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)

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
