can anyone tell me when the evo 8 mr is coming to usa or when its hitting san jose? because i want one so bad and to all the guys with the MR can u tell me if its better or worst and whats the difference thanks alot!

 

It should be hitting dealership doors on 15th of Oct. Nobody has an MR yet, so I don't think anyone could give you a 1st hand experience (except for evoneil but he works for motortrend). Anyways differences are:
1. 6 speed tranny
2. BBS lighter wheels
3. Bilstein shocks
4. Vortex generator
5. Aluminium roof (also on the RS)
6. Sport pedals and shift knob standard
7. 3 gauge pod standard ....
I might have missed out a few things but you can find lots of info in the future evo models under the general forum ....

Later

 

here's what it's missing for those who care:

leather, sunroof, infinity sound system(i think)

 

3 gauge is not standard, and neither is the vortex. it' spart of a package.

 

nvrmind

 

if they are making only 1000, wouldnt make any sense to have any options

 

dude i thought there was no options for the MR edition but apparently the vortex genertor and gauges, etc are part of some option.......whatever the case its wackness

 

Just a FYI. Concord Mitsubishi Dealer of Northern California are expecting 10 MRs to arrive tomorrow (Wed. 10/6/04).

I went there this morning to look at a 04 RS I want to purchase and they told me about the 05 MRs. I asked the salesman about the markup price, but we laughed about it instead. He wasn't sure anyways.

BTW....I'm newbie here.

 

yeah, but even if they list the package as optional, i bet every single MR comes with it.

 

you forgot the mr exclusive badge

 

people on here have been expecting their delivery since early last month

 

are MR badges available thru the dealer parts network? I wanna get them, and fool myself....and maybe a couple a dummies
