The front end reminds me of the Audi TT. Except someone very fat has sat on it and squished the headlights out of shape.

Flat bottomed steering wheel reminds me of Audi TT also.

More similarities. Both have 2 litre turbo engines. Both have all wheel drive. Both have weight saving aluminium components. Both have histories forged in the battlefields of the world's toughest rally circuits. And both will turn heads everywhere they go.

There is a difference though. The Audi TT looks like a supermodel, whereas the Evo X looks like skanky trailer trash ho. But while the supermodel might be good at impressing crowds with a slow, stylish walk, I think it's the skank who holds the depth of talant here. Life in the dirt has given the skank skills the supermodel will never know.

Given the choice though, I just couldn't pass up a night with a supermodel, no matter how talanted the skank is.

nice comparison RIZZA...never though there were looking at audi that much.........

found a bit more info on the new evo...aperently gone is the current 2 liter donk....that was there in many incarnations starting with i think the VR4...right up to evo9... have a look,,,

http://www.autocarmag.com/News_Article.asp?NA_ID=217168

just out of interest, found this next car...suppose to be a new VW model...have they taken hints from audi or mitsubishi

FRONT view anyway.......

:D

http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=222019

although it actually does share the plat form with audi...

IMHO No way is that going to be the new Evo...

Looks all wrong, with no real carry-over from the previous models.

And it says concept on the rear, so its probably just a concept car.

And you would think that they would have release the newest Evo in Japan before showing at some skank-arse Mod show in wherever the hell the photos are taken, looks like downtown LA.

looks like a mazda 6 with headlights that are a cross between s15 and vy hsv lights, a ferrari enzo crossed with a shark nose and an interior from what the people in 1950 thought the cars from the year 2000 would have.

SUPER MEGA FUGLY!...I can already hear MAZDA screaming out to me!!

lol thats the concept x

the pics are real as this cars been to many motorshows around the world over the past 6 months

that isnt the evo x as far as ive read, but the evo x will b based on that chassis

"Sharing the new Mitsubishi Lancer platform with the new Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass, the Evo X will get a new 2.0-liter mill, an improved AWD system and six-speed clutchless tranny with paddles"

http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/mitsubishi/sp...vo-x-148806.php

and...

taken from autosalon magazine:

"The next incarnation or Mitsubishi's Lancer platform will be released as a base model spec first, in late 2007. Wearing 2008 spec plates, the Lancer will share the base platform with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass.

The next Evo should be a six speed clutchless manual, and the new version of the awesome 4G63 may even pass the magic 300 horsepower mark. Cementing the Evo at the top of the small car performance charts."

You know i like the skylines, and supra's and most other sports cars but to me Just in my opinion I always feel like Mistu cars are made cheaply. Maybe not the car but the interior. Seems like they are cheap looking plastic and for what you pay for I feel its very similar to a daewoo or kia interior.

just my 2 pennies

i would say there very underrated, mums magna is a great car nothing fallen off or anything although the fact that its fwd makes it a bitch to turn at low speeds. not much wheel lock, long wheelbase, nose heavy, etc.

although when dad got his commodore he said it handled better than his astra... see what happends when theres no drive in the front wheels, even a long wheelbase can handle better than a small astra.

i want an evo 8 fq400 (aka f**king quick 400hp) from the uk... just over 300kw mmmmmmmm

or get a normal evo 8, convert to rwd, put an rb26dett in and mod it up. well they can fit a vh41de in a 3 series e36 beemer and make it a front midship.

ralliart evo 9 was comfortable as hell when i sat in the one at perth motor show 06. it seats were really buckety yet still comfy and recaro (have to do something about the leather tho - eww). my point is its perfect for my height/size. had to put the seat back a bit but yeah. everything like guages etc was in good view too.

>_<

bar 1 model, all mitsubushi's are the shittest looking cars on the planet... they look cheap inside and out, and its embarrasing to even be seen standing near one

who gives a crap, this site should be skylines only

Agree to dis-agree.

Does any-one know how narrow this thing is?

It looks like two Aussie blokes would not be able to fit in the front

The new width restrictions on new cars in Japan only means 1 thing.

We are goin to look like we are on a budget....so narrow....blah :P:/

The cars are going to look like push bikes.

We are doomed....need to look to other countries to import there 2nd hand turbo charged cars.

:dry::)

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
