Verik yeah man this goes for all performance cars across the states the prices vary heavily. For example when i was stationed in Tennessee i could find low mileage stock evos going for 20k or less this one evo 8 i found had 52k miles stock everything going for 15k a fucking steal for that price also found an sti that was absolutely beautiful with tasteful mods going for 14k with only 55k miles!!!!
B M hell yeah man some people sell their shit for fair prices man, its kind off ass backwards now a days, all the heavily modified shit goes for astronomical value but the mostly stock shit is being sold for dirt cheap. One example was again when i was living in Tennessee there were 2 beautiful FD RX7’s on sale on craigslist one was stock for the most part with a freshly rebuilt motor going for like 15-16k and a ls swaped fd with higher miles on the body going for 30k. I remember just a few years ago modified cars were being sold for way less than their stock counterparts in the same condition and thats how it should’ve stayed but i guess its just the new norm now to make you money back on the mods
One reason why I think Evo's are underrated is because people seem not to understand the concept of a tuner car. Evo is one of the best blank-canvas cars for tuning (with STI and GTR), as a stock one sucks a lot but they are relatively easy to adjust to driver's preferences
Evo is still the dream car, around here 8 and 9 are still over 20 grand with any amount of miles, probably just gonna have to get an evo x, till then my speed 3 will do just fine
I remember buying an Acura RSX Type-S... my insurance was $230/month. I had to trade it in. I took insurance into consideration when i recently bought my GTI. Brand new GTI is only costing me $54 /month. It's a 4-door hatchback.. and I'm glad there isn't a huge demand like there is for Civics or STIs/EVOs. I too am worried about big wings and an aggressive looking car that will be a cop magnet. I can de-badge my GTI and make it look like a Golf TSI, haha. But my biggest reason for going with a GTI is because I was driving a car getting 16 MPG... and the GTI with a stage 1 or 2 can get 35 MPG and 350 HP on a Limited Slip Diff.
I re-cleared my wing in my garage no problem! Did have to get the brakes re-powdercoated. I think the Evo is more comfortable for smalle people also. And why no cruise?!! Still - I LOVE my Evo!
Too true about insurance. Almost bought a low mileage 2014 Rally Red Evo X GSR 4 or 5 months ago for a really reasonable price and almost fainted when I heard insurance prices.
I drove my friends evo9 a month ago, its comfortable to drive, feels like a BMW with 2x the power and when theres tons of torque from 2000rpm already. Feels like the car wants to keep going forever when it hits 2500, it just starts to pull harder and harder even if you try to feather the throttle :D Really, stock evo is a very nice car. And no it doesnt rattle much or have alot of road noise. Feels like the maker of the video has mods on his car and its had its wear already :)
Evos are bullet proof. I h Developed a death whine in 2008. Still drives like a beast. I think the death whine is the biggest false rumor spread in our community. Evos make noises..turn the radio up.
interior is easy to fix... power windows are not a necessity... manual window can help you exercise.. Cruise control.....if you're really a good driver with focus on the street and your speed which should always be the case..as in other simpler words...disciplined and defensive driving...then this is not a problem. Rear Spoiler.. yeah it can be distracting... so better adjust the design to fit street riding... coz the original design is more for rally driving... Insurance.. yes I agree with you on that... but here in Manila... not really an issue. Someone wanting to race... if the road permits then why not... but the risk will always rest on the driver... Cant keep your foot on the gas....that's exciting thou... and depends if the Fuel price in your area is affordable..unlike here in Manila, its almost US1.25/litter already (or say US$4.85/gallon). bottom line....you are great and love your vlog and you do have a nice evo...
Just saying my coworker Dave has an EVO 9 with 280k miles... it drives amazing. I’ve driven it a few times. All stock, original everything besides clutch. It’s his DD.
Ha Ha Ha!!! I feel you on a lot of these. Except the diss on the Evo X MR bro. 😎😋 I love an old school manual, however, that twin clutch from a factory standpoint is much better than the 5-speed. Obviously upgrading (cheaper) you have a point. As my DD, I have zero regrets and wonder if the car would have sold better if people realized it’s a baby GTR and straight up a steal for the 💰
Hey... I'm nearly there. buying my own Evo 9... the question is. I live in Germany and we Have the Autobahn. Is it intelligent to buy and MR or should I stick to a 5 speed? I want to daily it but also reck some supercars in my area. I thought about 500WHP.
Okay thanks for sharing your opinion of why you don't like evo, but your opinions are a bit silly except for the transmission. You can actually adjust your transmission the way you want it cause a friend of mine adjusted his evo's transmission and he has no problem with it after that.
I always wanted the X 2013 evo lancer but felt like its not reliable even though im a mechanic and my mission is to fix anything that breaks but im curious because apart from the evo 9 Mr i like the X
I was just expecting this video to say everything that can go wrong will go wrong. I mean.. it's an Evo... We all love them but they aren't exactly cooperative when you're modding them lol
Idk why most stock v6 challenger drivers think they are fast... they can get beat by nearly every grocery getter. Hell, a base model Bonneville is faster.
Hey whats some of you equipment you use for you film set up id like to know to set up my own channel. Any response would be appreciated love your videos man keep up the work
If Arnold Schwarzenegger was Asian he would sound like this dude.. I own a evo7.. this video was just funny for the most part . Would make every racer boy or man just go out and buy one lol
Why tune an Evo man, that is my question. It is already perfectly set up from factory, after a certain degree if tuning, it becomes a pain to own and to drive. If you want something fast, and I am not talking to YOU, but to anyone who owns such a vehicle, buy something faster. The car loses its real point when it is tuned. There are no actual reasons for someone to hate, or not to like it, it is what it is, a road-going rally car, that is meant to be spartan and full of plastic.
There is a perfect balance of power and usabilty, which gets ruined when the car is tuned. It is said by many experts that know many about these cars and you cant retain that balance, unless you tune it to perfection. That is my opinion and I believe that what is done to Evos is wrong. 400hp is more than enough with a slight tune...
George Vranos Yes, ...but you personally have a different definition of what a perfect ratio of daily drivability vs power is vs someone else. Some people want more and will trade more than you're okay with for it.
I find simply absurd and revolting that in some countries you are required to pay insurance. A fcking monthly fee for something that you supposedly own. Also, taxes.. Aren't humans supposed to be free, so why we been treated like slaves by governments?
@@kyledelsan7024 when u have to drive daily on a hilly city the manual just gets frustrating, i have a manual Mitsubishi and a vw with dsg gearbox, and the dsg is just straight chill bro haha
There are so very few things that i dont like about my Evo 8 that i dont really have enough complaints to create an actual list, but the one thing i absolutely dont like is definitely the Turning Radius! I have to do a 3 point turn a lot more than i would like. I guess if you plan on making power, the tranny's, especially the 6MT is pretty weak, but i had English rebuild mine and now its solid! The interior is pretty average, but i have an SSL model, and i love the leather interior! what i think is far more important to know is the common issues that these Evos have. I wouldnt let any of these problems stop you from buying one of these awesome cars, but If you DO buy an Evo 8/9, these are the top things to check out ASAP after you buy it. 1) *PROBLEM: Ignition Switch malfunction. *SYMPTOMS: Car is hard to start. Sometimes takes a few minutes to get it to turn over. *FIX: Take the column covers off and tighten the screws on the switch located on the left side. If this doesnt fix it, u'll need to replace the switch *TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 10-20min 2) *PROBLEM: Key Switch Reminder short *SYMPTOMS: Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep even when the keys are out of the ignition. Key FOB wont work *FIX. Take column covers off and remove the little white box right behind the ignition. Either replace the entire harness with ignition keyring light & reminder, or you can just delete that function all together by connecting the 2 green wires that go to the reminder switch, & the car will always think the keys are out. *TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 10-20min 3) *PROBLEM: (If you have a Sunroof) Sunroof stops working because the screws that hold the motor to the roof come loose. *SYMPTOMS: Broken Sunroof *FIX: Remove the headliner to access the sunroof motor, find the loose screws. Manually push the sunroof to the fully open position. push the open button so the motor goes to the open position. Screw the motor back up and make sure to use loctite this time. *TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 30min to an hour depending on how familiar you are with removing the headliner. 4) *PROBLEM: Water corroding the lower Drivers side harness(This was definitely the most serious issue ive had) *SYMPTOMS: Lights not turning Off, Wipers going Crazy, Car not turning off....Pretty much all accessories go haywire. What happens is water gets through the fender grommet on the drivers side and drips down the harness wires and rests in the connectors behind the kick panel under the dash and corrodes all the wires. *FIX: Basically rewiring two of the connectors(about 20 wires). It only looks like a few wires are effected at first glance, but 99% of the time they all need to be rewired. All 3 wires in the black connector, and all wires in the white connector located above the black one. Hard wiring with solder is the best way to fix, but waterproof heat shrinking solder connectors work well. Make sure to seal the grommet w/ silicone & use a lot of dielectric grease on all the new connections. *TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 1-2Hrs depending on method 5) PROBLEM: Power Window wont work SYMPTOMS: Power window regulator cable breaks, causing the window to not work. FIX: You can buy just the regulator w/o motor and replace that. TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: About 45 min 6) *PROBLEM: Fuel Tank Lid broken *SYMPTOMS: Fuel Tank Lid wont Pop *FIX: Replace the missing Spring *TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 5min HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE
Haha the turning circle isn't great... people always look at me like i'm an idiot. Also, fuel consumption in combination with a small tank is an issue... Only manage 2-3 laps of the Nurburgring to a tank. Still fucking love her though!
for the turning radius LOL same here, there was a very tight u-turn section when i go to my university and i can't avoid that place. all the cars went through there smoothly except those big truck or pick-ups. and me, with my evo have to roll it back once and complete that turn, people r looking at me like "dude, can u actually drive?" LOL
Depends how much you're willing to spend. Most important part of buying an evo is making sure you have a shop locally that knows how to work on it since i can almost guarantee you any normal repair shop will fuck your evo up. That or get ready to buy a bunch of tools and learn how to do it right yourself like czero. Evos aren't really all that unreliable, but for the most part they are kinda cheap cars, and you get alot of dipshit kids running the fucking thing into the ground and not really putting much back into maintaining it. Keep up with your fluid changes, don't launch the fuck out of it everyday, and do the servicing at its intervals and the car probably wont have any real issues.
My two evo seems to be holding up pretty fine, no issues what so ever. Launches hard, 6 spd. Trans., making just a little under 600. ... In FROZA HORIZON 3!
adam steele the gearbox in my evo 6 gsr is the best 5 speed ever built and still is better then any other evo gearbox. Spanked Subaru all over the rally track aswell thanks to Tomi makkinen.
BTW, it was hard coming up with these issues. i love Evos and have owned mine for over a decade. Please click here for things i LIKE about the Evo th-cam.com/video/UELhRNVtw0o/w-d-xo.html Also, here is the video from 4:20 when i got pulled over. th-cam.com/video/z37GzsgGMsg/w-d-xo.html
i have been tracking the evo prices. it does dip at times but its been pretty consistent. I think it will start raising in the future like your Skylines, NSXs, etc although that may be a decade out. i dont see it depreciating anytime soon
Have you done a video on the Evo moon roof yet? There's a common issue with Evo 8&9 moon roof going bad. Perhaps you might have a solution and share it.
This video is fucking dumb,if you don't like it sell it,these videos about ''5...8...9...or 15 reasons why i don't like'' is getting really fucking annoying.
mlopezej1 I think both would but the dude in blue is more of a young audience while smoking tire is both young and older idk, either way I hope this channel gets more publicity
In my humble opinion, except if you're a dedicated drag racer, everyone who takes the wing off an Evo or Impreza deserves a slap in the face. With that being said, when I first got my STI I wasn't used to the wing in the back and I always felt like someone was following me 👀
I also have an 03 gsr and have most of the same complaints, except I like that the wing blocks the headlights, makes it so the car behind me doesnt blind me. But I feel the rally red fades like crazy too, when I got it my car was basically was pink. Also im almost 20 and have had the car for 2.5 years and never got a ticket, so im happy to say im not one of those kids who drives like a douche with an evo
i'd be curious just how much weight savings it actually is... because a Ti Exh. is going to be super light as it is. if he did a side exit with stainless steel, there's a chance its just as heavy, if not more heavy than a Ti.
I have a BBY (french blue) VII and that paint fade is quite true for the color. Repainting next month in an Audi Nogaro blue. Will see how it holds up. One other thing that's annoying especially on the AYC cars is the diff backlash when you shift hard.
subaru sti and new gtr have far mkre issues than 4g63t evos. evos two things you have to do as soon as you buy em,upgrade the clutch and transfer case then race all day..EVO FOR LIFE..
Dillon Thornton the problem is that the evo is already based on an economy car like the Camry (lancer) and things like power windows should be standard in a car made in the 00’s. Thats just lazy.
The best thing that is said in this video "I'm not into highway rolls, street racing, I go to the track" well done man, and ur reasons actually makes sense not like some other guys who say some reasons and when u hear it ull be like huh!? ,, keep up the good work coming and best of luck ,, liked and subbed
I just bought my first Evo and it's a IV. Even for a 1996 it is a blast to drive. I am coming from a R33 Skyline GTR and I want to say I like driving the Evo more!
Man very good video only 1 topic I was kinda disagree is the back seat is actually not bad for whatever reason my front seats feel really hard back seats are nice and soft sorta comfy but maybe because no one ever use it And totally agree with the gas paddle always happy there
Need advice!! Possibly getting an 09' evo GTS CVT with 200k on it for $2500. Im really desperate for help because i want to have one as my own for as long as i can remember. I dont have much which is why im looking past the mileage so please HELP!!
Insurance is actually much cheaper for the evo 8 or evo 9 in Canada because it was never sold there so they dont have much database on these cars compared to the wrx sti which are the racer boys car and most stolen car.
0KFilms from what I've heard is that if you buy a modified evo you never know if they did the job right. Any used evo will probably have some mods to it. But if you find a stock one I personally say that's better so you know what's been put into the car and how well it was put together.
It depends. A lot of times a “stock” evo was once 500+whp from my experience and the past owner just converted it back to stock so they could get the most money from the car. (Selling the modified parts for cash + stock part) also stock evos tend to run a few thousand more dollars in my area. Where as a modified one may or may not have been put together the correct way... how do you tell? Own the car for a month or two and see what weird issues start to pop up
Shawn Hacker this guy knows what he's talking about. Just cause it's stock doesn't mean it's been stick it's whole life. Both Evo's I owned were bought new (03' GSR and 06' GSR SE) and both were sold modified. I actually felt better selling them modified rather than converting them back to stock.
I own an Evo IX SE and it’s the most amazing car I’ve ever driven. Buy a Camry to daily if you want creature comforts otherwise get the sand out of your vagina and have fun with your Evo!
Issue 11 is not an issue tho.. That’s the fun part of this car!And yeah the turning circle really sucks tho..LOLLoving every single moment with my evo!
Your accent is very charming my man. (No homo) Asians are awesome. In my experience they tend to be polite, disciplined, and stay on the grind financially. I live in NY now but I’m from South Louisiana. Louisiana is not very diverse. It’s almost 50/50 white and black. But there is a small Mexican community and Vietnamese. All my Vietnamese friends have done so well for themselves in life. They all had badass cars and a nice brick house by 25. Well by 25 they were in their like 5th really nice vehicle, first one by the age of 19. They all have new Lexus, Infiniti, or an older 90’s legendary JDM car like a RX7 or Evo. I should have done like my best friend and married a Vietnamese girl. No I just had to go Italian.🤦🏻♂️ My boy that married the Vietnamese girl, her family had a nail salon. He told me at the end of everyday, they bring a literal big bag of cash to the bank. Well I just shared a ton of weirdly personal unnecessary info LOL. Anyways keep killing it Asians. I’m sorry about the recent attack/mass shooting that happened against the Asian community. Much love✌🏼
i actually love the interior of the evo's its just so simple and the seats are incredible! I daily my evo 7 and have driven to california multiple times in it zero issues, minus some speeding tickets LOL
Another prevalent issue with the Evos' are their garbage hydraulic valve lifters. They come from factory with terribly small bleed holes. Instead of Mitsubishi taking responsibility and recalling them, they alternatively brought out 3 generations of revised lifters which you can purchase at an exorbitant fee. I have owned my Evo 8 GSR for nearly a year and I've already ran into this problem with only 62,000kms on the clock, which is truly disappointing. I've had them replaced since for an inordinate fee.
My Friend, if you can't control your self when you're drive the Evo....that's a particular mentally problem ? Hahahahhaha You the Driver you the master of The machine, when you don't understand that ....it is wery dangerous!!!!
Cruise control? Are you serious ???? This along with your other comments are just stupid. Let's just remember why we have the Evo on the road - homologated rules. If you don't like Evo's why dafuq have you got 3?
And actually the SST in the EvoX is not Automatic,it has no torque converter,it's a wet clutch system electronically control clutch 😂 without clutch pedal.
DK really chilled out since Tokyo Drift
He even went to the usa to become a nurse
would have been funnier if you said Han.
@@DiegoDominik Han was always a chill ass dude tho
I always wondered why you ran wingless my guy.... Now I know
I have been waiting for this video! Thank you.
Used values for the Evo's are still pretty high up around here in NorCal though. Can't even find one for under $17k regardless of the mileage here
Verik yeah man this goes for all performance cars across the states the prices vary heavily. For example when i was stationed in Tennessee i could find low mileage stock evos going for 20k or less this one evo 8 i found had 52k miles stock everything going for 15k a fucking steal for that price also found an sti that was absolutely beautiful with tasteful mods going for 14k with only 55k miles!!!!
CLV$$Y saw an evo 9 just bolt ons and a tune running 350whp with 61k miles for 12k here in Southern California
B M hell yeah man some people sell their shit for fair prices man, its kind off ass backwards now a days, all the heavily modified shit goes for astronomical value but the mostly stock shit is being sold for dirt cheap. One example was again when i was living in Tennessee there were 2 beautiful FD RX7’s on sale on craigslist one was stock for the most part with a freshly rebuilt motor going for like 15-16k and a ls swaped fd with higher miles on the body going for 30k. I remember just a few years ago modified cars were being sold for way less than their stock counterparts in the same condition and thats how it should’ve stayed but i guess its just the new norm now to make you money back on the mods
Just like the Subie situation here out east. Even shitty modded ones go for at least $12k.
Verik I’m from NorCal I see clean ones going from 15-20k all the time low mile 8-9
One reason why I think Evo's are underrated is because people seem not to understand the concept of a tuner car. Evo is one of the best blank-canvas cars for tuning (with STI and GTR), as a stock one sucks a lot but they are relatively easy to adjust to driver's preferences
I live right down the road from where you were pulled over. I love flying through the "tunnels" haha
Evo is still the dream car, around here 8 and 9 are still over 20 grand with any amount of miles, probably just gonna have to get an evo x, till then my speed 3 will do just fine
That dog was lucky
I scrolled through the comments just to see if anyone else noticed that haha
He died later after attempting the same stunt.

All fair comments there. There are a lot lot lot more positives though.
I’ve had one for over 10 years and it never gets boring !

Same with the Sti the wing is at the very top of the mirror so it doesnt block any of your view.
All great points, but like you said, these cars are too much fun! I love my Evo to death!

I'd like to see a video comparing this model Evo to the newer model Evo.
"cops may appear closer due to wing removal..."😆😆🤣🤣
Well, idc if the Evo has a ton of problems. Its my dream car. But I prefer the IV over all.
Only driven a few of these but can agree with most with them.
There's always a kid in a v6 challenger trying to race🤣
Bad turning radius is normal thing for continuous four wheel drive cars. Celica gt4, subaru impreza and evo...
Hey... I'm nearly there. buying my own Evo 9... the question is. I live in Germany and we Have the Autobahn. Is it intelligent to buy and MR or should I stick to a 5 speed? I want to daily it but also reck some supercars in my area. I thought about 500WHP.

This sounds like 11 reason why I love my Evo X
I love crank windows. I’m sold.
1000 times more reliable than my 97 chevy 4.3 vortec v6 I would trade for an evo with everything wrong and it would be better than what I have now
Well nothing was very convincing to me except the insurance. Love Evo.

The 11 one is a reason to get one xD
Am I the only one who looked at the title and thought a new evo 11 came out lol 😂
Evo is not made for a u turn,
ITS A RALLY CAR OF COURSE,
There are just way to many friction on the wheels for mud not for cement
do you know where i can buy a evo 9 2006 gsr model im in south afrika and they werent made here :( been looking for over 3 years
8:00 This!!! Probably the worst thing about owning an Evo

I have to do a 3 point turn a lot more than i would like. I guess if you plan on making power, the tranny's, especially the 6MT is pretty weak, but i had English rebuild mine and now its solid! The interior is pretty average, but i have an SSL model, and i love the leather interior!
what i think is far more important to know is the common issues that these Evos have.
I wouldnt let any of these problems stop you from buying one of these awesome cars, but If you DO buy an Evo 8/9, these are the top things to check out ASAP after you buy it.
1)
*PROBLEM: Ignition Switch malfunction.
*SYMPTOMS: Car is hard to start. Sometimes takes a few minutes to get it to turn over.
*FIX: Take the column covers off and tighten the screws on the switch located on the left side. If this doesnt fix it, u'll need to replace the switch
*TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 10-20min
2)
*PROBLEM: Key Switch Reminder short
*SYMPTOMS: Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep even when the keys are out of the ignition. Key FOB wont work
*FIX. Take column covers off and remove the little white box right behind the ignition. Either replace the entire harness with ignition keyring light & reminder, or you can just delete that function all together by connecting the 2 green wires that go to the reminder switch, & the car will always think the keys are out.
*TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 10-20min
3)
*PROBLEM: (If you have a Sunroof) Sunroof stops working because the screws that hold the motor to the roof come loose.
*SYMPTOMS: Broken Sunroof
*FIX: Remove the headliner to access the sunroof motor, find the loose screws. Manually push the sunroof to the fully open position. push the open button so the motor goes to the open position. Screw the motor back up and make sure to use loctite this time.
*TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 30min to an hour depending on how familiar you are with removing the headliner.
4)
*PROBLEM: Water corroding the lower Drivers side harness(This was definitely the most serious issue ive had)
*SYMPTOMS: Lights not turning Off, Wipers going Crazy, Car not turning off....Pretty much all accessories go haywire. What happens is water gets through the fender grommet on the drivers side and drips down the harness wires and rests in the connectors behind the kick panel under the dash and corrodes all the wires.
*FIX: Basically rewiring two of the connectors(about 20 wires). It only looks like a few wires are effected at first glance, but 99% of the time they all need to be rewired. All 3 wires in the black connector, and all wires in the white connector located above the black one. Hard wiring with solder is the best way to fix, but waterproof heat shrinking solder connectors work well. Make sure to seal the grommet w/ silicone & use a lot of dielectric grease on all the new connections.
*TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 1-2Hrs depending on method
5)
PROBLEM: Power Window wont work
SYMPTOMS: Power window regulator cable breaks, causing the window to not work.
FIX: You can buy just the regulator w/o motor and replace that.
TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: About 45 min
6)
*PROBLEM: Fuel Tank Lid broken
*SYMPTOMS: Fuel Tank Lid wont Pop
*FIX: Replace the missing Spring
*TIME IT TOOK TO FIX: 5min
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE
Evol_AF lol i had almost all the problems. ..+acd pump failure th-cam.com/video/ZrYjQat4KGE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
Haha the turning circle isn't great... people always look at me like i'm an idiot. Also, fuel consumption in combination with a small tank is an issue... Only manage 2-3 laps of the Nurburgring to a tank. Still fucking love her though!
for the turning radius LOL same here, there was a very tight u-turn section when i go to my university and i can't avoid that place. all the cars went through there smoothly except those big truck or pick-ups. and me, with my evo have to roll it back once and complete that turn, people r looking at me like "dude, can u actually drive?" LOL
TLG-Games watch Chris fix turn radius vid
all that matters. i'm about that subie life, but i respect your love for your car!
Depends how much you're willing to spend. Most important part of buying an evo is making sure you have a shop locally that knows how to work on it since i can almost guarantee you any normal repair shop will fuck your evo up. That or get ready to buy a bunch of tools and learn how to do it right yourself like czero. Evos aren't really all that unreliable, but for the most part they are kinda cheap cars, and you get alot of dipshit kids running the fucking thing into the ground and not really putting much back into maintaining it. Keep up with your fluid changes, don't launch the fuck out of it everyday, and do the servicing at its intervals and the car probably wont have any real issues.
TLG-Games maybe a little negative camber in the front?
This channel is too underrated
facts
right
HECTOR A ASTACIO-OCASIO I've been subscribed for years since before the green rims
HECTOR A ASTACIO-OCASIO the best ones usually are
Well that made me want an evo even more. I want a pure race car, this seems like it.
absolutely he is taking it tooo bad..
Buy a civic
I got pulled over in my evo x cause i couldnt see the cop behind me because of my spoiler smh
wing delete?
Josue Aguilar rookie.
It happens, beautiful wing tho so no deleting that bad boy
*1 reason why i love EVO*
*It's an EVO*
My two evo seems to be holding up pretty fine, no issues what so ever. Launches hard, 6 spd. Trans., making just a little under 600.
... In FROZA HORIZON 3!
WhiTeFA1R hahahahahahah
😂😂
Forza
I feel like those are reasons why you LIKE the evo lol
lol well it is a love and hate relationship
I don’t think anyone LIKES crappy interiors lol
I own a Subaru so hearing that an evo needs the 5 speed over the 6 speed is confusing the hell out of me bwahaha
adam steele the gearbox in my evo 6 gsr is the best 5 speed ever built and still is better then any other evo gearbox. Spanked Subaru all over the rally track aswell thanks to Tomi makkinen.
Same
Isn’t the 5 speed trans stronger than the 6 speed? Thought i heard that on forums. 🤔
Jesse Budelman it is.
Jesse Budelman yes but on a subaru the sti 6 speed is bulletproof
I hear him say cock magnet instead of cop magnet 😂😂this guy is acc a legend he blessed us with his evo and crazy cars
Freudian slip?
BTW, it was hard coming up with these issues. i love Evos and have owned mine for over a decade.
Please click here for things i LIKE about the Evo

Also, here is the video from 4:20 when i got pulled over. th-cam.com/video/z37GzsgGMsg/w-d-xo.html
i have been tracking the evo prices. it does dip at times but its been pretty consistent. I think it will start raising in the future like your Skylines, NSXs, etc although that may be a decade out. i dont see it depreciating anytime soon
CZeroMedia are u from czechia ?
Have you done a video on the Evo moon roof yet? There's a common issue with Evo 8&9 moon roof going bad. Perhaps you might have a solution and share it.
Oh, one can wait when they are old insurance would cheap & elderly discount then buy a EVO as classic historic car. You'll be a cool grandpa. haha
This video is fucking dumb,if you don't like it sell it,these videos about ''5...8...9...or 15 reasons why i don't like'' is getting really fucking annoying.
You should get the evo review by that dude in blue
mlopezej1 nah the smoking tire
Tony Condor the smoking tire is cool channel but that dude in blue will help this channel blow up
ha ha ha
mlopezej1 I think both would but the dude in blue is more of a young audience while smoking tire is both young and older idk, either way I hope this channel gets more publicity
Both
I own Evo x and 911 turbo. And that's my 3rd evo. I love both cars. And I love evos. Very functional when you have a kid. Cheers. Good video.
good choice of cars ;)
CZeroMedia thanks. I will check your site I need few parts for the X
wife wont let the kids in my evo lol
So true. It's a sports car that's practical. That's one of the things I love about these cars.
DailyDrivenTurbo I agree. Evo is a great car with children
In my humble opinion, except if you're a dedicated drag racer, everyone who takes the wing off an Evo or Impreza deserves a slap in the face. With that being said, when I first got my STI I wasn't used to the wing in the back and I always felt like someone was following me 👀
my 9 RS never came with a wing, so i get a pass (i hope) lol
I also have an 03 gsr and have most of the same complaints, except I like that the wing blocks the headlights, makes it so the car behind me doesnt blind me. But I feel the rally red fades like crazy too, when I got it my car was basically was pink. Also im almost 20 and have had the car for 2.5 years and never got a ticket, so im happy to say im not one of those kids who drives like a douche with an evo
I think the side exit is cool but why did you go that over the nice titanium exhaust you had on previously.
Because Racecar i mean your name ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^pretty much answers that
Because racecar
i'd be curious just how much weight savings it actually is... because a Ti Exh. is going to be super light as it is. if he did a side exit with stainless steel, there's a chance its just as heavy, if not more heavy than a Ti.
Street Lethal Garage the ultimate weight saving would be hood exit exhaust and waste gate dump
well obviously less material is gonna weigh less lol. (when we're talking THAT much removed material anyway) dont want to contradict myself lol
I have a BBY (french blue) VII and that paint fade is quite true for the color. Repainting next month in an Audi Nogaro blue. Will see how it holds up. One other thing that's annoying especially on the AYC cars is the diff backlash when you shift hard.
Raoul Yeates nogaro blue... u have great taste homie. Love me some noggy
Cruise control in a evo😂 LMAO its not a Mercedes😂 its a 4WD rallycar with plates😂
Johann Rasmussen
its a street car dumbass
Umm, STI's for example had cruise controls from factory.
my GSX has cruise control and it kicks the boost on violently
I've got an aftermarket unit in my Evo haha. It's helped during my long road trips from NC to MI!
AWD..4WD IS NOT THE SAME.
subaru sti and new gtr have far mkre issues than 4g63t evos. evos two things you have to do as soon as you buy em,upgrade the clutch and transfer case then race all day..EVO FOR LIFE..
None of these are issues, it's a race car.
Go buy a Camry if you want power windows and cruise control.
Dillon Thornton the problem is that the evo is already based on an economy car like the Camry (lancer) and things like power windows should be standard in a car made in the 00’s. Thats just lazy.
More EVO VIDEOS PLEASE
Maybe some How-To's
The best thing that is said in this video "I'm not into highway rolls, street racing, I go to the track" well done man, and ur reasons actually makes sense not like some other guys who say some reasons and when u hear it ull be like huh!? ,, keep up the good work coming and best of luck ,, liked and subbed
I just bought my first Evo and it's a IV. Even for a 1996 it is a blast to drive. I am coming from a R33 Skyline GTR and I want to say I like driving the Evo more!
Didn't expect to see you here!
Your like my favorite channel I love your videos Ishin!
thanks for the love man!!
Great video man glad your honest.. thanks for letting me know ..but still I will buy this dream car
l love an evo all of my heart it's the best JDM lol
Man very good video only 1 topic I was kinda disagree is the back seat is actually not bad for whatever reason my front seats feel really hard back seats are nice and soft sorta comfy but maybe because no one ever use it
And totally agree with the gas paddle always happy there
125 a month full coverage with Gieco. That's pretty cheap to me. Lol
I wish mine was that much he just live ina good state cause NY is about 300 plus a month with geico for my evo x
Need advice!! Possibly getting an 09' evo GTS CVT with 200k on it for $2500. Im really desperate for help because i want to have one as my own for as long as i can remember. I dont have much which is why im looking past the mileage so please HELP!!
Insurance is actually much cheaper for the evo 8 or evo 9 in Canada because it was never sold there so they dont have much database on these cars compared to the wrx sti which are the racer boys car and most stolen car.
Yes! as much as I enjoy your other videos, Evo videos are #1.
Topic suggestion - Is it better to buy a Stock Evo or Modified Evo
0KFilms from what I've heard is that if you buy a modified evo you never know if they did the job right. Any used evo will probably have some mods to it. But if you find a stock one I personally say that's better so you know what's been put into the car and how well it was put together.
jonathan camilo I second that, it goes for any car really
It depends. A lot of times a “stock” evo was once 500+whp from my experience and the past owner just converted it back to stock so they could get the most money from the car. (Selling the modified parts for cash + stock part) also stock evos tend to run a few thousand more dollars in my area. Where as a modified one may or may not have been put together the correct way... how do you tell? Own the car for a month or two and see what weird issues start to pop up
Shawn Hacker this guy knows what he's talking about. Just cause it's stock doesn't mean it's been stick it's whole life. Both Evo's I owned were bought new (03' GSR and 06' GSR SE) and both were sold modified. I actually felt better selling them modified rather than converting them back to stock.
good luck finding a stock evo that is gona be up in the supra price range
I own an Evo IX SE and it’s the most amazing car I’ve ever driven. Buy a Camry to daily if you want creature comforts otherwise get the sand out of your vagina and have fun with your Evo!
Issue 11 is not an issue tho.. That’s the fun part of this car!And yeah the turning circle really sucks tho..LOLLoving every single moment with my evo!
Your accent is very charming my man. (No homo)
Asians are awesome. In my experience they tend to be polite, disciplined, and stay on the grind financially. I live in NY now but I’m from South Louisiana. Louisiana is not very diverse. It’s almost 50/50 white and black. But there is a small Mexican community and Vietnamese. All my Vietnamese friends have done so well for themselves in life. They all had badass cars and a nice brick house by 25. Well by 25 they were in their like 5th really nice vehicle, first one by the age of 19. They all have new Lexus, Infiniti, or an older 90’s legendary JDM car like a RX7 or Evo. I should have done like my best friend and married a Vietnamese girl. No I just had to go Italian.🤦🏻♂️
My boy that married the Vietnamese girl, her family had a nail salon. He told me at the end of everyday, they bring a literal big bag of cash to the bank.
Well I just shared a ton of weirdly personal unnecessary info LOL.
Anyways keep killing it Asians. I’m sorry about the recent attack/mass shooting that happened against the Asian community. Much love✌🏼
To the 5spd comment. Unless you have one of 20 built shep 6 speeds, which I do. hahaha
i actually love the interior of the evo's its just so simple and the seats are incredible! I daily my evo 7 and have driven to california multiple times in it zero issues, minus some speeding tickets LOL
Another prevalent issue with the Evos' are their garbage hydraulic valve lifters. They come from factory with terribly small bleed holes. Instead of Mitsubishi taking responsibility and recalling them, they alternatively brought out 3 generations of revised lifters which you can purchase at an exorbitant fee. I have owned my Evo 8 GSR for nearly a year and I've already ran into this problem with only 62,000kms on the clock, which is truly disappointing. I've had them replaced since for an inordinate fee.
My Friend, if you can't control your self when you're drive the Evo....that's a particular mentally problem ? Hahahahhaha
You the Driver you the master of The machine, when you don't understand that ....it is wery dangerous!!!!
Cruise control? Are you serious ????
This along with your other comments are just stupid.
Let's just remember why we have the Evo on the road - homologated rules.
If you don't like Evo's why dafuq have you got 3?
And actually the SST in the EvoX is not Automatic,it has no torque converter,it's a wet clutch system electronically control clutch 😂 without clutch pedal.
