How to tell which FQ version?
So I have a 2004 Evo 8 MR.. that much I can tell. It's supposed to be an FQ330 out of the UK; however, the original owner I assumed removed all the badges including the interior piece by the gearshift.
The car has on the HKS Hard pipe kit for the interncooler, HKS drop in filter, full HKS exhaust and was imported from the UK.
1.) What size is the HKS exhaust diameter? Is this 3 inch?
2.) Is there anyway I can confirm this car is an FQ 330 by the chassis number or looking anywhere else for a unique identifier?
Thanks!

There should be a CarFax/AutoCheck kind of thingy there? Or the Title deed should tell you?
A quick Google search reveals (from this site: http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=9174.0) that you should get an 'AA Car Data Report'.

"The FQ330 retains all of the FQ300’s distinguishing features and to produce a further 30 bhp, two specific modifications are made:
A supplementary ECU is hard-wired to the cars existing engine management system, the unit controlling ignition timing and air/fuel mixture.
A revised waste-gate actuator ferrule is installed, which increases turbo-charger boost to 1.4 bar at peak pressure, which falls well within accepted engine and turbocharger tolerances.
To visually distinguish the new FQ330, its package will include black Alcantara leather seats, complete with in-set Ralliart logo. Cars will display FQ330 identity and, as with the rest of the Evolution VIII range, each will be individually numbered."
From http://www.topspeed.com/cars/mitsubi...330-ar723.html
"And Carbon dash inserts
Carbon spoiler upright inserts
Unique FQ numbering on gear surround
FQ300 decals on lower front doors and boot
HKS Super Dragger Exhaust
HKS Panel filter in airbox
HKS hardpipe kit, including cast alloy 'J' pipe"

"also the fq300 320 and 340 have a 6 speed bilstein monotube shocks"
