1997 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR

This 1997 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR was imported to the US before the seller’s acquisition in 2022, and it was subsequently modified. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four altered with an HKS air intake and an aftermarket ECU and exhaust system, and shifting is through a five-speed manual transaxle. The all-wheel-drive system utilizes limited-slip front and rear differentials and Active Yaw Control, and the car rides on 17″ Enkei wheels and BC Racing coilovers. The car is finished in Steel Silver Metallic over black Ecsaine and red cloth, and additional equipment includes a carbon-fiber hood, a rear wing, Brembo brake calipers, Recaro front seats, a JVC CD stereo, and a MOMO steering wheel. This Evo IV has 106k kilometers (~66k miles) and is offered in California with spare parts and a Washington state title.

The turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter 4G63 inline-four sends power to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle and an all-wheel-drive system with limited-slip front and rear differentials and Active Yaw Control (AYC). The seller reports that a Mine’s ECU with a 91-octane tune has been installed along with a Fujitsubo turboback exhaust system without a catalytic converter, and an HKS air intake has also been added. The seller notes the timing belt was replaced at approximately 100k kilometers (~62k miles) and the wastegate was replaced in January 2025. Service in June 2023 is said to have included replacing the valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and starter. The alternator needs to be replaced, and various air conditioning components have been removed.
