I decided to get an 08 evo this will be my first mitsu car.
Currently own 2zz-ge toyota.
coming from n/a world I hear once you own a turbo car you never want to go n/a right?

I will be in Japan this winter since my wife is Japanese, it will be an awesome opportunity to check the car while I am there, talk to some Japanese evo fans etc..
Now will the Japanese specs are exaclty the same for US or US is going to be detuned? or should I just buy the car in Japan and ship it here?
also which one to buy 5speed or the new TC-SST clutch system?

 

SST for me

sample, there selling RS models already.

 

^wow! thanks for this post

First time saw an evoX and i can tell i will wait because in 1 of the videos they say a purist form RS will be available for fans later on. White color and black grill look so good.

COME ON MITSU SEND SOME RS INTO US

 

"we will be getting them in late jan to early feb. any questions, ask me."

"tell them more about the 12.7 quarter mile time.....**** hope i didnt get you into trouble hahaha"

Is there something we don't know??

 

Finally, a white EVO X. Tired of seeing red.

 

Where'd you see that?? What!!

 

test drive one if you can.

 

I will for sure, will get my AAA international license as well

 

any interior pics/vids would be nice too

 

cool I'll remember this thread when I get to Japan in Dec.

 

Driving to work this morning ( Ogikubo, Tokyo ) the Mits. dealer I passed was unloading 5 x new EVO 10's from a Car transporter

You'll need an international drivers licence to drive in Japan, if you plan on taking an X for a test-drive

There haven't been any SS-T's built yet, only RS and GSR 5-speeds

I'll be staying in Adachi-ku. Tokyo

AAA is right around the corner from my home in Seattle. I'll make sure to get my license.
I'll be visiting http://www.Brashboy.net as well cause its right around the corner from Adachi. for my 2zz-ge adventure.

Graham is that you. I've purchased some parts from you for my matrix
is Ogikubo located on the Chuo line? I usually use metro instead of JR cause its chepaer plus my station where I am going to be is Kita-Senju.
I can get to Shibuya no problem not that far anyways.

 

Yes, one and the same! You're not that far from us by train

OK; from Kita-Senju: get on the Yamanote ( Central circular ) line at Nippori; and head in Shinjuku direction

Change at Shinjuku onto the Chuo line and Ogikubo is 6 x stops from Shinjuku; about 40-50 minutes from Kita-Senju once you get on the train there
Take the North Exit at Ogikubo station ( KITA in Japanese, the same kanji as Kita-Senju )

Strongly suggest you phone 1st and make an appointment to visit as this time of year I am out of the office a lot

Sure; if you get the chance, come visit

Best!
