i need help locating an official document stating the 2003 Evolution VIII's limited production status. i am looking for an official mitsubishi document stating the exact production numbers for 2003. this is to help me get collectors plates in ohio to avoid the echeck as well as having to have a cat, and a front license plate. any help in locating this will be greatly appreciated.


i did a search on here and found some people who posted the numbers, unfortunately i need something from mitsubishi, not from evolutionm.net.

thank you

 

call mitsu corporate and ask them...1-888-648-7820 That's who I called to find out if there was any record of VIN vs. production number.

 

thanks for the info, i have written them a letter and enclosed a copy of the ohio collectors plates requirments, i will be sending it tomorrow. i guess i will try to call them as well. i was hoping someone else has already gone through this and knows where to find the info online or could send it to me via email


keep em coming

 

regardless of the plate status, it's a federal offense to remove the cat, also an offense to replace it with a non stock one under a certain mile amount ( i think 50k).

wish ya best of luck with that endevor though.

 

Please be sure to post any official production number results you get.

Good info to have.

thanks

 

Official productions numbers for 2003 are 6,500 according to cars.com

 

Mitsu publishes sales figures. Here's the archive:

Unfortunately, they didn't break it down my model in '03 like they do now. E.g., they only sold 539 Evos in Jan/Feb this year.

 

interesting, i hadn't heard that, thanks for the heads up, luckily here in ohio the cops aren't hardasses about that kind of stuff, its more for the echeck than anything else

 

will do if i manage to find it or get the info from mitsu

 

i thought it was just an offense to replace a working cat with another one, u actually have to replace it with a stock one?

 

yeah same here, I have never heard that before. And some high-flow cats are advertised as 50 state legal.

 

Dont tell the Cops IN SOCAL that , they let me go when I told them I had a hi-flo

 

ttt

 

under a certain mileage, it has to be stock.... i'll see if i can drum up the link to the code where it was posted.
