Hey is there any way to tell what type of evo8 you have. I'm talking about like th MR or the others? I know this is a stupid question but wanting to know. Thanks everyone

 

Basically if you bought your EVO before May 2004 you have a standard EVO 8. The EVO RS, however, just recently came out. The difference is the RS has no spolier, alot of weight saving features, and no power anything(windows, door locks, etc). The EVO MR comes out in 2005.

 

If you have manual windows you have an RS. If you have 6 speeds then you have an MR. If not either, then you have a regular EVO.

 

ok thanks I noticed some of the different types on the evo7 and I thought it might be the same for the evo8

 

the 'regular' evo is also classified as a USDM GSR

 

ok cool thanks jotan82

 

i beleive the USDM evo is the GSR model since we now have an rs and soon an MR

 

Don't know if it's the same for the US, but the RS has black door handles and is only available in white, whereas the GSR has body coloured. Here, the RS does have a spoiler, but the interior is basic (non-recaro seats)...no electrics, no ACD, S-AYC...and also has 15" steel rims

 

I'm sure they'll stick some sticker on the back or something, since it's hard to tell the difference from MR to Regular... well besides the gunmetal paint.

 

ok thanks to all that replied this post can be closed

 

so our usdm evo is a GSR?

 

well the GSR is the base spec Japanese car, and as I understnad, the American car is altered from this, so I'm not sure if it can be called the GSR

 

The rs here can be red or white... and black handles/side mirrors. You can add A/C and stuff -- The "Urban Jungle" package. I think the MR (out in the Fall) will be available in a darker, graphite-type gray, which I wish I had!

In the US, the "regular" Evo has no ACD or AYC....

 

the MR is also availabel in Red, White and Silver....however the UK evo VIII isn't available in blue, and you (the US) have an VIII which is, so you may have more MR colours.

 

interesting... does it have rear drum brakes too?
