Hi there just thort i'd show'd you my new toy...it's not an another rolla...i already have one. so i hope i am not hissed and booed off rollaclub..haha it's currently in the transfer / make road worthy status..

anyway

 

1998 MITSUBISHI Lancer EVOLUTION V (5)

Silver

90,000 km

the usual 2.0lt 4g63 turbo intercooled , 4wd, AYC, (active yaw control) momo steering wheel, 17" enkei wheels, recardo seats brembo brakes. front and rear tortion bars. adjustable rear wing.

 

anyway once it has a new clutch and a major service. she'll be ready for action..

all tho i did get to eat an xr8 when i test drove it..

These were always one of the nicer shaped evos

 

Nice work...... I"M JEALOUS!!!!! :(

Quite a find :(

 

If money was easier to come by i would opt for something like that for fun :y:

yes it was i haven't seen a 5 for sale anywhere. heaps of 6's tho there about 25.000 up wards.. i got this for 17.000 plus what ever the clutch and timing belt etc etc cost me.

love it. quite a score.

Nice. I'm not a fan of Bitsashiti's, but these aren't their average poorly engineered bunkies. Great find.

yeah true i wouldn't buy any other mitsubishi besides and evo ... a road going rally car is pretty reliable you would imagine.. and the 4g63 is pretty bullet proof from what of heard.

Nice score

 

I've heard the same thing about the old Nimbus motor

well had my first drama... the bloke who owns it was mucking around with the piping and didn't tighten it back up.. any way as i was driving it the pipe come off the intake manifold when it hit boost.. then just died at this point i shit my pants.... then realised i just had to put the pipe on.... but then because it was running rich with out any air going into it.. it made the plugs real dirty and it was miss firing.. so i had to take out all the plugs and clean them too....arh

 

Also replaced the front rotors and pads tonight on the brembos... stops real good now..

stops real good now..

 

 

I bet thats an understatement. Very nice. I think I speak for most of us reading this when I say, hit some dirt and fillum it. Show us what it can do!

I did the exact same thing when I rebuilt the head on a CA18. Left one of the intercooler hoses loose and after a 15 minute idle to warm it up, I gassed it down the street and popped the hose off. ..... Freaked me out, but it was piss funny once I worked it out!

yeah will have to get used to driving a 4wd fast and side ways compared to a FWd before any dirt comes into place.. plus the paint is too nice i'd be scared i scratch it... once the novilty wears off tho... bring on the carnage.. lol

 

yeah turbos are just another thing to worry about.... but so worth it for the fun they produce..lol

very nice car mate! is the body all original? (eg front bar?)

its all original except for the front bumper correct,, i noticed the intercooler has a little dint in the bottom of it so a assume the front hit something in previus life...would love and original one with the lights tho.

Its shit man! LOl its not a rolla! DUDE!!! U betray us! LOL... can't say too much myself.. I have a Ford now :lolcry: hahaha
