NEED SOME PARTS FOR YOUR EVO? https://threepiece.us/


So, you want an EVO, but the 10 is just a bit… meh. How about the rawest
of them all? Meet the EVO 1-3.
When you think of the Mitsubishi Evolution, what's the first thing that comes
to mind? In the US, we think of what we grew up seeing, the EVO 8 and 9.
Some might think of Tomi Makinen dominating WRC in the 4-6. But today
we’re talking about what gets called the ‘ugly duckling’ generation - the
EVO 1, 2, and 3.
If you’re looking for the best performance, these aren’t the cars for you. You
should be looking at later generations. Their successors are faster, wider,
stiffer, and have all-around better technology. But, if you happen to like how
they look, and don’t mind that these aren’t the fastest, they will definitely
give you a raw, nostalgic driving experience that only pre-2000’s cars can.


What makes the EVO 1, 2 & 3 so
legendary?
First, simply equipment they have, or lack thereof.
These cars come with the legendary 4G63 engine. Although not as refined
as the later versions, these are still super stout motors that have been
shown to produce some insane figures. This generation makes somewhere
in the mid 200 HP straight out of the box, and if you wanna push it further,
the stock internals can easily handle 400HP - not bad, especially for the
90’s The 4G engine architecture has been around for almost 40 years now. The
aftermarket support is immense. With a modern ball-bearing turbo and the
appropriate supporting mods, you can build a very capable canyon carver.
This engine was combined with a super-light, nimble chassis, equipped
with AWD, the result was a match made in heaven. Mitsubishi had already
developed a capable all-wheel-drive system for the Galant VR-4. They
simply transplanted to a smaller chassis. This is a simple, robust setup
made to handle some extreme abuse. Rally heritage
When you think of the EVO platform, you probably picture the World Rally
Championship. While it’s true that the EVO did dominate in the late 90’s, it
wasn’t an immediate success in the same way that the Subaru GC platform
was.
The EVO 1 and 2 scored a handful of podiums from 93-95. Their first and
only win was in Sweden in 1995 when EVOs driven by Kenneth Eriksson
and Tommi Makinen finished 1st and 2nd. So, the EVO didn’t dominate
during this period, but showed a lot of promise, especially in the snow.
With the EVO 3 things started to take off. In 1996 the EVO took 3
‘championship for drivers’ wins under Makinen, although Subaru ended up
winning more manufacturer's championships. Later, with the EVO 4-6,
Mitisbishi would really start to dominate.
We never got them in the US
Besides the hardware and racing heritage, these cars are special in North
America because we simply never got em’. As it stands, they’re already a
low-production car, but show up to any meet in an EVO 1-6 and you're
bound to get some attention - they’re not something you’ll see in the wild.
