Ok now the evo 9 FQ versions have just come out will they unvail Evo 9 MR's sometime next year like they did with the 8?

Also ive read that the 9's have 2 piston rings per piston as the 8MR has 3. Will this affect long term reliability in anyway?... Just wondering whether i should go for the 9 over the 8MR thats all

i have heard the 9 has a two part piston ring
while the 8 has a 3 part piston ring

anyways from the recent best motoring video the results in the 400m were in wet conditions
evo ix rs - 13'27
spec c - 13'50
evo 9 gsr - 13'44
wrx sti - 13'68
evo 8 mr rs - 13'79

so i would pick the 9.
plus imo the 9 is better looking than the 8

but i am not sure how the mivec will handle heavy mods....?

Wait until I get the car back with the Vortex Generator, Ralliart R-01's and Cusco suspension - and then we'll talk about 'looking like a VII'. Hmph!

However, in completely standard format the EVO VIII MR (gun metal grey only) is by far the best looking model they have ever made.
