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.
No prob. All the TME RS's were white, and the JDM GSR's were availible from the factory with a special coloring package which were the red ones with rally decals. So they may be considered RS2's. That 5000 should be GSR's and RS's. RS's are always more rare than GSR's in every year of production, usually it's about 85% of Evo's are GSR/RS2. RS2's did come with the power windows and locks and A/C and GSR interior, but ussually without AYC, and had RS gearing.

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).

Thanks! You ever see WALL.E? Yeah that fast, powerful girl robot EVAAAAAAAA! gave me the idea. LOL. :P

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!!!
