The Evo 10 was released in Australia this week. But here’s a few quick facts you might not know about the evo…

If you are trying to decide to go for the classic manual transmission gearbox or the semi automatic dual shifting gearbox. Well based on our experience, choose carefully because if you are going to drive the car hard, early indications are that while the seamless shift semi autimatic transmission gearbox is technically very advanced, the down side is that it is not really up to it when it comes to taking it to the track and giving it a work out.

We have already heard some early examples of these cars with these transmissions being taken to the track and the gearbox overheating and effectively putting the car into a limp mode after a simple couple of laps.

So, our feedback to begin with is to go the convervative route with your manual transmission where you get to shift gears yourself.

Did you know that the factory official Evo 10 models in the UK actually has a modified converted factory ecu using the EcuTek tuning software? This package is on all the Evo 10’s sold by the Mitsubishi factory they then also offer the FQ model that has been available since the Evo 7.

Stay tuned and we’ll post some more Did You Know’s about the evo soon.
