2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Gsr Sedan 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Beltsville, Maryland, United States
|
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 Lancer Evolution will live through 2015
Thu, 29 May 2014If it were only so easy for humans. Mitsubishi has extended the life of the Lancer Evolution X by at least a year. An MMNA spokesperson tells AutoGuide that it is "committed to introducing the 2015 model year Lancer Evolution," noting that production for said models will begin in July. This gives us a year of clarity about the future of a model whose future blinks in and out of existence quicker than a boson particle.
As far as we can tell, the Evo as we know it is definitely going to die, the question is when. In March, Mitsubishi said it "does not have any plans to design a successor with the current concept, as a high-performance four-wheel drive gasoline-powered sedan." What is rumored to fill the hole left by the Evo might or might not be a linear descendent, but is expected to be some kind of hybridized high-performance model about which much has been speculated.
MMNA PR manager Alex Fedorak told Autoblog, "Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is committed to introducing the 2015 model year Lancer Evolution in the U.S. Production of North American-specification Lancer Evolution models for the 2015 model year will commence in July 2014." Our previous advice still stands, however, even with the extension: If you want one, get an Evo while you can.
Mitsubishi bringing Concept XR-PHEV II to Geneva
Wed, Feb 25 2015Head to the Geneva Motor Show this year and you'll see what could very well be the next production Mitsubishi. Though dubbed a "concept," the XR-PHEV II is clearly closer to being ready for production than the first XR-PHEV concept it showcased in Toyko back in 2013. Spindly as they may be, this one actually has side mirrors, the bodywork is a little toned down compared to the previous concept, there are actual openings in the grille, and you can actually see what looks like a functional interior through the windows. Overall the shape of this urban crossover looks promising, reminding us a bit of the Lamborghini Urus concept crossed with a Lancer Evo. But at least as important is what's under the hood. That's where Mitsubishi has placed its latest plug-in hybrid powertrain. The system includes an electric motor good for 160 horsepower, juiced by a 12-kWh battery. Strangely, the Japanese automaker hasn't specified what it's mated to, exactly, except to say that it's a MIVEC engine – those being the letters Mitsubishi uses for its variable valve timing system and utilized on gasoline and diesel engines ranging from 1.0 to 3.8 liters and from three cylinders to six. The previous concept, however, utilized a 1.1-liter turbo three with 134 hp on tap. It looks like we'll have to wait closer to its debut for further details and photos, but for now you can scope out all there is to know so far in the press release below. MITSUBISHI MOTORS AT 2015 GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTORSHOW Feb 25, 2015 TOKYO - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will unveil the global debut of the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II[1] as well as the European premiere of the L200[2] pick-up truck at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show[3]. The Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II is a small SUV powered by a new plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) system and the all-new L200 is due to go on sale in Europe this summer. The Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II is a small SUV concept expected to be MMC's second PHEV following the Outlander PHEV launched in the UK in April, 2014. The new PHEV system presented in the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV II is a lightweight, compact and high-efficiency front-engine/front-drive system ideal for an urban crossover. The system is estimated to achieve very low CO2 emissions of below 40 g/km, among the lowest of any PHEV, while also delivering gutsy and smooth performance with excellent response with its 163PS electric motor.
Not a dry eye in the house for last Mitsubishi Evo X video
Fri, Oct 2 2015Say what you will about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution; we're going to miss this one when it's gone. Japan's rally car for the street is officially being phased out, and production is ending in Japan. But not before one Final Edition, and a final video showing the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive wonder being built. In Japan, the Final Edition is limited to a run of just 1,000 units. It's based on the GSR model with the five-speed manual transmission, but comes with performance goodies like Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and more. See it for yourself in the gallery, below. Over the course of 23 years, there have been 10 generations of the Lancer Evolution. And while Evo X might not be our favorite (this author much prefers Evo IX, for what it's worth), it's still sad to see Mitsubishi's iconic, winged sedan head to the grave. A sign of the times, Mitsubishi says the Evo "will be replaced in spirit" by a high-power, hybrid SUV. That's a tall order, and doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but we'll see. For now, say goodbye to the Evo X by watching the final production video, above. And just be thankful Subaru still makes its lovely WRX STI.
