Jewtoys Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 This thing kinda fell into my lap. The car has been here since 2000, and basically sat for years. I received a random Pm on another site about the car. I wasn't sure at first if I even wanted it as I've been looking for a I or II but felt like I might regret passing on it. So I decided to purchase it last minute, looked at plane tickets yesterday and a one way flight was almost 800$, no thanks not for a flight under two hours. Ruled out towing it with my truck as I didn't want to deal with a truck and trailer in a main city. Booked a rental car and left yesterday after work around 5PM.... Didn't get to my destination till 3:30am, grabbed a hotel for the night. Meeting the guy was a hassle and had to make a few different stops to pick up all the spare parts that came with it. It's a EVO IV with every HKS part that was ever made for it �� It was converted to LHD back in 2000 when it was imported by a well known rally shop. The car came with two sets of big money Ohlins coilovers, and already has a set on it currently. Tons and tons of service records, and every little part or upgrade has receipts. I even have the EVO IV owners manual, which is pretty cool even though I cannot read it. I will post up some better pictures later on, currently eating my dinner and preparing for the rest of my 10+ hour trek. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/408837311.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/408837312.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Never seen a IV in the flesh. Hope to see it out at C&C sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Very cool-kind of stank they converted it to LHD but no biggie. I am sure you got a good deal on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHD is terrible in a non RHD country, I'm glad. That was a selling point in itself for more. Pretty good deal, of course ha. Could pawn all the extras that were included and probably easily get back half... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm pretty quick with the math conversion, I still find myself sneaking a peak at my Garmin display for mph when I've got the nav on in the cars. Great find. You've got all the best toys!
