Decided to pick up a new vechcle, got a deal I couldn’t pass up. 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSC00562.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSC00562.jpg) This thing is unreal. I’d say its an upgrade from the non-turbo eclipse… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF1822.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF1822.jpg) Now to attempt the proper new engine break-in technique! :uhh: ---

very nice… still though…i’m kinda unclear as to the differences between the evo’s… all i know is that the RS has the least bells and whistles, and is the fastest (not by much) what made you choose to spend the extra thousands of dollars for the MR? in any event though, can’t go wrong with an evo… :tup: ---

:tup: you should have looked at the top gears about the EVO 8’s atleast … the MR edition was the slowest out of the Evos I believe (not by much though) due to parts of the body aerodynamics. Maybe they fixed that on the 9’s, not sure. Still a HOTT car :tup: again ---

> [@90NA300ZX](#): > > so they’re not all 6 speeds? that’s odd…didnt think they’d put a different gear box in it… correct. only MR’s are 6 speed, have the BBS wheels, vortex generator, better suspension - bilsteins, aluminum hood, fenders, and roof (no sunroof available), neat little gauge cluster, piimp shift knob, HIDs standard, strut tower standard. I’m pretty positive that all the evos have the active differential settings. thanks for all the compliments! ---
