For sale is my 2003 Evolution VIII. I’m the second owner of this car; I purchased it from an older gentleman in Rhode Island back in 2010. It was pretty much stock when I bought it, besides a Buschur Racing exhaust and a reflash. It’s been garaged in the winter ever since I’ve owned it and minimal miles have been put on it each year since it’s been in my possession – I work from home so, this is pretty much my weekend pleasure car.
Last summer my buddy who owns a local shop convinced me to go all out, build the motor and add a bunch more power…needless to say, it didn’t take much convincing, so I gave him the go ahead to tear it down. I didn’t have him build it because there was a problem with the motor – it was running 100% before the overhaul. Joey, my mechanic was actually amazed in how good of condition the motor was it when he took it apart. The pistons, rings, bearings and cylinders were all it top shape (I have the original pistons that will go with the sale so you can see for yourself). What I’m getting at, is that this car was properly cared for and maintained through the years.
After the build, which was completed in June 2012 I had a local dyno shop break-in the new motor with a pre-set 5 stage break-in process on his hub dyno. Once the motor was properly broken in, I took it down to Ivey Tune in New Jersey and had Sean Ivey do a proper tune on it. It’s somewhat conservative with more power left on the table if someone chooses to squeeze more out of it.
I tracked the car once at a NHMS road coarse event last summer and the car performed flawlessly – no issues what-so-ever and it was a blast to drive, almost scary fast. Everything runs 100% now and needs nothing. Oil and filter changes every 2000 miles or less with Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic 5w 40. The only small gripes I have with the car would be the rattling throw-out bearing you can sometimes hear on decal (which is normal) and a few minor cosmetic blemishes such is very small paint nicks on the hood and front bumper, only noticeable up close and couple of the Brembo’s are faded a bit . This is a race car, not a luxury vehicle so if you want luxury, I suggest you look elsewhere.
My reason for selling is due to unexpected family issues. If could keep it I would and I’ll hate to see it go after all the time and money I just put into it. Below is the list of Mods. I have ton of money in parts, labor, and tuning invested. All parts are brand new and were installed at 77,854 miles. There’s currently less than 83,000 miles on the odometer. Most everything was purchased through MAPerformance – a vendor on this site.

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.
2014 Mitsubishi Mirage arrives in US this fall
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mitsubishi dealers have been painfully starved of fresh product for ages now, with their most recent new model, the bubble-shaped i electric car, already requiring a serious sales jumpstart. We've known for a while that help is on the way in the form of an all-new Outlander crossover, but we've basically only had loose confirmations to go on that the Japanese automaker would eventually reintroduce its Mirage subcompact to the American market. Today, those rumors have turned to reality, as Mitsubishi has confirmed that the five-door economy car will hit US dealerships this fall.
Every subcompact player needs a trump suit, from Ford's tech-rich Fiesta to Honda's impossibly space-efficient Fit, and the Mirage's calling card figures to be its fuel economy. Mitsubishi says it expects its 2014 Mirage to achieve 37 miles per gallon in the city and 44 on the highway (combined rating of 40 mpg) when equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Those figures are good enough, Mitsu says, to earn it the title of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicle sold in America that isn't a hybrid.
Of course, Mitsubishi isn't outlining any additional specs at the moment - not even engine configuration. We're expecting the company's 1.2-liter three-cylinder, which in European spec delivers a modest 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque. The Continent's Mirage weighs under 1,900 pounds, but the normally aspirated triple still makes for leisurely acceleration of 11.7 seconds to 62 miles per hour. It will be interesting to see if Mitsubishi makes some powertrain alterations to better suit American expectations.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV rallies in WAVE 2014 as support vehicle
Wed, Mar 12 2014Hey, we found somebody willing to drive a new Mitsubishi i-MiEV over 1,000 miles. The little-bitty four-seat electric vehicle will be used on the other side of the Pond as a support vehicle in the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE) road rally through the Swiss Alps this spring. Brian Orr from EV Matters Ltd. made the purchase, as he'll be providing the support vehicle for Green MotorSport Ltd.'s hand-built utility concept vehicle that's being built with an eye on deploying it in developing countries, the Auto Channel says. Another i-MiEV will be an official, 900 kilogram-plus entrant in the rally, which begins May 31 in Sindelfingen, Germany and finishes a week later in Rigi, Switzerland, with 20 towns or so in between. As many as 70 teams will be joining the party which, in 2013, set a world record for electric-vehicle parades by sending 305 of them very quietly through Zurich. Despite a tiny price tag, i-MiEV sales in the US (where it's simply known as the i) have come to a near halt as Mitsubishi gets ready to shift its plug-in focus to PHEVs. While US i sales jumped 75 percent last year to 1,029 units, the Japanese automaker has moved just four units (!) domestically during the first two months of 2014.
