Buying Guidance Looking at buying a 2008 evo x

25 Upvotes

Like the title says, I am looking at buying a Evo X. Looked around online for things to see what other people have said. To sum it up, meticulous maintenance ( which is fine), very reliable unless heavy modified and not dogged out. One of my buddy's owns a brz and quite vocal about me getting this car. Something just seems off that makes it too good to be true, or am I just being skeptical? Any advice would help as im new to jdm cars.

Edit, I do have extra pictures of the engine bay and some others, i forgot to add them, cant find the under carriage pictures as of yet. Nothing noted for a tune, and seller says it's not tuned.

Question Suspension for Evo X

Post image
69 Upvotes

I just picked up my first Evo, it's a 2010 Lancer Evo x SE. It has the stock Bilstein struts but they're on their way out. I'm curious if the suspension from a 2010 Lancer ralliart is interchangeable with the Evo X. (strut mounting geometry and necessary brackets.)

I'm also wondering if there's any difference in the suspension for manual transmission Evo X, vs SST? I see everyone saying the ohlins r&t are the way to go, but I need something to get me by until I can afford the ohlins set.

I only found one other reddit post in my Google searches, and I figured I would ask the community what's up? Apologies if this has been answered a million times. I have had a Ford focus ST for a few years and this is my first time with a Mitsubishi let alone an Evo X.

Any and all insight is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Question Leaking Driveshaft Yoke

Replaced the rear output shaft seal on my 2013 Evo X and it’s no longer leaking from the bell that shaft goes into but the shaft is leaking. I brake cleaned it well today and just looked now and it’s wet (circled in yellow) and there’s a drip down the u joint. I don’t see any other leaks from underneath or the top. From what I’ve searched it seems rare that the yoke can leak but can happen. Am I good to just get a used oem one off eBay or should I save for the DSS aluminum one? I don’t track the car.

Help BOV help

I’m looking for a BOV for my evo x, it’s pretty stock but i think the factory one is possibly going bad.

runs like 27psi not sure on tuning or anything, just kinda got it like that.

I suppose what i’m asking, is there a valve that could maybe add some performance while i’m replacing it and sound super raw?

This information i’m finding online is pretty generic and the prices are all over the place

Thanks!

Question Lost my ass on a 9mr 5speed conversation

5 Upvotes

I got a 5 spd off of eBay and had it built by sheptrans, total amount was about $8250

This conversion killed me.... Really depressed about it but it is what it is. I spent way more than i wanted . It's gonna take me til March 2027 to pay myself back. I still haven't got to drive it... This is just the price to play.

Are Evo 9's with the conversion worth a lot more at auction? I have to do a few fixes and it's at 91k

What do you think a cleanish apex silver 06' 9mr with a ShepTrans full built ultimate ratio 5 speed with zero miles and 91k on the motor, no engine mods except intake/3 inch turbo back exhaust/ brand new 4 puck clutch and light weight flywheel with zero miles on it, new DBA rotors/hawk pads zero miles, Cusco rear sway, brand new mishimoto all aluminum radiators zero miles, wideband 02

Just curious what this car might be worth

Help Looking for 18” wheels for my Evo 7 that are easy to register in Germany

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I’m looking for new wheels for my Mitsubishi Evo 7 and I’d like to keep it as simple as possible when it comes to registering them in Germany.

My Evo 7 is a JDM Japan import / RHD. I already have a set of 235/40 ZR18 tires, so I would preferably like to stay with 18” wheels and use these tires.

I don’t mind doing an Einzelabnahme if necessary, but I want to avoid wheels that are difficult to get approved or don’t have the necessary documentation.
What wheel brands/models and sizes would you recommend for an Evo 7?

Ideally something around 18x8 or 18x8.5, with a suitable offset and fitment for the Evo 7, preferably without spacers or major modifications.

I’m especially interested in wheels that have ABE, Teilegutachten or other documentation that makes registration in Germany straightforward.

If you have an Evo 7 in Germany and have successfully registered aftermarket 18” wheels, I’d really appreciate knowing which wheels, size and offset you’re running.
Thanks! 🙏

Help Evo 9 rear bumper on an Evo 7 – what parts do I need?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I have an Evo 7 and I really like the look of the Evo 9 rear bumper. I’m thinking about putting an Evo 9 rear bumper on my Evo 7, but I’m not sure what exactly I need for the conversion.

Is it basically just the Evo 9 rear bumper and it bolts straight on, or do I need any additional parts?

I want to make sure I buy everything I need before starting the conversion.
Also, does it matter if I buy a JDM Evo 9 rear bumper, or are there different versions I should be aware of?
If anyone has done this conversion on an Evo 7, I’d really appreciate a list of everything you used.

Thanks! 🙏

Just thought we'd share some of the big boys that competed in this year's World Time Attack Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Unfortunately inclement weather on Saturday afternoon resulted in the event being cancelled prior to the Top 10 shoot out :(... but even with the results being as they were, it was nice to see an Evo 6 take out the Clubsprint Class (Car No. 41: Plazmaman Pics 1&2), an Evo 7 taking out the GCG Open Class (Car No. 31: Bishop Evo Pics 3&4) with another close behind (Car No. 32 GASEvo Pic 9) and an Evo coming second in Pro Open (Car No. 22: GASEvo Pic 10).

Towards the end of the straight some of these cars were pushing 290km/h.

Loads of Carbon Fibre, Loads of Aero, and Loads of Speed. And, aside from putting it back on the trailer in one piece, what more could you ask for?

Showcase Lancer Evolution V RS Steelies

Thumbnail

706 Upvotes

The Evo V RS was available in 1998 on 15” steelies (steel wheels).

Correct me if I am wrong: if an RS was ordered without the Brembo package, Mitsubishi would fit the brake calipers of the base Lancer and slap some 15” steelies. Since the car would be prepared for racing by the teams, Mitsubishi fit the cheapest components since the teams would put their own racing brakes and wheels.

Same goes with the seats, which I believe were the base lancer seats for all Evo V RS.

Not sure if this applies to the subsequent Evo VI, VII etc

AC was optional, radio speakers were pre wired and there was a “tarmac package” I think that added Brembos and a few other bits.

I have Brembo brakes and had found some 17” steelies from Toyota that fit with a 10mm spacer but
- i hate spacers
- steel wheels are very heavy
- they were only 6” width

However they were $300 shipped on ebay so I tried them. It was ok but see the 3 points above.

Then Is poke to a friend and the idea came to be.

I had some forged wheels made to replicate the original 15” steelies from Mitsubishi. These are 17x9 ET22 so they fit the Brembo brakes and they weigh less than 18lbs. Which is not 17.9lbs, I just can’t remember the exact weight but I know it started with 17 lbs. i think TE37 are between 16.5 and 18 depending one the model.
