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

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.

I wonder why would design and improve the BOV and give us the old one?

Anyway this thread needs to be moved backed to General up until large quanities of MR's are released and posted People needs to see that oil cooler Do we have two oil coolers now? Or is that front mount oil cooler an option in Japan?
