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 scores record global operating profits

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

In the minds of many auto enthusiasts, Mitsubishi has become an afterthought. It has transformed from a company known for its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive rally machines into an automaker with a very boring lineup. Maybe we are being unfair, though. While the company doesn't have much of a performance presence anymore, the Japanese brand is doing quite well financially.
According to Reuters, Mitsubishi Motors had an operating profit of 123.4 billion yen ($1.2 billion) worldwide for the fiscal year that ended in March. That's twice as much as last year and a new all-time record for the Japanese automaker. It's even paying dividends to investors for the first time in 16 years, and its expected profit of 135 billion yen ($1.3 billion) in the new fiscal year matches a goal it had set for itself to achieve two years from now.
The automaker currently focuses much of its efforts on Southeast Asia, which accounts for about a quarter of its sales. It will put even greater attention there in the coming years with more local production, according to Reuters.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Angry dad smashes son's Mitsubishi with Xbox

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

It's normal for parents to get frustrated with their kids sometimes. Moms and dads have high hopes for the success of their brood, and when the youngsters let them down, it hurts. That's not an excuse to be destructive, though. Especially not to the point of destroying a Mitsubishi Montero Sport with an Xbox 360 like in this video.
The clip claims to be about a dad upset that his kid doesn't have a job and stays home playing video games. The guy takes his anger out not just on the console but also his son's car. The Mitsubishi definitely takes its fair share of the punishment here even after the Xbox is broken.
If this were real, it would be a pretty horrifying fight to watch. But while we can't be entirely certain, we're almost positive that this argument is completely staged for a number of reasons. The major one is that the same uploader also has videos with millions of total views of the same "Psycho Dad" dropping an Xbox in a pool, running over games with a lawn mower and taking an axe to a laptop. Furthermore, just looking at the clip itself, people don't generally wait for the other person to stop talking when yelling at each other. It also seems a bit suspicious that the kid directly speaks to the audience at one point.
