Can someone verify if this the US version of the Evo. I should be happy to see a refined and better version of the evo, but it's a little upsetting to know that our cars are somewhat outdated with the arrival of the MR. sorta similar to when of the Wrx-Sti version superceded the Wrx. Just have mixed feelings about seeing that MR badge with extra goodies.

BTW- Can someone confirm the official release date for the the MR...I thought it would be next year...if it was to arrive in the states.

Mr has a 10.5 nozzel compared to stock 9.8
so far, the MR I can probably get is non tatinium..

I belive the titanium I can get is of stock size..

if anyone is interested, I'll get intouch with my shipper..

Just verified with my friend that the turbo he can ship is a 10.5 nozzle turbo for the VI same size as the MR, none tatinium. The only differencfe with the MR is that the exhaus waste gate port is the same as the Evo VIII.

He said he has some 9.8 nozzled tatinium turbo for the RS as well.

Rob,

Why didn't you wait several months to get the MR version?

i just went to capitol mitsu and they said the MR is coming in 2 weeks...and they also said they ordered a whole crapload of them. the desk manager said that they would be putting the standard 3995 markup on them tho....i guess its better than the 20 when tehy first came out.

There was a thread about a guys on Evom that spoke to a Mitsu. rep and gave the details of the USDM Evo MR. Talked about watered downed version. I'll see if I can find the link.

yeah.. thats sucks, its not even worth it for the difference in price... whats the point? all that money and you still get the ghey altezzas all the way around, plus the nasty blue seats. Why in the world would they even make the seats blue in the first place.. does red not go with every single color of the evo better then blue? the only car it would look funky on would be the bby.
