Good afternoon SAU,

After purchasing my dream car, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition, I have decided to part ways with my beloved R33 GTS-T Series 1.

History of the Car

The car was personally imported by my uncles friend who is 50+. It was complied in February 2007 and was used as his weekend car. I purchased the car off him on the 6th of August 2013 with approximately 73,000km on the odometer. The car was bone stock, and since then I have made it much more appealing to the eye :)

FYI

Since owning the car, it has been my daily. The car has been extremely reliable, solid and hassle free. It has always been serviced every 5,000km and filled up with Shell V Power. I travel approximately 50km a day and get around 10.5L/100km. Mind you, this isn't even highway driving as I cruise at 60-70km/h.

The current odometer has just ticked over 88,000km. The car has rego until 09 March 2015.

The amendments that I have made to the car since taking ownership include the following -

  • Installed 4x JVC CS-ZX 640 Speakers at Kim's Car Radios (Still under warranty)
  • Installed a Sony XAV701BT Head Unit at Kim's Car Radios (Total of $1000 inclusive of the speakers above.Still under warranty)
  • Installed and colour matched a R33 Duck Wing from Viva Garage ($200 just for the wing. I still have leftover KH2 paint)
  • Installed and colour matched a R33 Rear Window Spoiler from Viva Garage ($180 just for the spoiler)
  • Installed NGK Iridium Spark Plugs on 23/08/2013 ($100 for the spark plugs)
  • Installed a Super Charge Gold Battery on 13/01/2014 ($125. Still has more than 2 years warranty)
  • Installed Splitfire Coil Packs. (Purchased of SAU Admin Blitz for $320)
  • Purchased R32 GTR Wheels wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. Fixed some minor gutter rash and resprayed it Gunmetal Grey ($600 just for the wheels. I still have leftover paint)
  • Had a wheel alignment done at Bridgestone Select Narellan once I put the R32 GTR wheels on ($65)
  • Installed 4.5" HKs Hi Power Cat Back Exhaust. Sounds awesome and does not drone.
  • Painted all 4 brake calipers with high heat red paint.

The Good Points

  • All electricals are working. This includes power windows, side mirrors, front and rear wipers and sprays.
  • Car comes with an Apexi Turbo Timer
  • Car comes with a Mongoose M80 Series Alarm and Immoboliser. I have 2 Spare Remotes
  • The car is straight and most importantly, drives straight!
  • No bubbles on the dash. It is in perfect condition.

The Not So Good Points

  • The drivers side bolster has a little tear smaller than the size of a 5c coin (see the photo below)
  • The steering wheel has started to fade a little at the top (see the photo below)
  • The car has a few minor scratches here and there, which is standard for its age.
  • The front bumper has a scratch under the front lip. It is only visible if you get under the vehicle.

I have priced the car to sell at 9,000 ONO. The car is only for sale on SAU at this stage. I am planning to leave it for a week and if it doesn't sell I will advertise it on Carsales.

The car is located in Edensor Park NSW 2176.

Please do not low ball or waste my time. Test drives available for those who I deem as serious buyers.

As I work Monday-Friday the car can only be viewed on weekends.

Feel free to contact me on 0401 869 455. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions as I may have missed several items.

Regards,

Lewis

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
