So, some 8 or so years ago, my dad burnt the clutch on his evo 9 while doing some spirited driving, before being able to repair the car, he lost his job, had a depressive episode, and basically life happened, he eventually recovered but never got around to repairing the car, fast forward to now, I was saving money to buy a car and thought I’d try to convince him to let me repair the evo, to my surprise he said yes

The car is almost stock, it only has the following mods:

-cat delete

-fujita intake system

-tein coilovers with EDFC

it currently has 25k Km (around 15k miles)

I’m in the early stages of restoring the car, so if anyone has any tips they’re very much welcome, if there’s interest i’ll make update posts of the restoration process


I copy and pasted this post from the one I made on r/cars since people there told be you guys might enjoy it too!

 

Wow lucky and amazing that it's so low mileage but the title is misleading I though you found it for free it should say you inherited it haha

 

Here’s what I did to mine to basically restore it.

Evo values discussion thread post

 

PS, congrats… you’re freaking stoked!

 

WOWZA! You absolutely must do a build thread, just to document progress!

 

wow thanks! I'm already covering most of what is mentioned on that thread but I'm taking notes on a couple of things i hadn't thought about!


​​​​​​​I will!

You lucky **** That's a Gem, it only needs Love!

 

Very nice of your dad to gift you an Evo 9! Congratulations.

By the looks of it, there really isn't anything wrong with it. It may just need a clean up, fluids, battery, and a clutch to get it going again.
