Up for sale I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR with 7,555 original miles! That is NOT a typo! Seven thousand five hundred and fifty five miles! This is definitely the lowest mile EVO IX you will find for sale today or in the future. There might be a few other unicorns out there in the wild but if it has lower mileage than this one, the owner probably won't be selling it anytime soon! This is your chance to basically rewind the clock to 2006 and almost buy this car brand new! Look at the pictures, your eyes are not deceived!
This car has sat in a garage in Texas since 2007 which is why it is so well preserved! I'd like to think I'm a pretty honest guy so because of that I try to disclose everything I know about a vehicle that I'm selling. I bought this car as an investment back in July of last year. There is a reason why this car has sat since 2007, the engine chipped piston #1. I don't know the full story but I can only assume that the original owner turned the boost up with a manual boost controller and the car wasn't properly tuned which lead to higher EGTs and piston #1 failing. It could also be a fluke but since I've worked on these vehicles professionally since 2006, I'm more inclined to believe the former rather than the latter. So I guess it's time for me to tell you a little bit about myself so you know who restored this beauty back to it's former glory. My name is Greg and I own UCS Performance located in Beltsville, MD. I've been working on EVOs professionally since 2006 and under my own company's banner since 2010. EVOs that I have built or have had a hand in building have won numerous events in road racing including the 2007 NASA TTR class National Championship beating Buschur Racing and Robi Spec, multiple Redline Time Attack victories on the east coast in 2006-2008, two SCCA T2 class National Championships and multiple year division champion for car #34 owned and driven by Marty Grand just to name a few! Now that I've established some of my pedigree, let's get back to this beautiful wicked white EVO IX GSR. This is a one owner car that like previously stated had an engine issue that caused this car to sit in a garage in Lubbock, Texas until last year when I bought it. The owner was a non smoker and thanks to the favorable weather conditions in Texas this car was well preserved with no rust taking hold of her. I paid a premium for this car because of the ridiculously low mileage. Finding a car with this low of mileage, especially for the much desired EVO IX is extremely difficult. On top of that, it's wicked white! There were about 3500 EVO IX GSR's imported into the country and wicked white is the second rarest to electric blue. The vehicle came to me with the cylinder head removed and in a box. The damage to piston #1 was quite evident. Not horrible but the piston definitely lost a bit of it's crown. There was no bore damage and a simple quick hone was able to restore the bore to its OEM state. I purchased a new piston and ring set and installed the new piston with the ring set gapped to the proper specs. The cylinder head went to one of my local machine shops to be refreshed and resurfaced since it had been sitting for several years. Once I received it back I reinstalled it with a new OEM headgasket and new OEM head bolts. The turbo was inspected and there was no damage to the turbine wheel from piston #1 losing a bit of it's mass. The vehicle also came to me without any seats as I guess the previous owner sold it for whatever reason. I installed black leather seats from a IX GSR that had the SSL option package. I think the black leather compliments the white color perfectly, much better looking than the stock blue and black Recaro's that came in the vehicle originally. The seats are in great condition and came out of an EVO IX that had about 35k miles on it before it was converted to a race car. While I had the car on the lift I went through her with a fine toothed comb. All fluids were replaced due to her sitting for almost 7 years. Engine oil and coolant are obvious because of the repair to the engine. I also flushed the brake fluid and replaced all drivetrain fluids with OEM fluids direct from Mitsubishi. This includes the transmission (MT 75W-85), transfercase (Diaqueen LSD gear oil), ACD system (SP III) and the rear differential (Diaqueen LSD gear oil). The brakes and CV joints were checked, wheel bearings were checked, all bushings and boots were checked and nary a problem was found. This car is in FANTASTIC shape! The OEM clear coat on the Brembos is in great shape with just a hint of fading starting to appear around the brake bleeders. A compression test has been performed after the repair to the engine and the compression numbers are right at OEM specs. OEM specs for the MIVEC version of the 4G63 found in the EVO IX is 140 PSI. The results varied from 138 PSI to 145 PSI. Damn near perfect! There is video below of the compression test! The vehicle is totally stock except for three things. First the windows are tinted. Second it is on lowering springs. I'm not exactly sure which ones, but it's lowered. I do have stock springs in case someone really wanted that but I think it looks great just the way it is. Lastly it's on aftermarket wheels and tires. The wheels are HD Tuning Clutch wheels in black. They are 18x9 and wrapped in Nitto INVO's with a 245/40/R18 tire. Both the wheels and tires are BRAND NEW. The pictures below do not reflect the fact that the OEM undertray IS installed on the vehicle. It was removed to service the vehicle and has been reinstalled after I took pictures of the squeaky clean underside! The vehicle has a clean title with no liens. There is a lien on the title but it HAS been released! When you do a search on this vehicle you will see multiple titles reissued to the same owner. Once at its original purchase, again in 2009 which must have been due to a lost title and then again in 2013 when the original owner screwed up filling out the title and had to have a copy reissued. Finally, on to the important part, the pictures!
Obviously this is a large purchase, you may call me at my shop at 301.595.1795 to discuss the vehicle if you so choose. |

Japanese government chides Mitsubishi over recall delays
Sat, 27 Apr 2013An official with the transport ministry in Japan has some stern words for Mitsubishi, taking the carmaker to task for not being more proactive and honest about its recalls. An investigation into The Tri-Star last December found Mitsubishi was tardy investigating problems and didn't explain itself forthrightly to the transport ministry about the issues. None of Mitsubishi's actions were illegal, and we should stress that this is a dialogue with Mitsubishi in Japan, not Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The official advised the automaker to, "Come up with plans for improvement, implement them and report them to the ministry." It looks like the company will get more practice than it wants in that department, having to announce another recall for the Outlander PHEV over software and hardware glitches. Those recalls come just after Mitsu finally figured out the problem with overheating lithium-ion batteries that caused a production halt of the plug-in hybrid SUV.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander earns Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]
Fri, 02 Aug 2013The Mitsubishi Outlander officially is a safe vehicle, earning a good rating in all of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash test categories - good enough for the agency to give it the Top Safety Pick+ award. The small sport utility vehicle's little sibling, the Outlander Sport, received the Top Safety Pick award earlier this year.
According to the IIHS, to earn the Top Safety Pick+ rating vehicles must be rated good in at least four out of the five crash tests (including the difficult small overlap front test) and earn no less than acceptable in the rear crash test. The Top Safety Pick rating requires that vehicles be rated good in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear tests, but there's no minimum rating on the small overlap front crash test.
Mitsubishi designed the Outlander to have greater roof strength (the roof now can support up to five times the SUV's weight) and to withstand the moderate overlap front crash test and the recently introduced small overlap front crash test, both of which evaluate the ability of vehicles to protect their occupants in crashes that bypass the traditional front crumple zone. Crumple zones are designed into vehicles to allow them to deform in a way that protects passengers in the event of a crash. The Outlander was one of two small SUVs to earn a good rating in the small overlap test, the other being the 2014 Subaru Forester. The Subaru earned a Top Safety Pick rating.
MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance
Fri, Feb 26 2016Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
