Hi,

Well, actually not so new, I own an Evo since 2010 and I registered here in 2012. But I was never very active, for early Evos, Lancer Register forum is more interesting. But now, things have changed, I just bought a X RS.

Let me introcue myself : I am from France and I have this "thing" for the Evos for a long time now. Since 1998 or something like that.
In 2010, I bought my first Evo, a JDM 5 GSR imported from UK.
2 years later, it was sold and replaced by a 6 TME LHD that I still own.
Lately, I wanted to switch for something newer... Well I did not switch at all, I just kept the old one and got a X RS.

And here I am !

Thanks for posting up Im a member of the LR. That forum group is close knit & is centralized in Europe so I understand

We also have a Euro, NZ & Australian base so we look fwd to seeing you more often

Can you post up a pick of this EVOX RS?

Cheers, Joe

Thanks !

Of course, you will see me more often now... we don't have that many X in France

Some pics (bad quality, I am not a professionnal !!!) :








Interior is basic, you will notice that climate control button is there... but not active.
Only modification are the switch for the lamp pod that was fitted on the car :








Same engine as other X :


ABS system is there, but not active :



Pod lamp mounting points and modifications (pod was not coming with the car) :

welcome. Wow the X Rs are truely stripped of everything. They never made it here to the US. The exact opposite is here where Xs outnumber the CT9As. One advantage you have in France is you have access to a lot of Evos that never made it to the US.

Even if all the Evos were not officially sold in France, a lot of 5, 6 and 7 were imported privately.

And in the end, import seems to be easier here than in the US... so, we have many ways to find our Evos

For instance, my TME comes from Sweden and this X comes from Belgium.

I'm more interested in the TME! Post some pictures of that bad boy! I'm an early Evo nut and I chose the IV since they are rare stateside. I'm in Florida.

Nice one !

We don't see Evo 4 or earlier version very often on France. Only UK has imported a lot of them.

Here is the TME :











However, I am in the process of restoring it back to its original condition.
