Doesn't look like an evo without the wing...and am I the only one who likes to have the door handles match the car.

 

thats about all i got to say.....

<Reduced the excess amount of smilies. No need for it.>

 

Someone will get a perm ban

It looks just the same as a regular one without the wing, nice usually lighter electric window controls and radio.

People that will get one will probably rip out the stock seats and extra plastic too, put roll bar etc.
They save $2500 which is great.
I still think this car should have come with steelies and save some more on the expensive Enkei rims.

Hope we can all benefit and get the front LSD off of this car!

 

Are we absolutely sure it even has the front LSD?

 

i feel the same way...its naked....the wing adds alot to the over all look of the car

 

gotta love those manual windows

 

in white it looks real good!!

 

excerpt from the press release:

November 4, 2003 -- Cypress, CA. -- For 2004, Lancer Evolution buyers may opt for leather front Recaro(R) seats, and they may opt for a 315-watt Infinity(R) sound system, complete with subwoofer. A limited number of brave souls may also opt for the latest trim level, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS.

If the lightweight, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive Lancer Evolution was not the right car for you, then the Lancer Evolution RS is even less right. But for racing purists, compact car tuners and hard-core driving enthusiasts, the best bang-for-the-buck sports sedan just got better. Thanks to numerous weight-saving measures, the Lancer Evolution RS tips the scales nearly 150 pounds lighter than the Lancer Evolution. Its featherweight status notwithstanding, the RS has also been blessed with quicker reflexes: a front helical-type limited slip differential and a rear crossbar help to improve the handling of one of the world's best-handling automobiles.

So that says 150, my contacts say closer to 185, which is why I've stated that. The difference will be clarified as soon as I hear back from them again. Sometimes OEMs will estimate the weight of a full tank of fuel and tack that onto or off of the curb weight. Marketing tactics.

AC comes as an option in the Urban Jungle Package, along with the Infinity system I think.

 

with the unmatched handles and mirrors, it looks like an ES. yuck.

 

Bahahahaha! if i get an evo ill pick up the RSII or "urban jungle"! Nice for us kids gettin outta college who can live without all the creature comforts, and i'd wanna put my own sound system in it myself.....I agree with a post made earlier, i wish they didn't put the enkies on there, but just steel wheels, could of saved a few more bucks, and i'd want to upgrade them anywayz!

 

Good luck trying to find steelies that will fit the Brembos. If there were, I would have bought some for the winter seasons.

 

With all the complaints I've heard about the paint quality on the mirrors, maybe this is not that bad after all. I would much rather have some color matched mirrors, but only if they were done right from the start at the factory.

 

can you even insure the evo RS in the us?

 

Wow does it look weird. I swear it looks like a sleeper. Oh well, I'm not going to get one anyway.
