After 3 weeks of looking and multiple failed bids later, I interduce you my first Evo, 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GT-A it's a auction grade R with interior B, it has a small rear end repair history but overall very clean car, it has just under 84,000 kms, and it comes with Work XD9 Emotion wheels. You might be wondering why I didn't get a manual, I couldn't find a vehicle that was in my price range to get a manual especially with a 20k budget. I do plan on doing a manual swap in the future so at least that makes up having a automatic during the mean time. Can't wait for this car to arrive to Canada! If you have any suggestions what I should do engine wise let me know.

Current Plans:
OOP inspection
DRL
Tires (if needed)
All fluid change
Air filter replacement
Spark plug change
Timing Belt Kit

Future Plans:
Complete manual swap
GSR headlight
GSR or Depo taillights
GSR front bumper
GSR bonnet
Evo 9 rear bumper
GSR recaro front seats
GSR steering wheel
Coilovers
HKS Exhaust

 

Congrats! The 7's are damn beautiful. I've been trying to source the front clip for the longest!

Be ready for orbital gear to go poof, been a lot of that lately. And some sort of rust protection!
