Nice one 
Great cars! I'd be tempted if I came into a bit of cash
I followed one the other day in my UK300 PPP, and he ate me for breakfast and spat me out. He then came back, ate me again and this time kicked me in the gutter. I can drive a bit too! He was'nt so hot behind the wheel but that car ruined me!
Serious piece of kit
Enjoy!
How much was it mate?

Top car, I recognise it from auto trader the other week, great colour along with Parma Red. One gave me a little race recently and it sounded great, he even waved which is more than new age scoob drivers do!

Evolution VIII MR derives it's Mitsubishi Racing (MR) designation from that first used on the Colt Galant GTO, the first Mitsubishi production car powered by a DOHC engine, and traditionally reserved for the Lancer, GTO and other Mitsubishi high-performance sports models.
Evolution VIII MR is the first production model in Japan to use a lightweight aluminum roof panel. Other distinguishing features include exclusive Bilstein shock absorbers developed jointly with Bilstein, and BBS lightweight forged alloy wheels. The turbocharged engine is tuned to deliver maximum power over the mid-to high-rev band and generates 2.0-liter class-topping torque of 294lbs/ft at 3500 rpm.
Detail improvements to the ACD + Super AYC + Sports ABS electronic all-wheel drive control system realize a more natural and better-mannered driving feel.
Evolution VIII MR sees no changes in body design over its predecessor but is distinguished by new coloring and exclusive styling trim.
The turbocharger uses a larger turbine nozzle with matching cam profile to deliver higher output at mid- to high engine speeds. The turbocharger waste gate now uses two solenoids. This optimizes boost pressure control to give more stable torque in the low to mid-range. Durability is improved through shape optimization and reinforcement of the cooling water channels, uprating from a 3-ply to 5-ply head gasket and the use of magnetic ion-coated piston rings. Engine response is improved with the use of lighter silent shafts. Cooling performance is improved with the use of a larger oil cooler that features two extra rows.
Shock absorbers jointly developed with Bilstein exclusively for Evolution VIII MR offer superior response characteristics and realize better road holding. with the use of different damping rates for the single-tube front and rear shocks .
Hope this answers your question mate.
