Isn't shizzle "shit" with the Snoop Dog izzle word twist?

so that last sentence would be..

"Isnizzle shizzlizzl "shizzle" with the Snoop Dog izzle word twisizzle"

Check this (http://www.asksnoop.com/) out.

And to stay on topic. Evos were evolutions of base model lancers right. So this was enevitable. I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the "flesh".

keep in mind, that's just a random artist's impression. did you all see the drawings of the 8 before it came out? they were hideous...

all i know is im going to trade my evo 8 or the evo 8 MR when it ends up in the U.S., the reason why is because it weights lighter, and handles alot better....

we'll probably never get the MR, and besides, your car with a few mods will be better than an MR anyway...

yo malibu...i see you've changed ur preference of BOV from turboxs to HKS ssqv...after all that shit talk on the ssqv...im wondering why the change???

I found out some SSQV's have problems, most of the people who get this unit dont buy the recirc kit, and also the person who is supplying the recirc kit made this custom tube that connects to the dump hose for the recirc kit, and he says its 100% perfect fitting with the custom tube.....im going to be testing the SSQV at meet 9 without the recirc kit, then with the recirc kit on, the problem with the TurboXS rfl is that i hate how it keeps the Turbo spooling, and wastes the shit out of my gas.....so we'll see mann..im hoping i dont find any fluttering =/

see im not looking forward to VTA, and did you get the recirc kit from socalevo or internet? cuz i herd it does not fit perfect, so thats why the person im gettin it off from made this custom raditor hose like tube that connects the recirc kit to the dump hose, the recirc kit itself is smaller size then the dump opening hose......so we'll see i hope its good

All HKS SSQVs flutter. That's just the way they are. If you got a chance to see some of the JGTC races on speed, you'll hear them fluttering all over the place. I just don't care that much about the BOV sound and the stock one works fine.

ya what he said, even at 22psi, i never had a problem with leakage. and the only reason i got a new one is becuase it came with my upper pipe.

WOW talk about out of topic.

I think the side lines looks good going back, but the front and back is just ugly. I also dislike how they put the plate where the BEAUTIFUL UK BADGE suppose to be.

SHIZLE means "sure" br0 not cash, but if that's ur lingo I don't know. FO SHIZLE MY NIZLE.

I know I'm going to get shot for saying this, but the more I look at it the more I like it. When I first saw the pic I hated it, but like apexstrafer said, we ALL hated the way the 8 looked in the first press releases. Remember that the reason the raliart looks so weak is that the front end doesn't sit as low, and it looks like the front is lifted. The EVO bumper will most likely have a lower-sitting lip, like comparing the 8 to a regular '03 lancer.

Chris in SD

It still looks heinous. And the Ralliart look is probably correct - a couple of the JDM mags showed their impression of the Evo 9 and it looks like the one in MT (but with fogs, like an Evo 5). I know the technology (except in the US) has been greater every evolution, but if I had a choice, I'd get an Evo VI GSR or TME. I think it looks the best and has great pedigree. I don't think I'll ever be disappointed in owning an Evo VIII. Think of it this way: Today, a lot of people are impressed by a large stable of '60s muscle cars. In 30 years, it will be the same if you have a large stable of '00s JDM beasts. So my garage with an '03 Evo VIII, '08 GT-R, etc. will be the "shiznit". :lol:

and they confirmned the addition of a 6 speed in the article and the possibility of a mechanical Active Differential. im sure defined as mking power adjustments based on local input as opposed to a computer making them based of sensors.

The fluttering of it alternately opening and shoving air back into your compressor? Certainly does sound cool...

I was being sarcastic by pointing out every time you hear that flutter its the sound of someone hitting your turbo with a hammer.
