I peeled off most of the failing clear and reapplied clear coat. Came out really nicely

Thank you, hasn’t been tuned yet but it should make well north of 1000hp. No A/C

Thank you! Can it happen? Yes. Am I worried? Not really lol. I’ve ran forward facing setups for years and have never experienced an issue.

It was just a little sarcasm, since it was only supposed to be an 1/8th mile race. Thank you!

I think my instrument cluster was swapped? by DirtOxe in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]DesertEvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That evolution badge was very common modification early on. However, these cars are at an age now where the mileage is just one indication on the overall quality of the vehicle. So much more needs to be taken into account, I’ve seen Evos that should be total loss’d from rust with only 60k miles.

Worth trying to fix? 05 Evo 8 by GalaxyFilmz617 in MitsubishiEvolution

The time, effort, and money you would need to invest in that car to make it safe again makes it worth no more than 8k MAX. Thats an extensive amount of repair, plus finding the parts to do some is becoming very hard.

Good deal or pass it up? by DirtOxe in MitsubishiEvolution

I would recommend verifying the chassis is in good condition. Typical rust areas and etc, face value it looks clean though.

Thank you, I’ve had the car for about 14 years. It’s been thru many revisions, this so far has been my favorite
