Hi guys, just yesterday I bought a 2006 TB MR, with appearance package. I am sooo happy that I got one. I was debating between an EVO and a Z, but with this being the last year of the IX, i decided to get one. Pics later on tonight, because I'm at work.

Thanks guys.

The only problem is I have to break it in now...
I can feel that she really wants to be opened up, but I've been short shifting her. Can't wait until after she's broken in.

What really sold me was that a buddy of mine let me drive his 06 IX, and it was an awesome drive. I loved feeling that turbo!

You know, I've read both theories about break in. But you can only break in a car once, so I figure I might as well do it as mitsubishi says.

Seeing as how they employ lots of engineers and spend tons of money on the cars, I'm kind of inclined to believe them when it comes to break in.

The rod bearings are non contact, they do not need to be broken in. What other wear items would there be in the engine? The rings, but you seat them in the first 20 miles of driving. There is nothing else to 'break in' inside.

The only thing I wouldn't do to a brand new car is bang gears hard.

To each his own, though.

Welcome! Good choice on your car. I was debating between the IX MR and a S4 but I figured I can be an old fart in a pampered AWD sports sedan later on in life.
