I'll bet it was taken from either one or our earlier post (which we did always reference to one of the Japanese motoring magazines), or directly from one of the Japanese magazines.

BTW did you have a quick squiz at BC this month at the new MARK II which will probably be called MARK X by someone ;):P:D:D.

Hey Rezz, i just bought issue 15 of Speed magazine and i couldnt find any mention of the EVO X atm, havnt had a good read through......if i find anything ill type out the article on here, as i do not have a scanner. Although, there is an article on Top Secrets V35 GT-R theyre producing with a calimed 600Kw VK45 4.5litre V8, with an adopted 4WD from the G35x. You probably know all about that.

Theres also an article on the new GT-R calling it an "R36 GT-R" now. I will copy out that article later tonight if you like.

****edit.....sorry i just seen on the next skyline discussion board that the "R36 GT-R" article is on there....so ignore the top secret/R36 GT-R thing........

Steve.

I was in Japan last month and spoke at a mitsubishi engineer (actually we were drinking quite heavily so it was more of a slur than speeking :)) who said that top management were considering axing the evo 9 and onwards all together because of the recalls and quality issues mitsubishi (global) have incurred in the past. He said it was a 50/50 decision at the moment (august). I dont know whats happened since

I actually agree and prefer them to stop production altogether and come back to the car later on instead of slapping something together and the fact they are favouring the Colt platform for Rally.

Other reason I don't want the Evo to be a global car at all...it should remain limited as the day it started life.

i remember there was sumthing about the EVO X in a magazine but i dont think it was speed. i got the last 3 speed issues and cant find it...ill keep looking.
Cheers man...

There was am article in this month's NZ Autocar which mentioned that Mitsi Japan recently had a new product presentation to the Mitsi NZ/Au people, and that the EVO 10 was shown. Someone was quoted as saying it is a 'very innovative' design.

No pics though.

there is a page article with some pictures in septembers Motor magazine. i havnt got a scanner so i cant scan it sorry but maby somone else will.

Main points are

- Powered by 4cyl MIVEC Turbo with 240kw and 431nm torque

- Release late 2006

-Evo 9 release january 2005

- new active lsd on front

the pics are only drawings of a picture that was showen at the press confrence for a few seconds.

Unrelated but i thought you might know. I read that the 206kw rule has been taken away is this true?? ( i have read about most of the new models being powerfuler just wanted to make sure)

Wheels had a little article, with this picture:

lancerevox01small.jpg

Which has been photoshopped into yellow and orange.

rundown:

'07 Launch,

new 4 cylinder engine

Built on "C-segment platform" (which may be either colt or lancer platform. ATM it's simply labelled evo X)

the pic is a mitsu-produced concept pic.

They're all ACP mags, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the same article in all three. (speed. motor, wheels)

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
