think they have a loop hole down there ?

Okay, I was just curious since the car is LHD. Great looking car though. I'd take a well sorted out Evo 7 over an Evo 8 FQ400 anyday.

that uk tv show is awesome, wish we had top gear here.
| speedyHAM | 12-17-2004 08:32 PM |
That show rocks. Just so everyone knows- they are playing old episodes on Speed these days. I catch it when I get the chance.
| JDM 3SGTE | 12-17-2004 08:37 PM |
the first picture seems right to me. since when is the little intake scoop on the hood on the right side of the car? the second one is the one that is reversed.
| scooby-stu | 12-17-2004 10:31 PM |
Yeah TopGear is bad i used to watch it in England all the time. Jeremy clarkeson (the presenter) is quite a driver himself! lucky bestard gets to test drive all the nice rides

They are playing Fifth Gear. Same producers (I think), but different show.

That was an awesome top gear segment. Too bad about the conclusion of the FQ400. They made it seem like the best car in the world for a second. Crazy price tag though. something like $47,000! yikes.

Yes, but that doesn't apply to the cars. If an EVO is 47,000 pounds, it is the equivalent of 47,000 dollars.

if that is the same one I saw in an autox a year or two ago at hollywood park, it was imported from a place in santa ana. Supposedly, that shop was importing them and stating that they were legal with licenses and everything, but didn't have the paperwork to back it up. They were also selling them for around 23k. does that guy also have an m roadster?

[QUOTE=needsboost2005]wow turbo lag ......[/QUOTE]While their demonstration makes for interesting TV it was meaningless. Every car, regardless of whether it has a turbo or not, has a power band. The EVO was in top gear which they said will do 175mph. Put any car that far below the power band and it won't accelerate.
Turbo lag refers to the delay between stepping on the gas pedal and when the turbo comes up on boost, even if the engine rpm is in the power band.

Sure it does. If you could import this car, it would cost you $47,000 pounds or a little over $91,000. Not sure what you meant by your statement.

Well, I have no real proof, but haven't searched for any either. I thought the same as you until b_tapper said otherwise in another thread about the fq400. He could be wrong, but since he is a scooby guru, I trust his word.
[QUOTE=b_tapper]Actually the japanese and american cars cost the same in us dollars as they do in pounds in england. The Prius is 19k pounds and the mustang is 25k pounds...same as they cost in the US[/QUOTE]

The numbers may be the same, but the [I]COST[/I] may be entirely different. You would have to take into acount a lot of different variables to decide what the true relative cost would be to each consumer in different economies. If something is not available to you, you must import it. If you have to import it, then you have to pay what it costs in the market in which it is available.
What you have to understand about the FQ400 is that it is a UK only car. It starts life as an FQ320 and then is modified by a couple of different UK tuners (Rampage being one that I remember off hand). To buy an FQ400, you would have to pay $91,000, or however many units of your domestic currency would equal 47,000 pounds.

I'm assuming he wasn't talking about importing and neither am I, but rather just the numbers.
Like if the fq 400 was offered in the states and the UK it would be $47,000 here and 47,000 pounds there respectively.

I understand what you are saying, and you're right. On cars available in both places, the numbers on the sticker are pretty much the same.
You were specifically talking about the FQ400. That's why I brought up the difference. ;)
