1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V

[acsmyth]

Picked this up today, have been twisting the owners arm for 8 months to sell it. He finally gave in and I'm delighted he did.

Its a 1998 import with 76,000 miles on the clock. Only imported into the UK in 2016 and been kept in heated garages ever since.

The car came with the full Japanese service history which is a massive plus.

I can't get over how good the condition is of the car. It's pretty much stock apart from tein springs, terrible rota alloys, blueflame exhaust and some light engine tuning.

Currently sat at around 370BHP, but it's mapped for 99 octane. So it'll be getting mapped by Jonny swiftly for our inadequate fuel.

Plans for the future are:

- Link ECU and map
- Proper alloys
- Ohlins Suspension
- AP Racing Big Brake kit
- 2.2 Stroker kit and 400/500 power wise

Sorry for the pictures, taken by previous owner ill get some decent pictures up soon.

Awesome I am extremely jealous, if only I had a set of testicles and could steer

 

[southsky sunrise]

Yes please that’ll do nicely thank you very much ok then

 

[Smurf.]

All kinda cool there

 

[bob]

Awesome, that is an evil looking car in black! Seen a IV today for the first time in years, the 4-6 are a scarce car got.

 

[acsmyth]

There's only about 48 Evo V on the road in the UK as it was never sold here. (according to the interwebs)

Import only car.

Its the first black Evo V I've ever seen, so I had to have it.

 

[Terry]

Looks first class

I love seeing that era of cars on the road

 

[Smurf.]

To be truthful if its not an 80s or 90s jap car i have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. Couldn't care less about it lol. Jdm cars of that era have so much character and just proper mean. Thats a proper car and your money is better there than in any bank.

Absolutely funking stunning!!!!

 

[Burt2000]

Now that’s the dogs balls. Love it and it looks properly clean underneath so will only go one way money wise. Very hard to get like that now and with the pound going the way it is it’s getting harder to import nice stuff. Health to tune, plans sound great, they are a brilliant car.

i miss mine so much

sold to help pay bills

even if your on you knees and living under a bridge these things will only go up in price from now on health to enjoy

 

[BarryPort]

Proper car from the best era. My favourite Evo & the lightest of them all if I remember correctly. Jealousy hanging out of my here.

 

[gpaevo]

Thanks, you've just thrown me into the depths of depression, I'm still hurting from selling mine years ago lol. I used mine as a daily for 3.5 years.

 

[acsmyth]

After the drive home I can see why you'd feel that way.

The steering, engine and everyday practicality is on another level to any car I've driven.

 

[Big Pimp]

Wow. Back when an evo looked properly aggressive!

Love them - health to enjoy!

 

[Philljdm]

Looks great any interior pics?

 

[acsmyth]

Looks great any interior pics?

Not yet, I'll get some decent pictures taken over the next few days.

 

[300trophy]

Awesome! I bet that is some thing to steer with 370bhp. Really aggressive looking in black too!

 

[gav525]

Love that, really suits black!

Health to drive

 

[Stu Beck]

Very nice. I like the wheels.

 

[bill]

outstanding

 

[acsmyth]

Very nice. I like the wheels.

Wheels do add to the look, but they are 9.5 inch wide on stock arches. So don't really fit.

 

[veedubnoodle]

Love this!!! Interested to see how you put your own touch on it, plans sound really good

 

[scub]

lovely
can't believe how clean it is underneath. won't be many left like that now.
nice set of white or bronze alloys would set it off.

 

[Shannonsir]

That's just all the epics , and so refreshing in black. Beautiful.
