Mitsubishi Evo 5 RS in the sun

[JON FOZ]

Taken a few weeks back in the sunshine.

I've used the filters on my phone as the car is filthy and desperately needs a polish.

[Knuckles]

Needs more pics. Without filters. It looks mega!

 

[JON FOZ]

[imprezaworks]

[mossyv6]

Wow indeed!!!!

 

[Lctr]

Amazing

 

[Stefan.]

Oh my

 

[Ian_182]

That's a very nice refurb.
Fair play.

Holy s**t ! Did you post the restoration on Detailing world ?

Something I'd love to do but would never have the time to do it !

I've never posted it on there.

Me neither,it's not my work.Bought it when it was just completed

 

[Darren S]

Epic work.

Was that restoration done over at Gaz’s place near Macclesfield? The buildings look familiar.

 

[General Dave]

My favourite generation of Evo :hearteyes: - Amazing mate

I really hope I find myself in the position to get a 5 one day.

No,the guy I bought it from carried out the work.

Gaz done all the belts and a fuel pump a few months back

Ah - good stuff.

Great colour that as well. Not a common choice for Evos of that vintage left on the roads.

There’s a silver V near me at home. Left under a tree and full of leaves, bird s**t and all other crap. Would love to save the thing and have the money to get it back on the road....

Stunning and a lot of work. Saw the pics on the MLR didn't click it was you

Partly the reason I bought it was the colour.

Apparently this is one of two red RS models in the U.K.

 

[Matt W]

Oh my days.

Such a shame that cars like this aren't made anymore

It sure is mate.

 

[Darren S]

It sure is mate.

Clearly part of the reason why values of decent ones are just going up and up.

I wonder why all that ‘edge’ and focus from the Jap manufacturers of the 90s and early 2000s simply died off?

Lack of appeal to a wider audience probably

That and they stand out a mile for scum bags. I’ve seen two classic Imprezas over the past two days. A type r in blue, nice.

I would have liked a type r before I bought mine, prices where high back then.

 

[imprezaworks]

It was the darker blue, standard. Looked nice.

 

[adamlstr]

I had always assumed RS' had to be white!

That looks amazing underneath though, it's never seeing rain again is it. 😂

I don't understand why people do that, idiots. [emoji849]

You say this as if it's a bad thing? Dirtier the better.

It did concern me a little when I had mine - especially when a meat-head asked me if the Evo was for sale at a petrol station when I'd not even had it 24 hours.

Touch wood - it never attracted any bellendness in the 2.5 years that I had it. I'd like to think that the scroats of today simply look at these Evos and Scoobies as has-beens and certainly nowhere near as desirable to steal as today's Golf R's and the like. Despite the Jap stuff being just as much, if not even superior in capability?

That might change with the increasing values though. I can't see them staying clear for long if there's good money in taking one and sending it off in a container to some other country.

 

[imprezaworks]

Of the rarer models collectors will hoard them away and show them to the grand kids.

When I had mine probably about 7 years ago I never had an issue with dick heads.

Atleast I will have owned.

 

[Gally]

An amazing machine mate, just going up in value all the time now.

Most of the people that end up asking me questions don't even know what it is, they're just intrigued. There's enough cars on the road these days that aesthetically stand out from the crowd. You need to drive it for it to really stand out all that much. Plus, they sound pretty s**t. The 4G is one of the greatest engines ever made, but unless you look over your shoulder, it just sounds like another boosted 4 pot Golf is on it's way.

Got to agree. Mine fired up first time every time - settled to a nice, steady idle in no time and despite my regular checks - never used a drop of oil.

Cracking units.

 

[adamlstr]

Sounds f**k all like a Golf R to me...


😂

There aren't many cars nudging 20 years old that could still serve most modern machinery's arses on a plate. I love that about mine.
