Hello themothership. We do have a Motorsports section: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/fo...?s=&forumid=15

I might leave the thread here if you can tell us why the Evo is being delayed by a month or so.

 

Its complex, but basically because the rear spoiler is hand-made by a vendor which I can not disclose they are having difficultly making enough to meet the worldwide demand for EVO8 in Japan, United States and Europe. As such additional tooling was required and is the reason for delay in shippment.

 

That answers that question. I guess this thread is staying

 

Thanks for the reply!

Looks like Fireball was correct.

 

thanks momship

Question - is there an article on this rally anywhere? I can only find a kickoff article at Autoweek here:

Thanks for the info

 

themothership, is that Evo a JDM Evo VIII with ACD? The headlights tell me it is, but that may not mean anything.

 

Hello Mothership,


Bring ACD!!!!!

Ok, there, I said it.

Great to see Mitsubishi doing so well in the U.S. Evo. Just for the record, I think I'm leaning more towards the Evo again (a little anecdotal evidence, anywho).

Is this the same series that does the Rim of the World rally in Palmdale, or is that a stand alone event?

Again, congrats...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I would almost always guarrenty that this is the JDM VIII, but there is always the possibility look LHD
