Evo 8 MR FQ320
GH – CT9A SJGFZ
CT9A-030-3948
Silver
Had this car for a few years now and am extremely reluctant to sell it as I absolutely love it, will 100% miss it once it's gone but I have too many projects on the go and this is one that has to be cut...
I had started to refurb the subframe and front end which I have lots of pictures of.
Drives so good, and pulls well all the way through the box, due to the twin plate and flywheel the clutch can feel a little heavy but I have had no issues.
Plenty of time, money, and TLC spent on the car as you will be below. I have a folder with most of the receipts but some from the previous owner are missing.
Had the Map checked by CPP in Sandbach but don't have any dyno printouts, they confirmed the Map is excellent.
Anyone who has driven an Evo will surely appreciate this car not driven another car like it.
Geo was previously done by Suspension secrets but I have changed suspension, brakes and subframe etc around since then but still have that unbelievable cornering and weight balance as before.
Current MOT till 27th March 2023
I have included a few before and afters of parts that have been restored. 90% of the front bolts have been swapped out for new. I also primed some of the underside and inner arches for now until I could get around to restoring the underside, all areas that have been done were taken back to bare metal first which I do have some pictures of.
Any questions please contact me.
Open to reasonable offers.
All inspections are welcome.
Test drives are possible just bring proof of insurance, don't just tip up and expect me to let you have a go.
