2003 Mitsubishi Evolution 8: No BS
Holy mother of God. Is this the toughest 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution 8 for sale in Australia right now?
Quite possibly.
Its certainly one of the wildest Japanese cars ever featured here on Car Rave.
Unlike the parts “shopping lists” of my youth- that would adorn everything from CA18de Silvia’s to your mates VS Commodore- this Evo is no bullsh*t. With a variable “who’s who” of performance parts lurking under the hood, it’s clear the builder of this weapon knew what they were doing.
If you are a sensible young lady or lad in the market for a reliable Japanese econo-box, look elsewhere. If you like to have your eyeballs detach from there retinas, maybe think about this thing.
You can find it on “Chris’ Better JDM Page” via Facebook, for $45k.
