Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Owner Presses On Gas, Pedal Breaks Off

One Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution owner was understandably surprised when the gas pedal on his nearly new $40,000 car snapped off right under his foot. With just 2000 miles on the clock of his Evo X, the owner claims he was driving "with a little enthusiasm," pressed down on the gas pedal "as I normally would", at which point he claims the piece of asterisks broke off completely.

ChargeSpeed Releases Non-Functional Carbon Parts for 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X

Yesterday, we were surprised and relieved to see that the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR managed to package real Evo performance into a package that was both livable and restrained. Now it seems the aftermarket is doing everything possible to counteract both of those qualities with tacky, non-functional carbon add-ons that will once again make the Evo the preserve of the ricer. The worst offender? The fake vortex generator that sticks onto the rear glass. The new Lancer shape doesn't suffer from the same aerodynamic difficulties that the old model did, rendering this completely and utterly useless. ChargeSpeed, you should be ashamed. [Via NihonCar]

Mitsubishi Outlander Gets Evo-Style Twin-Clutch SST Transmission For Euro Market

We don't really understand Mitsubishi anymore. They once offered a selection of great cars combining looking good and going fast. In the last couple of years, we've felt like their design department has lost their way, the quality has slipped and the only car worth talking about is a boy-racer sedan with a sticker price above forty large. Take for instance the latest announcement from Mitsubishi that the European version of the Mitsubishi Outlander will be fitted with the high tech Twin-Clutch SST transmission from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

HKS Mitusbishi Lancer Evo X Gets HP Boost And Suspension Upgrades

The new Mitsubishi Evolution X is already a great performer, but what happens when you give it to a tuning company like HKS? No surprise, they've made it better. The HKS Evo makes 382 HP, about 97 HP more than the standard Evo. Even better, that figure comes at 6230 RPM, about 790 revs lower than the power peak from the factory. The grunt comes from an HKS engine pack that includes a new intake manifold, a tweaked engine control unit, and an uprated turbocharger.

Mine's GT-R Runs 59.4sec Lap of Tsukuba, Coming To US?

No, I'm not saying that I personally have a Nissan GT-R. I'm talking about Mine's, the Japanese Tuner of Gran Turismo and Best Motoring fame. Recently, they brought their R35 GT-R with all the Mine's go-fast goodies to the Tsukuba Circuit to do some testing, and they left with a best lap of 59.367 seconds. To put this in perspective, a normal R35 GT-R will run a lap of about 1:02, and a new Mitsubishi Evo X or Subaru STi will do it in about 1:06. To run a sub-one-minute lap is a benchmark for turbo-crazed JDM tuners. Of course, with a notable lap time, there are always factors (weather, driver) that have little to do with the actual car. Either way, the Their's Your's Mine's GT-R is indeed an impressive piece of kit. They've upgraded the suspension, exhaust, brakes, intake, rear spoiler, and the computer chip. Still in development are parts to further aid the aerodynamics of the mirrors, hood, front canards, front spoiler and side outlets. And what's even better— we hear they're bringing it to the US.
