EVO8 prices have been going up at Japanese auctions recently - to the extent that your car is at a lower price than what some importers here are offering. Black is a great colour too.

I presume that there's absolutely no rust in the rear undercarriage quarters?

Have you advertised yet in evolutionOz or equiv?

It's already on EvoOz, Terry.

Looks clean and good price! Still recommend buyers take any import in for a pre-purchase inspection before buying.

I'll prolly cop a warning for this, but mind PM'ing a link to your 8MR build thread if you have one, Terry? :P

First of all guys if you dont have anything better to say ,just dont say it .posting warning for cars which you haven't even inspected .

i already have offers for 19 k and i want to sell it not throw it and would be happy to keep until the right buyer shows up.

Like i said buyers are most welcome for any inspection ,Absolute no rust ,will post more pics ,Car is advertized for less price considering " rego and odometer reading".and can keep 1 car in garage .so pls keep ur comments to urself

As Nick and Terry have said, this is a great car at a great price - knowing that there's absolutely no rust.

I saw an EVO VI at TSI for $23K and yours gurpi, is a much better deal > a bump from me as well as from Nick and Terry.

I dont think they were trying to have a stab at you mate, rather help you out and encourage you to keep your head up throughout the sale, whilst implying evo 8's prices have been rising in Japan, which means they shouldn't be dropping at such a progressive rate here.

Rust can be tricky sometimes and well concealed, I doubt they were saying yours is one of them, however they were supporting that fact by implying it is important to have any evo inspected professionally prior to the purchase, so both the buyer and seller are on the same page to aid in understanding and agreeing on anything that requires attention.

Nonetheless, looks like a very clean example, goodluck with the sale and hang in there!

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 馃ゴ
