Lancer Evolution IX FQ-360 | [MERGED]
The reason it is so much is 2 fold.
A: Interests rates are currently insane, every time my parents come they're like Japanese tourists, they buy every electrical product in site, because to them it is cheap.
B: Cars are way more expensive in the UK. The average Joe car is probably around $25k+. And when you consider that the average Joe car is tiny compared to the US market (it's a 3 door Yaris), you'll get the idea.
When I told my Dad how much the Evo was over here, he even toyed with importing one back to blighty.
Can we stop sack ridding other countries Evos? Is the SE not enough? I mean who really keeps their Evo stock anyway? Wow it has some funky Recaros, most stateside tuners are putting out way more power for less money, and SAYC....well is just one more thing people cry about when they're putting down 400whp and wonder why their TC blew at the drag strip. Is anyone ever gonna be happy with just having Evos stateside?

Reduction is compressor inlet diameter? Does anyone know why they would do this?
