All the old receipts from my local Mitsubishi dealer at the top, current and old MOTs, service history booklet, Trackstar info, old tax discs (and the new one due to go in the car in a week’s time), owner’s manual, HPI certificate, V5 document etc:

Boot shot – note strut brace not shown, brackets are in the photo and the carbon cross tube is also included in the sale
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...e/DSCF4151.jpg
And here’s the reason I’m selling it – I have owned 2 Evo 8s now for 6 months, and as much as I like the Black one, the Silver one has best part of 600 bhp, and I want to spend more money on that one.

Good luck with the sale Si, few months to early for me or i'd have snapped it up.

Lovely car.

I was looking for a car exactly the same as this before i bought my range rover , always the same that what you want pops up to late

Stunning looking car with the perfect wheels

stunning car ,if or whenever i get sense i would love that car :DD:
best of luck with the sale



cheers james

Thanking you ta Radders :grin:
Jump in the Silver one next time you see me at a track day, and see why I want to hang on to that one and sell this one :DD:

Thanks Paul, a Range Rover Sport would have been on my shopping list too but reliability issues worry me. Lovely motors though, the Sports and the full fat version :top:Yours for the big one looks bloody nice :respekt:

Thank you James :grin:

Love the Wheels, Fancy a 3 Door? :cry:
Rich

Id let my 3 door go to get this :top:

Good advert mate, and stunning car.

Can I ask where you got the antiroll bar and cusco brace upgrades from, looked everywhere and cant finds these aftermarket parts.
Would you have a link?

regards

very nice good luck selling it:top:

luvin the reg - ''cya'' i bet u say that quite alot mate in that :)....good luck with the sale dude!!

This is a cracking car, l have been out in it a few times with Si and for the kods it really does shift, the wheels look great, and knowing Si it will have been very well looked after,

Good luck with the sale

Mike

The wheels were made for that Evo, looks perfect mate if only i had that sort of money!

cracking price si

nice

Lovely car and one i've always admired - if it were next summer i'd have bought this. Good luck with the sale.

very nice mate good luck with the sale

Thanks Rich, doubt anyone could pry that 3 dr out of your hands, you've had it ages haven't you?

I do like 3 doors, and in Black would be just right :respekt:

But I need coins to keep modding my Silver one, and buy some kind of decent diesel car for the 55 mile drive to my girlfriends place.

Damn it, stop tempting me, nearly sold all my old Cossie spares!

No link I'm afraid, I got them off a mate of mine on the MLR (Mitsubishi version of this place) when he broke his Evo 7.

If you go on the Wanted section on that Forum and put up a post, a trader should be able to help, or someone will know who retails them :top:

Cheers Andy :king:

Yep, I've overtaken a few people in my time :cry:

It's looking as good as it ever has in my ownership. My other plan was to swap the nice bits over from the Silver Evo on to this one, as I'm really attached to it. This car with 600 bhp would keep me amused very nicely :shocked:

But too much work to swap it all around sadly :sad:

I'll swap it for the loan of your dingy? The tender on your boat's probably worth 5 times what this is!

PS, care to exchange your ride in my car for a ride in your daily transport?

Thank you, I thought the same and really lucked out with these wheels. They are in absolutely mint condition, and set the car off a treat.

I have another set in 18" size for the Silver car with some cut slicks. I like BBS rims a lot :grin:

Merci buckets to another 3 door owner, damn nice cars - note to self "Resist the urge to buy a 3 door!"

Thank you :DD:

Will hold it for you for a deposit of £10k, aren't I generous? :DD:

Thanking you ta :king:

Ye i'll have had it 6 years on the 1st of December, but I love the look of the EVO, in the first photo it just looks amazing I think it's mainly the wheels they are ace.
Rich

Mine wont need any spares :cry: ive spent enough on it :top:

love evos mate!kind of wish i got one rather then the 3 door!

Looks stunningh and worth every penny!

Your 3 door is stunning too Doug :king:

Tough choice for me when I broke my Saph, as an Escos or 3 door were 1st choices. AJ off here had taken me out in his mint Tommie Mak Evo 6 though, and that kind of sold it to me, I love the instant punchy power delivery, and everything is of course newer - nearly 10 years newer compared to an Escos for example. Just means for my use, they last longer or work better £ for £.

Still would love a 3 door or Escos track car, but kind of hooked on the Evo thing at the mo!

Si

Really nice looking car, decent spec list too.

What is something at this sort of tune like on fuel??


Cheers,
Grant

Love this Evo, Good luck with the sale Si :top:

lovely car! Exactly what i'll be getting when I sell the escos me thinks!

oh god what the hell am i doing in this room:tiff:

must resist, must resist:cry::cry:

I will defo have a evo one day prob alot sooner then i first thought,would either be a 8 or 9,cant make up my mind woth the 10's yet!i reckon a evo like yours as you have put alot the the bits on her already!and take it up too 450bhp would be a cracking road car!:top:

Welcome back james,i can hear your wallet scream from here :cry::cry:

:grin::cry:

Basically the same as a standard car unless you choose to rag it. The mods only drink more fuel if you use the power - ie on a track instead of getting say 12mpg you'll get 10 or something.

On the road, it's fueling comes under close loop lambda control, so is as good at 350bhp or 450 bhp as a car at the original 260 bhp.

I got 25 mpg on a fast run on the roads, 27-28 on a sensible (75-80 mph) motorway run. They're not known for economy to be fair, but then nor are Cossies or any other 200 bhp + petrol car.

The car is mapped to run on any 97+ Ron fuel, so unlike some Evos, you can fill up at Tesco, BP or Texaco no drama rather than just Shell V Power, which is never around when you want it!

Thanks Helen, I'm sure my Evo will miss one of it's more regular passengers ;-)

Would love to see an Evo done up like your Escort Scott, not many bufties in the Evo world, and those that are normally more standard cars.

Special deal for MSD staff, this weekend only!

I'm the same with the X, although some well modded examples look pretty good. Won't go wrong with an 8 or 9 :DD:

If I hadn't bought the new Evo with big power, a forged GT3076 motor would have found it's way into this Evo - 450 bhp is a really nice safe power level :grin:

You right james you should stop coming in this section!your even starting to see things:content::cry:;-)

yer i agree si!would be a cracking car!

VERY nice mate, always said to myself i wouldnt buy another Evo but having seen this one its well tempting!!!!

Is that what they are selling for these days or have you priced it well under book?

Good luck with the sale

Chris :)

Thanks for the info mate... sounds a shitload better on fuel than my Impreza STi was anyway!! £60ish of V-Power got 150-170 miles. :cry:

Car looks stunning though, sure it'll be snapped up pretty quickly, bet the boys on MLR are pretty tempted.


Cheers,
Grant

Aww have enjoyed being a regular passenger at track days :top:

I have aimed this post in Dave's direction as with breaking Yum and Evo maybe a choice over a new Focus RS :DD:

hi sib great car and advert left the rs500 scene and joined the mlr never looked back.

dont suppose you want to do a straight swap for my 3dr si?

its almost there to be running!

Would save some money of a Focus RS, plus it could be a nest egg in the future.

Bad point is he would talk to Mark at MAD :cry:

its been "almost there" for ages :cry:

tbh, if my escort was sold i'd be coming for a look at this car!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Just think if i broke my saff into parts i could have a lovely evo like this. fuck sake :cry:

I feel i need to move along from the cossie world
