No I haven't bought mine yet, however if I lived in the UK and had an exceptional amount of money, the new EVOVIII MR FQ400 would be top of my list.

0-100 in 3.5

Article Here-> http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0...1406902,00.html

Some quotes

"The brakes, which are to a bespoke specification, are so powerful I half expected them to trigger the airbags"

"I have it direct from Mitsubishi that 400 refers roughly to its power output and FQ to the words that come out your mouth the first time you sample it. And, yes, the Q is “quick”."

10 points to whoever works out the F in FQ first :)

It's also in the latest SPEED magazine I beleive.

There is a bloke at work who wouldnt shut up about it. He s totally in love with it. He reckons he read an article which said that they took it for a spin on the track and it won against the Zonda. With that horrible torque curve i doubt it is worth anything on the track. Unless its got antilag its only good for drags.

Depends on your ability to keep revs up IMHO. Evo's have a relativley close ratio box, so a bit of the ol' heel/toe and even shifting into 1st if neccessary (OMG! People do that! People like me :P ) and you could probably do alright.

On the subject of being in love with it. I have already have two wet dreams about it. The best one involved strapping into some gravel and hitting the gravel mode button. The sheets will never be the same again.....

Against a Zonda on tarmac? No way. It just wouldnt have the response needed to corner.

Quite interesting seeing all the Evo boys creaming over the 400.

If you keep the revs up in it, its a very quick car point to point. I have seen video of it whooping a Lamborghini Murciellago around a track, and before anyone crys foul about inexperianced drivers, the Lamborghini was being driven by a professional European touring car driver.

It is a very very very quick car point to point through corners, you just need the brains and balls to know how to drive it properly :D

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
