Evo x issues

So, I just passed 350 miles on my new GSR and I am having alignment issues (car pulls left when wheel is straight) and HID headlight problems. The low beams put out light maybe 15 feet beyond the car and black after that. I had HID's on my RX-8 and they were awesome. I am not sure what is up with these.

While I am at it, it idles really bad. It bounces around 600K to 1200K when it is warm and I do not have any mods. Any ideas/suggestions

The alignment is always bad from the factory on these cars. But make sure they took out the spring spacers in the wheel well. They put those on to keep the suspension stiff when shipping and are susposed to be removed by the dealer. I have had three and the first thing I do is go get a alignment. However a alignment is covered under the 12k miles 1 year adjustment period on your warranty. Also there is a adjustment knob for the HID to raise and lower them on the left hand side of the dash about steering wheel level. Also there is TSB out for the idle issues and there is a reflash out that you can get from the dealer. Welcome to the EVO world.

^ Ditto. My alignment was bad right off the lot. Take to the dealer and have it adjusted since it's covered under the 12K warranty.
