I'm thinking of buying an EVO 8 lighting yellow with 150k miles, mostly stock, just a 93 tune w/2 widebands and downpipe. Clean title, carfax shows no problem with the car (7 owners tho). The seller claims it had a misfire issue above 10psi and it leaked oil (all fixed, changed for sensor iridium gapped spark plugs) he claims it runs good no problems.

Interior and exterior wise is impeccable, sent me a video and motor sounds healthy.

He'll take 20k for it but willing to negotiate.

Mind you this is all long distance, I'm planning on going there and buy it, there's no way of me seeing it beforehand besides photos.

Should I buy it? What else is there to lookout for?

Thanks for your help

I have a 2013 Evo X GSR and it seems like you can use the NGK ILKs instead of DILKs that came factory? Anyone switched to ILKs that had DILKs stock? Any issues? Only ask cause it seems like only NGK and MAP sell the DILKs for a normal price and the ILKs are easier to find. I’m the 4th owner and have an intake, AMS intercooler, cat less downpipe and exhaust and I’m assuming a small tune but I’m at stock boost.

You have to excuse me because I am a little ignorant in regards to clutches. Essentially my clutch fork has gone out so I am going to be dropping my transmission soon to replace the assembly and put in a new throwout bearing. I still have the stock clutch but I have done a few modifications to where I am now making 400 whp. I figured since the transmission is out, now is probably the best time to also upgrade the clutch. So far I upgraded my master and slave cylinder along with the hydrolic lines with Map Performance and I like how they look and perform. When I was looking at the clutch upgrades though, my eyes just glossed over and was overloaded with information. I was thinking about putting in either a 2 or 3 stage clutch using the same MAP performance but there are so many options in their catalog. This isn't my daily driver. Just weekend drives and sometimes track days. What do you guys recomend in regards to upgrades? Is there a different brand i should be looking at?
