Lancer Evolution

The car looks mint! I really regret the fact that i sold my Evo 8 MR 400. It was a fantastic car. I used it almost everywhere. Road trips, track days and of course in daily use. Then i decided that i wanted a totally track car for competing in Time Attack series, so yes, i totally dismantled it, tuned it, racing and after a 5 years ownership and two winning titles, i sold it for a totally stock Evo 6 Tommi Makinen edition. This is a really great and rare car.

 

How timely. I just drove a stock Evolution RS. I forgot those existed. Fun car, wind down windows and all.

 

Yes, maybe the best choice that i've made about an Evo. How many kms/miles has your EVO 9. The car looks like new. It is very beautiful.

 

Cool car. Enjoy. I had an X and drove the hell out of it. Poor thing had a tough 3 years with me.

 

What a beast - and very rare to find one all-stock Congrats!

 

I think Renault, (Ghosn) who calls the shots at Nissan will make that decision. They won't want a competitor.

 

I have a slightly modified Evo 10. Bought it new in 2008 and drive it every chance I get. Horrible in traffic but it's amazing in the mountain roads of Oregon.

 

I got the chance to ride in this car on Friday and it is, well, yes, a beast!

 

Is it for sale? Asking price? (feel free to DM me if necessary)

I had a mint very low mileage Evo 9 MR a few years ago, and regret selling it. I concurrently had an Evo 10 MR as well, which I tracked the heck out of (and daily drove), but it didn't feel as special as the 9.

I'd love to have another one. But I only want a low mileage unmodified car.

 

Gray market Evos were being imported to US all along. Evo IV was the best ever.

 

Many more than some, hundreds. Any given rally race in late 90s into late 2000s would have several. Here in NE US, the Irish would be half the entrylist full of Evos. The entire podium here.

TAD Motorsport made a living in the US running Evos here. And the factory Hyundai team ran Evo drivetrains. Nobody cared if they were here legally.

My job flew me to an east coast rally to pick up a street EvoIV in 2002 being delivered by TAD. I was to drive it cross country to Seattle to pick up my boss at airport to prepare stagenotes for Olympus rally. TAD delivered me a RHD car on a different Evos license plates and on gravel rallytires 12 hours behind schedule. They said "don't get pulled over." Nobody knew if gravel rally tires would make it cross-country. By the time I hit N Dakota, I was flat out and sideways over Cascades to pick up the bossman on time.

Here is me giving my kid a ride a couple months ago in a RHD Evo IV.

I love the evo'S.
I had an evo 9 GSR which I sold and now own a 6.5 and and Evo 8.

Both fully done up and would put accelerate most supercars up to 280 ��

Both in orange ��

Cool! It looks like you have a future motorhead in the passenger seat!

 

Great cars. I had a few WRXs and STis in the 2000's. Finding a stock and low mileage car has to be nearly impossible.

 

I still have and drive (winter conditions mostly) a 1G DSM AWD 4G63T. As for being low miles, its on 4th engine rebuild and transmission recently rebuild w/ EvoIII bits and double syncros.

Rallyracing both Evos and STis, the Evos seemed to suffer more electrical gremlins and Sti more gearbox woes. Subarus fly far better than Evos. Subaru faster in twisties, Evos on the straights. And Evo giuys love the anti-lag. kapow. kapow, kapow.

 

Very nice find on the non-molested Evo!
