I really like that new color, silver and black have always been my favorites on any machine but this gun metal like color is really great. Congrats on the new ride.

Initial impression:

MR is very smooth and quiet, with extremely smooth shifter , much better than the regular evo. Since i am still breaking in the MR, no redlining yet, got to up to 4k max, hummm, seems to be torquer than i remembered than our stock evo.
Again, that obnoxious smell around and inside the car, making us kinda nauseous. Wished it would go away quickly.

Color is just what i wanted, totally mean looking, yet stealthish , YEAH!

That suspension, Bilstein system on the MR , really does it job, reminds me of Jbigolow's Zeals quite a bit, it just might be the ticket for those who wants factory parts instead of aftermarket coilovers.

It's much more refined than what we can remembered and my wife likes it a lot!! Shocked


More to follow.

about that yellow evo in the picture, what type of suspension do you have on it, how much is lowered by and is it more harsh than the stock settings, and lastly does it handle better on the track or the road? sorry to get off the topic guys. by the way congrats on the new mr.

Just drive faster and that should leave the smell behind.
