This well maintained, never raced Evo X GSR sits in a garage all day as I (a professional, responsible 30-something, who has owned three Evos now) am moving onto a "family car," as I'm getting married and starting a family. The car comes equipped with a turbo timer (to protect the turbo and prolong turbo life), and is now ipod ready, with only 10k miles on new 30k tires. The only other modification is an ECU tune by Vishnu Performance Systems (reviewed with the same tune by Edmunds on youtube) for an efficiency and slight power upgrade.
Brake pad life is still good based on the last inspection and oil change done 100 miles ago. All records are maintained, just as the car has been. The interior and exterior are in great condition, as it has always been kept in a garage when not driven. There are no other performance modifications done to the vehicle, as those mods are obviously added to improve performance and acceleration, which is something sought by owners looking to race their cars. I was simply just one who enjoyed driving the car. As I mentioned, I've owned two other Evo 8s in my younger years, both heavily modded, as I wanted to be the fastest car on the road. This car represents more of who I am now... over the hill. That all being said, you won't find any wear due to racing the vehicle. The clutch has never been replaced, and is still very strong, again, as it has been launched fewer times than you can count on one hand.
As I said before, the only reason I have to let go of the car is because my fiance and I are getting married in a couple of months now, and have recently purchased a Chevrolet Avalanche to haul the groceries and kids around. I've also taken a job 40 miles away from home, and now drive the fiance's old Civic to work as it's more sensible economically, while she drives the family car to her office 2 miles away from home.
In short, other than a couple of paint chips and a wheel scratch from a curb, you won't be disappointed with the vehicle's condition. Test drives are welcome to locals or those who can arrange to make it to Los Angeles.

Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.

James May was hospitalized after Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution crash
Tue, Aug 16 2022British auto journalist and TV host James May was reportedly whisked to the hospital after a crash during filming of The Grand Tour. The presenter was said to have been driving a yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII at 75 mph when he crashed into a tunnel wall. Fortunately, The Sun reports that May, 59, broke a rib during the crash and required x-rays and a brain scan before being released from the hospital in mostly good health. This was not always the case with the former BBC Top Gear hosts. Famously, Richard Hammond received severe injuries from a 2006 crash at 280 mph in a drag racer. Hammond was also involved in a fiery crash of a Rimac One in 2017, but walked away mostly uninjured. The details of the crash are a bit vague, but apparently it involved a challenge where May was supposed to drive the Evo down a long tunnel at a naval base in Norway. The Sun describes the stunt as taking place in the pitch black passage, with lights only illuminating as the car drove by. With mere seconds to react, May was unable to brake in time from 75 mph and slammed the Evo into a wall. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The segment apparently involved May, Hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson taking AWD sedans to the Arctic Circle. Two other cars have been posted to social media by Clarkson himself and by fans, as discovered by Motor 1. Those cars are a Subaru Impreza WRX STI and an Audi RS4. After the Evo's destruction, the Subaru and Audi continued on without it. The cars were driving in Norway six months ago, but May's hospitalization is only now coming to light. Thankfully Captain Slow, as May is nicknamed, is alright. As for the state of the increasingly endangered Evo, however, we'll just have to wait until the next season of Grand Tour airs.
