- In this episode of ANSWRD - the show where car owners review their vehicles, we go for a ride with Ruch in his 2003 Mitsubishi EVO 8 that has over 100,000 miles on it.
ANSWRD is a series of car reviews by real owners. Not automotive journalists like Chris Harris, Doug Demuro or The Straight Pipes. Cars in this series include the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari F12/F430 and 458 Italia, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, Drift Cars and others!
The question Evo owners always get is "How does it compare to the WRX STI?" and about 2 minutes in, Ruch answers that question.
Some other things covered in this video are trunk space, annoying problems like squeaks from the race brakes, modifications done to the car, the boost gauge, running E85 to get 400+ horsepower from an Evo and more. Hope you enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
A 4 door saloon, a large space on back seats plus the luggage. The performance, the affordability, tunability it is really a versatile car .
I feel like the title should be why its better than an STi. Of course the Evo is better than the WRX. It has more options and is just better. For Mitsubishi, there Evo is (or was) there full on boy racer AWD monster and that's what the STi is for Subaru. The WRX is the "dumb down" version of the STi if that makes sense. Just to be clear I am not hating on the Evo I'm just saying why I think the title should be changed lol
Evo is better than WRX Sti 🙄
Stis are nice but evos are just better.
@@onyiiilo378 we all know who last in production
@@klgrzn it means nothing! 4G63t is superior to your boxer crap!
Why don't EVO owners put tints on their windows?
I'm honestly not too sure, I'll ask Ruch.
My guess is that the car already looks good enough without it :)
Thanks for watching Lin!
Lin Xu i did on my silver evo 8 all carbon parts to looks savage
Weight saving bro. lol
I tinted mine
Option for no wing? Lies unless you buy the RS version.
all sports cars should have a spoiler. No spoiler makes it a girly car...
You can take the wing off with no issues, all you need to do is plug up the holes in the trunk. The wing is made to add downforce when you exceed 120 mph fyi.
Good to finally see Ruch's Evo! Kind of interesting he mentions an S2k as a daily over this. My buddy has a red Evo 8, and surprisingly it is modded the same. Cams, exhaust, no apparent suspension mods. Kind of weird cams seems to be a big thing with Evo owners. I would worry about the smog!
Hey Steve, yeah cams are a big thing in the Evo world. Back when they actually sniffed the car, it had no trouble passing, it actually was well under the required numbers. Nowadays they don't even sniff post 2000 cars so the cams are invisible anyway.
I wouldn't daily an s2000 Iv drove it daily for almost 2 years now. it is fun to drive but you gotta save those miles!!!!!!!
You're seeing the same mods on many Evos, because that's what it takes to uncork the motor:
BPU for an Evo VIII: MBC, TBE, fuel pump, IX DV, mild cams, tune.'
BPU for an Evo IX: MBC, TBE, tune.
Lol MBC.. come on man, it's not 2005. Boost is FAR better off being controlled by a 3 port tuned on a Tephramods V7 stock ECU.
How's the maintenance?
Do you look forward or reverse when you drive??? Who cares if the spoiler blocks the rear view a little.
9:06 and here i am still playing cds, man do i feel like a chump
Haha thanks for watching, you're definitely not a chump!
Lol got got get with the times bro. MP3 Bluetooth is the way to go these days. That’s all your CDs with out having to change discs. You can program playlists... technology is great man.
Evo ftw
what to look out for.. gearbox, rear diff , transfer box.. (i dont think that guy owns that car)
You think incorrectly good sir.
uhh not for a stock evo lol all those can take 500hp pretty well with the right usage and maintenence
@@brotomwang8218 beeing an owner for 7years of my evo.. i can now add more stuff.
@@fraguzz damn i got mine 2 years ago. 2003 8 but it came with a bunch of shit like hks 272s and shep tcase so previous people have had their problems now i have dropped 4k in go fast parts im boutta put on. whats done to yours?
@@brotomwang8218 Engine: 2.3 Manley stroker (rods, pistons,crankshaft) GSC s1 Cams, JUN camgears, Hks manifold with a GTX2871r gen1 turbo, 720cc injectors, 255 pump, trial external gate. asembled by me and a friend.
ECU stock.. mapped by me with some help, 2.2bar boost.
Changed inputshaft and 5 gear from a Evo9, 1000nm diff tube, ACT 6 pot clutch. changed by me.
Floating front discs with ds2500 and dsracing pads...
And other stuff to..
rpm limit.. 7000 stock.. my evo does 7500-7600rpm stock..
think he meant to say where the red starts on the cluster, he did say right after its tuned for 7500
Evo's have 7500 rpm limit from factory. People usually tune for 8000 rpm.
Stock rev limit is 7606 RPM.
my evo revs to 8k
@@brotomwang8218 mine is 10k 👌
"Does it drift" ... uhhh have you seen Tokyo Drift...? Main character wins the last race in an Evo 8 lol... >_>
"If you have a budget to own an evo" ... "No one who has a budget owns an evo. Sorry."
Conner Goldberg the evo 8 on f&f tokyo drift was build into a rear wheeldrive so it could drift like that, in the movie the car in the last race was a Ford Mustang shelby GT with The nissan RB26DETT motor from the S15.. didnt want to be a smart ass tho (´・ω・)
SUBARU IS better balance i see alto of SUBARU beating evos
Juan Castillo IF YOU KEEP LIEING TO YOURSELF IT WONT COME TRUE
lern2spel
Evo's have a better reputation taking more abuse than subies. 😆
Give US the ej207 and it'll be a damned hard decision.
U don’t like the wing wtf??
To each his own! I love the look from the outside, but it makes visibility tough.
That is why Truckers are the best drivers in the world! No rear visibility at all. I have a 2005 Evo 8 MR and love it!@@shouldigetit
I want those stock wheels on my evo 7
Sick username!
@@shouldigetit Thanks, named it after the infamous 1320 video street racing channel based in the US
I really love evos
Why do you love evos?
The evos are less reliable and uncomfortable. Mitsubishi doesn't have a single reliable car in their history. I still want one though it's quiter.
I've had both and still have the evo and the build quality between them both is miles apart .The evo is by far the better built car and is a better car all round .
Very cool that you owned both! Thank you for watching, Andy
I have owned both too and IMO the STI is way more solid than the (Cedia) EVO 7/8 . Had the STI prodrive , best car i ever owned . Driving an EVO 8MR now because the STI is very expensive and hard to get in Thailand .
+SWD3104725 wow you had both in Thailand? That’s cool! I’m heading to Thailand in August
Actually i had the STI in Holland . Moved to Thailand 8 years ago and got a good deal on a Japanese import EVO 8MR . Problem is import cars like the EVO and STI are heavily taxed and very expensive in Thailand . For example a brand new Mazda BT50 with all the goodies is around U$25.000 ... a new EVO 10 will set you back U$130.000 . Since 2 years second hand import isn't even allowed anymore .
To it is the opposite. the STI’s overall built is better than the Evo. Interior and exterior wise.
Two different level cars shouldn't be compared smh
TY for watching!
no way 350ish on 91....
What makes you not believe it? Not the first time an Evo has made that on 91.
I barely made 300 on 91. added 70hp on e85 I want to see the mod list and copy it! old tune 2009
www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-dyno-tuning-results/456319-nothing-like-little-e85.html
Your numbers look right, Patrick. I've had my IX for 11 years.
I agree, I have a 3 inch TBE, EBC, ACT HDSS clutxh with streetlight flywheel (13lbs vs 21 stock) and I made 313whp and 305lbs of torque on 93.
FWIW, my IX with a MBC, TBE (w/cat), and a tune pulls between 300-320whp on 93, depending on the day, on STM's Mustang.
It may be better than the wrx but it's not better than the STI
Stop it lmao
Antonio Burkhart last I checked an sti needed to upgrade suspension just to get close to the Evo around a track and needed a bigger turbo and built block just to make the same numbers a stock turbo stock block Evo could do.
Antonio Burkhart In terms of performance the Evo is a better car. It's just a fact.
Bob Doe I know. I am just saying that because I love STI's
Hector Renteria I understand that I just like the STI more which is why I said that
4g63 > boxer
If you could have either car for free, which would you take and what would your first mod be?
@@shouldigetit I have a 03 Evo 8 and a 98 2g eclipse gst Spyder. Both are heavily modded.
Sick! How much boost on the EVO8?
@@shouldigetit currently 21 psi on a gt40.
Cuzz the sti is a bitch to work on and not reliable at all
Funny thing in japan wrx is better
Interesting, Is there a certain reason for this in Japan?
Juan Castillo PROOF?
