Could have forged the engine for the price of that absolute shanner of a wrap
Ikr or a bigger turbo literally anything but that
Great project, great build but I'm sorry the graphics absolutely ruined it and made it look like something a chav with a few grand in his back pocket would have done via a trip to Halfords.
It would have looked far more credible if you'd had themed it in the Mitsubishi Ralliart logos.
I feel like they did it for the sake of consistency. Remember they did the same thing with WRX many years ago.
Totally agree, worst thing they done. Could of saved the 2k and spent more on a better clutch kit 🤦🏻♂️
Then again a chav did build it 🥸
Unfortunately graphics are too subjective: you'll never find one that appeases everybody.
Still, I like the WRX black stripes.
@@Snarl616 Thats why when looking for pofit, they should have kept it a solid color without graphics
Stickers for 2k?! You could've spent that some on performance parts, the car already looked good
Ironically Mike hates OE and aftermarket parts, that he finds in the cars, he buys (most very expensive and tasteful) and yet he puts an horrible wrap, It reminds me like the RX7 FD from years ago.
@@giancarlolugo9586 snake skin wrap 🤣🤣
@@husk1c the wrap on the wheels was fine, but why Mike had to add it on the body.
At least Ed added properly modifications, (as always) with new intercooler and supporting mods, after increasing the boost at the remap shop.
I remember when Mike removed the set of Nismo lmgt2's,(OE wheels) from that red 300ZX Z32, and the watanabe RS's from the RX7 FB, also Ant removed the blowoff valve from the Mitsu GTO VR4, and those nice Work wheels what a joke.
@@giancarlolugo9586 i loved the front bumper on it
@@husk1c It was a mazdaspeed A-spec front bumper its really good.
Almost 2k on a ugly wrap that will add absolutely nothing to the value of the car and be pulled off by the any decent owner!!
Right, nice teaser, cutting out almost all of Elvis rebuilding that engine. I'd cherish that car, most certainly not spend £2K on the shoddy stickers. There is value in this car, come on guys, be more serious..
I think all the rest of that is maybe kept for whichever channel they air this show on.
@@ryno9732 exactly. They show all the rebuild parts on the full 45 minute show. I’m sure the full show is on YT somewhere. Episodes with popular cars like this are often uploaded on here
Elvis is a great character, I like him when he smiles when things are at the worst.
Elvis is up there with Ed. Never really took to Ant but all of the shows in the states were just poorly done I think.
Just my opinion of course
That wrap !! What a waste of money 🤑
Love my totally rebuilt Evo Vlll withe the 4G63. That's a good looking car with the Blue by You color. Too bad the graphics make it look like a cheap knockoff, when it's the real thing. Great fun to drive and that feeling when you drop down a gear and power slide out of the corner.
Anybody else notice the sump bolts were already missing as he turned the engine over
That's because..........they are a faff to all undo and usually the sump is stuck. So....... quickly showing us him turning the engine over on the stand with a bolt still in to hold the sump, then undoing a sump bolt and lifting the sump straight off is a better clip and shorter than showing him undoing all the bolts, prising the sump off.......its TV dude.
The 4g63 doesn’t just throw rods .
Over boosted/ bad tune. Hope the cause was investigated
Typically if and engine is disassembled enough to remove the crank, the engine gets a quick hone and a new set of piston rings. I'm fairly certain 4G63T pistons rings are that expensive anyway. You don't have to get full price rings from the stealership. NPR makes a lot of OEM rings for Japanese cars and they cost less than dealer price.
6:26 I didn't expect someone in the UK to be using a measuring tool in inches. The country went metric ages ago. In the USA, many people use a tool that measures inches because they were left over from when cars weren't metric. Good measuring tools cost a lot of money, so using conversions on metric engines made sense. I'm glad to see the name "Mitutoyo" on the micrometer. Cheap precision measuring tools usually aren't accurate.
8:00 You have to take a second measurement after polishing. If it's good, then you can move on. If not, the first undersize for a 4g63T crank is -.25mm
8:56 AYC pumps are very expensive. However, if your core is decent, some specialists can rebuild them.
There is a better chemistry between these two than mechanics before, life past Ed that is. I’m surprised at the body wrap cost and result. Did the wrap include a paint correction? The car does seem more bright.
The wrap literally devalued the car…and was like £2k…then they spent only like £750 on the engine when that’s the most important part…for real ??
The wrap cost more than the replacement engine and dampers combined, that seems like a pricey thing to add that may not be worth it on a car you are selling.
French blue 7 😍 ruined it with the stickers as you always do with a performance car 🤣🤣
This level of detail and engineering is what I would expect from this show, well done Elvis!!!
Apart from that shite wrap🤣💩💩💩
That colour scheme makes it look like someone with no taste ram raided the local Halfords - instead of adding nearly two grand to the price I’d be wanting a two thousand pound discount to help pay to have it removed and the paint corrected.🤦♂️
Great job
But IMO the vinyl wrap ruined it
Didn’t need it at all
Stickers and decals are sooooooooo 2001!
Those stickers are horrendous : I suspect whoever buys this will get rid of them straight away.
Did he really reuse the bearings after the polish? That engine won't last long if he did.
Thought the turbo would of needed inspection and testing!
* have
Lovely french blue 7 ruined by those stickers! Could have forged the engine for that 2k seeing as it was out and all.... mad.
Elvis is class! What a decent fella 👌
I think, it was nicer before the wrapping.
Nice job guys. I'm not too bothered about the stickers.
my subaru crank shaft has x drilled chamfered oil ways and is forged and nitrided ! with a IAG sump set .
2grand for that garbage wrap, what a great idea to devalue a car and waste money.
They saw you coming when it came to charging you that much for vinyl graphics (that's not a wrap). I recommend shopping around next time.
I like Elvis, he doesn't have that authoritarian streak that the former jack boot wearing ex-cop had.
Whoever on the design team thought it would look good with a vinyl wrap should be fired
Mike telling him to go easy at the end when it hadn't even come on boost... now it looks like lightning McQueen with that shite stuck all over it.
Truth is you wouldn't let Mike anywhere near anything. All the gear no idea
where did you find a 4g63 for 750??
Its absolutely brilliant to listen to that Commonwealth accent , Cheer's from Canada ...the measurement's are what I can relate to , American standard is the only different measure in the world.
Number plate says everything, mes!!! When will fatty stop ruining classic cars
I went to see a yellow Evo VII for sale round the corner from where I live, the dealer wanted 15k for it.
It was an utter wreck.
Rust on every panel, needed paint on every panel, it lived by the sea most of its life unfortunately.
Mike did well to find this one in good condition bodywise.
The engines aren't really that hard to get hold of, body panels however, especially the chassis parts are getting very hard to source.
Glad the shows back in the UK doing iconic cars here....the US shows never had the same appeal
they were mostly doing hot rods and big engine muscle cars
This is a good series. Not enough episodes
Hyundai 2.4 liter block with forged pistons and rods. Evo head. Cheaper than an evo block. And the extra 400cc help.
This car is up for sale on ebay without the horrid wrap!
The conrod exited the block becase of over enthusiastic braking? What the?
Can tell Mike's been in America with the words 'due diligence '
Can tell he’s been in America when you see how much fatter he’s got…..
Mitsi-booshi, is it? Mike Brewer really is some man.
Again with the childish stickers....come on guys grow up
How's the latex industry going Art? BTW I agree, the wrap is a bit silly.
Hopefully that evo received a good tune.
Yes. The question is what did it 💩 itself in the first place
The car is going to sell to someone that has the boy racer feeling still or a fast and furious enthusiast either way the other two guys never did the work that Elvis does. They have all brought something different to the table I would love to see an episode where they all come back
You totally misconstrue the wants of the vast majority of Evo owners. Performance mods, bigger brakes etc yes but not crappy graphics.
@@tracktimevideos5164 It's not a project car, It's a quick flip on a budget....
These stickers absolutely ruined the car 🤯😡🤬😰 I can’t believe you actually did this really such a dumb idea
Was he seriously going to reuse a bearing from a wrecked engine? That dude is a serious jack.
Did these guys just rebuild a whole engine in less than 10 minutes lol
Every boy racers dream when it was rallying in the wrc. That gold graphics in the fast and the furious ruined it. If u gonna stick graphics on it least make it look like a rally replica imo
2k on graphics?
I absolutely love the show, and love what you do, always have, but my god why would you stick a ridiculous wrap like that on it? And £1900 quid too....Jesus!!!!
Chav stickers. Trust Mike brewer to ruin it with shitty touches to finish it off 🤣🤣
Elvis vs ant vs edd which one better?
Those stripes, lightning bolts look horrible.
Nearly 2k on the graphics……. No! They would come right off
Don't know why, but over the years the mechanical scenes in Wheeler Dealers gets more inferior to the 'commercial concept' of the show. Too bad. I switch to the TH-cam channel of Edd China's Workshop Diaries.
Mike Brewer watched 2Fast2Furious and saw Paul’s Evo and thought he’d do the same.
The wrap would be popular when this car is made, but not now!
Mike's had a lot on his plate recently
You dont "run in" big end bearing. Does he know it runs on oil and not the actual bearing
He forgot about £7000 in labour costs. You can buy a decent one for 15k with its original engine 🙄
CT9A evos are getting expensive especially IX with mivec engine
@@MrGembelo they are but in the UK where I am there are plenty of good ones for 15 to 20k.
Buen precio en Reino Unido!!aquí en España están muy caros uno bueno con volante a la izquierda desde 25.000 euros a 45.000 euros....qué pena que ya no se puedan matricular coches de reino Unido a España,saludos!!
@@SA-zoom1 could you please tell me which website or dealer to find one?
@@pride279 I live in the UK and you can find ones for sale on ebay, autotrader etc.
Which website did they found this?
0:04 Don't get over existing it just a UK E7 not JDM E7.
UK evos start as JDM cars with JDM vin numbers and were imported and converted by CCC rather than Mitsubishi. Also the best Evos like the FQ 400, FQ 360, and FQ 440 were all UK only models......even though they were converted from a JDM base car
Good old prince crankshaft grinder ground and polished a few shafts on them bad boys haha
Hope you paid your ULEZ. Can see your car wasn't compliant to drive the A38 through the city centre without being charged.
Sorry the wrong grafficks better make a fast and furious replica
Sorry to point this out, but it is actually spelled, Graphics.
@@calibrazxr750 maybe,just maybe guess he's not from the UK How many languages do you know?
@@gavinwyllie7855 two fluently and two more well enough to get by. But ultimately, it is simply intended to help that person to learn and improve. How will he get it right in the future, if no one tells him?
My mates old evo. It was a regular at knockhill racing circut in Scotland getting its ass kicked. And no, it wasn't my mate that blew the engine up.
This show always omits the labor cost
Yea its pretty ridiculous. They should add standard shop rates
I would not have added that wrap, it makes it look bad imo
The stickers make it look like a wrx in combination with the colour. Which is a great car, but why make its arch enemy look like it?
Wow Brewer has been eating many pies for sure !
Great car. Too bad you spent so much on ugly decal
Tolerances in inches rather than mm? Really???🤦
Nice work Mark doing the journal polishing rather than sending off to a machine shop though 👍
Is this the one they made rwd
Awful, absolutely awful. 6k for the base is a steal, too.
POR FAVOR, SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL.
Almost 2000£ for a wrap. I would put those money on something else, thats for sure
I sold my silver 7 with 380 bhp and 40k on the clock for 5 k about 10 years ago 😢
Guys this isn't the 2000s anymore that graphics look hideous.
Honestly dont get why you would add graphics. This has been done in previous episodes, cheapening the final result.
I thought WD were past these tacky mods...
A rod out of a block usually indicates a high torque output from the engine. I'd imagine that car was remapped beyond what the toothpick factory rods could handle. Not to mention the amount of idiots that put the "pops and bangs" maps on that do the engine no favours.
No mention of the turbo that would have had all that swarf pass through it either.
How would bottom end debris have made its way though the exhaust into the turbo?
@@patrickdixon4945 bottom end swarf will have contaminated the oil and without any question of a doubt. It would have been drawn up the strainer and pushed through the oil feed pipe into the turbo. You would never get bottom end contaminants through the exhaust side of a turbo, unless a piston had broken up
show was never the same after Edd left…
Holy crap i was saying I recognize him..he looks really familiar...
Would love to know how elvis became an F1 mechanic! Always been a dream of mine to be one!!
read his book. Lots of details how he got the role, his rise through the ranks, crazy stories with Kimi and overall a fun read and highly recommended. I think the book is called "The Mechanic: The Secret World of the F1 Pitlane"
Please drive the me bean car ones in top speed
Is funny that this video came up i just pulled the engine out of my blue by you evo 8 it threw a rod trhough the block at 30 psi
Waste of money on that wrap
Graphics make it more difficult flip and ruin the beauty and classiness of the car.
Otherwise nice work.
Should’ve done themed ralliart stickers
Love, love, LOVE Mike's enthusiasm! That's a pretty sweet Evo.
What about labour and fluids. The costing on these videos are beyond a joke.
the reason WD is dead ...2k on that wrap.... makes me feel sick.
LOVELY car and great work but that wrap is horrible!!!
Элвис❤ Обожаю тебя!❤
Elvis mate, get out while you still can. Properly lost it's way wheeler dealers, unfortunately they all seem too. You have to look for youtube show to get something more real these days.
The worst thing about wheeler dealers is Brewer, he thinks he is that important he keeps saying , ME and ED, ME and ANT, Me and Elvis when they should be first, also it’s not ANYFINK it’s anything, the program is not about Brewer …
Should be Ed and I, or Elvis and I etc.
You payed £5500 to much and the wrap sorry NO it is disgusting, Mike you usually have good taste in cars what's happened.🤷♂️🤦♂️
