1992 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution

How do all?

So my poor Rover daily was dying fast and I have a little one on the way. Naturally when looking for a new car it had to have enough seats and some more doors would be a good idea.

Saw this on ebay and thought: this meets all the criteria. Plus a bit of fun for me! ;D

So here it is my new ride the Evo 1









Its got a turbo timer and front + rear strut braces, other than that its largely standard I think.
Just youre run of the mill 2.0 turbo 4wd rally derived family wagon.
I want to replace the rear lights with some originals and maybe some different wheels, but buying the thing has stopped my cash flow for a while...

And running it will stop the cashflow for a while longer. ;D

[Mad Max]

Who needs money right?!

They are great cars. I will find one that's worth buying at some point.

[oldschoolcool]

Youll have a lot of fun in that car.

Here was mine.

Nice! Thats definitely fit for purpose! I think if I did it bit by bit swmbo might not notice it was morphing from family car to rally car...

[oldschoolcool]

Thing is, i kind of regret making it so focused as a track car. It was good when I could take it on track, but i didnt use it as muck as id have liked to.
I used it and enjoyed it more when it was still in road trim.

Put a walbro 255 pump,and a boost controller,just a cat back and 1.3 bar. Perfect relationship of cost/power on these.
Have you been on evo123.net ?

No, Ive only been on MLR so far, Ill check that out.
Ive not had chance to check over whats what with it yet, all I know is that the exhaust will fit my head in and theres a turbo timer. Trouble is coming home with the shopping this afternoon the clutch pedal went to the floor where it promtly stayed! Annoying, but possibly explains why third and fourth have been ever so slightly crunching a little with a quick change.

Hopefully just a bleed will get me moving so I can get it to work and on the ramp. Its great fun I tell you, all my tools at work 10 miles away, my bleeding kit at my unit about the same in the other direction... Cars eh!

Congrats on the new cars, looks like a great score. Always liked the early evos. Have fun with it!
