Description
2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-320 in Cool Silver Metallic.
A true driver’s machine, meticulously maintained and upgraded to deliver outstanding performance. 73,000 miles with just four previous owners.
Dyno-proven 409bhp with supporting modifications, including an uprated intercooler, HKS Super Dragger 3-inch exhaust system, HKS induction kit, HKS blow-off valve, upgraded fuel pump, and upgraded radiator. Private ‘EVO’ number plate included.
This Evo has undergone a comprehensive underside restoration, with the chassis stripped back to bare metal, repainted, and sealed. Brand new OEM Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs (sourced from Japan) have been installed, along with new hardware and ancillary components. The braking system has been completely refreshed with new discs, pads, and brake lines, while a full set of Yokohama tyres have been fitted. A full service – including engine and gearbox oils, coolant, brake fluid, and AYC fluid – has also been carried out. Over £7,000 has been invested by ourselves to futureproof this Evo for its next owner.
The service book boasts 23 service stamps, documenting an outstanding maintenance record with work carried out by Mitsubishi Ralliart, specialist tuners, and renowned performance garages. Key services include a timing belt replacement at 66,260 miles and a recent service at 71,204 miles.
