Am I right in thinking in North America you guys have the choice between a GSR and MR? What are the major difference between the two?

Incidently, optional extras haven't been announced in the UK yet so i've only listed what comes as standard.

Also does anyone know the different models being sold in Japan and the standard spec for those?

So you guys don't get an option for higher power models at all? I don't know much about the automotive market there but do you expect some higher powered models at a later date from Mitsubishi, or will it be down to aftermarket additions?

Mitsubishi UK state that all models of the car must be fuelled by Super Unleaded as well, which over here is 98-99Ron. How does your petrol/gas compare?

[Gumbö]

They say it has to be super unleaded but the M3 I had said the same and I never bothered with the prices as they are. It still works just has more shite in the fuel mix i guess.

Gary A

no we just have what comes from the factory and whatever performance part from mitsu its at an extra cost.

IIRC, 98-99 RON is like 92 here, give or take.

 

[UnctrldRage]

Wait so does this mean the SST can handle a little more power.

Well we're getting it with 300Bhp as far as I know.

I heard a rumour that Mitsubishi UK are going to test a 330 horse power SST for 12 months before they will consider putting it out on the market because they are unsure how much the transmission can take.

[Gumbö]

Thats exactly what I heard too. But Im not fussed if I want a flappy paddle gearbox I'll go on the Xbox. Im more than happy with a 5 speed manual

 

[Joeyk39]

I think now all models have AYC, ACD, SAWC. Before US lacked AYC, if I'm correct.

 

[pltek]

USDM doesnt get the following:

1. intercooler sprayer
2. AFS

post #1 on the forum !!!! BRAVO !!!

 

[Kooldino]

AFS?

Welcome, pltek!

What fuel did you use if you did not follow the manufacturer's recommendation?

 

[GAmbrose]

It would be 95 Ron in the UK, i've no idea what your equivalent would be...92 maybe?

Gary A

 

[pltek]

its the adaptive "something" system for headlights so when you go around corners the beam is adjusted a # of degrees to better light the road

now i think of another one that i thought USDM cars were getting, thats the auto folding mirrors, like most of the jdm cars get.

oh well, as someone pointed out on evom.net, we got the most important features this time around, but my feeling is that Mitsu cut few of these systems out to compensate for the additional $$$ they had to spend on the airbags for US market.

AFS?

Welcome, pltek!

^Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
AFS is a lighting system that automatically turns on an additional lamp which follows the direction of the steering wheel turn to further enhance night-driving safety

 

[GAmbrose]

I don't think the UK get's that either.

We get electrically folding mirrors though.

[darmawaa]

Indonesian get JDM. My SST Premium Package will come next week. Bought seat heightener and small lip rear spoiler already (remove the big wing). Want to install EcuTek, HKS complete exhaust. Ecutek+exhaust should be 340whp.
From evolutionm.net
I just spoke with ecutek ( england ) they have finished the software development for the X. They are seeing 320 - 330 whp on a basic flash on a bone stock X. I was over in england last month and they have had an ecu for about four months, doing development on it. From what they told me .. the car responds great and there is alot of power to be made with the car.

Software and can bus cable .. will be available to dealers withing the week according to ecutek...

P.S. dont ask me what dyno .. because i dont know

Their car was at WRC ... in new zealand, they did all the R&D with it..
