Hi Sarawak,

1) MR series doesn't came with sunroof if recond unit from Japan (stock condition).
But, if brought over by Mitsubishi Malaysia (Local AP) it comes with sunroof for Non-MR series.
The roof slightly different compare to others. It have a FIN at both side edge (right/left).
Please refer the picture as a original 8MR roof.
Basically MR body parts are lighter & materiel is aluminum .

2) In the Pink Slip/Grant it only state as Mitsubishi Evolution 8 (normally-maybe the salesman too lazy to write down the MR)

3) The meter should written "LANCER" as per picture. But if he change then different story.

4) MR steering is black color not silver (for non MR series, but this can be change)

5) Gear console also written LANCER EVOLUTION MR (unless he change lar...)

6) Better to find someone familiar with EVO to check on the unit.
Maybe can ask Mr. Ah Kit/Evokit (012-610-7616) to look over.

7) You can also check the Manufacture Year from this link (thanks to khsim):

8) A friend of mine also bought the E8MR with E9 bodykit conversion (bumpers & side skirts) . But all the listed above stay intact.

Hope this might helps....

[sarawak]

Dear all the Senior...
Just short question: please inform me regarding this 2

1. EVO8 come with 2 spec or only 1 spec???: 5 gear and 6 gear??
meaning that evo 8 got 5 gear and 6 gear..is it true...???

2. Evo8-MR: come with only 6gear.(This is confirm rite..???)

So we can conclude that evo8-MR come with 6speed gear, and evo-8 come with 2 spec..5speed, and 6speed gear..???is it rite???
