Well it’s come the time to let go of my Evo. I have had this car just about 6 years now. It is a 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII. The car has currently 122,XXX miles. Just a little over 3000 miles on the full engine build which has never seen over 20lbs of boost. Timing belt, balance shaft belt, tensioner were all done at this time as well. First I will go over the pros and then obviously the cons.
Current Mods PROS:
• Greddy Competition Exhaust
• Map External Dump Pipe
• Evo 9 Turbo ( No side to side or in and out shaft play)
• Evo 9 oil housing line kit
• 3.5 FMIC
• Injen UICP
• Injen Intake
• Mishimoto Radiator
• Walbro 255 Fuel pump
• Manley H Beam Rods
• ACL race bearings
• Balanced crank
• CP Pistons(9:1 stock bore)
• Spoolin up Coil Pack
• RC 1000cc injectors
• GSC S2 274/274 cams
• GSC Beehive Springs
• Ferra valves
• Synapse DV
• Honed block and machined head
• Gates timing belt
• ARP L19 head studs and ARP Mains
• Buscher LICP
• Buscher coolant hard pipe
• AEM wideband, JDM Prosport 60mm Boost and Oil Pressure guage.
• Hallaman MBC
• HKS Turbo Timer
• Tuned on E85
• Bride Low max Seats
• Beat Rush rear Floor bar
• ( have an extra tubular manifold heat wrapped)
• (Evo 7 tails Slight chip on the driver side light, Not installed on car Selling seperately )
• (EBC red stuff brakes front and rear less than 500 miles Selling Seperately)
• Carbon Fiber Hood ( Could use a buff)
• After market Front bumper Voltex rep
• After market extreme dimensions JDM rep ( Fitment is ok, wouldn't advise buying one)
The car has a basic break in tune. It’s fine for driving around daily and getting into a little boost. But if you want the car to shine I would go get a more final tune. This car is the perfect platform for over 500hp get a larger turbo, larger injectors, and fuel pump (I have a walbro 450 for sale) and you will be well on your way into the 500hp club
Now for the CONS:
- Vehicle will have a salvage title. Due to prior damage can provide pictures upon request. To keep it short a lady ran a red light and hit me in the rear driver side quarter panel about 500 miles after my full build. This incident took place in 2013. I got the car fixed and have been driving it since.
( So the funny story is the DMV says the title is clean and clear because the damage wasn't enough..but the insurance company claimed it's was a total loss at the time of the accident.. so my title shows clear ( I went to the DMV today) and I ran a carfax today shows total loss on history report) so I'm not sure if the state has a different amount to what is considered a total loss compared to Geico....) ( Carfax > DMV)
- 5th gear is a hit or miss I’m assuming the synchros are on their way out. I was going to get it fixed but I only drive it in town since its running on E85. So I’ve never needed to go into 5th.
- Missing A – Pillar plastic on Drivers side
The only reason I’m selling is to get a wake board boat. So I might be willing to a trade plus cash on my end for the right boat.
Price: 11,000 obo
