Congrats, keep this in mind before you guys start ragging on out "normal" evo's this doesn't make you superman, you now have some new and rather fragile components. Good luck

 

you're right. i haven't even heard my mr turbo spool up and i'm calling it the king of the world. on the other hand i can say that it's not the same as my 03 gsr. mr is smooth, 03 is animal.

 

I just got mine and with 20 miles on it I floored it on sixth gear and heard the spool, but nothing drastic, I hope that was ok

 

warrantee void! lol seriously there were several schools of thought on break-in or lack thereof when the 03's came out. i was dared into quite a few "challenges" whilst breaking in my 03 and i did accept them. (the little boy in me). you'll be ok.
p.s. i am not a regional warrantee rep though

 

Just call Shiv.

 

Congrats on the MR!

 

My friend down @ georgetown in Washington DC said he saw a couple MRs. WTF is that? Does that mean they're just making their way up the right coast? Does that mean they've reached Baltimore already? God damnit, I wish I knew where my GSR was.. BLARGH.

 

I'm not reading the entire thread, but it sure looks to me like the tails are the same as the 8... altezzas forever!!!!!

 

can't wait till I got my EVO 8 MR RS, will be much lighter then the GSR which they get in the UK, weight will be 2925 inclusive big brakes, bbs wheels and bilstein suspension.
The car will be lighter then my former EVO VI RS2! Unbelievable as cars become heavier and heavier nowadays..

will be delivered probably in December..

 

Pete3kGT,

In think the MR's BBS wheels look excellent with the red paint. It's a very nice contrast. I originally wanted the grey MR. But since I've seen both in person I prefer the red. The grey paint with the grey BBS wheels is a little to monotone for me. Personal preference, you know. However, I think the standard blue seats would look better with the grey. What's with blue seats in a red car? I think is trying to save money in a strange way

 

Well - MRs are here in Miami Florida just came back from Kendall MItsu they have only a silver in showroom.

Think I'll pass on it.

 

Hey Turbo Ron,
What is up with the MR being in Miami and not here in Ft.Lauderdale.
They told me that I was supposed to be the first one to recieve mine in Florida.
I just don't get it. Miami is farther south than me and the truck was supposed to come from up north so it would have to pass through FT. Lauderdale before it got to Miami. I need to call the GM and tell him that I'm very upset that Kendal Mitsubishi has an MR and i had a deposit on the car since end of May or beg of June.

my local dealership (in jersey, btw) already has all their '05s. GSRs, RSs, MRs included.

 

that is one sweet looking car.
