They are still embossed with 'Lancer'- just not 'Ralliart' - are a hell of a lot cheaper, and are available now.

They fit perfectly.
That's what I have asked for on the car on behalf of all of the Perth owners, until my Ralliart Plush mats arrive late next month. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

The dealership finally rang my father and told him that they still are not getting white but they have one in blue that he can buy if he wants so I am going with him to check it out this afternoon.

Had a quick drive. Initial impressions:
Handles awesome, very neutral to taily.
Very responsive
Certainly not slow!
Dashboard and stereo look awful, need to all be red.

Thats about all for now, until its run in

I'm had the car for 6 full days now, and i'm up to 800kms. The car's gearbox and engine are freeing up nicely and those mates/rellies that I have allowed a quick test fang to just can't believe how nice it is.

Diff and/or gearbox seems a bit whine-ey, but i'm sure that will settle down with more k's.

I AGREE!!!!

I am very very happy that I have the Evo rather then going down the STI line. I drove an STI to the dealer and drove an Evo home! Very impressed with the low down torque and the handling is awesome!!!!

Go YELLOW!!

Hey BTevo8,
Have you heard any new news of when the evo's will hit Brissie???? I was told today that we may have to wait until September !!!!! But we may get the washer/indicator storks changed to the correct sides for free because of the amounts of angry evo investors up here. Also you better check your leather option (if you are getting it) because they have stuffed that up aswell.

They are already in Brisbane. Nundah Mitsubishi had a blue one on display a couple of days ago that the said was ready to go. My father was told he has to wait until September because he wants white.

Thanks astondq,
I'm waiting for a silver evo with leather through the Cleveland dealership. Hope they are ready soon...
