Evo X brochure (japanese)
Anyone here a MLR member? I pmed the guy (DaveG) who posted the scanned brochur on LancerRegister. He told me the HIGH Res copies are in this link www.lancerregister.com/art_article.php?id=122 but you have to be a paid member to view. its 35Euro's, what is that like 50 bucks in dollars or someting?
The JDM RS has never had Recaro's. Historically the JDM RS also had 15" steel wheels and small brakes (not Brembo). The rationale was that these cars would be the basis for track or rally machines - owners would replace the production car items with race seats, wheels, and brakes . The US market RS was never so hardcore.

hi everyone!
this is my 1st post here and i want to tell everyone that i have been in love with this car. I love the new roundish look rather than squarish looks and i want to give mitsu
for bringing this evoX. I will trade my brand new si sedan by the end of 2008 and hopefully have a silver color 5MT evoX. I love it so much that i brwose all those japnese browsers just to understand even a little bit
would brembo brakes and BBS wheels come with a regular 5MT evo?
thanks

As an auto magazine journalist, I was fortunate to see the unveiling of the Evo X and its gonna be a killer machine. I spoke with the designers of the Evo X and they say it will be unrivaled and the new STI isn't ready for this new model. I was lucky enough to test drive the prototype in Japan last year and be prepared to either trade in your 8 or 9 or possibly garage it. This Evo X wil revolutionize the tuner world. You'll see.

One thing I'm curious about is the Performance package. In the Leaked video we saw an Evo with a wing, that had No radio and No cruise control, but had the SST and BBS rims. I wonder if the Performance package (without the Premium package) deletes those features. If so, between the weght savings from the BBS rims (3.4kg each corner if I read it right), the two-piece rotors, and the feature deletes, you might get a GSR 5M/T down to MR weight, maybe lower.
Can't be 3.4kg per corner, thats 7.5 lbs per wheel. Unless they just aren't trying at all to makes the stock rims lights so that way it makes the upgraded wheels look that much better. I think its more reasonable to assume 7.5 lbs total which would be almost 2 lbs per corner. If I am not mistaken the IX wheels weigh 20.19 for the enkeis and 17.75 for the BBS which is a weight difference of 2.44 lbs per wheel.
I read that a GSR will weigh 1540kg = 3390 lbs, so its gonna be a little bit heavier.
The other thing I saw in that brochure was what looked like 3 suspension settings. Normal, Sport, Super Sport.
I only wonder how much of this stuff will be available to US market.
