Picked up another EVO....

Recommended Posts

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.

Very cool-kind of stank they converted it to LHD but no biggie. I am sure you got a good deal on it. :)

 

 

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...

Very nice! Need some more pics

 

 

Km/h is annoying.

Quick shot, coils need dropped a little. Has rare Evo VI lightweight OZ wheels as well

Welcome to my world. :) 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!

I have the conversion down now, glancing at the speedo I would do a double take Everytime.

 

 

I will trade all mine for yours? :lolguy:
