First!!! You been on fire with this constant uploads brother. keep it up.

Mitsubishi should relesse a heritage program for all their evo parts. That would be awesome 👌

I've owned my Evo 8 since 2004. For people who are thinking about getting an Evo they need to be aware of a few things. The stock ride on an Evo 8 is very stiff. Driving on the freeway for long periods maybe too much for some people. The stock turbo is an older on/off type so it doesn't build power smoothly like the new ones. The handling on these cars are excellent and allows me to drive with confidence. Lastly the Evo gets attention on the streets. If you don't like attention the Golf R is a better daily 4 door sedan for you. That being said I still love driving my Evo and even rebuilt my engine after 185k.

I love the EVO, it’s my dream car since childhood, and it’s what got me into the car scene in the first place. If I could own one, I would be set for life.

Grabbed my EVO IX, in 06 with 3 miles on it, had no idea in the future it would be considered a unicorn! Now that I’m a dad it’s funny to have my sons friends come over say hey that’s a car from fast and furious lol. And I do agree with life happening, “go take a drive” the car always gives me a smile when I drive it. Thanks for the clip homie stay safe! 🙏🏼

I have been wanting an evo since 2015. I got one in 2020. I've been daily driving it for 3 years 40k miles later and I don't regret getting it but DAMN my pockets and ass hurt.

I love the platform and believe Evos are worth it if you have the love and patience for them. It’s a blessing to drive one and it’s one the last cars of a car era so if one has the means for ownership, I definitely think it’s worth it. Great video brotha!

Iv owned a 4,6 and 10, a great strong reliable performance car, the more numbers you chase, the issues you seem to acquire. 👍🏻

I just go one for 22k built motor stock turbo and injectors. Tuned to 340whp . Clean title south car chassis has 180k but motor has 1-2k. It’s honestly a blast and I hope to keep it forever

Will be buying a evo 9 thank you 🙏🏽 30 k low miles weekend warrior letsss goooo

old jdm cars are slowly becoming "if you love it buy it, if not get somethin better for the crazy price tag"

Thank you for your content. I took the 3rd evo I’ve owned for dyno day to find out I’m going to have to rebuild the engine. I’ve thought about throwing in the towel and selling the car. Reconsidered it and plan to slowly give the IX the TLC she deserves. I’m grateful to have bought a house last year to have a garage. If it means 4 years of the evo being in the garage to get to a standard I’m happy with, I’m up for it. Thank you for reminding me to not give up🤙

Previously owned a 2014 Evo X for 6 years. Dead nuts reliable, handled power extremely well. Loved that car! Currently own and just bought a mint 2003 Evo 8 and its amazing. Defintely worth keeping these cars going. Nothing beats the personality and characteristics of these cars. My 03 is a forever dream car for me that I was fortunate enough to purchase. I am one who paid 35k for the 8 but I'm a diehard Evo guy. Price didn't matter much to me.

This just affirmed everything I had in mind, this is an absolute dream car and I will definitely take the step towards buying one in the next year. Thanks for your explanation.

Respect to that salesman sitting at the desk behind the computer because when he stated he advised not buying no new vehicle in this economy that sincerely felt genuine seeing he is content driving old Celica and not being bothered with a bunch of financial debt is a person that is financially mature and concerned about his well being cause vehicles have become very overpriced people paying 500-600 a month on small economy cars like Corolla and Honda civics and that's with good credit scores.... So shout out to that salesman!!!!!👏

just bought an 8.. super excited to get it delivered!

"This is the only video that get's right to the point!" ...after 7 minutes of a Starbucks run vlog lol.

RRT is here in CT, I've been told if you own an EVO that's the only place to get it tuned from. No one else, cause this guy RAIF is the EVO god.

I had my EB 9 for 7 years and it never gave me any major problems. It was FBO with a fp red. I moved onto M3s but what car do I never see on the road An Evo. It’s a special car and if you can find a good one and take care of it will be a great experience.

Evos are a good car that has a purpose but I had to get a daily man 😂. It does everything it’s suppose to do very well but as you get older you want a classy car with some comfort

Got my evo ix se in 2008 with 38k miles and now it’s at 204k miles with a built transmission and that’s it. I loved it from the beginning to now and would never change it for anything. I’ve been offered upwards of 28k for it with the miles it’s got on it now and like always I tell them It’s not and will never ever be for sale.

I don’t mind spending the money because again I’m in love with the platform. But Mitsubishi does need a heritage program badly. I’m thankful to have a low mileage EVO ix at 29k miles but I’m super anal and I replace anything with a scratch on it and store parts away because the discontinued feeling hurts.

Good advice bro, get out of the house, go for a drive, get some coffee😊

Just spent 10K to refresh the whole EVO X chassis + AYC diff, mitsu really don’t have great part program for Evo parts. Even the front lip and rear subframe cross members are no longer in production. Kind of glad I had it done before the parts went out!😂

I still want an evo 6/8/9 someday 🙏🏾

Bought a Evo 8 3 months ago, not a single regret lol, well….yet 🤣.

Drive evo 9 electric blue everyday for work went new and still going and love it, replace part 1 clutch, radiator,2 set of tire, 3 battery 1set b.pad 1 timing belt about 3k on it for the years .all new sport car performance just a tiny better with to much electronic and 55k and more, got mind new in 2007 gsr for 31k ,I tell my wife it family car 😂 the Evo is good and made my family happy safe that what you want out any car.

@joshyu $1,000 for an OEM alternator or starter?!! 😳 That’s crazy! Not sure if everyone is aware, but at that cost it would be worth just having your core rebuilt at a shop. In the Bay Area I recommend San Jose Generator & starter. That particular shop does excellent work at a fraction of the cost & to top it off you’ll still have your original core. I have one alternator that’s still going for over 20yrs now for another car. There are similar shops all over the US. Might be a good way to save a small fortune without sacrificing quality.

Good vid bro. I know it’s worth buying one all day it is. Just patience’s Is the key with Mitsu. Me owing a 9 GG and a 95 3K VR4 yeah money is a factor but if you love the platform you pay to play. I am a die hard Mitsu Guy only cars I ever owned. Best to rack up on certain Mitsu parts that are discontinued etc. if you are a baller you can go all out and get Billet stuff. Now since Mitsu does not plan on making cars. They should at least do an heritage program like Nissan and Toyota on making OEM PARTS again at least. These cars are getting harder an more rare even rebuilt and salvaged title ones are going up. Of course do you’re homework know the platform etc. know the history

Obsessed G just spent 80k on a 1900 mile 8 MR. I feel Like they will continue to appreciate. And none of those German cars you mention would not hold a candle to the IX. Even the “new technology” you are talking about are heavy, ugly, more complex and harder to work on. I love The new FL5, but I feel like my IX MR with my few mods would still pull away from one. Nothing will ever compare to a IX IMO. The greatest AWD Turbo ever.

Recently bought an Evox been a mitsubishi guy since paul walker;s green eclipse. And i already have a fully built 3000gt. And i got it for pretty cheap at 17k for a phantom black evox @52k miles out the door. For me it was completely worth getting. I don't intend on building it past bolt-ons and just enjoying it for what it is. Which is great because this evox already came with Ams intercooler,piping.boost controller and a vibrant single exit exhaust. So i really don't need to buy any mods.

If I can add my opinion there is a saying you gotta pay to play. It doesn't matter what you're going to buy for fun it will cost you and anything you modify you will sacrifice reliability. You learn that easily from your tuner on the 1st day before it even gets parts or jumps on the dyno. If you're concerned about how old it is personally, I wouldn't be. Technology catches up to you, but it also brings exciting new options to old platforms. When the 8s and 9's came out 2003-2006 the car was crazy ahead of its time when it comes to performance, but you have to keep in mind this was the early stages of tuning in the US the previous Evo's were never even in the US market. So a 600awhp Evo was killing cars like KB Cobras and M3s. Now there's cars coming out with 500-800hp right out of the gate. Luckily for older cars turbos and mods have become better so your older car will be able to keep up if not beat most cars. At one-point 1000hp Evos on the street were rare now you find them and some are sequential with over 1200hp just killing it. There's a lot that goes into something like that. The point is it's not a cheap hobby to have if you want one you want one for the right reason. And it doesn't have to be an Evo it can be and NSX, Supra, STI etc. I sold my Evo a long time ago it was super reliable, quick, easy to work on 'just ask a BMW owner how fun it is to work on a BMW' I made up my mind I will be buying another and keeping it in 2025 maybe before the Summer of next year and the second I get it I'm sending it off to get worked on. Can't wait.

depends on the price. doea it make sense ? no they are old cars part's harder to find. if you have income to f around with a still be great on bills then yeah do it

Btw the answer is yes. It's worth it.

And didn’t even get into the usability of the gearing, once you’re not stock, you pretty much have to change your final drive to utilize all the power

I have a fbo FE with 2800 miles. Love it. Never getting rid of it.

Gotta love the older Corolla! ours stayed with us for 25 years and was still running when we decided we weren’t going to keep it!

Very good video!

Idk if I fully agree with the outdated part and comfort part. I daylied my evo 9 for 10 years on coilovers and and 460+ hp on stock block. Beat the shit out if it for its whole life 100k miles worth and never had an engine issue i didn't cause. I do agree it's way over priced these days and I just spent 22k to fully build mine. Still love the car. It also has a super impressive awd system even compared to modern standards.

Love my low mileage, stockish, Evo 9. Gonna hold onto it for a while.

Hey man. Just bought my first evo and I’m 24! So hyped to finally get one of my dream cars. Just replaced the monoloc and flushed all the fluids. Do you baby yours or do you yknow drive it like an evo is meant to be driven?

Appreciate you gang.

I loved it,been my dream car but as you said i am not willing to pay 35k and blow in my hands cause they old cars nowadays sooo will wait or not have it,i will deal with that ,prefer to save and invest in other things

I’ve been thinking of buying next year!!!

With E85 you'll likely have trouble starting in colder climates. But if you're in Florida, Socal etc. you're good!

My X MR was totally worth it

With prices rising the way they have I'm glad I was able to get my 8 when I did in 2009, but I will never get rid of it, its become such a huge part of me I would feel empty without my CT9A and it never ends I prob have over 30k invested but I mean the options are endless.

Imo they aren’t worth it there’s a lot of different modern platforms that make more power for cheaper

drove a 6.5 TME and a type r GC sti on one of my japan trips, both monsters but i ended up swapping a coupe 2.5rs here in the states purely for the parts. DSM seem to be going the way of the dodo, where as subaru seems to stock basically all you need since you have a huge year range that is a direct fit. Sad to see these kinda fading from no real support from mitsu.

Great Vid…I guess I Cant Afford an Evo or GSX 😪

So, I have a 370z I want to move to an Evo X as a Daily. I don’t need a ton of power just something fun that’s reliable and being able to enjoy my dream car for a year or two. I work remote so I wouldn’t drive it to to much. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your honest review I’m on my 4th Eclipse I hate it, but addicted. @2G Mitsubishi Eclipse car scene.

I got a GR corolla in March after years of looking for a clean evo 8 or 9. Still would like an evo one day but the GR corolla has been making me happy

Picked up my evo ix mr for 29k few months ago. 98k mile. Clean title lightly mod.

Love my old Evo but when I had to buy another X it was so hard finding one that wasn't clapped out with the previous owner hardly maintaining it

I rather have old-school cars than anything new cars now these days.

Love the bonnet pal

The STI and Evo were worth it until factory cars like bmw, Kia, etc started producing boosted cars.

The day I finally get my Evo, it will definitely be an impulse buy 😂

thanks bro you really helped me, so ima sell my hawk sti for an evo 😀😀

Now whats your opinion on keeping the car stock or doing simple bolt ons and daily driving it?

It's always worth it.

There is no way Evos are worth the price they are going for. They are on the same overpriced level as 240sx. Don't get me wrong I love Evos but I'd rather take a clean DSM than an evo.

Answer:YES video done....

My guy in the IE I recognize that 91 Freeway

Have you driven a IX with S-AYC?

How much did you get for the Evo x ?

Love Starbucks coffee😋, skip the sandwich bro!

My evo was also a financial mistake.. I still love it though and maybe hate it aswell 😂

As much as I want another IX my adulting tells me to settle for a Gr Corolla

Do yall think i will still be able to get an evo9 in 2030 if i had the money?

I keep hearing people say that parts for these are becoming hard to find can someone give me an example of what those hard to find parts are?

Was your black 9 from CO a SE model?

I want a white evo 9 but can’t see myself paying 35k plus 😂, I’ll keep waiting to decided between an sti or evo x.

Mint man

What about evo x?

Bravo ! EVO hyped car Mercedes C63 Benz for me

Seriously dude…I own a Supra and Civic HB and cops never bother me….I guess it because I don’t have a Evo parked at Cal Poly

You still writing service?

You know I said it in your last vlog..Nutten beat a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

Bs where can u get a sti ra motor for 2g

Too much financial risk for most poeple. Not worth it.
