Don't get me wrong, the car still looks sweet, but it's not quite as close to an Evo MR as I think you want it to be.
Haha yeah i think there's a big difference. But i dont expect to make this thing into an MR so it's all good.

Congrats! Nice to see someone actually got one and can report on it, instead of just speculating -lol. So now it's been a couple days, any updates? Still liking it, anything you don't like, etc? btw - how does it drive around town (below 4000 rpm)? I ask because it seems like these were tuned for better DD, with peak torque at 3000, is that the case? thanks!

I love it. The torque comes on nicely in the low RPMs and the engine seems to have no problem spinning the turbo. I really want to open it up, but i'd like to break it in first. If I had to change one thing it would be the wheels. Mitsu should have given the ralliart its own wheel design.

He lied, Tier 1 is 750+

Local dealership said none until next month. I fell like I live in those places that didn't get phone service until like 10 years after the rest of the country. My local shop pretty much sucks. They've had Evo's for a while now and bottom line is that they aren't selling them. I wouldn't be surprised if my 67 cent purchase at their parts shop was the only sale they made today

i agree. RA is has a weird combination of looking like an econobox that tries to be sporty. the GTS wheels, narrow body, high ride, ugly rear bumper absolutely kill it.

The evo does look better, but wasnt the best choice for me.

I'm hoping with some coilovers and wheels it'll look better. I agree though, they could have spent a little more time on its appearance.
