This dark metallic grey 2005 MR Edition EVO is a one owner, non-smoker, car with 59K on the clock. It comes complete with Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel, Brembo brakes, BBS wheels and an aftermarket Kenwood radio with Sirius satellite radio adapter box. It has also had numerous improved parts fitted as follows: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Clutchmaster Twin Disc Clutch 9” Flywheel ETS 50 Trim Ball-Bearing Turbo Kit http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/ Stainless Steel Header Forge BOV Intercooler Kit - 24x11.5x3.5" Bar & Plate Core, 1127cfm-750hp at 80% efficiency Mini Battery Kit Air Intake GSC S2 Camshafts 880 cc Injectors Upgraded Camshaft Springs and Retainers Kevlar Timing Belt ARP Headstuds Air Intake and Filter Walbro 255 Fuel Pump Burshur Racing 3” TBE with Hi-Flow Cat. and Magnaflow AEM Engine Management System -5 Bar Map Sensor -Wideband O2 -Exhaust Gas Temperature -Twin Gauge Pod AEM Serial Gauge (19 functions) and should be good for almost 400 HP now. It was tuned by 'The House of Boost' in Lenexa, Kansas. The body and interior are largely in good shape, there is a scuff on corner of the rear bumper (see photo) and a couple of minor door dings and light scratches, most could be fixed with a little elbow grease. The radio needs to have the speakers wired, it does work but the external amp that was connected to it was needed for another project. The engine does have issues. When the oil gets hot the oil pressure drops to almost zero. It has had new lower end bearings fitted but it did not solve the problem. Probably needs a crank regrind and a new oil pump. It does run fine when the oil is cold so it can be driven very short distances. I don't have the time to fix it so my loss is your gain. MR EDITION: A HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRADITION The tradition of the high-performance Mitsubishi Racing moniker dates back to 1970, with the Mitsubishi Galant GTO MR, Mitsubishi's first production car powered by a DOHC engine that boasted 125 horsepower. So while times - and engine outputs - have changed, Mitsubishi's commitment to performance has not. The Lancer Evolution MR Edition strikes the delicate balance between grace and power. Building on the Lancer Evolution's rally-proven reputation, the MR Edition pushes the performance envelope even further with improvements to the crucial elements that make driving a true pleasure. Engine output was increased, but more power was not the top priority. Although the recent meteoric rise of horsepower figures seems to be the top selling point for many new vehicles, Mitsubishi focused its development efforts on the intricate coordination between engine output and handling performance. FOCUSED ON PERFORMANCE The Evolution MR Edition features several handling- and ride-enhancing features: a lightweight aluminum roof panel (a first for a Japanese production model), designed to lower the center of gravity and reduce the roll moment; jointly developed Bilstein(R) monotube shock absorbers to improve road holding; and new lightweight forged alloy wheels courtesy of BBS(R). On all Lancer Evolutions, the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder DOHC intercooled-turbocharged engine is tuned to deliver maximum power over the mid- to high-rev band, generating 286 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm. Horsepower also has increased - from 271 to 276 hp, available at 6500 rpm. As an exclusive for the MR Edition, a six-speed transmission makes the power more accessible. The Evolution's AWD system gains an Active Center Differential (ACD) and front limited-slip, which - combined with Sports ABS - creates a more natural, better-mannered driving feel. Man and machine have never been so intimately linked. EXTERIOR Compared to the five-speed Lancer Evolution, the new Lancer Evolution MR Edition is distinguished by the addition of an exclusive new color called Graphite Gray. Named after a carbon compound that implies lightweight and strength, Graphite Gray complements other dark color tones and reflects the Lancer Evolution's extensive use of carbon, aluminum and other high-tech materials. The color also accentuates the model's no-frill functional aesthetics. The outboard faces of the rear-deck spoiler plates use a dark gray finish close to the color of the carbon wing, replacing the body color-keyed treatment on the other colors. Also exclusive to the new MR Edition, strong fin-design BBS(R) forged aluminum alloy wheels each weigh 2.76 lbs (1.25 kg) less than the standard wheels. Less unsprung mass means that the Evolution MR Edition's four-wheel independent suspension is able to react more quickly to bumps and other road irregularities. The wheels sport a dark gray finish that complements the car's signature color scheme. At the trailing edge of the MR Edition's roof, a vortex generator creates small vortices that reduce drag and increase the down force generated by the rear-deck spoiler. The generator vanes are finished in the same dark gray as the outer panels of the spoiler. The MR Edition is available in four colors: Wicked White, Rally Red, Apex Silver, and Graphite Gray. The Lancer Evolution VIII is not available in gray, but adds Tarmac Black, Lightning Yellow, and one new color: Electric Blue. INTERIOR The Lancer Evolution's interior presents a clean environment that complements the purposeful, performance-honed exterior design. As a reminder of what's just overhead, the Evolution MR Edition adds an aluminum shift knob; an aluminum and carbon fiber brake lever handle; and aluminum pedals. The track-tuned Evolution RS also benefits from the newly available aluminum roof. The MR Edition's sport meter gauge kit is made up of a three-ring gauge cluster located in the center stack. The gauges display boost, voltage and oil pressure. Another unique feature for the MR Edition: a stainless steel plate embossed with the "Lancer Evolution MR" name badge. As with the trunk lid emblem, the "MR" designation is finished in red to stamp its presence more vividly on the interior. On all Lancer Evolutions, an ACD indicator is located on the combination meter, inside the tachometer display. The switch itself (Tarmac/Gravel/Snow) is located on the dash just to the left of the steering column. An optional 315-watt Infinity audio system includes a trunk-mounted subwoofer. (This option is not available on the MR Edition or the RS.) Larger cup holders are added to the console. THE EVOLUTION AND JENNY CRAIG For the new MR Edition, Mitsubishi extracted weight from the already lean Evolution without sacrificing strength or durability. In fact, in total 27.6 lbs (12.5 kg) of mass was taken out by replacing steel parts in favor of high-strength aluminum. A lightweight aluminum roof and lightweight, high-strength aluminum door impact bars lower the center of gravity and reduce roll moment. The aluminum impact bars (shared with all Evolutions) account for a reduction of 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) per car, and the MR Edition and RS's aluminum roof saves another 8.8 lbs (4.0 kg). Forged BBS(R) aluminum alloy wheels - each of which weighs 2.76 lbs (1.25 kg) less than the standard Enkei wheels -- mean less unsprung mass, which in turn fully optimizes the quick reflexes of the new specially tuned Bilstein(R) shocks. The front door side impact bars have been changed from steel to high-strength aluminum, reducing weight nearly 8 lbs (3.5 kg) while providing the same level of impact safety. The new door impact bars are used in the entire Lancer Evolution line, while the aluminum roof is offered only on the MR Edition and RS.
