I work out at Works Motorsport in Sonoma, driven & wrenched on just about every gen of evo I believe now… firmly stand by the idea of the Evo 5/6 being the best of em all. Perfect mix of the tin can s**tbox feel of the early cars, with just enough of the driveline refinement before they started to become heavier/ just numb like the X’s. Shame probably 90% of them are rusted this same way😂
The 5 is so good. Its insane how little rust protection they applied to pretty much everything of this era in Japan. I have never really read much about it but something had to be going on with whoever all manufacturers were consulting for chassis protection solutions at that time. Maybe i was just purely cost related.
😬 That's pretty bad but hopefully you can fix it up. The intercooler pipe was never that shape for clearance, they made it like that to improve flow, something called the venturi effect I believe 👌🏽
Man that's a shame especially on an evo 5 RS. I'm starting a chassis rails swap on my evo 6 soon too, but i'll probably replace the entire length of the rail. check it out if you're interested. I always tighten the strut top nuts before the lower bolts when swapping out suspension, better isn't it?
I hope you got the oem brake setup front and rear with the car and the shitty evo 4 brake is on for rally use or so:D Oem 5-9 calipers have become very expensive. Greetings from germany love the content👍🏼👍🏼
Typical cp9a ct9a rust issue. Easiest way to go about it is order ct9a frame rails from Ross sport in the UK. Only difference is the front section has to be chopped off. It’s not a huge job and is actually fairly simple
"To me" is the key word there. Everyone has their preferred generation but some generations are better than others regardless of what someone likes more than the other. I'm not a huge evo fan so I won't act like one is better than the other because I have no clue but I'm gonna assume that this is Chelsea favorite evo so to him "the best evo" just like you like the 8/9s more
@@24kNick I mean you publicly commented on the Internet so anyone including me can say what they want just like you did and I also threw no hate towards you. All I was saying is just because you like those more doesn't mean everyone else does.
So did we miss something here as ur audience? I see nothing about people trying to pick up chick's. I watch a show on chickens to figure that out. It's like getting dating advice from a calender.

Always was, and still is a dream car. Looking forward to updates!
5:23. All cars in general and EVO's are RHD in the UK mate.

Hold on sending an email to the shop who quoted me 4h to install coilovers brb
Keep at it your crushing it watching from England respect to you and your wife Chelsea💪👌👍😎💯
Loving all the new content coming! This will be a fun build to follow along with
Aint no way you got your hands on a Evo.. letsssss goo

looks like a UK spec evo 5, it would be right hand drive from the UK also
Sick car, can't wait to see it when you get finished with everything.
Looking to buy a 5 or a 6 in the next year so would love more content on this!
I agree, the EVO V is the best evolution ever made. Love that car.
Really? I thought it was the VI.
We are all rhd in the UK too Chelsea, its the eu that is lhd
The eu and uk are the same thing to us. You know what he meant. - an American
Yessss, here for the Evo content! Adam doesnt post his enough lol
Editor- ❤ great job love the sleek shots thrown in
I appreciate it! ❤
@@Brentgass58 👏🏻🙌🏻
Working fast to change that strut!
Are you looking to get a job on the RTR drift team? 😁
Love the videos. Keep knocking them out.

Are they Evo seats or standard lancer?
CP9A FTW!!
We never got the Evo 7 in America. Unfortunately, only the 8 9 and x But definitely agree that the evo5 is the best
Is that the lancer seats? Evos supposed to have recaros
2:03 that's the german part of Adam's heritage 😂
Damn 30 min coil installs. Is take me that long just to get the car jacked up lol.
Coilovers can take 4 hours easily in the rust belt
I hope you got the oem brake setup front and rear with the car and the shitty evo 4 brake is on for rally use or so:D
Oem 5-9 calipers have become very expensive.
Greetings from germany love the content👍🏼👍🏼
Evo 3 my fav
Did it have Sellholm shocks on it?
Saw the title and my first thought was, It better be an Evo V! 😂
Dam love the shock sticker, can I put one on some pasta sauce, Paul Newman style
dude why is Sean fuckin fuming at 2:17 💀💀
they're working overtime to get the car done. they are fried
Evo 3 is the best G !

SO SICK!
its time for porsche drift video Chelsea :D come onnnn
2:17 - 2:18. Death stare go hard
Chelsea uploaded a new video = MY DAY JUST GOT BETTER !
Dream car
Evo is goog
Love the content ❤
3:03 bang
Partial to the 6 over the 5. Regardless any evo is good 😂
Irrelevant information, but the VIII was the first one we got in the states, not the VII
I just imported an Evo 6 to sell and I have rust in the same spot 😭 pray for us
Noice stuff 😂🔥🔥
Build a cheap Z. Be cool to see your take and setup. Double dawg dare.
Nope. I dislike those cars.
💥🤙🏽😎
Hi
Don't tell me you're about to build a rally car to beat adam's wrx. Actually please do tell me that's what's happening
Negative 😂
Idk about “ best evo ever made “ , evo 8/9 are better to me . Also would rather have the Evo 0 aka the galant vr4

@@AcedCowboy There was absolutely no reason to leave this reply you just wanted to yap. If I said the words “ to me “ why would even leave a comment .

Uk is rhd bud lol
That is a terrible launch. For longevity of the driveline parts, please learn to slip the clutch. Love this car
That is slipping it. It’s organic, so we slip into the clutch drop to take the initial hit off

I did a coilover install in 5 min. Asked my wife if that was cool, she didn’t care, that’s not how you pick up chicks?
