If you read the whole thing, Mitsu donated 5 cars, all Evo VII's and the other four were destroyed in the stunts. This particular car was used in the scenes to just "look good"

It would be a great car to de-rice. AYC, ACD, and bone fuggin stock. I'd love to do it if I could afford it. First thing is paint, and rip off the wing. Maybe even do the grill thing but then serve food on that wing.

I have seen this car before at the South Coast Mitsu. a few years ago when they had a release party for the 10. thing is hammered. Paint is fading, exh. is just a tip welded on. Body is cut and hammered to fit those nasty tail lights. Int. adn seats are still in very good shape.
Agree with what someone posted. buy, strip, and put all good stuff in clean 8 shell.

+1 when the movie came out i loved everything about the car and the evo.

Grew out of the whole rice looking scene but never grew out of loving the evo.
