Im the guy that crashed the BMW, everything is fine except my wallet

Most importantly: the occupants of the crashed car were ok. Source: others seen them standing track-side and the track did not get closed (is the case when people require medical assistance).

Thank you for the ride of a lifetime Misha! The car survived a 7000+km, 12 day, 5 county, 1 racetrack, road trip, without any problems at all. I will fix the tyre situation and return next year. The tyres didnt have much markings on them from the rubbing it sounds much worse then it looks on the tyres. The car is my summer daily here in Sweden. Thank you again Misha! #pancakesforpancake

Best Nurburgring channel on KZfaq!

Good oil temps, brakes didn't fade, and great handling... will be a perfect ring wagon once the wheel fitment gets adjusted

Love the Evo wagon, didn't think you'd get the opportunity to drive one with how rare they are. The owner definitely needs to sort the wheel clearance issues, but it's very tastefully kept and looks great.

Best part is watching the fuel gauge drop it like it's hot. 😂

I love watching the speedo go past the "max"

Man at that scraping sound. It's like nails on a chalkboard (but kinda worse as in some instances it can cause bigger problems than just the unpleasant noise). Good job avoiding the accident.

Nice Evo! It's pretty rare to see a wagon one! Wish you the best Misha

well done misha, thats a racing driver right there, calm and collected and WELL avoided, keep up the awesome work

Man alive the madness you're experiencing on this track at the minute. Holiday needed i think. Epic content though.

So glad to see all concerned are safe. @mgcharoudin hats off to you sir for some awesome reactions there which undoubtedly saved a much bigger incident, not only avoiding it but also staying on the track yourself at what is a very challenging point on the lap with all the camber, direction and elevation changes. Awesome job but so glad all are safe more than anything.

This weeks videos just proves, the ultimate goal is being able get home safely Brilliant car, love these wagons and the forester sti, wish they were worldwide cars

Lots of wrecks as of late.... Be careful out there brotha!

Woah, an evo wagon! I had no idea those existed (as an American). I love wagons.

Holyshoot! Amazing footage! Keep going! Love your video!

It really hurts me to see that this beautiful car is grinding like this

6:27 naaa, mis respetos a la reacción que tuvo!!👏

Water temp climbing and fuel level dropping. Solid lap guys!

The scraping definitely impacted an otherwise nice soundtrack. Thanks Misha. Great driving and accident avoidance!!

I had problems with rubbing when I was running lowering springs with stock struts myself. I switched to coil overs with camber plates and got rid of the rubbing and it handles way better.

The Evo wagon, Nissan Stagea, Legnum VR4 and Subaru GTB are underrated JDM wagon sleepers.

Hi Misha! Great content as usual! It would be great to see a video about what people who aren't much into mechanics should look into with their old cars if it is their first time taking it to track! Would also help prevent easy mechanical failures :) Thank you for the lovely content

Nice to see a so respectful JDM wagon lover like this guy and credits to Misha for his good driving skills during that situation as he stated there was nothing to do more than that.

Have myself a LHD converted one - such a great car. Never thougt of camping it. Such a cool guy using ALL of it - loved to see that.

Same rotor and brake pads in my CTS-V. Very impressed with the bite from the Hawk pads and DBA T3 5000 rotors! Running Michelin Pilot Sport 4s.

Great drivind as usual Misha ! love that Evo ! hope the occupants of the crash are not injured

a great video all together. i will hopefully be shipping my '99 stagea 260RS next year and hope to be able to try the track one day. hope to see more content like this

Good to see you back on the ring misha, good to keep it going and dont get fear of crashing get you. Confidence!

I remember buying the hem pedal faces 25 years ago they were all the go. Great video misha.

Funny when the owner doesn’t realize how bad the rubbing is until it really gets driven 😂

I love the respect you have for people crashing they car. I skip the front car at point of impact. Because it sucks for they guy crashing. Big props man, love the content, i hope one day you will drive my rb20det powered big single turbo 200sx s13 track tool👌

Great vid as always. What a car, sublime. Lowering springs and semi slicks are rarely a good combination.

I love the high mileage. It shows that this gem actually gets driven!

This evo 9 wagan is so rare

wha t a driver, the reaction of the owner is priceless hahahahhaha, awsome car

What a ride ! Always had a soft spot from square wagons ♥ As others already commented, you had quite a few mishaps recently, not that they're your fault, but from experience i know it calls for backing-off a little, just temporarly, before something really bad happens (though it was a good call to lap the GT3 shortly after the crash to get back on your horse !). We just want you safe out here Misha, to live a long and happy life with Megi and all your projects ! Listening to your podcast recently made us even more in love with your personality, your character, your values, your choices ! Take care Misha, hope you two have a nice time in Croatia !

Definitely feel for the driver and after your reasoning Misha, I also feel for you too and you're right there was a photographer and the emergency track guys are experienced with that kind of predicament

Loving the wiper signals to inform of moving to outside for the carousel 😂😂😂

Used to have an '03 Outlander, had this issue: the rear diff used to bang on chassis when changing gears from 1 to 2nd/2nd to 3rd, same thing with this EVO (there are 2 bushing on rear diff MR580045 and MR580046 to be changed) Apart that and rubbing, AMAZING CAR!!!

That rubbin’ is outrageous! 😂My Hawk pads squeak like this too, but they’re great! Nice send, Misha.

00:46 the brake and wheel combo is sooooooooooooooooo nice omg perfect

Smart approach to tuning your ride

the sound of scraping.. I CANT

I love watching Misha saving it, in sitations that are almost certain disaster.

Best AWD car all the time.🤩

The E30M3 @ 8:30 is from Norway. :D I'll remember the dark wagon came past me when I hit the warning light there. :D

Looks like you hit about 250 at one point. Very very nice! The acceleration in 5th and 6 th is pretty good.

I've seen this guy and this car at several car meets in sweden. The evo wagon is such a cool car.

@Misha I died when the passenger said "DAUM" your face at 4:57 PRICELESS, yes tires way to wide! that was a good belly laugh! Thank you!

Just come across this after the 5 speed Evo 9 film... brilliant! I always wanted to see a 6 speed being driven hard so im less paranoid about mine 😂 Never been into the wagons but this is one wagon I'd have. I did chuckle when you turned the air con on, I always use it as the car picks up speed faster than the electric windows can close 😂 Evoooooo IX! ❤

Excellent video of a rare Evo Wagon. I have a stock 2005 VII wagon (Sport 2.0) with the 4G63 99 Kw. A bit thirsty, drives very good. Wood love a couple rounds on that track.

I'm not much of an Evo guy but the wagons are super cool. Owner seemed like a fun guy for lapping with as well.

The EVO IX is my dream car so seeing another one on the channel is great

If I recall the last EVO wasn't on great tires. This car seemed sorted other than being a bit too low for the track. Perfect for a daily. Nice lap other than the crash but thankfully it sounds like they are OK

We have the Evo wagon in Singapore as well. But it's mostly the 4 speed auto.

You can watch the crash though his sunglasses! 😎🔥💯 Amazing save as well brother

Was hesitating on buying one, but the thing that held me back the RHD only (because it would have been my DD in Switzerland)... Ended with a 2018 WRX STI instead !😍😍

As that black car was running wide onto the curb I was thinking they must have been looking back at the car approaching from behind fast as f*** and got caught off guard by the curb, poor driver, glad you guys avoided that one.... could have been far worse. Not to mention maybe losing one of so few Evo wags. That one would sting.

You can see the front impact on the reflection of the passanger. That was a hard front hit man

That was an epic lap great to see what the car actually can do as i'v got one myself 😁

Fantastic motor, only advice for the owner... get the whole underside sealed (wax oiled as we call it in Ireland) very bad for rust and rot underneath. Great lap other than the obvious and the yellows

Would love to see you drive an EVO X GSR one day. Love the videos keep em coming! 😁

wooah, the recent videos of you misha have a lot of close calls and mishaps. Be Well my friend keep 'em COMING!!!! :D

Great video as always Misha. The car is 1 I've never seen before & the owner seems like such a great guy & was so relaxed & easy going. I'm glad the BMW driver was alright.

235 width tires are stock size for the Evo 9. The rubbing issue is not the tire size, it's the wheels that are too offset for the car. Looks good but doesn't function good on track. I used to run 255 on my Evo and some track guys will run 275 without issue.

1/4 fuel tank in 16km..amazing

wow. I am a little fan of Misha and EVO, and now they are together )))) awesome!!!!

That was a real close call 😮

That yellow came at just the right time, because the water temp had been rapidly increasing. The stock gauges in modern cars are usually quite heavily center weighted so when they start to go north of the centre line they're usually on their way to overheating. This is why I like an extra gauge that gives an accurate temp reading. Him turning on the aircon didn't seem to do the temp any favours either, more load on already heavily loaded engine. You'll see the gauge started to go north of centre at around 8.55 and aside from a brief cooldown during the first flag, its steadily climbing after that. Maybe he could change the coolant to that waterless stuff where its less dangerous for the temps to get high.

How did you know i was begging for an evo 9 wagon video! My hero!!!

As it was said in other comments, 235 width is stock on Evo 8 & 9. I was running 255/40/17 on both my Evos on stock suspension and without any rubbing. My 8 had rubbing only after I installed the coilovers and lowered it and 9 was fine on stock bilstein suspension. Just find the right offset wheels!

Love the Day's of Thunder reference

You can fit 255 with rolling the fenders. I was running 265 with a modest roll and pull but I rubbed, but I was 2mm lower than I should be.

That was a close one! For me the scariest part of the whole track is foxhole and right after it. Big speeds, downhill and one look in the mirror at that speed and can get you like the BMW. Misha, what advice would you get when going down and how to avoid situations like this?

I love that the speed is going off the speedo past 180 and still has another gear left

Seems like a tarmac spec rally car will be ideal around the Nurburgring. Monza Rally was part of the WRC. A German Rally with a N'Ring Special Stage would be very cool. They could include the South loop, too.

We have good numbers of the wagon in New Zealand. Caldina GT4's too.

I found it so funny with the speedometer going over 180, I'd mark it with a pen or something xD

Unlike the previous Evo that I drove here we have a six gear - hahah soo funny and that smile and look into the camera, hilarious

Very cool dash overlay in this vid, and cool car too😅

A lot of Scandinavians has this habit of adapting accents, so a lot of us can sound somewhat "American" when we speak English, I'd say Nordics, but Finns... do have a strong habit of Rally English :P

What a car. Good job Misha 🤘

The noises!!! Crazy!

damn i remember JRM from the old days the days of ~110k SEK r32 GTR's and ~80k SEK r33 gts-25t's

Misha, your a stand up dude! Nothing more you could have done for that fella that got sideways. Plus like you said. There were plenty of folks within 100 or so meters from the accident. I hope they were okay!

The speed gauge cam is hilarious in this video

"rubbing is racing" hahaha, what a quote

Is written on the car manual : "In doubt , floor it" :D

Close call! 😱😱😱

thanks dude for the glasses i could just see a bit of the after math lmao

Such a lovely car, didnt know about this though. Might be a grail now for me

car clocked over 1.9L kms, and still runs like a charm

2:59 thats very interesting because misha sounds a bit like my friend who also learnt a lot through videogames

what a sick whip. gotta love evo wagons.

That fuel gauge drop reminds me of my Subaru when I went on the ring. Also a quarter tank in 1 lap GONE. But it's the price we pay for fun.

I love Evo's but this is special, a shame is so rare...

I bought one of these 10 years ago. Such a good car, wish I never sold it.

My ocd wouldn't let me carry on driving this car like ypu did @misha, well done on your sharp reflects.
