Tokyo, October 1, 2007 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announces today that it will launch the Lancer Evolution X high-performance 4WD sedan, newest of the company’s legendary vehicles, on October 1 at dealerships throughout Japan. Featuring a new platform, engine, and exterior and interior designs, the totally redesigned.

The development goal for the new Lancer Evolution X was to make the car as fast as possible, while also making it as safe to drive as possible. To that end Lancer Evolution X is loaded with the very latest in automotive engineering technology, including the S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) vehicle dynamics control system and the newly developed, power-efficient Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission). Lancer Evolution X is a new-generation high-performance 4WD sedan that allows a new category of driver access to Mitsubishi’s dynamic driving experience by underpinning speed with control, security and safety.

All Lancer Evolution X GSR models are fitted with the S-AWC vehicle dynamics control system. The system intelligently manages several component systems to regulate drive torque and braking force at each wheel, reading and reflecting driver intent in real time over a wide range of situations. This allows drivers of all abilities to enjoy sporty driving with peace of mind.

Sporting the S-AWC and Twin Clutch SST and other cutting-edge automotive technology as well as a more comprehensive functional and convenience equipment specification, the GSR trim level (also available with a 5-speed manual transmission) leads the new Lancer Evolution X lineup. The lineup also continues to offer the RS competition base model, with a less comprehensive and simplified equipment specification to reduce weight to a minimum.

The exterior is crafted with sophisticated and aggressive styling to give the low-and-wide squat stance body an aerodynamically clean profile that flows liquidly from the inverted-slant nose over the roof to the tail end, using wind-tunnel proven aero parts. The oversize rear spoiler – standard on the GSR – uses a twisted-section wing panel with different attack angles at its ends and in the center portion to match the airflow over the body surface. A large undercover rectifies underbody airflow for better aerodynamics and also improves drivetrain cooling. The underside of the rear bumper employs a diffuser design that helps to exhaust the underbody airflow more effectively and also adds a distinguishing touch to the rear view.

The interior design places emphasis on functional and operational elements to encourage and allow the driver to concentrate on operating his machine while at the same time realizing levels of comfort and quality that expected in a new-generation sports sedan. Seats are done by Recaro – well-known for providing excellent location, hold, and for alleviating fatigue on longer journeys – with a new full bucket front seat design. Lancer Evolution X uses a small diameter steering wheel designed for smooth operation; its genuine leather wrap provides a positive and comfortable fitment to the hand. For optimum operability the S-AWC mode selector is located on the left spoke.

Lancer Evolution X is powered by a new turbocharged engine that adds a high-performance turbocharger to the 4B11-type 2.0-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC MIVEC unit used in the Galant Fortis. Developing more power over the full rev range, this engine generates more torque at 422 Nm (43.0 kg-m)/3500 rpm and has better response than its 4G63 predecessor. The new engine is also lighter and returns better environmental performance.

The GSR is available with the new Twin Clutch SST 6-speed automated manual transmission that eliminates the need for a clutch pedal and provides slick, smooth shifting. Twin Clutch SST puts odd (1st, 3rd, 5th) and even (2nd, 4th and 6th) gears on separate input shafts each with its own clutch and, through tight cooperative control with the engine, switches between these clutches to realize seamless and lightning-fast shifting for feel-good acceleration. Because it uses clutches rather than a torque converter to transmit power, Twin Clutch SST allows superior power transmission efficiency with little loss of motive power and returns excellent fuel economy. Twin Clutch SST models are fitted as standard with steering column-mounted lightweight magnesium paddle shifters that allow the driver to shift manually without taking his hand off the steering wheel. For drivers who enjoy having more direct control over their machine, the GSR is available with a new 5-speed manual transmission.

While based on the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension arrangement used on previous models in the series, Lancer Evolution X features a revamped suspension layout with wider tracks and 18-inch tires. Geometry optimization and greater stiffness in the mountings maximizes the contact patch and allows S-AWC to perform to its full potential as well as bringing improved straight line stability, cornering and ride.

GSR comes standard with 245/40R18 wide and low-aspect tires on 18-inch Enkei 12-spoke high-rigidity cast alloy wheels. 18-inch BBS lightweight alloy wheels are also available as a factory-fitted option for GSR and add a distinctive custom touch with a luster finish. GSR comes standard with brembo 18-inch front and 17-inch rear ventilated disc brakes. The increased disc size improves stopping power and fade resistance as well as improving brake pedal feel.

The factory-fitted High Performance Package comprises the Bilstein single tube shock absorbers and Eibach coil springs used on Lancer Evolution IX MR. It also includes brembo 2-piece disc brakes that realize a saving of 1.3 kg at each wheel and high performance tires with stiffer walls and better grip. This package brings further improvements in grip, steering response, stability and cornering.

The GSR trim level comes with Mitsubishi Motors’ own 4WD vehicle dynamics control system S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) standard. S-AWC uses integrated management to exert high-precision control on drive torque and brake force at each wheel to enhance cornering and stability under all conditions thereby producing vehicle behavior that faithfully reflects driver intent. The Active Center Differential uses an electronically-controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch to optimize front/rear wheel torque split and thereby produce the best balance between traction and steering response.

AYC uses a torque transfer mechanism in the rear differential to control rear wheel torque differential for different driving conditions and so limit the yaw moment that acts on the vehicle body and thus enhance cornering performance. AYC now features yaw rate feedback control using a yaw rate sensor to more accurately determine the cornering dynamics on a real-time basis. And the addition of braking force control allows the system to realize vehicle behavior that more closely mirrors driver intent.

Well the reason is that apparently, Mitsubishi has found a problem with the front impact sensors. For those of you who don’t know, the impact sensors are there to detect the force of a collision and therefore decide if the airbags should be deployed or not. The 29.353 Lancers and EVO’s they are recalling were sold in “salt belt regions”* and actually I have absolutely no idea what that means. I mean it obviously has something to do with salt. Anyway, they say that melted snow and road salt can stick to the front impact sensors and corrode them so they could fail to deploy the airbags in the case of a serious crash. Apparently these salty regions are the following: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. So, if you own an Lancer built between 2008-’09 and you live somewhere in the above states, call your Mitsu driver and get those sensors replaced.

The package performed on this vehicle was Gold.

On Arrival

Not quite exactly, I forgot to take photos before the car was washed as I needed to crack on, so here is how it stood after a snow foam and wash.

Looking pretty good already but time will tell a different story.

The alloys were then treated with an APC, no before pictures as it was nearly spotless in the first places.

After

The tyres were dressed and the wheels were sealed later in the detail.

The vehicle was then clayed to remove any bonded contaminants on the paintwork.

Contaminants from the roof:

Not so bad, mostly sap.

Contaminants from the passenger wing:

Fairly bad, and finally contaminants from the lower drivers door:

The rest of the car was very much the same throughout.

Paint readings were then taken with a paint thickness gauge to assess how healthy the paint levels were.

Lowest Paint Level 76 microns
Heighest Paint Level 138 microns

I know there is one at 314 microns but as it was so random and in only place I disregarded this reading. The levels of paint were healthy enough to proceed, however the lower paint reading areas around the wings were approached with more caution.

The vehicle was then masked up and it was time to see what condition the paintwork was in. Dodo Juice Lime Prime on a polishing pad was used for correction throughout, which produced great results, leaving only a few marks, which will be tackled at a later date if required.

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. For the first time DSG Performance has set up an amazing group buy for the Synapse Engineering Synchronic Blow Off Valve for the Mitsubishi Evolution X. This is a one time deal and you have got to take advantage while it’s still hot!

The Synapse Engineering BOV Kit for the Mitsubishi Evo X GROUP BUY:

Due to the vast amount of interest I have received since posting the Synapse Engineering Synchronic BOV thread, I contacted Synapse directly and have been authorized to set up a group buy to provide the EVO X kit for a One-Time-Only special price.

A minimum of 10 confirmed orders is required to receive the benefits of this special.

MSRP: 284.99

One-Time-Only Group Buy Special Price Of: 244.99$
For anything under 10 orders, anyone who is signed up till that point will receive the kit for 269.99$ After that, all sales will revert back to regular pricing.

Here’s where to go! EvoXForums. Here we have all the information you need before making your decision including a company about, summary of the part, benefits, picture, video and more!

The Synapse Engineering Synchronic BOV package –SB001A.KIT003 is the iconic Synchronic BOV that has set the standard for impossibly fast response from a BOV/DV. Completely modular, it can be installed as a vent-to-atmosphere BOV or re-circulating diverter valve. By design, it is a pull-type valve only. This means that boost pressure keeps it closed, meaning no boost leaks upwards of 100+ psi of boost. It operates in a normally open condition. This means that it is designed to remain open under vacuum conditions. For maximum performance and reliability, it is recommended to install the Synchronic BOV in a re-circulated configuration with the discharge between the MAF sensor and turbocharger inlet.

This kit will not cause any of the same problems that many other aftermarket BOV’s are being reported to have on the Evo X. It retains the recirculation system set up with the stock BOV, if your choose. It will hold more boost and it will hold it better. For those of you who are looking for it, you will hear a noticeable difference in sound. Especially when paired with an aftermarket intake system. As my girlfriend says whenever I mention a blow off valve (get our mind out of the gutter!), Whashoom!

Kit Contents Include:
• Synchronic BOV SB001A Black Body/Silver Cover
• SB001.9 Evo Flange
• SBC0600YLT “Y” Connector
• SBC06PU03BLK 3 Meters Boost Connect Line
• 1.25” Silver Aluminum recirculation fitting
• Adjustment Allen Key

Benefits Include:

• Innovative Piston Actuated Design
• Absolutely No Diaphragm
• Pull-Type BOV designed to stay closed under boost
• Detachable Re-Circulation Discharge and Interchangeable Flange
