Yep it does and heres some of the jibba jabba as well:wub::wub:drool drool drool:)
New advert..new price..must go. UK Evo 7. 22,500mls.FSH.New forged Engine, £9995!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car was sold brand new in the UK to the first owner. (Ihave original bill of sale). The first owner owned the car until 2007 and had it meticulously looked after by Ralliart/Extreme and CPP Motor Developments.

It was then sold to the 2nd owner in 2007 who owned the car until Feb 2010

He sold the car to me in Feb 2010. For peace of mind, the car went straight to MA Developments for a full oils change....gearbox/ayc/diffs etc all changed for Silkolene products (09/03/10 18000 miles).

I then had trips to numerous tuners with oil related problems on the engine. Eventually the engine was stripped by Lee at FQ performance and it was found that a rebuild was required. The car then went to Gaz at CPP for the rebuild.

So thats where we're up to now. The engine is rebuilt and and just finished being run in. The car has just been to Norris Designs for a 4,500 mile service and check over. The car pulls really well right through the rev range and and is very very quick. The only reason that the car has been to different tuners is that there is no tuners within 100 miles of me

Service History.

07/09/01 Car purchased new from UK Ralliart Dealer
15/09/01 engine oil changed (Ralliart) 1000 mile service
16/03/02 2416miles engine oil/ayc fluid (Ralliart) 4500 mile service
14/09/02 engine oil/ayc fluid (extreme) 9000 mile service
15/03/03 4915miles engine oil/ayc fluid/diff oil (extreme) 13500 mile service
13/09/03 5925 miles engine oil/ayc/coolant (extreme) 18000 mile service
06/03/04 6257 miles 22500 mile service (extreme)
02/10/04 6628 miles 27000 mile service (Extreme)

from 2005 the next 5 stamps are from CPP motor developments. I don't have invoices for these though. but all stamps in book and CPP will be able to confirm. For a car with apprx 22000miles you can see its pretty comprehensive.

Then of course as mentioned

09/03/10 17655 miles gearbox/ayc/diffs all changed for Silkolene (MADevelopments) Forgot to get a stamp with this one but have the invoice and they said they would stamp the book no problem if you take it to them,

and finally the 4,500 mile service just carried out.

All the previous MOT's are available to view.

The car, aside from the previous engine problems, the car has been faultless. No knocks or bangs from the suspension.

The gear change is crisp and precise.

The car really does look good, it turns heads everywhere. I know the new owner would be very happy with it.

Car has never been on Track,

The interior on the car is in very very good condition and looks almost new, in keeping with the cars low mileage.


As you can see from the photographs, the car is in very very good condition and is regularly cleaned and waxed. It is parked in my garage and is not used for commuting/shopping etc. It is a second car. The car has had a little paint on the left rear quarter from a car park scuff. It is a very good job and people say they can't even notice it. It is only when polishing can i notice 1 small imperfection. Do not be worried, i am just being 100% honest.

The engine will be good for big power but at the moment is a very capable 400bhp. What better way to get a good reliable base for a turbo of your choice and big reliable power. Or leave as it is as it is a very very capable road car.

The very nice private plate is included in the sale...

Car has approx 11 months MOT remaining and 4 months tax


So what do you think Gavster stunning or what

Just seen this for sale. Does it seem ok?

Mitsubishi : ***mitsubishi evo 8 fq300 396bhp***

Cheers Gav

good spec and looks fairly clean but there is no way i or many other people would want to be driving it any further than straight to a proper tuner before the engine goes bang cos pj havent a clue about mapping evos and id want the boost turned down to about 1:70 bar boost before the turbo shits itself.
