How much would an Evo cost if you had to buy each part separately?

its alot because of the mark up on the parts. Its more like how much would it be to build the car from mitsu parts if u could get them all at cost instead of markup
Also you have to factor not all parts are made by mitsu, like the brakes and what not. I know the whole assembly on the pressure plates that the TOB attaches to is not made by mitsu, theres one company in japan that has a patent on that design and they make it for all the evos and subaru pull type clutches, dont believe me call act or mitsu and ask if u can order it cuz you cant
