Hello my name is Eduardo, Iīm from Ecuador, South America and I own a Lancer Evo IX RS, I think it is a JDM one (but it is LHD). I have been a member of the forum for quite a while but just now decided to introduce myself and my car. I want to thank you all because you guys and this forum has been a great help for me when working on my car. Please forgive me for the low quality phone camera pics Well, enough for the intro, onto the pics...

 

Nice

Aren't you afraid about having an Evo in Ecuador?

 

Well... a little bit, the town where I live is not really known for car theft or anything like that, but I am very careful with my car just like I would in any part of the world

 

damn that's hot bro. i wish i could have an evo in the Dominican Republic.

 

Your 9 looks great! It's strange how the Evo's comes equipt differently depending on where it's sold. Your RS from what I can see compared to a U.S. RS's adds a rear spoiler, BBS Rims, JDM bumper and tails, auto climate control and ralliart components (unless you added those), and the only thing I don't see are the momo pedals.

 

Looks Awesome! That dash is unique! Never seen anything like that! (with the guages AND radio in 1!

Nice

 

nice nice bro u should go race some evos from Peru lol

 

good looking car

 

Nice car, it's def a JDM one..you can tell by the AC controls

 

Thanks! Yes it is very different from the RS sold in the US, mine came with power locks, mirrors, windows, rear spoiler, bbs wheels, abs brakes, climate control and it is LHD. I guess you could say it is a RS2 if such thing exists for evo 9. The ralliart lip I got from GRUPPE-S at a great price (thanks guys!) and the hood vent is actually the OEM one that I painted myself and added a decal (it looks really nice guys and I saved a lot of money )

 

You wouldnīt believe it but we have rally races here in Ecuador too, and a lot of people race Evos, from evo 4 to evo 9 and a few subarus Sti. Rally racing is actually a pretty big deal over here, specially in my hometown

 

Does it have an aluminum roof, and come from the factory with the vortex generator from your pic?

 

Thanks bro, I also like the dash setup, I had to purchase the gauges and stereo because the car came with neither, and a friend of mine owns an evo VII (I will have pics of both cars together soon to post) and I donīt really like the way his dash looks (no auto-climate on his)

 

I think thats the standard JDM / UK dash layout. I like it. Note the JDM climate controls, and when Jeremy tested the FQ400 it had an aftermarket looking stereo in it as well.

 

It does have an aluminum roof, but the vortex I added myself
