Do you have the notchy third gear? How's your tranny feel in the colder weather there?

haha, actually the car does attract a lot of attention! I am very surprised by that. I've been getting lots of people tailing me, driving beside me, and just staring at intersections. I guess a lot of people didn't realize the Evo is finally here? Last night I had some kids tailing me on No.3 Road in Richmond for three blocks!

Vancouver Evo meet sounds good, but I don't think there's any other owners on the board here yet! I think in Richmond, there's just me! haha

Give it another month or so. The dealers just got their second shipment of GSR's, so there should be more on the street soon.

I haven't had a problem with the notchy transmition, from what i've read, people who break there cars in hard don't see this at all with the evo, and thats what i did. I didn't baby the car while breaking it in. Redlined it the first KM of driving and couldn't be happier 2000 KM's later.

ill take some daytime pics. when the weather gets better. the phantom black is diff. not a solid black. its more like dark grayish when sun or light hits it. and if you really look closer to the paint you'll notice sparkles.

Congrats, I was so hyped when I heard the evo was coming to Canada and was close to putting down a deposit. Just can justify paying 10k more for the same car when our dollar is worth more, terrible ripoff.

I think I'm going to go for patience and wait for next years MR in the hopes the price evens out and mods start to appear for the MR.

DJ Man you gotta get those wheels powder coated already! They would look awesome with the black.

LOL! The GTS wing is kinda annoying! If Mitsubishi wasn't going to give us a better looking wing, they might as well have not put anything on and reduced the price!

Have you seen the Voltex kit? I think it's pretty subtle. Here's the thread and a pic:
