Evo 7....... 1 din or 2 dins?

Sup guys.

I've been looking around for EVO7 pics and noticed that there are a few EVO7s with the climate control knobs moved to the lower part of the center console, giving the headunit a 2-din space. Are those custom made? Or factory A/C-button-moving option? Does anyone know? thanks.

I feel like 1 din is just not enough.

There is a two din option that relocates the climate control knobs like you said.

is there a similar option for the US Lancers? Or will it be offered for US-sped EVO7s?

If anything it may be similar to the Lancer that's here in the US now much like the Cedia/Evo overseas. As for whether or not the DIN slot size will be an option...I think that'll require an actual Owners Manual or dealer options sheet from...argh...damn you for this suspense.

the E7s come with both 1 and 2 din. I don't know why they do this but I would get the one with the double din. You can then fit one of those LCD screens which give you the temp/boost/pressure readings negating the need for dials just like the GTR-34

Here are 2 pictures, 1 with 1 din and 1 with 2 dins.





Notice that when you get the 2-din conversion option, the knobs are smaller (and looks better). I DEFINITELY HOPE that the US EVO7 will have the 2-din option. If not I'll probably have to buy the parts from Japan and do a custom conversion

I'm sure everyone wants 2-dins. What can you do with....... 1 din? a headunit and you're full!

Oh I hope mistubishi does the right thing for their consumers and make it 2 din!!!
One thing is too cheap and plain...I need to place an equalizer too!

I also found out...

I think all GSRs (1-din or 2-din) use the smaller round A/C control knobs rather than the RS control dials as shown........ another reason why GSR is better.

Correction, that's another reason why the GSR is better [/i]for you[/i] than the RS/RS-II might be.

Don't forget the RS's were not made with comfort and/or banging stereos in mind. They were meant to be more raw than a GSR.

For someone who is looking to enter their EVO7 into a professional rally, an RS is definitely the better choice.

agreed.

I meant that the GSR is a better car to take straight to the streets. If you're talkin about professional racing, RS is definitely the choice (that's the reason they exist)
