For sale is my 2003 Evolution VIII. I’m the second owner of this car; I purchased it from an older gentleman in Rhode Island back in 2010. It was pretty much stock when I bought it, besides a Buschur Racing exhaust and a reflash. It’s been garaged in the winter ever since I’ve owned it and minimal miles have been put on it each year since it’s been in my possession – I work from home so, this is pretty much my weekend pleasure car.
Last summer my buddy who owns a local shop convinced me to go all out, build the motor and add a bunch more power…needless to say, it didn’t take much convincing, so I gave him the go ahead to tear it down. I didn’t have him build it because there was a problem with the motor – it was running 100% before the overhaul. Joey, my mechanic was actually amazed in how good of condition the motor was it when he took it apart. The pistons, rings, bearings and cylinders were all it top shape (I have the original pistons that will go with the sale so you can see for yourself). What I’m getting at, is that this car was properly cared for and maintained through the years.
After the build, which was completed in June 2012 I had a local dyno shop break-in the new motor with a pre-set 5 stage break-in process on his hub dyno. Once the motor was properly broken in, I took it down to Ivey Tune in New Jersey and had Sean Ivey do a proper tune on it. It’s somewhat conservative with more power left on the table if someone chooses to squeeze more out of it.
I tracked the car once at a NHMS road coarse event last summer and the car performed flawlessly – no issues what-so-ever and it was a blast to drive, almost scary fast. Everything runs 100% now and needs nothing. Oil and filter changes every 2000 miles or less with Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic 5w 40. The only small gripes I have with the car would be the rattling throw-out bearing you can sometimes hear on decal (which is normal) and a few minor cosmetic blemishes such is very small paint nicks on the hood and front bumper, only noticeable up close and couple of the Brembo’s are faded a bit . This is a race car, not a luxury vehicle so if you want luxury, I suggest you look elsewhere.
My reason for selling is due to unexpected family issues. If could keep it I would and I’ll hate to see it go after all the time and money I just put into it. Below is the list of Mods. I have ton of money in parts, labor, and tuning invested. All parts are brand new and were installed at 77,854 miles. There’s currently less than 83,000 miles on the odometer. Most everything was purchased through MAPerformance – a vendor on this site.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport recalled over brake lamps
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Mitsubishi is recalling certain 2013 Outlander Sport models for a couple of brake-related reasons. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the brake lamps may illuminate continuously or intermittently. On top of that, the NHTSA report states that the vehicle's shift lever could be moved out of the Park position without depressing the brake pedal.
A total of 4,539 Outlander Sport models are being recalled for these issues. All of the affected vehicles were built between June 11 and September 11, 2012.
Obviously, both of these issues can be hazardous. If the brake lamps do not illuminate properly, other vehicles may not realize that the car is stopping. And if the shift lever can be moved from Park without touching the brake pedal, the vehicle could roll away unexpectedly.
Mitsubishi confirms pair of MiEV Evolution II electric racecars for Pikes Peak
Fri, 17 May 2013Preparing for next month's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Mitsubishi - the presenting sponsor of this year's PPIHC - has unveiled its entrant for the race: the all-electric MiEV Evolution II. Building off last year's MiEV-inspired entrant, the Evolution II has received numerous improvements, including a more powerful electric drive system, a lower center of gravity and even a more traditional racecar look. Driving a pair of MiEV Evolution II models this year will be Hiroshi Masuoka from Mitsubishi vehicle development and six-time PPIHC motorcycle winner, Greg Tracy.
Both MiEV Evolution II racers employ a quartet of electric motors (last year's car used just three), and output has been increased from 280 kilowatts (375 horsepower) up to 400 KW (536 hp). For improved handling, the cars' lithium-ion battery packs help provide lower centers of gravity, and both Masuoka's and Tracy's cars have received active yaw control, stability control and redesigned anti-lock braking systems. Hopefully, this will help them stick to the mountain better. As previously mentioned, even their look has changed, with less of a wide-body i-MiEV feel and more of a racecar appearance. We think the finished product would actually make for a pretty cool Le Mans Prototype racer, or perhaps an electrically powered rival for trackday cars like those from Radical.
2014 Mitsubishi Mirage
Tue, 07 Jan 2014This could have been something great. Last fall, Mitsubishi slapped its triple-diamond badge on a dainty little hatchback called Mirage, offering plenty of functionality and 44 miles per gallon on the highway, all starting at a super-low $12,995. For budget shoppers, this seemed to be a good thing - not to mention a much-needed breath of fresh air for the company's waning US automotive arm.
I will fully admit to being a bit harsh on the Mirage following its debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show, often making it the butt of jokes with my colleagues. But at the end of the day, I love cheap, basic, honest little cars like this, and I wasn't prepared to write off the Mirage until I spent some time behind the wheel. After all, on paper, a Mazda2 looks pretty unremarkable, and yet it's one of my favorite small cars to drive.
Much as I wasn't looking forward to putting my foot in my mouth, I was sort of hoping to feel the same way about the new Mirage. It's a bland package, but it could have been filled with the same spunky spirit and well-meaning composure of vehicles like the aforementioned Mazda, or even stuff like the Honda Fit or Chevy Spark and Sonic.
