The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Reborn
This is a classic Japanese classic car, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution originally made in 2005 so it is not too old, but the car that we see in front of us is far removed from the car that rolled off the production five years ago.
The car has been given a new leash of life both inside and out, it could be said that this is an American dream car transferred into a small family sized car from Japan, if that is at all possible of course.
The EVO as they have come to be known is a relative newcomer to the US market probably starting around 2003, so that means the car itself is not going to found everywhere in the US and as such not many are going to know what is, especially if it has been debadged this would really confuse the locals.
This is a nice looking car, from outside the colour is right and on the inside a bit of thought has gone into the layout; this can only mean that whoever brought this car into the world of import building knew exactly what they wanted and how the finished article was going to look.

OBX Silver Overdrive Power Pulley Kit 03-05 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII 4G63
Product Features
Super Lightweight T-6061 T-6 Aircraft Grade Billet Aluminium
Computer CNC Machined For Precision Balance
Increased Horsepower and Torque across Entire RPM Range
Dyno-tested And Proven On Race Track
High Quality Polished & Anodized Finishes
Designed to replace OEM accessory pulleys, OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are designed to be lighter than the stock pulleys. By reducing the rotational mass, the engine uses less power to power accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump which translates into more available horsepower and torque. This well-known and highly utilized process is known as reducing parasitic drag from power-robbing accessories. Depending on application, some of our pulleys have a larger diameter than stock. By utilizing the process of over-driving, the accessory is utilized more efficiently by doing more work on a single spin of the pulley. OBX Overdrive Power Pulley Kits are a great upgrade for any driver to realize the full potential of his or her prized vehicle.
