Hello themothership. We do have a Motorsports section: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/fo...?s=&forumid=15

I might leave the thread here if you can tell us why the Evo is being delayed by a month or so.

Its complex, but basically because the rear spoiler is hand-made by a vendor which I can not disclose they are having difficultly making enough to meet the worldwide demand for EVO8 in Japan, United States and Europe. As such additional tooling was required and is the reason for delay in shippment.

themothership, is that Evo a JDM Evo VIII with ACD? The headlights tell me it is, but that may not mean anything.

Hello Mothership,


Bring ACD!!!!!

Ok, there, I said it.

Great to see Mitsubishi doing so well in the U.S. Evo. Just for the record, I think I'm leaning more towards the Evo again (a little anecdotal evidence, anywho).

Is this the same series that does the Rim of the World rally in Palmdale, or is that a stand alone event?

Again, congrats...
