Don't worry about you being in WA - i'll be happy to send it on to you registered post for cost price.

Anyway, i've emailed Chris for you and will let you know when he comes back to me.
Thanks heaps!

Are you invloved in a postal system for your life bread?
Yeah, it is the mounting cup

Evo8oz - The oil catch can is greatly useful to keep the engine bay clean from grit and oil that may and can get into the turbo and intake. The last time i had oil on my turbo, the fins stood right up after a couple of autokhanas. Oil doesn't really help keeping the turbo cool - really just a maintainance thing, nothing to do with performance.
I highly recommend a set of braided brack lines too!! Will keep your brakes running strong, smooth and fade free as long as possbile.

btw, you all may want to check the status of your Evo mats. I've been told by the spare parts guy at my dealer that they are still several weeks away and they are loaning me a set of VRX mats in the mean time.

Sorry, you said something about registered post cost price - not sure if your were involved in doing that stuff at a cheaper level. Is all. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll find out about the mats today - my dealer seems to think we can have a full set of accessories in WA by early next week, but I am not really convinced

Thanks again

Mats ARE all on backorder!! So are some of the accessories, but others are ok. So for me some accessories will be available but some are not.

I think the Strut brace, door plates, and accent plates are not available as well as the floor mats.

So I think the Ground kit, the brake cooler and brake pedals are ready to go. But don't quote me on that.

The brouchure says that "brand the Lancer EVO name"

But, hey it is a Lancer after all. I think the only thing on the whole car that says Evo or Evolution is the badge on the rear!

Congratulations for having a levelhead. It is a Lancer, just with more bits.. Please keep it that way, and don't change that thought to anything else.

Pete.

Just been at the dealer. These cars look AWESOME in the flesh. Very intimidating. There were a few WRX's parked nearby, and they pale in comparison visually.

The yellow and the black look great.
