Official "RS" Owners Gallery / Thread
I know that Tilton makes in car bias adjustment knobs, that pair up with their proportioning valves. So racecars can adjust front to rear brake bias on the fly during a race. i don't think there is a bolt on replacement, so some custom brake lines might need to built.I just want a little more front brake, and a little less rear. quoted from another evo forum

Thanks for the info! They were selling the Evo 6 TME RS here in the Philippines too, all white. Though I saw some original LHD TMEs in red wearing the rally decals too so I dont know if these were RS2 models or what.
I am looking for the article in one of our local magazines about the 5 RS, about it being made in a separate factory from the production line with 5000 units worldwide produced. Maybe this goes for both GSR and RS but our local shops tell me that the Evo 5 RS is even more rare than the GSR model.
I also saw a few 6.5 TME here colored gray being sold brand new way back, with power windows and Recaros with an etched Tommi Makinen Edition on it. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that these are RS2 models since they never came out with LHD GSR models.

+1 Beautiful RS...love your choice in wheels. Just out of curiosity are you Migs on Honda-Tech.com? Did you used to have an ITR?
I'm the 2nd owner of a *mint* WW 06 EVO IX RS with only 9k miles.
Only upgrades include:
-alarm (with remote start + front power door lock actuators)
-tinted windows
-2 set of wheels (Kosei K1 TS and OEM Enkeis)
-K&N panel filter
-DC Sports catless downpipe (still have the OEM exhaust manifold and cat)
-JDM EVO VII tail lights
-OEM EVO CD head unit with Memphis front door speakers
-OEM MR Bilsteins w/ Swift Sport springs (not installed)
-no name 3" catback exhaust (not installed)
It's mostly been a garage queen, but I do want to start driving and enjoying it more. I've taken it to the drag strip and road course once each and have done a handful of AutoXs. I'm really love this car. I've owned a lot of cool cars, but this is easily the best. There is a slight possibility I may have to sell it if things go downhill at work (pay reduction). Cross your fingers for me.
First day I got her (I call her Eva).
More recent pics before Eva's winter hibernation

Good looking car Bounty! I like the name Eva, lol. I'm not the guy on Honda-Tech though I did start off with Honda's, I had a 93 HB b16 supercharged. Get those struts and springs installed! You will love the swifts!
I came from Hondas then Subarus (I still have love for both). I had a 92 CX hatch that I swapped in a B18C1. Ran pretty good with bold ons. Then I picked up an Integra Type R. After that a WRX sedan then later an STi.
Yeah I'm waiting for it to warm up a little. What alignment specs do you guys recommend? I do some AutoX and track days on the roadcourse.
Oh and since we're using this thread for "RS" discussion as well as pics I have some questions.
1) Does anyone have some official production numbers from Mitsu for the RS? I've heard the IX RS are as low as 358 units...basically split up WW and RR evenly.
2) What is the official weight of the RS? I thought I saw something in the low 3000 lbs range posted.
Thanks...now add more pics people! I definitely want to see more hi-res photos of VIIs please!!!
