So yeah, the Evo is the best car ive owned and up there with some of the best cars ive ever driven, i personally believe they are the best cars out there on the market for the price.. but like every car, they also have their downside haha!
Thanks for watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’d rather change spark plugs four times a year on a evo than one time every three years on a Subaru.
Still an evo so you can't not love it
Wrap looks very fast and furious. 👎🏻
Probably looked like a nice car in its silver paint.
I do spark plugs every 1000 miles lol. It’s like Christmas every time I get a fresh set in. Lots of experts in here. As 15 years an Evo owner, here goes. Exedy twin, great clutch
Don’t think I ever heard him say 400 wheel, so 400 brake is believable
Bov depends on mapping. If the car is mapped to release to atmo then go ahead, if not it should be plumbed back into the intake
Injectors depend on a few things. Brand and again mapping. Some brands just have better injector technology and adjustability. Some types are known for a rough idle even in a small size. In the states anything below 1200 is small. 1600 is standard fare, but we use loads of ethanol fuel.
We used to think boost pressure lifted heads but it’s really detonation that’s the biggest offender. We’re looking at 140-170psi cylinder pressure so adding a couple pounds boost pressure is nothing to get in a twist over. Make sure your mapping is right on. I’ve been doing well over 25psi for more than a decade now with oem head bolts.
Yea they understeer. There’s a few things to do in the rear to help. Sway bar and rear diff can be built to kick out a bit
If you like the snappy feel then stay with a stock sized turbo.
Enjoy
Always wanted an evo 08 best evo buy far epic man love the work keep it up bro
Love the journey of the Evo Lee, so nice to see a BHR on it!
Lee you only had a wrx ? comparing it to an sti would be a better comparison definitely better interior than evo 😂 im only in preston feel free come over for a face off with my hawkeye sti ... 😉
LAN Evo firstly it’s they’re*. Secondly your comment is incorrect
Hi lee. Great video mate, been following you since day 1 pretty much. Love the EVO. Keep making great content 🙌
Best review yet bro! 👍
The Led and paper flywheel comparison you made is bang on. i was thinking to myself about how much slower My WRX revs up compared to my old V6 MG. Might have to have a look at a lightened flywheel for it 🤔
That missing trim triggers me big time! I wouldn't be able to drive it until I'd sorted that! Glue the bastard on next time.
Good review Lee 👍🏼🙏🏼
Hi Lee, your Evo is looking good. I like the wide wings and how the shape follows around from the front edge of the bonnet. And I think that the colour is just right.
Has come a long way since you purchased it and I have enjoyed following the progress.
William thankyou brother!
There is nothing wrong with heel toe in the Evo, if you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know that accelerator is setup to be level with the brake when you're braking hard. Every other problem you list is your car specific, own it. It isnt a problem with Evos like you keep saying.
Never had any of the problems in my evo as he as listed.
The video is Titled, MY OWN EVO 8. I imagine the the problems would be specific to his car.
This is brilliant! I can relate so much! Brilliantly done :)
Top video Lee....evo looks well smart on the road...just need those brakes sortin..😜
jon vickerson hhaha Track pad life 😂
Good video once again lad this will bring a lot of new viewers
Its Benji I hope so!🙏
That paint job is awesome! Great video man
Is a wrap
I've just got a 04 and I picked up alot of great tips from the vid.
Great review buddy
your honesty about the cold start idle and blow off valve slight issue, now everyone here in comments like their frigging mapping technicians smh
Lee the Cobra alarm sucks your car was meant to have keyfobs the one your using is an override switch if there battery goes flat try contacting Cobra (owned by Vodafone now) about replacements. I’m the opposite keyfob no overide key 😂
My good mate had a evo9 gt around 5/6yrs ago now, beautiful car and not hugely in to japenese cars, I’m sure his was around 600bhp, it’s probably the fastest car I’ve ever been in, the stopping power was unreal too.
It was as if it was on rails, blew my mind actually! Again not standard in any way from engine to suspension and brakes but what a car that was.
Ultimate Evo in my eyes, Love the Evo 9 GT and Evo 9 MR RS, proper drivers cars, People go on about the Tommi Mak Evo 6 being the ultimate Evo, but there no difference to a Evo 6 GSR except different front bumper/coloured interior/Titanium turbo.
I just love these videos
Cool vid mate 👌🏼
Great review lad ,,the car is looking epic ,, the wide wings really suit the shape of the car ,maybe have more reviews on a few top spec evos and Sti Subaru’s showing the different versions like sti type r or some new evos that are out now and compare them to ur evo ,,plus you and Jesse shud race again Man “ I think if Jesse learnt how to change gears might be close haha
There's a little screw you can turn on the idle control valve/throttle body to fix the idle problem.
Fantastic video mate nice to see the evo again 😀😀. Keep up the great work buddy 👍
Should do a Dyno video see what it's running 👍👌
One of the few Marques that I've never tried infact & possibly waaaaay too thirsty in 2019! 🤣
My Dad bought a real early import Subaru WRX wagon back in '95 & then i picked up a UK WRX wagon myself a few years back,which was fun! 👍
Decent vid Lee
mighty car mods shout out !!!! nice. how savage is that golf R. and UK spec one would be way faster
“Should be pushing about 400 Hores”
Nice honest review there lad good video do you think Jesse would let you review his car and he can review yours
A honest review would show you all around the car.
Hard Worker fair enough I think he did really well to get a lot of points across
6.33 forgetting fuel trims, i had that on my civic the other week from taking the ecu off, which ive done loads of times before , but for some reason thats the only time it did it on mine, was a pain at lights. also are you gonna bring jesse in his ep3 as well to the next sale meet ?
Quality vid mate
It's a nice looking car Lee I like it .I'm into the E30 BMW myself but I do like Yours
Great vid lee, any plans of re-badging the rear?
As others have said, great review and no holes barred comments on your own car. I second what other people have said, a dyno run to see what the power is at, should be a follow up video. Great progress and beautiful car
Good video, you were definitely brutally honest about it😂
Infamouz gotta be!😂
Love the videos Lee
Ive got the Sport version , do you find the seats uncomfortable ? Im looking to put Evo seats in but if these are as bad I wont bother paying out for em . Mine has red rather than blue inserts and does look better than the blue if Im honest
The reason your evo runs rich after boosting is because the BOV is venting to atmosphere instead of it being recirculated back into the intake. So the car is expecting that extra air after you let off from boosting, but instead its getting none and still thinks it needs to compensate. weird how the guy how gave you the maps for the car didn't account for the bov. Also people in America call them blow off valves too, don't think I've ever heard someone call them vent to atmospheres lol
Good video plan on keeping the evo for a long time? Are get something elese at somepoint ?
Awesome video
If you try some thinner driving shoes (Sports Direct Lonsdales for like £25 work great) and roll your foot over rather than trying to do it with your actual heel, then heel/toe is easier
wont be long till it blows up!
Good job i have a 9 MR with the nice piano black interior trims 👍🏼
Tupac, nice to see you again! Last time was in Vegas '96
Yep September 13th 1996 was my last day in vegas.Then i mysteriously vanished.😏
weird u say the evo picks up faster as from what ive heard the evos have more lag than the sti's you are comparing to a wrx tho which do have alot of lag
I am looking to get an Evo 9 MR next year. Hope it is as fun as I always imagined it to be!
I've owned a Gc8 V4 sti type RA and an evo 3 gsr. Evo was definitely the quicker car point to point. Sti felt like it had been put together alot better than the evo though and the interior was a much nicer place to be. The sti type rA was much better setup to modify also with a closed deck block from factory, seam welded chassis, light weight glass and panels and a driver adjustable centre diff to really tune in the power delivery. You definitely need try an sti with the dccd Lee. 👍
Great video mate love your evo!!
Things looking unreal man 👌
I love the wrap but you should have had the door shuts done dude, every time you open the door in a video i get so fixated on the silver i have no idea what Happens for the rest of the video lol
To get the shuts and returns done is more expensive and takes longer. Not exactly necessary for most people.
the spaceape it just lets down the finished product. Personally I would rather spend the extra and get it all done.
@@scottlaaa agreed, but for the average person it's not something they care about
You need the timing adjusting for the injectors when it does that my friends have had 0 issues
What's the plan with tje evo Lee? U ganna keep it for the long run?
To fix the lumpy idle caused by the injectors just bypass the resistance pack for the injectors. It's to do with the impedance and if they're not matched it will be lumpy when cold. It's super cheap and we'll worth doing, again about £20.
Ive had both impreza and evo! Evo much sharper and more focused. Evo everytime for me. Id like to see eva on the dyno.
I’ve had a 95’ evo 3 GSR and a classic 97’ Scooby STI. The Scooby was definitely more enjoyable and mechanically reliable to own than the evo but the evo was quicker, although they were both putting out roughly 310hp, Scooby maybe a little more but didn’t always feel like it. I’m not going to say I’d choose one over the other because they were both great cars in there own ways.
Love the vid, but where can i get the top you changed in to from jessie plz
7:16 good bit of info here. I believe my 1.8t Mk4 gti has a similar distaste for blow off valves
If you're struggling to heel & toe you can buy pedal extensions for your accelerator pedal with an adjustable plate to get it to where u want
Good review m8 loving the EVO
I actually remember the top gear episode of clarkson complaining about turning circle lol. I always thought the Subaru was cooler (imo) but the evo was more of a capable car, better for a circuit etc
And the race in 5th against a fiat lol
Iv always believed that a you buy a scooby if you can’t afford an evo although the scooby does sound better
Can you repeat how many clips and bolts to hold on the front bumper i lost count.😂 Cool vid
Jason Poole 😂🙏
First!! Great video mate 👍
Can't watch a 17 minute video in 60 seconds mate
I had mine for about 3 years, never got used to the indicators/wipers.. 🙄Used to get people thinking the car was on fire when it was raining from the water dripping down the bonnet vent
I actually love the Evo 8 out of the other generations. It's one car I'd enjoy daily driving and Uber with lol
So come Lee.. we need a race. I'm only running 405 at the min.. let's get it on..
Hey Lee great video... Just wanted to ask you a quick question about the Evo, what rpm does full boost kick him and what rpm does it redline?
Touge boost comes in about 4k.. and I rarely take it to the limiter but I think it’s about 7k or just over
@@itsleelockwood thanks man... What rpm do you shift up at then?
nice vid, car really coming together.
13:30 Jesse loved that haha
You deserve to have 100k+ subs by end of this year man 👌you can do it lee 😉
Dude 1000cc injectors are small. It's your tune that sucks.
Lidawano 1000cc injectors are small? Lol ok
Agreed. Tuned by a blind man if they can’t sort the idle. Jokers tune. All power and piss poor drivability.
@@itsleelockwood Well they're certainly not big. I used to run 2150cc injectors in my 8 before going to staged injection and it would start and idle just fine. Not having a dig or anything but 1000cc injectors should be running like factory.
Also, you should be on Speed Density (MAFless) if you want to run a vent to atmo BOV without issues. Will also help with the reversion you're no doubt experiencing from your metal intake pipe also. These are things I'd hope your tuner would be educating you on.
@@itsleelockwood where did he say it was tuned?
That wrap is my dream
Simon Norton just remaped my x nice guy knows his stuff
Sti vs evo would be fair comparison but you didn't own one. Maybe you can do a review on a sti one day to compare it
Birmingham racing got one coming up
There is no comparison.
STI. ...WHEN YOU COULDNT QUITE AFFORD TO INSURE A EVO...LOL STY??
jdm pwr both are really high on insurance not much of a comparison
Haven't seen the vid yet already liked it👍
M. Osama ok
Lad in passenger just been told bad news or something
Violent Night's 😂😂👍🏻
Don’t know if they evo 8 and 9 have the same height when it comes to the pedals but in my evo 9 it’s super easy and comfortable to heel and toe
Hi. Wanted to know how's ur fuel mileage with such big injectors. Car looks great. L Ok be the evo's
Simon told me to leave the dump valves for the scooby guys, glad I listened but I sooo want one on my 7
Viral Valley yeah they hate VTA
@@itsleelockwood why don't you take it off, they do sound mint though.
Even Subaru's are better off without them. More hassle than they're worth.
Got a forge vent and recirc on mine runs great no idle dropping or stalling
To me it sound like your tune was done in a day by some wanna be technician.
Alexander Barr do some research before embarrassing yourself in the comments
@@itsleelockwood Aye nae bother. Poor idle, over fueling blah blah sounds like a well tested map.
Done by Norris designs you can't argue with the map
@@Birmingham_racing Yet he has poor driveability with only 1000cc injectors? Sounds like the fuelling needs a touch up to me.
don't think you'v met or watched the video with Simon Norton then.
no chance its just under 400whp. prove me wrong. iv got a 7 with cams and 8mr turbo exhaust and other crap id be lucky to have 330-350
He never said 400 at the wheels.
Poor tune you should see 400 at the crank with cams and Mr turbo or 9 turbo at 1.8 bar in a evo 7 not advised accords are weaker in a 7 than a in or 9
“The trim”
“What trim”
“Well it’s gone”
😂😂😂
When are you gonna stop those brakes from squeaking?
Is right, Lee seen the mighty car mods evo #2sexy!! 😁
Pretty sure the evo on mighty car mods isn't called 2sexy
Evos that VTA need to be on Speed Density... why didn't your tuner recommend Speed Density ??
More of a impreza fan to evo's but do prefere mitsubish gallants/legnums to legacy and legacy outbacks.
i bet the twin plate clutch feels light after driving the 172!
RB182 the clio clutches aren’t the easiest I’ll give you that
@@itsleelockwood Clio......Lol
The heel and toe point is the same with my 197 Cup so hard
Like the way it said slow on the road when you were doing about 100
I really liked this review of the Evo because it is actually a legitimate view on the shortcomings of the Evo, and not a bunch of BS from some car reviewer who has absolutely no idea about anything on the Evo lol.
If you're fouling plugs 4x/year then you've got a tune issue or excessive oil entering the combustion chamber etc...
Had a evo 7 miss it - more fun than my bmw m3 F80
Just bought an fn2 & i feel ya pal. Stiff as fuck clutch, stupid short gear ratios. Trim clips are wank lol. But i still love it. Great vid lad 👍
I have the 9mr you talk about and yea must agree they do have a better interior
Whats your 0-60 lee?
My car has the same issue when you take the batterie out, it forgets the throttle position. I thought mine was fucked.
When you getting some wheel centre caps lad 🤦🏻♂️
I had a evo 5 running 420bhp it was a real little monster, sound like his car is set up wrong, My clutch was not light but wasn’t heavy either,
