Lancer Evolution should be on UNESCO list, same as entire Japan. Evos must be turning back in their graves seeing current Mitsubishis are just poorly rebadged Renaults.

@@SI0AX Of course, afair, we've seen that with a few recent stock Type-Rs. But, to be fair, that engine-melting uphill section is probably longer than your average trackday circuit.
@@DoNuT_1985 Yeah, it's way more extreme. Some cars do better then others but one notorious car for oil issues even on autocross events is the Nissan Z cars. Many people mistake the water temperature and get a larger race radiator only to realize the oil was the issue.
Because with Evo you basically get an overbuilt rally car for the street already with a big rad, oil cooler and a massive power potential but with a cheapo interior thats loud inside and sometimes creaks. Modern sports cars are becoming the opposite.
@@Andreasy2 that’s ridiculous they just copied my exact message! Anyways, I’ve got some videos up of my car on my channel which they definitely can’t copy haha
It’s almost 2025 and these mitsubishi makes same brakes noises and still got that AWD stability fantastic product. The only downside is fuel quality these days which makes these old gems marginally slower
dude is brave using A052 tires ha ha. those are basically 1 lap wonder tires. we use those for autocross due to how fast they warm up, but switch to different tires for track use.
As a old Mitsubishi's owner , I liked to see Misha using the EVO manual phrase "In case of doubt ,floor it" . I was surprised for the electronic problem, it's a after market ECU ?
@@f4rensabri oh , I missed that , I was surely looking at the car 😅. I was surprised that a "old school" Mitsubishi ECU was failing after a few minutes of real driving 😆, so everything is explained 🙃
The reason it's not so popular is because it's significantly weaker. The 5 speed can handle above 1,000 WHP with just an upgraded clutch. The 6th speed will break at around 500WHP on something. For a light bolt on stock internal engine it's fine, but for serious power, people end up swapping out to a 5 speed.
@@leepicgaymer5464 The reason the 6 speed is weaker is due to the fact that they are cramming an extra gear into the same housing as the 5 speed. This means that each gear has to be made thinner along with the input shaft and bearings. Even the front differential is weaker. You would have to get billet steel gears and input shaft, upgraded bearings and an aftermarket racing LSD to get it on par with the 5 spued setup. Maybe even add cryotreatment to the transmission on top. It would be cheaper to modify the gear set in the 5 speed to be closer for better acceleration at the cost of fuel economy. I would just not go the extreme route with the 6 speed. Just stick to keeping the engine internally stock. Forged engine internals don't even last long. A stock internal engine EVO can last up to 250,000 miles without a rebuild if proper oil changes are done whereas a forged engine internal will struggle to get past 40,000 miles.
@@SI0AX everyone knows that the 5 speed can handle stress better than the 6 speed. That doesn’t take away the fact that the 6 speed is superior in terms of gear spacing, which is what I was talking about in my original comment.
@@nnr3 Yeah, more gears is always better. 5 speeds have always had pretty uneven spacing. It's like they decided to do in right with the 6 speed+ manuals and Autos
Absolutely loved the lap with the EVO 9! The Nürburgring always brings out the best in these JDM legends. Amazing driving and commentary, Misha! Keep up the awesome content, and thanks to @pep_evo9 for the insane run!
Ah! Evolution there very good, mine is a VI KW clubsport on Alcons brakes and Yokohama ADO8 the last of the old type and on a Ti HKS Kai2 turbo kit long rod 2.0 Ltr Link ECU.
Wanted an Evo VIII so bad since they launched in the US! I mean, I wasn’t driving yet but a 12-13yo could dream! Got a 2004 WRX in 2011 and immediately wished I got an Evo or NA Supra MKIV instead just paid little more, blew enough engines that both would’ve ultimately been far cheaper 😂 Heck even an FD RX-7, coulda shoulda woulda, I assume prices have skyrocketed as they have for everything (another mistake, selling my AP1 S2000, these modern prices disgust me glad I hung onto my NA6 Miata cause somehow even those are not worth the $ any longer!)
Definitely harder suspension needed,bouncing around but moving still n gearbox is geared nicely 👌 n power is very good 👍. We all comment like we are Misha 😅
I had found a super clean evo 9 for a good deal a few years ago and i didnt pull the trigger on it and i still regret it to this day. But i will have a r32 gtr in my future
Misha big fan of you , one advice for even better results when recording , you can buy a CPL lens filter to eliminate the reflection of the can interior in the front window , you will thanks me later ;]
I think he tactically chose to cool down on the hill as that’s where most cars begin to overheat and it ruins the next part of fast corners having to wait on cool down, where the evo would’ve been incredible through. (Which it was)
Question would you try to race on an american race track it would be really fun to watch you learn new track and be agressive in them much love from Puerto Rico brother started watching your videos this year and since then i think i have watched at least 80% of your videos😂 you sir are a genius behind the wheel
what was that strange sound, tyres scrubbing? seemed like it was trying to climb off of the rims... don't think the tyres should of been any softer lol... Unbelievable grip levels.
Saw an evo 1 abandoned with a pile of trash on top of it. Considering how popular it is in malaysia, I'm just shocked to see what looks like a mint condition but dirty as hell evo. Saw it while we was passing by a tiny village in a middle of nowhere while on a road trip so it kinda make sense why it's still abandoned
7:30 Pac Man xD
I heard that sound too and knew it was from a computer game of the past 😅 couldnt remember which one thanks
So that's how the pacman sound was born.
WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA
Literally just heard and was about to say the same 🤣
LMFAO
(x) tarmac
( ) gravel
( ) snow
This car is so goated lol
I can hear the background SFX, hydraulics and hammering.
truly a rally car for the road. AYC and ACD were revolutionary if you can get used to it.
and if your ACD dies, you get a magic light for all 3 :D
Bought my evo ix in 2010. 14 years and 150k miles later, still my favorite car
2006 original owner, 73k miles.. e85 tuned.
So am I. But mine have slightly less miles...😅
Got my 8mr in 2011...won't get rid of it.
dude I want an evo since im born, my parents have a mitsu brand cars dealers, I dont give a shi about a lambo or a gt3rs, just give me an evo
Lancer Evolution should be on UNESCO list, same as entire Japan. Evos must be turning back in their graves seeing current Mitsubishis are just poorly rebadged Renaults.
its shit
As a massive fan of Evo 8 and 9 and Mazda RX 7 FD3s, I think both should.

Best comment to this video 👍👍👍👍
My older bros Evo 8 many years ago got younger me into cars. The stututu was a sound I strive for to this day. Evos are legendary.
I had an Evo 9 MR, should have never sold it, was the best car I've ever owned. It was phoenix red
This and an RX7 FD3s is all I need on my driveway.
would love to own a completely stock one, with the lovely BBS Wheels
Saw one the other day and I haven't seen one in so long! Instantly fell back in love with it
@@japanluv I had a janky FD3 with glass top, turbo was blown, ran rough, very short turning radius. Other than being very unreliable it was also a blast
Came for the Evo 9, stayed for the Ed, Edd n Eddy socks!
Always loved these cars. Thanks for sharing the drive!
Ahah, the famous question :"6th?" remember the time it was almost a money shift xD
"just making sure"
The tire rubbing going through Karussel sounded like the Pacman noise WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA 7:27
It did sound like PACMAN
Driving evo's more than 15 years, have 9 and x. Rally, curcuit, hill climb...built engine in 2012, still don't consume oil...
1 more thing, I raced on it more than 1000 times, it is unkillleble...
nice driving I subscribed. head cam videos are always cool. Evo for life 🙏

Thank you!!!
I’m a simple man, when I see an Evo I click.
Nothing gives you a better sensation of power than old school JDM. ❤
Evos are mind blowing.. they feel SO light, so agile, so good.. I drove an Evo 8 and I fel in love
Love Evos, full gas, no temp problems, 100% quality, best car ever
Well, it actually had temperature issue from what I could understand.

one of the very few AWDs that Wants to go through (tarmac) corners ^^
7:30 sound like Pacman xD
haha I can't unhear it now
😂😂😂😇
Best comment on the internet this week. Dying, fair play!
One of the few AWD cars that can also corner well!
Evo 1: 🗿

It’s almost 2025 and these mitsubishi makes same brakes noises and still got that AWD stability fantastic product. The only downside is fuel quality these days which makes these old gems marginally slower
wtf ??? fuel quality got better over the years ..
At least in EU. And in the US u go for E85 anyway
Going slow through Hohe Acht is so painful to me. I love that corner, I wouldn't have been able to hold it together at the Karusell's exit lol.
Have a evo 6 GSR myself and it is a back road monster 😎😎💪🏼
dude is brave using A052 tires ha ha.
those are basically 1 lap wonder tires.

I did 3 laps in a row with the a052 and had no problems with them
pretty common popular tire nowdays for anything
Another Evo 9! Yesss keep it up Misha i love it! that's my favourite Evo!
2:12 the smile on the owners face when his car passes that E46 M3 :D
typical evo owner getting happy when it starts to get rowdy🤣

Used to be one of my dream cars. These cars are so much fun to drive.
1:39 gotta do a lap in a giulia once misha! you will love it🍀❤
Missed this one but Jesus these JDM videos are sweet
find a car that driven so smooth and comfy in corners, you`ll not i guess. always in my heart

I have always had a soft spot for the evo,
I have been waiting for this for so long
First car ever to sound like Pacman in the Carroussel... 🤣🤣
The legendary Evo car was not evaluated correctly at first, but days have proven that it is at the top of the list as the best car.
iv seen some of those cars push the rev up to the SNOW LED lmao, they are awsome
7:44 Face and OPS wrong gear 😂 Nice video and nice car👍
Have no fear the tires/fenders/wheel well liner will all self clearance
10:48 Citroen CX on the track 🤔
I also took mine there on sunday. Such nice cars, they dont make it like this anymore.
Love the confirmation ask if there's a 6th gear, and not reverse. Lesson learned from a previous drive. Hahaha
Beautiful rotation in the 3rd corner (counting backwards)
every 3rd car on this channel rubs the wheel arches, is that the current meta?
You should get some matt black pad to put in front of the camera to eliminate dashboard reflections from the windshield
It's hard to hear the noises of tyre and suspension tbh ) but damn it's fast
The grip is incredible
Omg, finally an evo ❤

Getting a rare sight these days. I’ve done six trackdays this summer. Not a single evo.

What happened about 6 mins in? The cool down thing? 😮😢 Evo is always good ❤
That's what I would like to know too.
probably super hot day and he didn't feel like stressing the car on the uphill
I think he tactically chose to cool down on the hill as that’s where most cars begin to overheat and it ruins the next part of fast corners having to wait on cool down, where the evo would’ve been incredible through. (Which it was)
Sounded like the owner said "detonation" like high IATs were causing misfires so they chilled out to recover from heat soak
Ecu started pulling timing due to hot intake.
