Up for sale is my 2003 JDM Lancer Evolution 8, an extremely regretful sale as it has easily been the best car I have owned and if my circumstances were different you would not be reading this thread. After owning civics, skylines, surpas and silvias I can guarantee this is by far the best car in my opinion. It has a great mod list and in my eyes is the perfect street Evo, it looks tough and it performs.
It has had almost all modifications installed exclusively by Meek Automotive and recently returned to them for a full drivetrain service + AYC bleed where they commented that the AYC Pump sounded in excellent condition. It is coming up for a 100k service however the timing belt was replaced when the cams were put in so it will not be necessary to swap for quite a while yet, this is the most expensive part of the major service. I had the accessories belt replaced less than 10'000km's ago.
There is almost nothing that the car needs, it is in perfect working order and ready to drive around. However, it is due for a tune. I thought it best to leave this up to the new owner as everyone has different opinions about who is the best tuner and I have taken this factor into consideration when pricing the car.
Power? As I mentioned the car is due for a tune. To be honest I'm not sure how much power it makes, feels like 220awkw but the previous owner of the car advised me that it made 244awkw at a dyno day. With the way the mods list reads and depending how you want to tune it, this setup should be see 230-250awkw.

I often get comments on how amazing the car sounds with the cams. People who have heard it at meets can attest to how good it sounds at idle, extremely tough. Why sell? Time to buy a house! Keen to free up some cash and start playing a different game for a while. Car will be professionally detailed before sale, not that it needs it. Comes with WE-34-PN plates.
Price: $24500ono. No test drives without a deposit. Don’t lowball me. Don’t dream.
