its not that thwy want to discontinue it for good but economy is changing, most people nowadays doesn't want to get sport sedan but a family Suv that is why maeketting a sport sedan that doesn't on demand is too pricey for them and will blow as not profitable...in pur world right now, money talka not passion..
In a world where most people build cars like this to look like race cars but never even go on track, seeing a simple and clean build like this never fails to astonish.
Bro, the level of PASSION you put into this car make me tear. Shout out to you and every passionate carhead out there. You, gentlemans, make moving art.
Lancer evo series is one of the best Japanese materpiece JDM icon indeed what a video it was appreciated every second of it the passion for the car is mesmerising
Build????? This is a modern car that’s just had a clean and a detail with a paint correction & a few new parts thrown in for good measure. Nicely done but calling it a “build” is just hilarious.
You have better detailing technique than most detailing youtubers. It's clear that you know what you are doing. Love the refinements to an amazing car. Just amazing.
I’d like to think that at least one of the people who helped build this car all those years ago sees this and feels content that it’s getting this degree of love shown to it.
Is it weird to say that this video has made me tear up? i got so emotional watching how this car goes from used and dirty to factory new and shiny. its truly a from of art. this car is also one of my favourite cars out there
I am a senior citizen and it does my heart so good to see a young man like yourself putting such pride and quality in to your work and vehicle. You should be very proud to drive that vehicle anywhere, and to invite anyone to ride in it. I wish you very well.
20 Years old Evo and still better than so many cars. Man This Car is a dream, beautiful and powerful. The color, the interior with Recaro Seats... JUST PERFECT. It is a pity that in my country I can never have a car like this or similar
What did I just watch?! Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time! Bringing me back to the warm feeling of wanting to build cars my own way! Seeing you do your magic is just awesome! Keep it up! It’s amazing to see this quality of a build in a time of car culture like the one we are lacking
Incredible. I owned a 2006 lancer and put my heart and soul into that vehicle. My only regret was selling it. This video brought back so many memories of the endless hours working on it. You are very talented and I will check out your other videos 👍 Much love from Australia
Like I always say to people, you put more time than money into a car. I have about 640hours into one of my Audis. Thats just redoing the whole engine and trans and suspension brakes, subframes, etc. Its all been put back to factory, and everything painted, new hardware OEM++++
Ahh geez, I watched this a year ago and also today without skipping any part. It’s a moving piece of art and I swear evolution 8 is one of the best looking car probably up until my last breath imo. 🎉
My only thing to add is using steam on a headliner. Not an evo issue specifically but the glue that adheres the headliner might lose its ability to bond after being hit with heat. You seemed to be very cautious using steam on the headliner but for anyone else looking to clean theirs be careful.
This video made me start tearing apart my 02 WRX to start something similar. It might take me a few years, if not longer. But watching the work and care you put into this has inspired me to give my old Bugeye new life.
My eyes were glued to the screen for the entire duration of the video... This level of devotion comes out of pure love and passion. Awesome work Chris...
I assume that the whole process of restoring and recording was done by yourself. I admire all the effort and desire you put into giving more life to this legendary JDM. All my respect, mate.
This level of commitment and passion is unrivalled. This is truly inspiring. A few months ago I also got a jdm evo 8 from Japan to Australia and have just had it fully resprayed. These cars are icons and deserve all the love. Thanks for sharing Chris, I can't wait to see what you have in store for this beautiful car!
I don't know what it is, but yours is one of the only channels where I eventually end up watching the same video again and again. LIke a really good movie or great cartoon, you will just watch it again some other day. Sometimes I just need motivation to go clean / care for my 9MR.
This video is amazing. I love the camera work and the music! You can clearly see that this is a passion for you just from all the attention to detail. It’s all about the little things!
Such perfection, man. I just picked up an 05 SSL and this has quickly become my favorite/most inspiring channel. I wish I could be out in my garage all day.
Amazing, the amount of work you put in is just insane. I have a short attention span when it comes to watching videos but damn watching this video feels like it's too short. Would love to watch more of these type of content!
Still my dream car since I saw the movie The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift. You just made it perfect. Red color, no decals, clean rims and the carbon fiber around the car. And your message at the end of the video, just perfect. I'm driving a 2000 Celica now with much joy. But some day I will have my dream car. A red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution...
Absolutely amazing! The build quality is top-notch, but the editing and narration in the video is equally as high! Did the Evos in Japan have the same issues relating to the paint and extremely thin clearcoat issues Evos in the US had?
@@ChrisGoorbarry That stinks. Does yours need a paint job in the near future? I have a 2008 Civic Mugen Si. Thar generation of Civic had similar paint and ckearcoat issues. Also, are you keeping all the parts you're replacing? I hope you are!
I think you missed a spot 😆 jk So proud of you, for your dedication and the outcome of everything you do! You’re definitely an inspiration for others! Keep it up! 💪🏼🔥🔥
I remember seeing one of these at a car show in Los Angeles back in 2002. And I was in awe, I badly wanted one. However, at the time I could not afford one. And I came across your video, after looking for a Lancer. You have done a beautiful job on this car, and I commend your dedication to bringing this beauty back to life. I love your passion and dedication to each and every detail. Thank you!!
this car has been my first love ever since i was 7 years old seeing my uncle own this made me fall in love with the Evo, the exhaust rumble, the turbo spooling and of course the sexy red color! watching this brings back the good times!! one day ill own one of these bad boys! beautiful build!!
That's one of the best Evo 8's I've ever seen. The fact that you've preserved everything good about Japanese performance in it is a rare sight indeed. They just don't get much better than this. Kudos from Japan.
I've never been to this channel before this video. I knew this was being filmed in Florida but didn't get confirmation until the end. You gotta love a vehicle to invest that many hours that you did. Great job, great video. I just subscribed and can't wait to see what's to come. 👍👍
@ChrisGoorbarry No problem my dude, the pleasure was all mine. Keep it up. I live in Florida also. In the middle of restoration of my 1997 Nissan XE "Hardbody" pickup. Just sourced a Nissan RB26DETT engine and transmission from Japan with 38K miles. This is going to be fun. 😉✌️
I have no idea why I was so glued to this video (apart from my undying love for Lancer Evolutions), but great work both with the car and the video. I've always been partial to Evo 6, but this 8 is definitely a dream car as well. Just a beautiful piece of machinery, and fantastic work done restoring it to it's full glory. Happy driving, give it the beans for me!
Thank you so much for making this video, u lived the dream of many man. The quality, time and effort in this video can be felt by many. Again thanks for making this video.
Das Auto sieht einfach extrem gut aus in seiner Gesamtheit. Und es sind eben die Details, die Alles am Ende so bündig aussehen lassen. Excellente Arbeit!
Thank you for putting this video together. Not only was there alot of love in the project but also in the editing and production. I really enjoyed it. Reading the comments made me a lil teary-eyed.😢 much ❤
This video is so full of pure love and passion to the car, that you can clearly see and feel from the effort and patience put into restoring the car.
Thank you!!
@@ChrisGoorbarry im enjoyed.
@@ChrisGoorbarry Bruh I like your Sweet ride/Fast and Furious
I agree with that.
Not only to car but only for Lancer
Thanks so much in keeping this much loved EVO on the road in sunny USA , would be hard keeping this clean in the UK
This is art you didn't miss a single thing. Really showed that gem the appreciation it deserves.🤧
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
@@ChrisGoorbarry your Sweet ride is looking real Hot on your TH-cam videos have a 1:24 Subaru WRX
Attention to detail is an understatement.. This isn’t something you see often in todays world. Hands down the cleanest evo probably on the planet.
Mitsubishi made a foolish mistake discontinuing the Lancer. I hope they wont regret it if they should release a new Lancer in the future.
its not that thwy want to discontinue it for good but economy is changing, most people nowadays doesn't want to get sport sedan but a family Suv that is why maeketting a sport sedan that doesn't on demand is too pricey for them and will blow as not profitable...in pur world right now, money talka not passion..

Bro, the level of PASSION you put into this car make me tear. Shout out to you and every passionate carhead out there. You, gentlemans, make moving art.
Every once in a great while you stumble across a rare video. This is one of them! This is what car culture about. 👏👏
This is modern day art. I love car restoration videos. You've clearly put so much work into this and it really shows. The car is absolutely mint.
You call this car restoration..... 😂😂😂
Lancer evo series is one of the best Japanese materpiece JDM icon indeed what a video it was appreciated every second of it the passion for the car is mesmerising
All the blood, sweat and tears… So much dedication put into this build! I’m so proud of you and the outcome, hard work does pay off!! ❤❤
Thank you! I appreciate you always ❤️❤️
don't forget about the lower back pain lol
Well, dude, you have got my approval and a sub. Plus top marks from a person with OCD haha.
Build????? This is a modern car that’s just had a clean and a detail with a paint correction & a few new parts thrown in for good measure. Nicely done but calling it a “build” is just hilarious.
glad to see ppl out here really treating this car with love and care as it should be it’s my dream to own a evo 9 one day
You have better detailing technique than most detailing youtubers. It's clear that you know what you are doing. Love the refinements to an amazing car. Just amazing.
It's refreshing to see someone restore a car rather than throwing mods on top of a bad foundation. Great work!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
all cars born into enthusiasm deserve this
I’d like to think that at least one of the people who helped build this car all those years ago sees this and feels content that it’s getting this degree of love shown to it.
Is it weird to say that this video has made me tear up? i got so emotional watching how this car goes from used and dirty to factory new and shiny. its truly a from of art. this car is also one of my favourite cars out there
I'm a car guy and a video guy. I can appreciate the work that went into both projects.
I am a senior citizen and it does my heart so good to see a young man like yourself putting such pride and quality in to your work and vehicle. You should be very proud to drive that vehicle anywhere, and to invite anyone to ride in it. I wish you very well.
This video took me back to my childhood. Your love for the car is loud. Love this.
This was so peaceful to watch. That Evo is a work of art. Amazing job restoring it.
20 Years old Evo and still better than so many cars. Man This Car is a dream, beautiful and powerful. The color, the interior with Recaro Seats... JUST PERFECT. It is a pity that in my country I can never have a car like this or similar
i have adhd and this was addicting to watch.
Thank you for this.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am crying full of emotion. Like if we were talking about a living being. This is genuinely beautiful!
What did I just watch?! Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time! Bringing me back to the warm feeling of wanting to build cars my own way! Seeing you do your magic is just awesome! Keep it up! It’s amazing to see this quality of a build in a time of car culture like the one we are lacking
that thumbnail looks like it was taken straight out of GT6! Incredible build and thanks for treating this evo with the love it needed!
Incredible. I owned a 2006 lancer and put my heart and soul into that vehicle. My only regret was selling it. This video brought back so many memories of the endless hours working on it. You are very talented and I will check out your other videos 👍 Much love from Australia
I’m not a JDM fan but that is a gorgeous car. Nothing on the car looks tacky, just perfect.
Can't fathom how much this restoration cost, but damn your passion and attention to detail is brilliant to watch. Great work!
Like I always say to people, you put more time than money into a car. I have about 640hours into one of my Audis. Thats just redoing the whole engine and trans and suspension brakes, subframes, etc. Its all been put back to factory, and everything painted, new hardware OEM++++

Very good point! Mines was perfectly fine but still something to be careful with!
This video made me start tearing apart my 02 WRX to start something similar. It might take me a few years, if not longer. But watching the work and care you put into this has inspired me to give my old Bugeye new life.
Your attention to detail is uplifting. Keep up the beautiful work.
Thank you so much!!
My eyes were glued to the screen for the entire duration of the video... This level of devotion comes out of pure love and passion. Awesome work Chris...
20 years old and still DOPE AF
this guy detailed the back of the tail lights. incredible
I assume that the whole process of restoring and recording was done by yourself. I admire all the effort and desire you put into giving more life to this legendary JDM. All my respect, mate.
I really appreciate the kind words Alejandro!
WOW, I am impressed by your calmness and perseverance. This is the car that deserves restoration to its glory.
This is the type of love and care people should have for these type of cars, mad love and respect for you brotha huge fan !
Most Evo owners are pretty fanatical
Someone went as balls deep with the editing as the guy repairing the evo...😮 ❤❤❤
This level of commitment and passion is unrivalled. This is truly inspiring. A few months ago I also got a jdm evo 8 from Japan to Australia and have just had it fully resprayed.

This was the best car restoration I've ever seen.
Dude hell of a video, I see all the hard work you put it and it’s nice to see it paying off. Keep killing it 🔥
Thank you William!
Pure therapie, idk why but I was suddenly soaked into this video and caught myself relaxing like I have got nothing else to do. Amazing job!
definately need an evo 9 front bumper to perfect the build. nice work mate!
nah, evo 8' bumper > evo 9'
Bro i really appreciate the love u put it into this car... This is actually my drive car and to see one shown such respect brought tears to eyes
👍 👏 wicked attention to detail, amazing, never lower your standards, 10 out of 10. 👏 👍
I always liked how much you take care and know how to maintain your evos, Its the little things like that makes a huge difference.
Thanks bro! Means a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ive spent upwards of 7 hrs detailing an altima. Id spend days on this beauty and never regret it
Bro even clean his spare tire mad respect ✊🏽
🫶🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼
I don't know what it is, but yours is one of the only channels where I eventually end up watching the same video again and again. LIke a really good movie or great cartoon, you will just watch it again some other day. Sometimes I just need motivation to go clean / care for my 9MR.

This car deserves you as a owner! 🔥
This is my dream car and I want to restore one to the level that you have. Thank you so much for this video. Truly awesome and inspirational.
I'm a simple man. When I see passion I hit like button
we need more people like you full of passion this might be the best evo I might have ever seen after NFSMW blacklist xD
omg. this guy is really in love with his car.ive never seen that much detailing in my whole life. bravo
The love he poured into this is incredible!!! This might be the best transformation I've ever seen. What a beauty.
Thank you!!!
You can this see from this video that if you buy a car you adore and always wanted. The live that you put into the restoration shows.
Amazing job, you're the epitome of professionalism. Well done, thanks for the video.
So this been popping up In my feed from the other day so I decided to watch today. Arguably the most attractive shape EVO made to date.
Thank you!!
This man put tire dressing on the spare tire.. Chris, you’re wild man. 😂
HAHA bro shhhh Let me live my ocd life in peace haha
Just don't let anyone else drive that Icon. Enjoyed every second of this masterpiece you dropped. 🔥
This video was insane. I'm sure just as much time went into filming/editing as the car itself. Amazing.
Bro you have no idea!! Lol a ton of time!
Such perfection, man. I just picked up an 05 SSL and this has quickly become my favorite/most inspiring channel. I wish I could be out in my garage all day.
Really well produced video and great job on all the hard work. Beautiful Evo. Congrats!
Thanks a lot!
日本人です。
素晴らしい動画だと思い、コメントしました。
物を大切にする精神と、美しく磨き上げる高い技術力を心から尊敬します🌸
頭文字DでEVOは悪役の存在ですが、凄まじい戦闘力を持った車であり、ラリーで培った技術を集約した車です。
例えるなら拓海の86は零戦であり、EVOはP-51戦闘機でした。
貴方の動画に、乾杯🍻✨
The cleanest Evo around, literally! That's epic, loved watching all the hard work that went into this. Keep it up, cant wait to see more!
Man, speechless. The amount of joy and excitement felt whilst watching this video is heavenly...❤❤❤
Amazing, the amount of work you put in is just insane. I have a short attention span when it comes to watching videos but damn watching this video feels like it's too short. Would love to watch more of these type of content!
As someone that loves Evo's, detailing, and extreme attention to detail, you just made my day.
Now that's a nice build! 👏
Thanks bro!!
This much dedication and effort is excellent. Any car enthusiasts will dream to work on restoration project like this... wonderfully executed
You got my respect bro! I appreciate your hard work and dedication. You make me wanna do the same to my Evo too!
Appreciate it Angel!

@@ChrisGoorbarry That stinks.
Does yours need a paint job in the near future?
I have a 2008 Civic Mugen Si. Thar generation of Civic had similar paint and ckearcoat issues.
Also, are you keeping all the parts you're replacing? I hope you are!
When it comes to car build video and restore, i’ll share this one up. That’s the real love right there ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I think you missed a spot 😆 jk
So proud of you, for your dedication and the outcome of everything you do! You’re definitely an inspiration for others! Keep it up! 💪🏼🔥🔥

Its hard to believe that car has covered two decades. Amazing finish and the detailing is upto the mark.
Beautiful.
I have collected 18 ARC boxes in my storage over the years. Sold 2 last week.
Grab you some Icon ratchets too, you’ll love’em.
I've never been to this channel before this video. I knew this was being filmed in Florida but didn't get confirmation until the end. You gotta love a vehicle to invest that many hours that you did. Great job, great video. I just subscribed and can't wait to see what's to come. 👍👍

Thank you so much for making this video, u lived the dream of many man. The quality, time and effort in this video can be felt by many. Again thanks for making this video.
Did I just hear the car sigh and see it smile? Outstanding job on making look new again!
That smile at the end of the video sums up all the hard work you put into this. loved every minute of that.
A legend....I hope mitsubishi makes a comeback
If the camera guy is not you, he deserves a shout out. Nice work.
