      Everyone learns somewhere. What you are seeing is the result of years of tinkering, reading documents, searching through forum posts, etc. Some people go to school and learn, others are self-taught. Also, the more friends you make in the hobby the more knowledge you collectively share. It's rare that someone knows everything, but everyone at least knows something. You can get there too one day if you wanted to!

      @Cristi Macovei Nah, Evo IX, can tell by some of the interior, the valve cover design on the IX's is diff than the VIII, and the final way to tell is the front bumper is designed differently than the VIII's. I used to own an VIII. Although some VIII owners swap to the IX front bumper, but generally speaking IX's easiest way to tell is that front bumper design. The VIII has a connecting piece where the logo sits, while the the IX is just a black grill piece, no bumper connection from the middle area. Also the IX bumper has two holes on either side of the FMIC.

    Love all your vids about building an Evo... your beast is the best one and hot looking car I’ve seen in TH-cam, keep up the good work.
