1999 Mutsubishi Evolution VI

4WD 2.0L Turbo.

55,000 kms, auction grade 4.5, one owner in Japan, one owner in Australia.

This car was imported unmodified, and included a complete factory-fitted Ralliart sports pack (coilovers, ECU, lightweight wheels, chassis bracing, coilpacks/leads + more).

Since then the car has had some minor internal engine modifications (HKS cams & cam gears, Crower titanium valve springs & retainers, new seals & bearings), but is otherwise standard internally.

The Ralliart sports pack includes a small boost pressure increase (from approx 1.2 to 1.4 bar). This is the boost level that the car has been modified & tuned to, but is by no means the limit of what the engine is capable of.

Other modifications include Tomei 3 inch dump pipe, Apexi Power FC ECU with hand controller, Defi gauge cluster + controller, battery relocation, intake & intercooler modifications, and a TXS exhaust. All original parts are also included.

The recommended safe limit for knock levels when tuning these engines with the Apexi Power FC is 60. This car will never see a knock level above 10, and I will happily demonstrate this to any buyers. It is a safe, reliable tune on a well modified car that will pin you in your seat when you press the loud pedal. Approx 3 hours was spent installing and setting the initial tune on this ECU, and then a further 6 hours was spent on the dyno perfecting the tune.

The car has been regularly serviced every 3000 kms, and comes with all receipts & service records as proof. Even with the agressive cams the car idles steady as a heartbeat, and doesn't blow a single hint of smoke even when pushed.

It irritates me no end to see car after car being advertised as "immaculate", so I'm not going to use that word to describe this car - even though in this case it truely deserves it. But what I will say is that the exterior is absolutely perfect. There is not one single pin dent, faded area, scratch or even a stone chip on this car. The colour & shine on this factory blue paintjob has to be seen to be believed - the photos don't do it justice. You will not find another Evo 6 that's even close to as unmarked as this one is. As with the exterior, the interior of this car is also faultless.

I have reached the stage of my life where I need to grow up and start investing my money properly, and this sadly means selling my car to make way for a house. For this reason I'm not really interested in any trades, seeing as I'd then need to sell the traded vehicle as well.

This car has only had one mature driver for it's entire life in Australia, and has never been taken to any racetrack, drag strip or even a driving event. The sole purpose of this car was to put a smile on my face - something it never once failed to do.

The asking price is $24,000.

If you can find a single fault with the car I will happily reduce that price, but I can tell you now you won't be able to find one.

I don't log onto car forums very often, so all enquiries should be directed to my mobile: 0421 270 972

Cheers,

Sadly the buyers finance was rejected, so the car is back on the market.

And as a testimont to how good this car is, that was the first and only person so far that has come to look at it, and they put a deposit on it. I really mean it when I say that this car is better than any others of this model that you'll ever see.

Thanks for the kind words.

Another deposit has been taken, this time from the second person to look into the car. So far that's 2 out of 2 people - pretty good result!

Hopefully the finances check out for this second buyer. I'll confirm again this Thursday when the car is (hopefully) sold.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
