Not been able to drive it hard yet, but initial impressions are its a great car, everything is tight and precise, nothing clunks or knocks its just solid and well put together not to mention i think it looks stunning . Lovely turbo sounds above 4k and a much more useable power band compared to my 20g'd STI as i'd expect

Thanks for your comments

That's the first IX I've seen in white and I have to say it looks the dogs. I wish you all the best as we're all performance car enthusiasts at the end of day, regardless of what marque we drive.

What model is this by the way? Is it a GT spec car, GSR etc??

I'm not really up to date with Evo specs so is there any with a JDM Evo like there is with JDM Scoobs?

And the more I look at that photo the more it grows on me.

All EVO's are made on the same production line in Japan. Mitsubishi import them into the UK and put the rear fog etc on, as well as some bolt on goodies like HKS catback and HKS hard pipe kit before ecuteking the car to various levels of tune ie. FQ320, FQ340 and FQ360

The JDM model has all standard elements on it and is quoted at 289bhp in accordance with the Jap Gentlemans Agreement but they all produce over 320 in standard form. As i will be modding the car, 3" exhaust, fuel pump, boost control, motec etc the UK cars are extremely overpriced as i will be surrendering my warranty and changing the goodies they already put on so i got myself a JDM import ready to molest into the car i want

Cheers for the comments

Looks very nice, but don't get the attitude problem that some Evo drivers seem to have Going by a past post on the mlr forums!
