For this video, we go save my good friend Ron who recently purchased a Mitsubishi Evo 8- we were all excited but worried about it since it was "already built" and we weren't sure about what parts were on it. With no surprise little issues arose and Ron broke down. We will continue showing off this evo in the future to show what happens! Thanks for watching!

Stay awesome. Drift into blue squad and subscribe!
Thanks for watching guys! Of course this isn't the case for every Evo, and they are still fun. Stay awesome!
ThatDudeinBlue I probably would still own an Evo over a WRX though, but not a 22b though, they are amazing
ThatDudeinBlue the good in evo is bara wrx
ThatDudeinBlue You pointed at the turbo manifold and said intake manifold 😂😂😂
Boosted Montana the turbo manifold intake and the manifold are the same because the turbo sucks in air through the intake manifold
+Sebastian Ignacio The turbo sucks in air from the intake manifold does it??
Build it right. Once. Stick to your hp goals and beat the shit out of slightly under the limit while maintaining the car correctly. I now track my fully built Evo I used to daily from 8 years ago. Same built block. Same goddamn setup. Too many people build car piece by piece with shady ass parts. That's mostly your problem.
+1
people either skimp on parts of the build due to not wanting to spend heaps but then also want max hp or they just skimp on the whole parts list and expect more power than possible without the motor going out on them
they also don't see why chasing numbers will end in rebuild after rebuild
CZeroMedia you will have the evo in your drive way soon homie 🤘🏽 it's ron BTW lol
Agreed! When these cars have problems, it's usually a result of something that the owner did. Mods that aren't done correctly or shitty driving. The weak point in these cars are the transfer case which is why the mechanic stated he would get these in the shop all the time with burnt clutches. It's just a result from bad driving when launching the car. That's why I bought mine bone stock because you never know how much of a beating the last guy put on the car.
Finally someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
CZeroMedia how do you think the stock evo 7 would fair as a daily driver
Gets into an evo, immediately proceeds to have a good time pull after pull, then talks about why they suck and why he doesn't own one. I see more serious issues here.
Well said. I don’t want to be too mean. He may very well read this, but the dude recording was annoying. Wayyyy too goofy for me. I’m 31. I love jokes and comedy, but he was annoying.
He's a Subaru guy I'm sure
When you call the exhaust manifold the intake manifold @10:39 ;)
That's when I stopped watching
I need to watch it twice to understand the greatness of that stupidity
Jager Meister he pays people to mod his cars he has very limited mechanical knowledge.
Didn't even click when he said that. I knew he meant exhaust manifold anyway. Easy enough thing to do
EITHER WAY IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW THE WELDS.
Im Kinda butt hurt about the mockery of the evo but u still were grinning from ear to ear while driving jasmine,black barney, and the white evo x. Smh. But like u said u try to drive a 240 and it doesnt work either. Most evos will and have walked most vehicles on the road. But definitely gave u a view
If you hacks would just order the $25 metal clip that holds the sensor harness, the amount of "breakdowns" would have been greatly reduced.
Don't see how a loose MAF sensor plug is a catastrophic failure. Also, electrical tape would work better to hold that in place until you can replace the connection. Looks like a nice Evo.
LOL called the exhaust an intake haha
People crap on the SRT4's a lot too, But they are also good cars if you don't abuse them, and you properly maintain them. I went through my SRT4, fixed everything I could find, and it has been good to me since.
lol, this videos length is 1320
It's a conspiracy
Sebastian Ignacio the U.S. CIA created the term "conspiracy theory" to label and control our way of thinking. Much like everything in our life. There's a reason why they call it "The American Dream". The truth is stranger than fiction.
Just Zach Get a life lol
Nate Mora You should think about the world you live in. Peace bro.
"I'm 14 and this is deep" xD
Why i don't own a mitsubishi evo. Video length is 13.20.
I see what you getting at
lol right
117,000 miles on my modified 08 Evo X with zero problems and usually drive it somewhat hard on weekends for fun and hasn't let me down once. Also, it's not the car's fault that whoever worked on it and broke that metal clip off.
u pointed to the exhaust manifold and said intake?
I have 650hp on my Evo and had it for around 4 years and never once has it broke down, it's raced the streets of willow over 200 times. Someone messed something up and the car is very easy to work on. This video cracks me up. Evo's are amazing and far better then anything out there in it's price range
well he was driving without a seatbelt till 2:35
Ignas Kerušauskas yeah he just really wants to get sent through the window when they crash. can't help autism, wear a belt or get thrown through your window doesn't seem like a hard choice to me.
Yolo
I Am Sekou His point is it's hard to take advise from someone telling Evo drivers they neglect to take care of their car when he can't take the proper precautions himself
Y'all the types of guy's to wear a seatbelt on the toilet because you know... just in case.
Mike Morris straight outta South Park
They say don't meet your heros, I bought a evo just over 6 months ago and I'm actually worried when it's running good because that just means something bad is gonna happen soon, it's been into the shop more times than I can count in this last half a year... I actually don't know how many times but it's over 10. But god is it fun when it's not falling apart.
You live near me and you say you've never driven a pump gas one. You're more than welcome to come drive my evo. Built head with cams, bolt ons, fuel upgrades, stage 2 clutch, light weight flywheel. Pretty damn reasonable daily driver.
It's the owners that don't maintain their cars, Mitsubishi are fine. Out of a 1999 eclipse, 2003 eclipse, 2008 eclipse, 2015 Lance and a 2016 outlander the total cost of repairs across all of them was $38 for a thermostat on the 99 eclipse and a motor mount for the 03.
I lost that clip on an SR20 powered Nissan years ago. You can make one with a paperclip and it's just like New. And less hood than a zip tie
Why does he have a shirt that says " I want " in Greek ?
ivcars003 ikr
critical thinking that hard?
There is no problem with any car as long as you know how to take car of the specifics. like some people here have said, its the owners. If you want to tune the car, find out what the limits are. All cars have different weak points. And not all sports cars need to be tuned or modified to be enjoyed. Drive it stock, light tune it. Get to know the car as the engineers designed it for. Maybe you can enjoy it more. Don't expect too much thinking you need to drag race everthing at the lights or whatever hooning you do. It's also a matter of age and maturity too. Young guys just think they NEED to modify everything. You don't.
evos are awesome, but to enjoy them this is what you have to do:
1st buy a car lift and all tools necessary.
2nd befriend a machinest at you local machine shop.
3rd train yourself to go without food for a while.
same for eclipses, talons and lasers.
Well you can barely take off a bumper from the 240 while a JZ motor is being worked on in the background. We know why.
My brother had an issue with the cam position sensor plug partly coming off due to a missing metal clip. The car basically died on him at a freeway ramp and wouldn't start. I checked every single fuse and relay before I got an idea to check that connector lol.
The locations in the video were looking awfully familiar but I couldn't pick out where you were until the moment you drove by my workplace.
as an ex tme evo 6 owner I love the fact that you Americans cam now get Evos.
but they're designed as back road rally cars not straight road dragsters.
they're shaped like a house brick is a good clue! yes you can make them go fast in a straight line but that's not actually the point of the car.
if you want to see what they're actually made for Google 'circuit of ireland' or 'rac rally'. wish I still had my mak btw - I'd be rich! 👍🏻
I've had 26 Mitsubishi cars. Never had a problem with one. Give me an EVO any day over some those over rated American tanks we seem to now get in Australia. Currently I have a Rallyart and a basic Lancer. Great great cars.
The 4g63 was the best four cylinder engine ever created‼️💯 Bar none‼️😤 People just get too carried away with them most of the time...
i liked your comment cause it's so stupid that its funny :D Are you actually serious?
gotta mention the k20 tho
Don't forget cradle walk
That is true about the emblem. The Zero was 3 blade prop plane.
Its cute how many sub 300whp evo owners are in the comments claiming theyve never had issues.. I mean i would hope they wouldnt just break down stock. A light bolt on pump gas evo is a little different than the fully built evos these guys all have. Building high power cars is always a game of figuring out the weakest link and upgrading it. Well in evo's that game is a lot harder, considering the drivetrain is like glass and the 4g internals are like plaster.
Hey bro, I bought a Evo VII with around 100,000 KM's and had alot of mods quite a bit of work done. Did 80,000 KM's no issue. (Except I had do do clutch). They are very reliable; I guess its dependent on the previous people who owned it.
I always thought that the mitsubishi logo was their Machining Lathe inserts. I work in a machine shop and if you look at lathe inserts they are identical.
5:18 that dab is lit
My buddy spent months undoing all the shitty mods the previous owner did to his Evo 8. It's a high strung, precision machine that kids like to throw bolt-on parts at with no knowledge of what actual tuning is.
hey david, i just started my youtube channel! i been watching your videos for the past 2 years and you inspired me to start my own. i have a 2008 wrx. i plan on fully building it. i would love for you to review my car since you dont have a 2008 on your channel. thanks man!
i remember when i drove this car. this was my buddys old car before ron bought it.. what a fun car 😂
he reminds me of that 1 guy in class who never stops talking
I have had my Evo X for 9 years without any issues...... Besides changing the clutch at 90,000 miles.
Owned an Evo mildly modded and never had an issue.
I know nothing much about cars but I loved Subaru Impreza and the Evo a lot. I need to know which one is more reliable as a daily driver, a Subaru Impreza or a Evo 8?
Mitsubishi cars are a bit more involved than what most honda or mustang bois can handle. People that break them are either making a ton of power or they're morons and should stick to something a lot easier to take care of like maybe a gold fish.
Bling Status False. I own a boosted Honda and bought an Evo. 191k miles and strong compression and still boosting hard. Dont drag Honda "bois" into this. We aren't all brain dead like Subaru guys.
Yet the DSM is still rolling with zero issues.
Hey! That Evo is from STMTuned!? That's a shop that is near me! Sweet! :).
Well,that just a bad tuning problem.If your pall had tuned it right,pick the right brand and most importantly,always kept everything in check,the car should have last plenty of years.Every car has its own limits,push it above that,this will happen.
what's going on my 🅱lue 🅱oi
this is so subjective. my brother runs his evo 10 at around 500 hp and haven't had any issue the last couple years. its all about up keep
Good video!! the Evo is one of my favorite cars
i always look at those turbo manifolds and feel sorry for the mechanic taking them off
Is it bad that the guy who walked up to his evo was exactly how I thought he was going to look?
never had problems... 560hp daily driven
Bro you look like a younger version of my uncle with different eye color that is crazy
Should have got the 2017 Evo, they're super reliable
I hate those little spring clips they're so easy to lose
isn't it the same story with wrx's... both are cool though
You have to remember these cars from that era are getting old + how the car was modified makes or breaks the reliability
say what you will about the Evo, but the 4g63 bottom end is bullet proof. what other 4 cylinder can you extract 500+HP on stock internals, none to my knowledge.
I see you david with the video ending in 1320
I couldn't finish this video. I normally love the vids but this one cut me deep😁. My Evo has never given me a problem. I will admit that they are high maintenance once you start making power but as long as you keep up the maintenance and don't beat on it like a Honda than you will be fine.
Well there you go. You can't complain about how unreliable they are and then they the problem was it was missing something because someone neglected it.
Is the harness even connected to anything? If it is, it will just break the chair in a crash. Whoever built a car like that I'd be seriously concerned about the rest of it...
My evo 9 has never failed me lmao ripping on the evo its better then most cars
I drive an Evo IX and can confirm that it's on E85 and have cable/zip ties in the glove box lol
I expected a lot more "I've driven an evo for 12 years and never ever had a single problem" comments
when it couldn't rev over 2k i kinda thought it was the maf plug also. race car for sure
So basically this Evo has a problem that needs to be fix cause when you give it boost then something pops off. Um that's your Evo's problem NOT EVERY EVO HAS THE SAME DAMN PROBLEM!!! Why would you hate on something cause you have encountered one or two evos with that problem, not every evo in the world is like that cause I know a rally racer and his mechanic and they never had that problem, maybe you guys don't know how to fix the car SIMPLE!!
Same thing happens with Evo´s Impreza´s Stang´s and several other cars, they come fine from factory, some guy "tunes up" the car and breaks it, they sell it and the 2nd owner (and so on) have to deal with the "mods" and end up hating the car saying it sucks and has a ton of trouble....yeah theres factory issues, trannys on evos, rods on imprezas, alternators on mustangs, driveshafts on challengers and all that but most of the issues come from wanna be tuners that add cheap parts and fuck up their cars!
Don't blame the drivers for the car breaking when they drive the car how it's suppose to be driven. Nobody buys an Evo to drive it to the grocery store and back
if I ever get an evo I hope it comes with an Alan
I've heard lots of horrible shit about Evos breaking once you start modding them. Glad I'm a muscle car guy. My built motor and supercharged Mach 1 keeps chugging along despite the abuse.
This video proves to me that David doesn't know shit about cars, but then again every big TH-camr that has a car channel doesn't.
It's always the cars with shiny paint that don't run....priorities.
This guy is saying evos are unreliable but it's something that's simple as fuck to fix. Other than that the car runs great
Its when you start messing about with them trying to make them go faster
Maybe get the metal pin to stop it breaking down, why blame it on the evo.
BMW’s logo is the one that represents a plane propeller
This isn't Evo related. This is tuner car related.
6:30 A random Evo SUV pulls up
2:35 Finally this guy puts on his seatbelt...
Yes definitely its a nice car but it breaks down alot which is sad. Its also expensive as shit if your not careful.
That's right.. You actually have to know how to work on cars to own an Evo. Know how to, do your own work.. Those kinds of things. Or you pay to play.
Just like any car as long as you know what to look for and pay attention to, you'll be fine. Also if someone lost a metal clip to a plug, I dont think thats the Evos fault hah. Over 7 years, my 2005 hasnt had any real major issues (knock on wood)
my evo never had an problems with it once and my evo 767 whp
The problem has it on thr driveer that does not how to maintain an evo and abuse it
When you dont know how to mod of course you will fuck it up ...Evos are very reliable (have owned 2 of them)
please keep in mind these cars are geeting older and most people beat the living crap out of evos or any car in that case
what kind of Lexus are you driving
3kgt vr4 is my ride, best mitsu ever built in my opinion, v6tt
I had an evo 8 for years and never had a problem with it. The problem is the owners. They destroy the cars.
Kent K yep
Storm yep
I agree. I live in the Middle East and the Evo is on the list of some of the most common cars to have accidents. It pisses me off when I take my X to the shop and people keep telling me about the dangers of the car and selling it. They think it's the car, but when you see some of these young Arabs drive...
Kent K it's those damn dsm owners. half of them ruined their dsm's then sold them and bought evo's.
I agree. Mine has never left me stranded on the side of the road.
So yall are hating on Evos, but everything you mentioned sounds like user error (no clip on sensor, user error. going to court because customers are stupid and burned their clutches up early, user error, the Evo stopping multiple times because of the same sensor that you Still have not secured properly.. you see what I'm saying). AND to top it all off, both your 240s are down as we speak. priceless lol
snowmanii just morons that need to by shitty subarus and leave the Evos to the adults
@@kayloob6708 if you beat on a Subaru or don’t probably maintain it you’re gonna have the same problems so I don’t see what the difference is
I own an Evo, my dream car! Problematic and expensive; but the feeling you get from a good hoon is truly unmatched; keep the power numbers down and treat the transfer case right and you'll be fine... but the mod bug and age brings many problems LOL. But still, finding and fixing problems with your friends is part of the appeal of being a car enthusiast right? The Evo ticks all the boxes! :P
GTA Wise Guy well said!
Waitin' for that Ruiner Maaan 😂
@Nothing Here Kind of funny you mention that, it's ready for import now and you can make it look just like David's 240 ;)
GTA Wise Guy in da hauussseee
GTA Wise Guy this is why I drive an STi lol
Please stop trying to give advice on car problems if you don't know what you're talking about.. your subscribers are very young and believe everything you say. You can confuse them very easily.
Clowns EVO for breaking down........owns a 240sx lol
That’s a hypocrite if I’ve ever heard one
it's not the evos fault, but the owners
Jesus Mendoza its both...some cars made to last...for example toyotas, nissan, AND ESPICIALLY HONDAS....mitsubishi has always been plagued with problems
Donald Trump toyota and Honda reliable??? Mine always stalls on me I will stay with my Infiniti and evo than a Honda or Toyota
havocx 25 infinity over an evo anyday, again Honda's last fucking forever....funny how you didn't say anything about nissan
Donald Trump i like nissan exept there crappy sentra and versa. honda brakes fast for me, then again im bias on V6 im not gonna hide that part. rather have V6 than a crappy i4 cylinder, they can take more abuse.
havocx 25 I see....well I'm a 240 guy currently building it and want a r34 skyline down the road
I've owned 2 evos, my second is going on 4 years road racing and no problems. you plebs just dont know how to maintain them or identify problems. I can't even finish this video...
THR Evo8 I am on my 5th, yes 5TH! Evo and they have been the best and most reliable cars I've ever owned. I autocross and road race my evo 10+ times a year.
bunch of plebs for sure
THR Evo8 ok, if you finished the videos, they say it's mostly the owner, hell, they say it 5 minutes in lol
THR Evo8 you didn't finish the video huh
THR Evo8 I haven't owned a Evo (yet) but I have owned 2 DSM's (1st and 2nd gen gsx) and I loved them to death... Yes they had minor issues here and there but nothing major ever... I'm currently looking for a bone stock Evo 9 but it's easier said than done lol
thats cause you have stock evos
Bro I lost ya when you called the exhaust manifold a intake manifold. 😭😂 you don’t know anything Nissan boy. 😬
"Buying a built car from somebody is very risk" - dude it's literally only a missing clip and you are judging Evos from that?
Equivalent to saying "240s are shit because their headlights go out all the time".
thats what i was saying the whole time!!! its just a simple clip!
Mr.Rexxyy exactly what i was thinking you obviously could see you jus need to clip the map sensor on & you know not to get into boost because it will come off easier but you rip on it ? Hmmm the intelligence 🤔🤔
Looool It was so noobish of him to say that... The car didn't break down because a rod went through the engine block. The friggin MAP sensor kept falling off because of a lost clip... Dude's throwing shade at EVOs for that...
Bro you have been doing car reviews for such a long time and you still don't know what a common intake manifold looks like? Lmao that's the exhaust manifold. No wonder you have had such a hard with the 2jz 240 you probably never try to fix it yourself and hand it to the pros to be butt fucking you everytime you think something major broke.
Oh yea, lets act like the car had a major failure because owner wasn't knowledgeable enough to spot an unplugged map sensor that is literally right in your face on the manifold and it was the cars fault a .05 cent paper clip type retainer wasn't in place.....first video thats ever bothered me..
Androyd Rzr right on. Even if I wasn't an Evo owner this would still irritate me.
let's make a drug out 13min video about how shitty evos are only because the MAP clip was missing... dumb
Androyd Rzr I think the point is the owner has more money than tools....if the guy doesn't learn how to work on it....it's going to get really old really fast breaking down all the time because the owner doesn't know anything about his car
I'm lowkey salty after this video
I felt that the issue was, is that your friend bought someone else's project. Would be a different story with a Stock Evo.
my Evo has literally never broken on me if you built it right it shouldn't break down easily
redsplatr gaming hopefully you didnt judt jinx it
TheNodle knock on wood for me lol
redsplatr gaming I've had an evo x for over two years and has never broken down or even had get a small thing fixed
Terry Hernandez Ive had mine for about 6 months but it's an 04 and so it's been through a lot and the ONLY thing that has failed on it as far as I know was a wheel bearing
You shouldnt have to "build" anything just so it doesnt break. Id be damned to spend this much money on something that I cant even spank on without breaking it or dumping a shit ton of money to make it reliable.
