I have bought a few months ago an Evo 9.
I was told it's an RS because it has a mechanical differential ... and because it has a short 5-gear gearbox, and it was made only for the US people.
But when I looked on wikipedia, they are saying that RS models must have aluminum roof - mine doesn't. So I don't think it's an RS anymore.
I bought it from a lady, it's an USA model, imported by a polish guy from the US, and then bought by this lady from Poland.
I knew the car since it entered Romania, so I had the courage to buy it.
I drove the car for a few weeks, floor it hard, it didn't fail in any way, so I felt confident about my purchase.
The car has around 330 HP - i have been told.
Modifications - bigger down pipe
- carbon/kevlar protection under the engine
-fuel line + brake line protection
-fuel tank protection...
-ac has been removed
-steering wheel replaced with a sport one
-abs has been disabled from the ECU
and that's about it.
The only down size of the car ... is ... the rust. The car has rust everywhere, it's not hard rust, it's only superficial rust and it made me crazy.
So I decided to make a full refurbish of the car.
So the plan is like this:
1) change every fluid of the car PENDING... FLUIDS BOUGHT...FLUIDS RECEIVED...
2) change timing belt kit PENDING... PARTS ORDERED...
3) change brake discs + pads if necessary PENDING...
4) remove all the rust PENDING... POR 15 PAINT BOUGHT...POR 15 PAINT RECEIVED...
5) repaint car PENDING...
6) repaint brake calipers + wheels PENDING...
7) new tires PENDING...
8) original steering wheel with airbag PENDING...STEERING WHEEL ORDERED...STEERING WHEEL RECEIVED...
9) get a new AC system PENDING...PARTS ORDERED...PARTS RECEIVED...
10) make the ABS work again PENDING... PARTS ORDERED...PARTS RECEIVED...
