Other than the ECU and maybe a couple parts to help the air flow better, isn't our cars the same as the FQ's, suspension, drivetrain, motor? If the parts can handle 354bhp in the UK Im sure the same parts can handle 354bhp in the US and therefore should be warrantied the same!

Oh ya, Gumbo, Very nice car.
actually the FQ versions are UK only versions manufactured by Colt Motors of UK. RalliartUK was the one who started it all producing the evo extreme, zero fighter, etc. with the evo VI to evo IX until Colt motors took the helm with the VIII.

Honestly if it were me, id spend $60 and take a round trip from here to orlando, only takes 6 hours and will put on roughly 600 miles. To take 6 hours out of my day to cruise around and show off my car and be able to tear *** with it the next, completely worth it!

Congrats on the car, GL with it!

Hmm i think they did like me, got to the bottom of the first page and figured it was the end of the thread not noticing that there was already 8 pages

Eitherway the cars sick and those badges are hella nice compared to what we get!

Though i do have one question, do all models get the roof mounted Defuser? i swear we only got the one under the bumper here in the US, atleast thats all i saw on the GSR at my dealer.

Looks so sick!

You should really look into getting side and rear aero kit pieces to complete the look, and maybe even some better rims like Advans.

^^+1 million...you're in desperate need of the rest of the OEM aero kit. That front lip alone just looks silly, not sure why they wouldn't include the whole kit...anyway nice ride!

I think the Evolution badge is the same, it's just on the left of the trunk instead of the mitsubishi badge there and the addition of the "X" and the FQ-360 badge. The evolution badge looks the same though.

Hey Gumbo, seeing as you're the only Brit posting with a X, would you mind doing me a favour? Pop off your tow hook access cover and take a look behind it and tell me what's there. Does it look like this?
