Can anyone give an opinion on these evo 9 RS

I ran the VIN into a decoder. Looks like the Evo started out in life as an Evo IX RS. Might want to do a simple VIN number check to see if there are any body parts with different VINs. Also has an Evo 6 radiator.
Also some people failed to mention that it has an ABS system installed. An option that was specifically removed for all Evo RS. Other than that its easy to tell its an RS. All the sound deadening in the engine bay is gone just as the factory intended.

Wow, installing ABS is not the easiest of mods. Curious why that was done
I only know one guy that has done that to his RS but he races it

I didn’t even see the ABS in there good catch man well there is a stack of English racing paperwork with it so I’m heading today since I have some more time to look over all the paperwork it does have a fully built bottom and top end with cams and that Jaz I need to look at the turbo it pulls super hard but I couldn’t see down there while dark outside to see if it was an FP turbo or what it drives amazing to be honest and the thing hanging under the car Idk what it was because I couldn’t find anything under..
the front fender does need a new clip so that’s no bad and the snow tires I don’t care about it’s not going to keep that wheel setup for more then a month anyway lol

It's got RPF1s on it. Not a bad wheel setup. I totally overlooked the ABS as well myself. Its an aftermarket radiator so I am not too concerned about that. I put the evo 4 - 6 style radiator in my 8 too when I ran a full sized radiator as well just cause I never liked how the factory upper hose flows over the exhaust manifold. I prefer that personally over the 7 - 9 style radiator.
