CP9A
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V and VI
4G63T, 2.0 turbo, all-wheel drive
Evolution V and VI share the CP9A code, running January 1998 to August 2001. The Tommi Mäkinen Edition sits inside the same run.
These were sold to be driven quickly, and most were. A clean Evo sheet is rarer than a clean GT-R sheet, and the marks that matter are structural rather than cosmetic.
Front-end structure
A B mark at the front of the diagram, or an R grade, is common on rally-bred cars. Ask for photographs of the strut towers and the core support.
Rust at the rear arches and boot floor
Evos rust where the rear arch meets the sill and around the spare wheel well. An S2 there is welding, not filler.
Engine and drivetrain notes
Handwritten notes about noise, an aftermarket turbo or a swapped gearbox change the car more than any diagram mark. On a 4G63 they are the sheet's most valuable lines.
Every mark named above is defined in the codes library, with what it costs to put right at US rates.
Night Line
Be told when a CP9A matters
We write when the CP9A clears another month of the 25-year rule, when the yen moves more than 3% your way, and once when the free Decode opens. Nothing else.
