"BRO you ever tried NOS? It looks like a N2O can but it's energy drink bro."
Hey it's you. How's it.
Ford Fucking Mustang when?
Nos tastes like shit
RCR collab when?
Oh shit
i once nearly crashed cos i saw an evo 6 while i was driving and i was too busy doing finger guns to him to steer
This is such an RCR comment and I love it
Bro i did this a couple of days ago with a supra 😬😅 and my wife yelled at me lol

Same here, *probably* nearly crashed into a Civic EK9 Type R on my third day learning how to drive a motorcycle/scooter. Nearly sideswiped the EK9 on an oncoming lane because how marvelous it looks rather than noticing & distracted from far away.
As a mitsubishi employee in kurashiki i am happy the Evo's Spirit still roams the earth!
It most certainly does! There won't be anything like it again.
@@FinnishCarGuys yeah our children and grand children may be amazed that one day we drove cars. Like the elevators and trains of today, all automatic, just 1 operator.
@@kendelion Don't really want to self-advertise, but will anyway... There's a vid on our channel of an Evo IX drifting on snow ;)
@@FinnishCarGuys cool! Definitely will watch! I actually appreciate the info. Evo in its natutal habitat! I have kei cat and motorbike vids on my channel too for contrast!
Will Mitsubishi ever return to WRC??
I’d love one but I’m scared of them. Not the car but what the previous owner might’ve done with it.
I felt the same way you did, but I still went ahead and got mine. it's been 7 years now and it's been as reliable as a normal car. Don't let preconceived notions from the internet scare you away.
I'm all for the Evo 9 as my next car just because there is zero financial risk. You know these cars are going to appreciate in value. Everyone that grew up admiring these cars are just now beginning to get a job and afford them. Also, it's a good idea to strip down the entire car and give it a extensive cleaning and oiling. That will get you familiar with what problems it may have and what needs to be fixed. I want to keep mine stock forever and just rack up thousands of smiles.
@@markm0000 You're absolutely right. My old Evo VIII has been my absolute favorite car to date. I've owned F bodies, an sti, a 450hp 335i, a Terminator mustang, and a c5 z06. The only car I truly regret selling is my Evo. It was tame by Evo community standards (only 400hp/tq), but it took an absolute beating every time I drove it, and it NEVER broke.
Yeah these are one of these cars that were always ridden hard and put away wet. People beat the ever living shit out of them, finding one that isn't a lemon, original and not monkeyed with is a rarity. Same thing with Mark IV Supras, that's one reason stock ones are so expensive, none of them left.
The import guys are a totally different owner group than Corvette guys, literally there are 25 different C4 and C5 Corvettes for sale in my area with less than 20k miles on them in showroom stock, collector grade #1 or #2 condition.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 That just means that whoever bought from you had to fix all this shit you abused.
Ah, the best kind of fast : down to earth, drivable everyday, not overly complex, respecting cars original purpose and design.
But unreliable. Cause Mitsi...
@@CrayonsYummyYummyI've heard that engine is reliable when stock. The reason everyone says it's not reliable... is because finding one stock is nearly impossible.
Mitsi>Subaru reliability any day of the week.
@@robmanueb. Blasphemy. Mitsi/Evos have the most fragile transmission while the STi trans is pretty much bullet proof. And while EJ ain't nothing special, its still more reliable than a 4G lol. I would know, my mate currently owns an Evo 9MR and i used to own a GC8 STi. And i can tell ya from first hand experience those Evo's are a money pit. Subaru may not be the most reliable brand out there but its still a million times better than fucking Mitsubishi lmao.
@@SI0AX Yeah true that. 4G's are pretty good engines as long as they're not molested.
Not long ago Mitsubishi was cool and Hyundai were cheap low end cars. Today Hyundai is a premier manufacture and Mitsubishi is hanging on for dear life. Things change.
Marc Scordato Mitsubishi still has huge cars sale numbers in Europe, Asia and Australia. And in NA they’re starting to climb again. But I think Mitsubishi has lost their spirit. Their lineup in the 80s, 90s and even early 2000s was among the best a car manufacturer could offer. So many cars that were cool. Nowadays it’s different...
@@grunkohlaktionar7474 I don't know about among the best, Nissan at its peak was something incredible in the 90's with the GTR, S-Chassis, Pulsar, and ZX chassis
Hurr1canE most manufacturers had a very good lineup in this time. Miss it
Hurr1canE
In my view both nissan And Mitsubishi as well as Acura all seem like there glory days are behind them. Nissan recently bought into Mitsubishi under the Renult umbrella .

5:47 This feels like a moment straight of an anime, the two sworn opponents come up to each other but they're going their own way, acknowledging each other's presence but bidding their time before coming at each other's throats
Also your comment about early 2000's cars, it's absolutely true. Ive owned two, currently an '04 WRX, and my first car was my dad's base model 2000 Jetta, which he bought new a month before I was born. He drove it until he got a 2013 Elantra, and it waited 3 years until I got my license. Had a lot of fun with it but it didn't last long because it was an old car that spent it's entire life in Quebec and New Hampshire, which meant rust (and if you've been to Quebec you will know how abysmal the roads are). So I drove it from the time I got my license until around Christmas 2017 when all the rust finally took it's toll on the car, I got the WRX in spring 2018, and I've done no mods so far (on that tight college budget now)
Edit: if anyone wants to know, the Jetta was a 5-speed bought in October '99

The Benjamin and Beastie Boys example seems awfully specific lol

I do not enjoy the beastie boys. Anecdotal, sure, but i like a LOT of stuff. 😜

@@angelgjr1999 when you're ready, 300whp is a great number to step up to in my opinion.

upgradedBACON 300 is fine for an AWD car. But have you ever tried Corning in the rain with a rwd car? Can be dangerous.
A lot of guys claim their great drivers, but in reality it’s the engine stability control/traction control/ABS that is saving them.
@@angelgjr1999 276 awd is okay. 350 rwd is where the real fun begins.
Reminds me of the good days of being a kid and watching rally racing of this evo on TV ripping through dirt tracks with all 4 wheels spinning and wishing I had one.

2006 would be mid-2000's there, buddy.
@@simpsonfan13 You're right. But I guess my point remains pretty much the same bud 😁
wow i actualy really like the way it spools up. its parallel with the engine acceleration so it accelerates quickly and efficiently
Drove this on snow not long ago. At no point did I say to myself: "I wish this evo had more power."
Finnish Car Guys that is kind of true but i have 338 who and 339 tq on an evo 8 and i can say i now have a 2014 evo x stock and do wish it had more power but i would prob be saying the same thing as u if i never had the evo 8 or just had it stock
Mitsubishi awd on snow is sketchy at best. It's good, but sketchy. Like would I trade it for fwd? No. But would I trust my buddy to drive my sketchy awd mitsubishi other than in a snowy parking lot.. Also probably no. You have to get a feel for how it responds in snow conditions. Over steer and understeer can be controlled but it won't do what you'd expect say a fwd or rwd to do in many situations.
@@epoxeclipse Wouldn't probably trust it to a non car-guy buddy either, you definitely need to know what you're doing with it. But when you do it's absolutely brilliant on snow. Not sketchy. There is a reason why it's a very very common rally car around here. And those are mostly stock ones as well.
epoxeclipse i have never had any prob in the snow awd is way better then fwd or rwd u never drove one i can tell how would it be sketchy in pa it snows a lot and i have zero prob even when i had bald summer tires
@@Ghettofireman80 you should watch my channel and you can see me drifting my awd mitsubishi in the snow, I also autocross maybe I can provide some literature for you to read regarding how awd is the most difficult to tune for cornering in dry and wet conditions because differentials fight each other. It's not my opinion on the matter it's physics.
As an evo owner(not stock at all) i can say that the 4g63 is strong af. Iron block with a closed deck. Ive seen multiple stock block evos pushing 400 easy and upwards of 500hp. For a 4 banger its def top 3 all time no questions!
the problem is the people tuning them throwing all kinds of bullshit parts ont the block.
Turns out you gotta live in italy to get Rcr uploads at a decent time of the day. It’s 10am here rn.

12 PM here in Bahrain
4:20am Real Time, right meow
I've driven a 2010 Evo once a while back. It was stock at the time. Nice car, didn't take it on any open roads but it was cool to meddle around with. I like the big ass subwoofer they tack into the trunk lol.
I've always had a soft spot for turbo AWD sedans with a manual. I got a B7 Sline 2.0T because I couldn't afford an Evo. Swapped the turbo to a GTX2867R and DIY tuned. Puts a smile on my face every day. I know its not an Evo but I like to pretend it is lol
I'm glad I live in a state where front license plates aren't required.
Im glad i live in a state where you need 80 licenseplates all over your car so fight me irl bro
My state requires them but I don't have it mounted

@@tailopez5106 there's no worries of getting pulled over or fined?
evo’s are so cool. i’ve been seeing the same two here in my city for the past decade and i’m pretty sure they’re just driving to work. must be a fun commute
To all those who haven't owned/driven an evo (regardless of year), it is not a chick magnet, gold digger, boy racer, richer type of car. From experience, it's purely an enthusiasts car. Nothing but you and the road which is what we don't get much of nowadays. Some comfort but the feeling you get driving these underrated beasts is like the time you first get your full license. Mechanical is all I can say of that means anything.
This is about exactly how I feel towards tuning my Forester XT. The car is really fun as-is, and trying to wring more out of the engine will almost certainly end in sadness. Some bolt-on piping and maybe a tune to smooth out any bumps in the stock one are all it needs.
rcr’s paid promotion is best paid promotion
You can find 4G63s all day just have to get them from Japan and wait a month
My friend stockpiles bottom ends from lesser 4 cylinder Mitsubishi's, mainly Eclipses and builds them up. As long as his cylinder head is intact, he's good to go.
Its i4t expensive but here in America our dsms were made in Illinois, so 6 and 7 bolts are relatively easy to get your hands on
No overnight parts from Japan?
4g64
Would love to keep one of those forever, had many Lancer’s but non evos ! They are great 👍
I’ve seen almost the exact same setup on a dark blue evo 8 in my neighbourhood. The owner appearently dailies it and I admire him for it tbf. I always wanted an evo and it’s still one of my dream cars. Seeing this makes me want to get one even more.
car equivalent of a highschool boy tsundere
My sides are in orbit, thanks dawg
how... is this accurate?
HOW
Back in March of 2007 I bought a brand new EVO IX GSR.. amazing car I have ever owned no regrets..
The build you mentioned, is the perfect Evo. Thank you.
The only time where staying up at 4AM has benefited me.
Idk. My evo 8 went through 3 iterations of turbos, started with the evo 8 turbo, then evo 9, then 20g and finally a fp black. Made 465awhp on pump gas. Never had any reliability issues. I still miss that car so much! The 6 speed transmission in the MR is glass though.
Colton Ratcliffe I’m over here like I went stock 8 turbo to a bbk full on 31.5 psi on e85 to now a fp black and 172,xxx miles on the stock block looking to make 550awhp lol.
@@1990ef8 it's too easy to get bored with the power haha the car always feels slower lol
Colton Ratcliffe dude I think the bbk full has been my favorite turbo so far. Always caught me off guard lol.
“The center console wobbles around like GM made it.”
😂😂 That was great!
add cams and a tune to the list and you got reliable 350-400hp (depending on the supporting mods). These engines can handle 400hp good with stock internals.
I agree however, these engines can handle whatever hp, 400wtq is where it gets sketchy if we're talking stock driveline
@@MR_3vilution thats what i was referring to. Rods start bending at that torque.
*5-600hp 400tq
what id give for an evo GT wagon
Shame that was a JDM special only! There's a few being exported to Europe every few months.
Those exist?!?!
@@sqhatr yeah. If you do a Google Evo magazine did a review. Limited numbers but they do exist.
They even made two FQ360 versions of the wagon! One in the UK, and one in NZ.
Few people know this but Volvo made from '96 to '04 the V40 wagon which shared the same chassis with the Mitsu Evo. Some parts like brakes and suspension components are somewhat interchangeable. If you can get a T4, you get a 2 liter turbo with around 200 HP, but it's underrated and with easy mods you can easily go to 250+, some with a manual too, but only in FWD. I don't know if they were sold in the US though. Here in Europe they dirt cheap and a lot of fun.
I love the vid of Jeremy Clarkson smacking around a Murcielago in an Evo 8!
Oh come on, I drove around for 3 years, 47,000 miles making 650 wheel on e85, if I had to use 91 Californian piss, I made about 475ish wheel.
That's 47,000 after the build, without ever having to tear it down, get stuck on the side of the road or have any major problems. As long as you do things right, there is no reason the 4g63 has to be any less reliable than any other motor. Evos are fragile because stupid and cheap people like them as much as people who know how to and can afford to build a proper car.
Edward Agora Feenman this is true for pretty much every car. Don’t be a idiot and treat it with respect and for the most part it won’t break
@@aidancloke4398 exactly... But... Some cars, they have their fatal flaws or Achilles heels no matter how well pampered they are.
Edward Agora Feenman that is true. You can only modify within reason before pistons exit your engine
During the original review he kept saying how unreliable they are but I couldn’t help but think that’s wrong. It’s rare for me to see an ego engine blow up in my area/“scene”
Yep my Evo 8 is fully built and puts down 700whp and its very reliable.
Okay, the reason why Evo's blow up is because a lot of tuners suck. There's a dude local to me pushing 500whp on a stock bottom end Evo 8 with 150k miles on it. Given that's on e85 and on 93 he makes 450, which is still respectable. Tuner is Drunkmann tuning, if you want to see it run.
It also depends on how the owner treats it. You can make everything out of bullshitium and still blow things if you drive the car into the ground like an idiot.
Boost with stock bottom, so pretty much a cheap ass fucking idiot.
in the center console moving around like GM made it😂😂
I get the "you're number one" wave all the time, but I don't always notice until I look up from my phone.
Big wheels looks stupid
Small wheels with lots of rubber looks much better
@@JK061996 Bigger wheels allows for better brakes and that may lead to more late braking passes like the one Ricciardo is known for. Couple that to the upcoming changes for 2021 and racing might get much more exciting.
The 13' rim rule for F1 is old, implementeted decades ago, manufactures no longer make tyres of that size, apart from economy cars in emergent countries, which means F1 data doesn't translate well to mass markets like many other technologies that trickle down from F1 to passenger cars. Time to move on.
@@Arthurzeiro shorter braking zones mean less passing under braking, not more
gullf1sk And they are XXR’s on top of that 🤢
so you like your tires looking like Bellybuttons?
@@Arthurzeiro lmao u really believe F1 cars are related in any way to road car design? LOL why do I see so many of your types try and defend the FIA's bullshit with more bullshit they made up to justify making boring cars no one cares about to please the manufacturers?
F1 has nothing in common with road cars, never has and never will. Don't fall for the marketing gimmicks.
450whp. 4 years. Not a single problem for reliability other than the usual parts that need replacing with old cars. Except the IAC which was a cheap fix.
Also if you think there is no aftermarket support for the 4g63 to rebuild etc if you blow yours up, you'd be mistaken... because you can take em out of a lot of different vehicle models. Here in Australia it's limited to just Sydney for all the Evo parts haha, but getting parts from Japan imo..far easier for the US to get em than Australia.
I love these types of videos! Thank you rcr
More accurate review of an Evo than the first/last Evo review 👍🏻
Al those leafs in the inter cooler
ive owned my evo 8 for 3 years and its been on 26 psi on a evo 9 turbo for that amount of time and ive had literally 0 problems with it its ran very good and i keep up on all the maintenance i literally just got done driving a 600 mile trip to the mountains and it did totally fine i also daily drive it and man oh man im never getting rid of it if you take care of them they'll never let you down
Since when is the STI considered a "reliable" car? I seriously don't recall hearing about people blowing up Evo motors as often as EJ's.
From ownership the 4g63 is reliable as hell. The parts attached to it however are questionable.
Mr. Reg is not known to have the most accurate info. Everyone knows EJ25 are ticking time bombs stock. If you do headstuds and rod bolts on a 4g63 they can take way more power than any other part of the drivetrain can.
@ You're kind of right on that. I have heard of gearboxes in Evos letting go for sure.
@@SwapBlogRU
I saw a beautiful (storm?) Metallic grey evo 8 do just that at Santa Pod in the UK last summer. Understandably the owner didn't look too pleased! Was a beautiful car, too. Hopefully she's fixed and back on the road again!
SwapBlogRU only you amerifats got the 2.5L Everyone else was using EJ20s that weren’t oversized cos MUH DISPLACEMENT
That top mount also shortens the plumbing for the forced induction system and lets you spool faster.

Damn, Megan coilovers, and xxr’s and Sumitomo tires now part of a “prime build”? So many better choices that are quality parts that could have been made....
Besides the stock turbo location being slightly restricted, the Neon Srt was meant to be able to go big turbo for cheap right out of the factory. Turbo, 3bar map, n the tune and you're making decent power on the stock injectors
i only get my air conditioners from Mitsubishi
Does it have a turbo?

Thanks for the birthday present, Mr Regular!
Remember when this channel did funny videos about bad cars and not just circle jerks to cars every youtuber who talks about cars has covered?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
@ RCR got caught up in the car journalist mindset there for sometime, once reviewing cars that you see rolling around everyday, giving an interesting insight into their nature and why they are what they are, to getting caught up in "enthusiast" culture. There's nothing wrong with enthusiasts at all, we all are on this channel, he's just still wrapped up in the side of car culture that requires MAJOR expendable income. Calling a 30k 06 MR affordable is insane, not many people can afford that kind of money to throw into their cars. Maybe 5k into an SN95 or S127, Camaros, Honda's, Etc. But the insane cars he's been reviewing and the money and freebies he's been getting have maybe been making him lose sight? These aren't regular cars, not anymore
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR CAR REVIEWS! 😩🙌🏼
When are we getting Regular Video Game Reviews featuring The Roman?
Can totally attest to this video. I've been dailying a 2005 Evo IX for 5 years and put 80,000km on it. I've got a greddy titanium cat back, tomei down pipe, plazmaman intercooler piping, an apexi intake, weds wheels and a set of tein coilovers. 300hp at all 4 with good tyres is useable power at any point all day. It's about to hit 200,000km and has been totally reliable. Just kept ontop of the maintenance. Had it up for sale for 8 months but couldn't deal with selling it for the bottom dollar people are asking. It's daily duties are just about over. Time to become a weekender, restore some of it's daily blemishes and maybe up the power a little more ;)
Don't modify your Evo, just put this list of basic parts on it (from some questionable brands) so that they can all be the same!
"High thread count too."
Nice to see one of these in nice shape with tasteful upgrades. We never got the Evo 9 in Canada because the bumper wouldn't meet the low speed crash due to the intercooler placement, but the Neon SRT4 did meet the regs with the same intercooler placement, and Mitsubishi was too cheap to add bumper extensions.
I do like a clean Evo.
Also, the whole “Subaru has the intercooler wrong” speech is a bit wrong. This has already been debunked many times. Is it the most efficient? No. Is it “wrong”? Absolutely not.
ik this is a 2 year old comment, but i think its just a rcr joke instead of being serious
I've know guys with Evo's and guys with STi's, and the STi's EJ pops much more frequently than the 4G63. 4G63 engines that are POORLY TUNED do have issues but that can be said of almost any modified car.
Thats the nicest Evo I've ever seen.

I have an 06 wrx wagon, although the newer sedans area nicer place to be, they are slower, have less cargo space, and are overly tech laden; I enjoy my (mostly) analog experience. I can't believe how well these cars hold their value too; it's 14 years old and still worth a decent chunk of cash.
4g63 engines are known to be a lot stronger than any Subaru engine, I don’t know where you get your information from dude, but it’s definitely not from a reliable source
Thank you. I was thinking wtf provided this guy with his information lol
cot998 I know right? He’s definitely biased towards Subaru, I love wrx and evos , I’m not biased at all, I just state the facts, and the other thing I find funny is find parts, clearly he’s never heard of stm tuned or extreme psi
Lmao totally misinformed 4g63 is king I had 580hp and 402tq on a stock block evo 8 and I daily driven it until I sold it for something else don’t push up Tq numbers and these engines will last
The Forester he got tainted his brain :(
Maybe, but owners generally push the evo more and hence there goes the engine.
Uhhhh 4g63's are as solid as they come . Some had crank walk issues, sure. but 400 ish whp is no big deal on a stock 4g63. They just dont blow up with out a reason.
Check out the dsm scene for some enlightenment .
Rather buy an imported 1995 Evo 3.
Cheaper and better looking than this imo
Not legal yet
Tim Beck I can wait
I looked at a 3 before I got my 4 RS and its an awesome car but with high power it pulls to one side under boost, hence mitsi rotating the engine 180 for the 4. Then again all the racing DSM parts will fit it, not that many parts for the 4-5-6.
Also the 3 is super rare now, most are 1&2 with kits. And the evo 1&2 are legal for import to you guys now.

Evo X had a lot of improvements on the Evo 9. Evo X had a 50%~ stiffer chassis, better AWD system and an Improved/lighter motor with better heat displacement, dual MIVEC and some added creature comforts.

I'll admit to it, it's absolutely flimsy reasoning on my part, but I've never gotten over the apparent dimmed and watered down _raw_ driving experience from the previous gen's.
I mean, sure, the Evo X got a better and safer structure all around, better braking and better handling over its predecessors, no doubt. Newer cars will always perform better.
But the added heft of all the new additions (despite the shaved off weight from the engine and the use of Al all-around like usual), on top of the increased size seems to make the car even stockier and sluggish. Moving on from the 4G63 was also a bit sad.
(To be completely honest, I just don't like the tame looks and the aesthetic changes made to it)
I always thought the engines on these cars were pretty solid, but I'm not an expert. The thing is if you go drag racing with these AWD Subies or Mitsubishis, you will tear shit up, transmission syncros, differentials, axles, driveshafts etc. The only way to get a quick launch is a 6,000rpm clutch dump. Be easy on the launch gets you a 3 second 60' time because the car bogs/falls flat on its face.
ah yes, rust and xxrs, lovely
I'm a hardcore "Euro" guy, but I have a huge soft spot for the Evo.
Megan coilovers? Really?
and XXRs
oh my sides
Yeah wtf
junk
Yeah, let's criticize this guy for the parts he chooses to buy!
It's a giveaway car, it isn't going to have KWs and Volks on it.
You can get any 4g63 part from an eclipse , talon ect around the same era and you'll have no problem fixing ur evo
Earliest I've ever been. Nice:)
Yup just grabbed myself a 9 last year and i am sure i could get more for it than i paid last year. Classic yes it is.
jesus this guy knows absolutely nothing about evos
Not fair, my lifelong lust for an Evo to call my own will make me buy Primedriven's entire stock
Is it just me or is that wheel alignment off?
4g63 was also manufactured for the laser, eclipse, and talon so not that hard to find an engine for those as you claim.
Is every video after the Souprah gonna nod back to the Soopra?
How many different ways can I misspell Supra...
ummm Z4PRA ?

The reason every Evo and WRX ends up with a blown engine is that their owners can't leave well enough alone because YOU know better than the manufacturer.
