Up for sale I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR with 7,555 original miles! That is NOT a typo! Seven thousand five hundred and fifty five miles! This is definitely the lowest mile EVO IX you will find for sale today or in the future. There might be a few other unicorns out there in the wild but if it has lower mileage than this one, the owner probably won't be selling it anytime soon! This is your chance to basically rewind the clock to 2006 and almost buy this car brand new! Look at the pictures, your eyes are not deceived!
This car has sat in a garage in Texas since 2007 which is why it is so well preserved! I'd like to think I'm a pretty honest guy so because of that I try to disclose everything I know about a vehicle that I'm selling. I bought this car as an investment back in July of last year. There is a reason why this car has sat since 2007, the engine chipped piston #1. I don't know the full story but I can only assume that the original owner turned the boost up with a manual boost controller and the car wasn't properly tuned which lead to higher EGTs and piston #1 failing. It could also be a fluke but since I've worked on these vehicles professionally since 2006, I'm more inclined to believe the former rather than the latter. So I guess it's time for me to tell you a little bit about myself so you know who restored this beauty back to it's former glory. My name is Greg and I own UCS Performance located in Beltsville, MD. I've been working on EVOs professionally since 2006 and under my own company's banner since 2010. EVOs that I have built or have had a hand in building have won numerous events in road racing including the 2007 NASA TTR class National Championship beating Buschur Racing and Robi Spec, multiple Redline Time Attack victories on the east coast in 2006-2008, two SCCA T2 class National Championships and multiple year division champion for car #34 owned and driven by Marty Grand just to name a few! Now that I've established some of my pedigree, let's get back to this beautiful wicked white EVO IX GSR. This is a one owner car that like previously stated had an engine issue that caused this car to sit in a garage in Lubbock, Texas until last year when I bought it. The owner was a non smoker and thanks to the favorable weather conditions in Texas this car was well preserved with no rust taking hold of her. I paid a premium for this car because of the ridiculously low mileage. Finding a car with this low of mileage, especially for the much desired EVO IX is extremely difficult. On top of that, it's wicked white! There were about 3500 EVO IX GSR's imported into the country and wicked white is the second rarest to electric blue. The vehicle came to me with the cylinder head removed and in a box. The damage to piston #1 was quite evident. Not horrible but the piston definitely lost a bit of it's crown. There was no bore damage and a simple quick hone was able to restore the bore to its OEM state. I purchased a new piston and ring set and installed the new piston with the ring set gapped to the proper specs. The cylinder head went to one of my local machine shops to be refreshed and resurfaced since it had been sitting for several years. Once I received it back I reinstalled it with a new OEM headgasket and new OEM head bolts. The turbo was inspected and there was no damage to the turbine wheel from piston #1 losing a bit of it's mass. The vehicle also came to me without any seats as I guess the previous owner sold it for whatever reason. I installed black leather seats from a IX GSR that had the SSL option package. I think the black leather compliments the white color perfectly, much better looking than the stock blue and black Recaro's that came in the vehicle originally. The seats are in great condition and came out of an EVO IX that had about 35k miles on it before it was converted to a race car. While I had the car on the lift I went through her with a fine toothed comb. All fluids were replaced due to her sitting for almost 7 years. Engine oil and coolant are obvious because of the repair to the engine. I also flushed the brake fluid and replaced all drivetrain fluids with OEM fluids direct from Mitsubishi. This includes the transmission (MT 75W-85), transfercase (Diaqueen LSD gear oil), ACD system (SP III) and the rear differential (Diaqueen LSD gear oil). The brakes and CV joints were checked, wheel bearings were checked, all bushings and boots were checked and nary a problem was found. This car is in FANTASTIC shape! The OEM clear coat on the Brembos is in great shape with just a hint of fading starting to appear around the brake bleeders. A compression test has been performed after the repair to the engine and the compression numbers are right at OEM specs. OEM specs for the MIVEC version of the 4G63 found in the EVO IX is 140 PSI. The results varied from 138 PSI to 145 PSI. Damn near perfect! There is video below of the compression test! The vehicle is totally stock except for three things. First the windows are tinted. Second it is on lowering springs. I'm not exactly sure which ones, but it's lowered. I do have stock springs in case someone really wanted that but I think it looks great just the way it is. Lastly it's on aftermarket wheels and tires. The wheels are HD Tuning Clutch wheels in black. They are 18x9 and wrapped in Nitto INVO's with a 245/40/R18 tire. Both the wheels and tires are BRAND NEW. The pictures below do not reflect the fact that the OEM undertray IS installed on the vehicle. It was removed to service the vehicle and has been reinstalled after I took pictures of the squeaky clean underside! The vehicle has a clean title with no liens. There is a lien on the title but it HAS been released! When you do a search on this vehicle you will see multiple titles reissued to the same owner. Once at its original purchase, again in 2009 which must have been due to a lost title and then again in 2013 when the original owner screwed up filling out the title and had to have a copy reissued. Finally, on to the important part, the pictures!
Obviously this is a large purchase, you may call me at my shop at 301.595.1795 to discuss the vehicle if you so choose. |

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure
Wed, 07 Nov 2012By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
Mitsubishi admits it lied about MPG ratings for all vehicles in Japan
Wed, May 11 2016Like the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal, news about Mitsubishi's lies over fuel-economy ratings for its Japanese market vehicles is going from bad to worse. First, it was just a few kei cars. Then it was vehicles made as far back as 1991. Now Mitsubishi has admitted deceptive mileage test data could affect every vehicle it has sold in Japan, but not vehicles sold elsewhere. We suspect that this will not cause the EPA to relax its request for more information from the Japanese automaker to see if any vehicles sold in the US are affected. Mitsubishi Motors North America has said its US numbers are legit. In a letter to the Japanese government, Mitsubishi said that even though its managers knew getting good fuel economy ratings was a difficult task, they didn't ask too many questions of the engineers actually doing the tests. That allowed those employees to fake some of the numbers. Exactly what the repercussions will be in Japan is not known, CBS News says, both in terms of fines or penalties and how to compensate people who bought these vehicles. Reports are also just coming in that the fuel scandal might lead to Nissan taking control of Mitsubishi. More on this as it develops.

Mitsubishi teases an electric SUV concept car for 2019 Geneva Motor Show
Tue, Jan 29 2019News from Mitsubishi comes pretty slow these days, but it looks like something new is arriving at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Today, the Japanese automaker revealed a teaser for a vehicle called the Engelberg Tourer, set to debut in early March this year. Details are vague, but we'll break down what we know. Mitsubishi says it's bringing "more SUV, more EV, more technology and more style." We'll be the judge of that last one — the Eclipse Cross is evidence enough for apprehension about Mitsubishi "style." What we appear to be looking at is an electric crossover concept, similar to Mitsubishi's other recent crossover EV concept. This one looks a bit different from the front, though. Then there's the name: Engelberg Tourer. Admittedly, it's a peculiar name for a concept car, but Mitsubishi says it's named after a rugged Alpine town in Switzerland with a history of sporting success. A quick internet search doesn't turn up much in the way of automotive history there, but it does appear to have some rally and off-roading heritage. Based on the rugged look of the front-end, we imagine this SUV is designed for fun once you've left the pavement. The slick blue lighting up front hints at the concept's electric powertrain. In the teaser, the light bars up top look sleek and minimal compared to massive units we see on some off-roading machines. It appears as though Mitsu is planning to show off camera side mirror tech in this concept, too. We'll have more news on Geneva and this Mitsubishi concept in the lead up to the show at the beginning of March, so stay tuned. Related video:
