Looks like i'll be happy with something similar to the FQ330. What's a racing suction pipe?

Only in the UK?

thank you!
Now all we need a part numbers for each of these peices and your local dealer should be able to bring them in for you to add to your evo under warrentee. THey will have to do the install.

BTW.. Just incase you get the run around by some dealers.. some car dealers will not sell the EvoX, this is because they can only sell the EvoX when they have sent their onsite technicians to the latest EVOX training issued by MMC.

sounds like its an intake for the car.

WOW that's handy to know on2it - I wasn't aware that you could get the U.K FQ Evo updates in other Countries and have them installed by the dealer and have warranty on all of it - that's like a dream come true :)

Now hopefully the dream dosn't become a nightmare - what would be the cost of those above 2 upgrades, especially done by Mitsu in Another Country, I can see it costing a fortune ! :(

Oh, BTW it's a good thing Mitsu are forcing the issue of trying to properly train people from other Countries selling and handling the Evo !!! this is a big problem on alot of Euro cars sourced by Holden for eg. here in Australia, they have a lack of knowledge and expertise on them and eventually when you do have issues, they are unable to fix/solve the problems leading to much dissatisfaction and uneccessary over costs and time wasting for the customer....

I seriously doubt you'll keep your drivetrain warranty even if you get your dealer to do the install.

You'll only want the FQ360 after awhile with the FQ330 :)

^Probably, but i'm not a fan of replacing engine components or going single digits in my fuel economy :)

If its MMC factory certed you will. The parts catalogue on another thread on this forum is totally covered by MMC. Ive been in touch with my dealer about it, all I need is part number for them to add. Covered if installed by MMC. sooo - lets be honest they will charge a premium but it will be factory warrentee covered. NOte this may be different from dealer to dealer, do check with your own dealer, but mine is certainly cool about it.

Mitsubishi Evo X prices announced
First official pictures

18 December 2007 18:07


Mitsubishi has just announced prices for the tenth evolution of its Lancer, and it will cost considerably more than its rival from Subaru. The cheapest Evo X will be £27,499, £2504 more than the Subarua Impreza WRX STi.

But if you’re not in the market for the all-out, all-paw Lancer then fear not, because the base 1.5-litre front-wheel drive model will cost only £12,499, just £4 more than the equivalent Scooby. A five-door Sportback model will follow, going on sale on 1 September 2008.

And what if I want something to fill the gap between the shopping trolley and supercar-slaying models?

There’s now a mid-range Evo to answer your prayers, and to take on the WRX Impreza. Called the Lancer Ralliart, it comes with a 237bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, four-wheel drive and a twin-clutch transmission. No word on prices yet, but expect it to cost at least £22,000, over two grand more than the manual Subaru.

But what about the full-on Evo X?

Oh yes, that little chestnut. There are three trim levels; GS, GSR, and GSR SST. GS only gets you a five-speed manual, whereas GSR means six forward gears, while the aptly named GSR SST gives you the twin-clutch Sport Shift Transmission. The Evo X makes 290bhp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, although it's called the FQ-300.

Any other FQ models?

Available from launch will be both FQ-330 and –360 models with HKS power upgrades. The FQ-330 gets an ECU re-map amongst other tweaks, while the FQ-360 gets even more go-faster goodies, including a Sonic hedgehog-esque vortex generator on the roof.

Power outputs and performance figures will be available shortly, but prices have been announced. The 330 model will start at £30,499 in GS-spec, while the 360 will be £35,499. GSR-spec will set you back a further £2k, and the twin-clutch transmission is currently not available on the FQ models.

Do I read the above correctly in saying that they have a 6spd MT listed there ?????

What's that all about ??

I know that a 6spd MT would be highly desirable for alot of people on the new Evo X

I strongly feel, Mitsu will introduce a 6spd MT on future Evos...

^I'm with ya. However, the strength of the transmission would be a concern.

There is definately NOT a 6 Speed manual only 6 Speed SST, all manuals are 5 speed only.

As for the FQ upgrades they are only available in the U.K. The warrenty is provided by CCC (Colt Car Company) in the UK not Mitsi and its CCC that has commisioned the FQ work to be undertaken by HKS.

The racing suction pipe is the connection between the turbo and the filter apparently.

the pipe from the turbo to the filter

Mmm, can't wait for Top Gear to get their hands on the 360!

cant wait till they get their hands on the standard X :)

I’m new to the evo all together. Did they ever offer performance parts from dealerships that won’t void the factory warranty?

welcome to the community.not entirely sure can someone chime on this but they may have.

It might differ from dealer to dealer. My dealer can bring in perf parts out of the mmc catalog and its still under warrentee as long as they install them.

Haha, true. Knowing them they will only put on one X... and they will want the mightiest of the lot!

People, please consider the source for some of these posts. We're talking about cars on three different continents here (New Zealand, U.k. and U.S.)*

1.There is no FQ car in the U.S. It a U.K. thing only.
2.You can't get the parts from your dealer.
3. You sure as hell can't expect to keep your warranty with any of those packages.
4. I never understood the lust for these cars, you are much better off building the car yourself.


*Yes, I know those are contries and not continents.

4. I never understood the lust for these cars, you are much better off building the car yourself.




Its important for some if they wish to keep the warrenty, which some say aint worth S**t, but I have used the warrenty twice on my FQ car.

I'm just excited to see the reviews on TG. I'm gonna be breaking my warranty anywho so these uber expensive upgrades would be useless to me even if they were available here. And I like to do as much of my own work as possible...

i agree its better when you build that way you know whats going on and you can always retrace what you did.

1. Agreed. NZ market and different from elsewhere
2. Yes you can get perf parts off the the official MMC parts catalogue from your dealer (well in NZ you can) Instead of FQ, Ralliart NZ usually have the NZ upgrades that are signed off by MMC and under warrentee if you jump through the usual (and expensive) hoops.
3. Yes its much cheaper and better to build the cars yourself.. but the warrentee means alot especially if you consider that this is a new car, new drivetrain and systems.. better to keep under warrentee safety net until all is known about the car. This all is non-consequential if you're a millionaire or have money through sponsorship backing you.

For #2 that's not an option for us in the states and for #3 your best best would be not to mod. Here in the U.S. the warranty is useless.

The BR330 and BR350 were supposed to retain some sort of factory warranty.

These warranties were only valid from dealerships who sold the BR series Evos. If you took it to a non-participating dealer, you were screwed.

Keep in mind that the FQ series of cars were, in the past, only available in the UK. They incorporated a lot of HKS parts, which it seems this new model will be doing. Also keep in mind that the Brits like to use the numbers to reflect brake horsepower, not wheel. If that's the case, a 330 is not a TREMENDOUS gain. Buschur Racing and a lot of other private shops tried to build packages for their cars based on the popularity of the FQ series of Evo, but it never really panned out.

'Dragger' and 'Racing Suction' were terms used by other products in the HKS lineup and I think that's exactly what is going on the new FQ.

We had an issue with a car built at Turbotrix that was warrantied at the dealership that Turbotrix had contracted with to sell their 'performance packages'. Not only did the dealership not warranty my friend's car, they laughed at him and told him to leave the premises or be hauled off by the cops for tresspassing. We eventually had the transmission checked out by a local shop and found that the shift fork was broken. Sadly, here in the US, a majority of Evo owners drag race their cars and that puts tremendous strain on the transmission and driveline related components. Even without modding the car, someone who continuously drag races an AWD vehicle will eventually get a very expensive and embarrassing lesson as to AWD dynamics. They end up resorting to bringing the vehicle to a dealership and the dealership has to warranty the vehicle if there are no signs of aftermarket parts or abuse. A lot of people bring up Moss Magnunsen and it is true, that an aftermarket part cannot be blamed for a non-related part failure, but just like seven degrees of separation, the manufacturer can use the same letter of the law to show that there was a relation. It's hard with cases like this, because it becomes a conscience thing. You want to help the guy out. Unfortunately, with the CT9A chassis, a lot of the people brining these cars back in for warranty work had never even gotten an oil change there, but expected a $3,000 warranty job to be done lickity split. Dealerships have what is known as 'good will' warrantable leeway that can be used for a certain amount each month. Most CT9A owners hardly come in with a 'good will' attitude though. Service advisors are people too and I've seen my guys get trashed with threats of lawsuits and bodily harm if they didn't fix a problem on an Evo. Would you want to help someone who threatened you? Once a service advisor says 'no' then your only resort is to climb the food chain of Mitsubishi warranty division and you will definitely run the gauntlet. My car, as modded as it is, went in for warranty work on the ETACS system not too long ago and it wasn't at my dealership nor did I pull out any employee pull. The technician admired my engine bay and said he was glad to finally see an Evo that was done right. It's tough to convince someone that you're car is set up right when you have zip ties and loose vacuum hoses strewn all about your engine bay with a layer of oil residue thick enough to hide the original color of your valve cover.

and what i hate is that the brits got an Billstein/Eiback on GSR/GS compare to usdm that only the sst will have it.

Have I read the pdf doc right? Is the FQ series in the UK unwritten by Ralliart?

Anyone know if that Vortex Generator will be available for individual purchase like the VIII's and IX's have?

I love the style of it.

That would be Ralliart UK (A.K.A Colt Car Company, the official importer for the UK)
