[leaveit2bevo]

hahhah that sucks

[Senshi]

lol why is it off center :lol:

[alex_alex]

you found that out only now? :shock:

i've noticed it for a while. just never said anything about it, nor have i heard anyone else say anything about it

[alex_alex]

my AMS is a bit off in the same direction also, but the bigger hole in the bumper covers it up a lot better

it is a mitsu, don't get your hopes up to high

[leaveit2bevo]

I agree with alex, if you buy a 30000 car shit should be even.

[whiteJDMevo]

its not that big of a deal and if your buying a normal 30000 dollar car then yea.. but a big reason to buy the evo is the performance.. you have to be able to give certain things up

[EVOate909]

man... i never noticed that.. :? sux for a 35k+ car

lame. you shouldn't have to give THAT up. the paint, i understand. the cheap interior, i understand.

but to move the goddamn intercooler one inch to the right? isn't too much to ask IMO

[leaveit2bevo]

this poison is my intoxication

you found that out only now? :shock:

seriously, terrance and i were hating on this design for a while...the new front bumper sucks and generally most people dont like it! it seems to be a conservative form of the gialla/c-west front bumper. it's higher than our stock ones now...just my opinion but it's ugly!

but i don't think the bumper is crooked / off, im pretty sure its the intercooler

[Macky]

he didnt say it was off, he said it looked higher.

[tabio42]

The Intercooler is UPSIDE DOWN!! HOLY CRAP! THAT'S H4X! It's way more L337 that way. Btw, why do those tanned people get a new Evo? When do we get one?

[alex_alex]

he didnt say it was off, he said it looked higher.

then he had absolutely no reason to quote what you said then. what he quoted from you was directly referring to something you thought i JUST found out, and that had to do with the IC.

i thought that the new bumper looks pretty good .. but everyone has there own opinions

damn quote button :shock:

[hksevo8]

Could the pictures and cars you have noticed this on do far been preproduction versions? Sometimes this happens when the first models roll off the line.

those "tanned" people........hahahaha priceless!

who cares as long as the car performs what next your going to cry about the fact that the drivers side headlight is adjusted to aim 2 inches lower than the passenger side headlight. :roll:

some people don't like the car looking like shit.

but ive seen the interior of your car, and im guessing you dont care at all. its straight performance for you :peewee:

[gofaster87]

Mine is a little tilted. Oh well, it doesnt keep it from going fast.

[MAFIOSO8]

yes sam we all know your cars fast..... :roll:

[alex_alex]

yeah so's my ams.

[gofaster87]

Really? Is it becasue of the brackets being bent or they just in the wrong place. I think mine are bent slightly.

[EVO Neil]

Let, the IX hating begin from the VIII owners. :lol: :crazyeyes:

[BOVBILLY]

LOL @ NEIL!

[alex_alex]

Let, the IX hating begin from the VIII owners. :lol: :crazyeyes:

please. the this isn't like the hating the MR's from the regular evo guys, based on subjective preferences for certain things.

the intercooler being offcenter is a pretty objective flaw. unless, of course, you have a preference for misaligned parts. :lol:

[alex_alex]

. . . otherwise, who said anything about hating the IX? if the intercooler was offcenter on the VIII, id say the same thing

glad that the AVO FMIC doesn't have any fitments issues.

i was pretty amazed at how perfectly constructed the AVO is. its just DAMN heavy. I picked one up when i spoke with Roshan a million years ago, and that MFer is hefty)

I just found it funny! All of the negative comments in this thread about the IX because, and get this, the intercooler is off slightly center . To me that's funny! :lol: Maybe I'm the only one to see the humor in this thread?

all i know is, if i just bought a brand new evo IX, that would piss the hell outta me :lol: but im autistic like that. I also like starting at the lines on the car over and over and over again. My feathers get extremely ruffled when shit doesn't fit properly or line up. Then again, its an excuse to get a new FMIC. :)

[Macky]

guys just get a different I/C

hey dumbass, wrong fuckin disorder. i think you meant OCD. And for claiming you're obsessive compulsive, i think you just proved yourself not.

*EDIT* Sorry if i come off like an ass, just hits a little close to home.

im pretty sure it wasnt the wrong disorder. I worked with autistic kids, excuse me, children with autism, for 3 years of my college life, and following lines /edges of shapes and being obsessed with shape / symmetry was pretty common.

but im sorry if i offended you, didn't mean to make TOO much light of it.
