(404 obligatory bag of milk not found) Mitsubishi Evolution IX GSR, in a color you don’t often see in Evos, Electric Blue. Bone stock except for an Exedy twin-disc clutch and an intake. Decided that my old Legacy just wasn’t cutting the mustard for me anymore (it’ll be FS: soon). Got it home last night from Ohio, there is zero corrosion on the underbody. Paint is immaculate, interior is in 9/10 shape. Kinda loving this thing, it’s got bawls. Highway passing in top gear is just point-and-squirt. Cam phone on lowest settings, apologies for quality. All set in the new home ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832905/fullsize/whole_garage.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832905/fullsize/whole_garage.jpg) ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832885/fullsize/evo-outside-front.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832885/fullsize/evo-outside-front.jpg) The color really pops, it’s gorgeous ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832888/fullsize/evo_rear.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832888/fullsize/evo_rear.jpg) Grungy from the 500 mile trip home, but in amazing shape ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832887/fullsize/evo_int.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832887/fullsize/evo_int.jpg) ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832901/fullsize/reflection.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/832901/fullsize/reflection.jpg) Classic RWD V8 or modern AWD turbo 4?

Swap the turbo 4 into the fastback and the big block into the Evo. You could get more sackriders and haters than newman. ---

I think my head would implode. It would probably make the 'Stang faster, and I’d have to drive the Evo from the backseat 😛 Car’s going to stay nice and stock, timing belt and snow tires are in her future. Going to just maintain and enjoy - the '68 is where any automotive-upgrade money’s going. And even that is playing second fiddle to house investments, right now. :tup: > glad i could help > > i have TONS of stock stuff, if you ever need anything let me know Thanks again for your take!

I wonder what it had done to it before it was sold to you? Nobody puts in a $2k clutch on a stock power car. ---

Good pick up! Let me know _when_ you’re ready to do a cam swap. I have the valve spring tool and everything. Also, Elma automotive is a baller place to get your timing belt done. Pat really knows his shit, he did my car for a fair price and had a quick turn around time. His shop is pretty local too. > [@theblue](#): > > I wonder what it had done to it before it was sold to you? Nobody puts in a $2k clutch on a stock power car. A lot of people do that. EVOm pretty much has standardized the twin disk clutch upgrade to the masses. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/went-out-for-a-car/161888.md?page=2)
