It sucks to see it on the trailor, but I had to. Its my daily driver, and I've spent over a week and a half trying to figure it out. Sadly we're taking it to my local Mitsu. dealer. They keep buggin me to trade it in, especially with the Evo coming in Jan. w/280bhp! (so says the sales rep)

bad MAF?

An Evo would be cool but give it two years and everyone will have one.

Well, I was in the middle of trying different things, including the MAF, but after I put the TPS in and the car failed to start anymore, I figured the MAF out.
The sales rep also told me low 30k for an Evo. So they won't be TOO popular. Specially when you can get the SRT Neon for 20k. Also, I've heard word from local "insider" Dodge guys that they plan on doing an Evo port. Kinda like the 3000GT/Stealth.

Do you mean that evo6 does not have 280hp?? The evo has 280hp since along time ago. Correct me if im wrong but i think evo5 is the only one with less than 280hp

Actually, from what I've heard, the Evo is well over 300bhp in Japan. Maybe thats wrong I dunno. All I know is tonight I asked about the Evo in the US, and she told me Jan., and 280hp.

Doesn't nearly EVERY japanese sportscar have a claimed '280 hp'.. I thought that was like the manufacturers agreed limit on 'claimed' hp.
1st gen VR-4 was claimed 280 ( In Japan, and was more like 300 )
R-32 GTR Skyline ( and R-34 I believe ) claimed 280 as well... I think it was the mk4 supra that broke that rule - "well our car is 320hp" ( Mitsu engineers turn factory boost from 10 to 12 lbs ) hmm.. so is ours!
All of us with 4g63 engined cars know that 280 from an EVO is realistic - with plenty left.
They will get common once you guys get them though.. I see Evos 2-4 ALL the time.. Skylines at every stoplight.
I almost never get to see 'American Muscle' cars though
I'm glad my 'other' car is a Galant VR-4.. there still aren't loads around.. in New Zealand.
