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).

http://carsales.com.au/used-cars/private/M...=83&trecs=1

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.

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
