Amen! Want to break it in properly? Generate some heat.

Does it come with the MR BOV from Japan or the cheap plastic one?

Regarding the ride quality question, yeah it was pretty stiff at low speed, coming out of the driveway with the pavement meets curb deals, you feel it, but the chassis just felt nice and stiff, as I have not been in an evo before this so I cant comment on the bilsteins. At speed, the handling is insane with instant turn in.

Not sure on the Blow off valve question..

Just pop the hood and look at the BOV.

Metallic finish = JDM MR BOV
Black Plastic = US Spec EVO BOV

Manhattan,

Here's a pic of both BOVs. The JDM MR BOV is on the right. We want to know if your MR has the BOV on the right.

Anyway this thread needs to be moved backed to General up until large quanities of MR's are released and posted
