AHH wrong it depends if you try and bring the tensil strength the same aluminum is heavier.

It's got the ECU, exhaust, some badges, and carbon trim inside. The 2K (US $3000.00) includes installation and VAT tax. When they introduced Subarus with the Prodrive pack there it was the same price. When they brought the pack here it was DIY but only $1500.00.

And do not forget, FQ also has ACD and SAYC.

BLKEVO8 is right - less Ti then Al is needed to achieve same tensile strength in any given part.

Man, I would love those seats. The leather bolsters would wear a lot better and the alcantara inserts would keep you snug!! Just look at the size of the lower bolsters....man we get screwed over here thanks to Mitsubishi's decision to cater to fat-assed americans. Sorry, but thats been eating at me for some time!

I read in CAR magazine that the FQ 300 gets HKS internals. Whether that means cams Or a new bottom end I don't know. As far as replacing alumninum with Ti and plastic with carbon I have a hard time believing that for only 2000 pounds

It's not our fault, we are victimized by McDonalds and Krispy Kreme and the rest of the fast food industry. They oppress us with their high calorie high carb concoctions. It aint fair!!

Someone please invade and liberate us from their oppression.

mmmmmm DONUTS

so can't we just order an fq-300 ecu from the uk and plug it in our car and get an exhaust to get the same output?

No because the FQ-300 hac AYC and the ECU will be looking for those setting not to mention the JDM version does not have a rear O2 sensor. It will be a total mess I would not risk it plus I think the ECU checks register against the ECU under the hood as well. The best thing if you want to go that route is a flash from Works it is almost the same thing.
