The Evolution IX utilized aluminum for the front fenders and hood, while the MR trim added an aluminum roof panel, which reduced weight by nearly nine pounds. This example is finished in Graphite Gray and has been fitted with a Japanese-market rear bumper cover. The car is equipped with the optional Zero Lift Kit, which added a rear spoiler extension, a front air dam, and front brake air guides. Additional exterior details include integrated fog lamps, vortex generators on the roof, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler deck. The headlights and tail lamps have been modified with custom LED lighting and body-color housings, and aftermarket front and rear crash beams have been installed.
Silver 17″ WedsSport TC105N alloy wheels are mounted with 235/45 Dunlop Direzza ZII+ tires that show 2017 date codes. Stopping power is provided by red-finished Brembo calipers with Hawk Performance ceramic pads over vented rotors at all four corners. The suspension has been modified with Megan Racing coilovers, adjustable camber plates, a rear strut brace, and subframe braces.
The cabin features Recaro front seats and a rear bench upholstered in black leather with microsuede inserts and red stitching. The MR package included carbon-fiber dashboard trim, an aluminum and carbon-fiber emergency brake handle, and an aluminum shift knob. Additional amenities include LED puddle lights, air conditioning, and power windows, mirrors, and door locks. The battery has been relocated to the trunk.
The leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, a 170-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. A trio of Auto Meter gauges is mounted to the A-pillar and includes a digital shift light as well as readouts for boost and oil pressures. The stereo has been removed and replaced with gauges for oil temperature, voltage, air-fuel ratio, fuel/ethanol content, and fuel pressure. The digital odometer indicates 22k miles.
The 2.0-liter inline-four is said to have been stroked to 2.3-liters and modified by Buschur Racing. It is reportedly equipped with a Forced Performance HTA 3076R ball-bearing turbocharger and a 10:1 compression ratio as well as a ported Buschur Stage-3 cylinder head, intake manifold, and balance shaft eliminator kit. The ECU has been tuned and can toggle between settings for e85 and 93 octane fuel via a switch mounted in the glove compartment. Additional modifications are said to include the following components:
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, an active center differential, and limited-slip front and rear differentials. The transmission and transfer case are said to have been modified by Shep Racing with upgraded gears. An M-factory 4.0 final drive, Wavetrac limited-slip front differential, AMS braided clutch hydraulic line, and an Exedy Hyper twin-disc clutch and flywheel have also been installed.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history with one owner in Illinois. Open manufacturer’s safety recalls associated with reprogramming the PCM, front cross-member corrosion, and the passenger-side airbag inflator are noted between 2013 and 2017.
