So I was having a boring day at work today when I got told to come have a look at a rather rare car.

Upon arrival I found this, and please excuse the horrible iPhone pics.

The only MR FQ 400 here in South Africa, has 5200 genuine miles on the clock.

 

Wow, awesome find. It def. had at least one owner....I see a few mods. First thing I would remove is that horrible SSQ BOV. and blue hose. What kind of exhaust does it have? What turbo if you can read printed on the housing? and what number is this FQ400?

 

Beautiful evo!!!

What's up with the front aftermarket lip hanging over the stock lip?

 

And for the sake of my interest what shocks? lip, brand? and tire are on the team dynamic wheels?

 

Its had 3 owners between the UK and here from what I was told.

Its the stock HKS unit that was supplied with the car, same with the boost piping etc. SSQV I dont think is stock on the model.

Turbo I never got a look at but its a 70 trim turbo .. apparently rediculously laggy, never got to drive it, hoping that will happen later in the week.

This one is model #076

Lip is not OEM sadly, a locally sourced replacement part.
Never took a look at suspension, can go look tomorrow to confirm ( Had a closer look at the pic, the mr bilsteins)

Edit, I forgot I took a pic of the rims and Tyres lol

 

Great. The calipers look funny...those probably been upgraded too. Those Brits sure do love. Road racing. I bet somebody from MLR recognize it.

 

They are the stock alcon 6 pot calipers that came with the fq 400

 

Looks like 6-pot AP racing calipers.

 

Nice! I want those mirrors.

 

why doesn't it have a MAP sensor? or is it located in a different spot on those cars

 

i like throttle cable re routed already from the factory.

 

Actually all rhd evos are like that...it's really the usdm models where the cable is "re routed".

 

Different turbo, cams, tune, i/c piping, hks full exhaust, hks intake, brakes, the wheels.
It's such a clean car.

 

It comes factory with a Motec Ecu, so running speed density from what I can gather.

 

Wow what an awesome car!
