According to the VIN PDF linked above, they added another engine designation for an '06. The 8th digit in my VIN is "C." I assume that "C" is the 4G63 w/ MIVEC.

So, my car is the #06XXX MR from the Mizushima plant. Cool to know.

No Joey, your car isn't special.

I hate GG MRs even though I own one, there is just too f***ing many, time to go two tone black and GG. WTF Mitsubishi !!! I feel this hate, but at the same time I still can't get her out of my mind. At night and in the morning, I lust after her and the power of speed and control. LOL, she's my *****!

since the serial number is 000001 to 999999, we just have to figure out which serial numbers indicate an actual MR just by looking at the VIN. all evo's are made in Mizushima, the evo MR model seen at the firewall should be CT9ASJGFZL2M. the RS have CT9ASNDFZL2M while the GSR have CT9ASNGFZL2M
