The numbers sound correct. I mentioned 110 but i wasnt sure of the exact figure but i knew it was in the 100's. A few rons could make a lot of difference. geez Oh well, i wonder how much savings we are going to do if we buy the evo 9 and put some hi octane fuel in it. Im guessing, not much. The only thing im worrying about the evo 9 is the transmission. I hope we get the 6 speed in aus like jdm. (Praying)

Im on the same track buddy. If the prices dont push over 65,000 aus dollars, i will have one in my garage. The only reason im going to buy evo 9 over the 8, is the mivec system. Nothing else.

Guys no need for ordering or searching on ebay. You can find the torrent file on mininova.org. My download is on 97 percent and the quality is very good(dvd rip). The only disadvantage is that theres no english subtitles. I can't wait to see the new evo 9 against its rivals.

Hi there,

I am trying to get a "group buy" happening in Australia. There are 2 of us at the moment that are purchasing the IX when it arrives and that will give us certain advantages when buying. However, the more Aussie's that put their hand up for one and make it a "team" effort, the better off we all will be.

Please let know if you are interested.

Thanks


Regards
Robert

Pricing (including sales tax) starts at 4,609,500 yen.

1. Engine :
- Improved for more power and torque by using S203-specific tuning equipment. Emphasis on strong, smooth torque band that extends into upper rpm range. Results are 320-hp and 422-nm of torque.
- Turbo is larger with has more blades and uses a ball-bearing turbine shaft. Turbine blades are re-shaped to provide less lag at low rpms and more power at high rpms.
- Engine management is provided by an all-new Sport ECU.
- New, flex-resistant silicone connectors are utilized for the intercooler and air intake side of the turbocharger. These provide better engine response under full boost as well as longer life.
- For better high-rpm rotation, smoothness, and longevity, pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft are balanced and each engine is hand-assembled.
- A new, higher-flowing and more efficient catalytic converter is utilized.
- A better flowing muffler is used to decrease exhaust resistance. It is made from titanium for a 5-kg weight savings.
- Engine uses an air-cooled engine oil cooler for increased engine longevity and performance under high stress driving conditions.

2. Chassis:
- Chassis is upgraded to match increase in engine performance. The excellent stability and handling of the regular STi is retained, yet we have added an amount of increased adaptability to comfortably handle any road condition, even winding roads with variable surfaces.
- Shocks are 4-way adjustable for damping, giving the ability to provide a comfortable ride in slow city driving as well as a firm and controlled ride for high speed driving.
- The adjustable shocks give the driver options for choosing different handling characteristics for different road conditions.
- Spring rates are increased 50% and the ride height has been reduced by 15mm. These changes provide quicker reflexes and more roll resistance.
- Increased handling stability and control are provided by new aluminum lateral link with pillow-block bushings.
- A thicker rear anti-roll bar with special brackets is used to offer better handling.
- We use Pirelli P-ZERO CORSA tires for excellent grip in dry and wet weather and also for longer life and better control.
- We’ve fit the S203 with 18-inch forged-aluminum BBS wheels that are 6-kg lighter than the 17-inch wheels found on the base model STi.
- Exclusive outer-ventilated brake rotors are used for increased brake-cooling and over all better braking efficiency.

3. Exterior/Interior:
- We’ve improved the function of the exterior and interior by pursuing the best and sportiest materials available.
- Straight-line high-speed stability is improved with a carbon fiber front lip spoiler that reduces front-end lift and keeps the tires better planted to the road surface.
- Attached under the front lip spoiler is a strip of rubber that additionally limits airflow under the body of the car and also minimizes damage to the spoiler should the front lip spoiler contact the road surface.
- An exclusive 2-way adjustable rear wing spoiler is used to reduce rear-end lift and to keep the tires better planted to the road surface.
- We have added special reclining Recaro front sport seats with gray Alcantara center surfaces to help keep driver and passenger firmly held in place during spirited driving. These seats are constructed with carbon fiber shells and therefore are lighter and stronger than the seats offered in the base STi.
- Gray Alcantara trim is used on door panels.
- The color black is used in the interior to convey a feeling of sportiness and consistency. Black floor mats are sued, and a black soft-feel coating is used on the center console, gauge pod, and side bench grille.
