Who has the Evo X so far?

Speedfreak · 01-21-2008

I just saw on another forum that Vivid Racing has their Evo X already. Just like when the current Evo came out, all the DSM shops jumped on it and started the work immediately. Do any of the big players have theirs yet? If so, post links to their videos or threads here. I'd like to see them, and I'm sure others would as well.

I think a few are keeping it secret. I can almost guarantee that AMS has one. They were supposed to be getting an early one before they were being sold yet.

A few private guys on EvoM have their personal X's. One guy said it felt similar to his VIII in how it drove and the interior quality was up to typical Mitsu-par.

**scheides** · 01-21-2008

Buschur said they weren't going to get one right away, but in all honesty, that has to be BS. It's such a huge market, I can't see everyone jumping on it.

No one has EcuFlash working for it yet though, so that's a big drawback for tuning for the time being.

Unlocked ECU for evo X might mean the 4G ecu will be unlocked as well... canbus is going to hold back the evo x until they break it open, but there has been nobody willing to do it for the 4g since the market is tiny.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but there is a bit of buzz about that on the 4g forums.

There is probably already an ECU chip being burned away. They burn it away layer by layer to read what was on it.

I read a bunch of threads on evolutionm yesterday. I think some dealers on the West coast have sold some EVO Xs. But It might be a few more days before they arrive in the Midwest and East Coast.

It is exciting to see Vivid Racing already getting there hands dirty with the X. The dyno numbers were just a slight bump over the IXs numbers. Which is right on from what Mitsu is claiming.

later,
Curt

SouthCoast Mitsu has some in-stock and sitting on the lot.

a guy on my galant forums saw one at a dealer in california. dealer price tag was 38,500, and does not include the SSN package.

**Halon** · 01-22-2008

SSN? Is that kind of the same idea as the SSL?

It's going to be interesting to see the future of aftermarket support for these CAN cars. SAE J1939 only goes so far in terms of being able to "play" on the CAN system.

38 grand? Wow...

sound, sun, and navigation apparently. but i could be wrong. i probably am.

another price tag was spotted... heres the quote from my galant forum. 41K? OUCH.

It was the GSR Model.
$32,990 Base
$36,054 +Options
$41,053 +Dealer Markup

It seemed very well constructed. The interior was nice, but still on the cheapo plasticy side. The Recaro seats were very very nice. Was interesting that the battery now resides in the trunk, along with the washer fluid reservoir, and what looked like a brake fluid reservoir.

Dealer said they had already sold one.

**Kracka** · 01-23-2008

Thats cool the battery is now in the trunk, the washer fluid has always been back there, and possibly thats an S-AYC reservoir?

**JET** · 01-23-2008

Luther Mitsu in BP will have them in next week!

A//// Guy · 01-23-2008

Its about time other sports car manufacturers starting putting batteries in the trunk. BMW has been for a long time

Just got back from Norco Mitsubishi, They have 30... yes 30 of them. They are sooooo fucking nice.
They even have a looks package that comes with a little more aggressive body kit (not ricey at all), it looks fucking awesome. The sales man is even willing to go only $100 over invoice on it. Which would put it at around $33k. He also said that HK$ has already cracked the ecu.

Speedfreak · 01-26-2008

Nice, with the midwest and east coast soon to be gettting their cars, it should be interesting to see the vids and posts about these pop up.

I really want to start learning/hearing about the new engine and it's weaknesses and strengths. I'm assuming Mitsu understands what they needed to do with this engine.

FattyBoomBatty · 01-26-2008

The salesman knew that HKS had cracked the ECU?
