Time to move on and sell my beloved 2004 Mitsubish Evo 8MR.

$49,990ono for a well modified car using only quality parts, perfect for someone who wants to do some trackwork/Duttons etc.

Open to offers and swaps (for equal or lesser value, not more).

55,xxx kms

4 months rego

Other than the standard MR goodies (very supportive Recaros, HIDs, auto window/mirrors, rear wiper etc) it has the following mods (well over $20K worth):

Built Tomei 2.3L stroker (crank, pistons, rods)

MoTeC M800 PnP

Cosworth 272 Cams

Trust PE2 turbo back exhaust

Bosch 044 fuel pump

ORC twin plate clutch

KW Variant 3 coilovers

Endless CC-X front pads, Ferodo DS2500 rear

18x9 +29 Advan RS (including a spare, no tyre on it)

245/40/18 Federal something tyres

Seibon carbon fibre front lip

Suede covered steering wheel

Ralliart rear strut brace

Maitland Performance half-cage with harness bar, weld in (can be removed if buyer wishes)

Sabelt 4-point harness

330hp and 485Nm on the ASG hub dyno. With the extra 300cc and stock twin scroll turbo its a torque monster and is a thrill to drive. Upgrading the turbo would be the next logical step...

All mechanical work and servicing performed at ASG in Malaga, receipts available.

Selling as a complete package at this stage but will consider separating if the right offer is presented.

PM me or SMS/call 0421 799 948 - not always able to answer my phone at work (before 4pm) so if I dont answer leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Solid lines is current

Because its on stock turbo (TD05) and runs out of puff by that stage, with the 2.3 this car is all about response and low down grunt.

Turbo kit would be the next upgrade for anyone who wanted to go that way, but for me this is much more suited to street driving.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
