I have owned several evos in the past.

This car is still on the stock clutch

Tuned at 20 PSI

Im worried that this car may be a little to many mods.

The mods that throw me off are the fuel pressure regulator and HKS ground system.

He says its been the stock turbo the whole time and its been to the track twice for testing. What ever that means.

Asking $27000 with 15K on the clock 06 evo 9 SE

Here is the info
for sale 2006 evo 9 SE edition. This is very rare car and was build by professional . These are some of mods that was installed.

I know a fair amount about these cars but i dont know why you would need a HKS ground system idk what that even is.

Also a fuel pressure regulator would you need this for a stock turbo car?

Thanks

Please let me know your ideas

 

Let me know if you guys see any redflags i should worry about

 

I think he is asking for too much.

 

but should i be concerned at all with the mods? like i said before the fuel pressure regulator and ground systems kit through me off

Please help me out

 

Its almost impossible to find a car that hasn't had many mods on it. At least the post appears to be straightup. Its no different then seeing cars that appear stock but had been modified ot hell and the TCase/Tranny/Clutch is about to go out. Best bet is to find someone local and honest and try your best to gauge how truthfl they are being about there car.

 

ground system is not anything to worry about.I do think that guy is askingway too much for that car.You dont get to add the cost of your mods on the price of the car

 

The mod list sounds fine, nothing too extreme. Definitely over-priced though.

 

getting another evo already ian? haha

 

I really dont see much wrong with it. I agree with most that it is over priced...

A grounding system is about 5 wires, maybe more maybe less, that connect to the negative post on the battery. It gives your charging system more connectivity with the chassis making it work better. Some claim it gives you a bit of HP but thats kinda false. But it will help your electricals to perform better, lights, radio, gauges, things like that.

About the FPR. I had a SARD on my Evo 3 and it was there to control the over flow from the Walbro 255 I had installed. I had the stock turbo in there but when uping the boost and freeing up flow it needed more fuel that why those were put in. Theres nothing wrong with an aftermarket FPR it just helps with the increase flow of a high flow fuel pump.

 

OK so i have checked breaks look good nice and red still on stock clutch which is huge. Car is tuned at 19PSI the heat sheild is still in place and manifold bolts dont look to be turned at all. Car is in amazing shape inside and out.

Im not worried about price i will work on that.

So nothing in that list throughs a red flag he said he took it to the track twice but he must have not driven it hard because i know the brakes turn dark fast. Rotors are slotted and drilled though.

Seems like an honest guy.

What is the easiest way to tell if a Tcase or diff is going bad. Just listen for a whine?

 

HAHA looking into it. This car is very similar to the one i just sold you which PS i miss that thing like crazy! but this one is black which like i said my dream color!

Things are going good with the rental and i signed some year long leases so im thinking i might be able to pull it off!

Hows the car working out for you?

 

Grounding system does nothing basically.

A little expensive though, I can't see it being worth that much. Not even 25.

 

if you get it you better send me some pics

haha and thats good man. sounds like you'll have some good cash flow coming in

and its still going strong. i'm actually about to change the oil, put new brake pads on, put the test pipe back on and throw that carbon trunk on

 

I was wondering this as well. I'm planning on flying down to buy an Evo and was going to bring it to Mitsubishi to have a buyer's inspection. Would they catch this at the dealer?

 

how is the car tuned at 19psi when the stock boost is 20?
