I have the fast key and every time I start my car is seems to take a extra second to turn over and start the engine. Is this normal? Today I just started it and almost didn't it took so long?

Evo X's have kind of a weak start... the combination of a relatively weak starter motor and the battery being in the back of the car makes it seem weaker/harder to start than other cars on the market.

Completely normal IMHO. Now, if the car is taking more than 3 or 4 cranks to start, it could be tuning-related.
