2005 Evo 8: The Decontamination Process
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2023
- Even though I got a "beater" car, I still had to give it a proper OG decontamination wash. After all, just because it's new, doesn't mean it's clean.

I feel like the Evo content is going to be the most popular on your channel.
At this date is the Civic but this one will blow up in views
A Matty car for the peoples!
When’s he selling it 🤔🙄
@@bestcrazyboy8487 Who cares just a car at the end of the day, you can’t get attached to them. Gotta do what’s fun and makes sense.
@Gangsterlife333 yup this is just a prop for his YT/business doesn't matter one bit will be gone soon
Considering how immaculate this evo is and how much attention to detail you'll give it, I think it would be best to cover the car in ppf. Also, it's BRAND NEW! When do you ever come across it?! With any car for that fact! We just know you'll look after it regardless. Looking forward to this project mate 👍🏻
Even while I sit here watching this video at 31 years of age. 2005-2006 Lancer Evolution is still my dream car. Graphite Grey was my dream color too. Hope this series blows up!
This video reminds me of when I first discovered your channel. I would watch you clean the blue 991 GT3 and white F80 and note each step in the process. I learned a lot over the years and keep learning through this channel. This has got to be pretty cool for new viewers who are watching for the Evo.
yeah same.
I have to say, the more I modded my Evo, the less fun it was to drive even though it became a lot faster. OEM plus is definitely the way to go.
I owned a 2009 350z (bought new, the last of them) for 10 years; would love to see Matty get a mint version of that and modify it, for nostalgia's sake.
Definitely PPF. The next owner will thank you when you decide to do a giveaway on it in 6 months!
I love the comment about cleaning the engine and just cleaning the car up in general. I DO NOT understand it either Matt 😂
Matt, definitely PPF this thing! No matter how much of a driver thing thing becomes it’ll always somehow end up being the lowest mileage example roaming the streets! May as well protect your investment from ever needing any paint work
Matt I would only PPF the headlights, bumpers, mirrors and side skirts. Jescar correction compound and finishing polish would really make the grey pop! Looking forward to more videos on this car.
In my opinion the PPF is worth it due to the condition and value of the vehicle. Looks so good man
I feel like all of this Evo stuff will take OG channel to another level and business will BOOM even more! Matty, get ready! #blessings 😎✨🎉
I am very happy to see the Evo on your channel now! I hope there is more to come! 😎 Greetings!
Matt, as a long time OG viewer, I suggest getting ppf on the front clip, and rocker panels/ rear bumper if you don't do mud flaps. PPF will give the obsessed mind, peace of mind
This channel has really.... evolved ...over the years.
This is so relaxing
Please drive this one.....for us😂
Congratulations on the Evo they have a great history, I am looking forward to this. OG🤛
Check out a wiper delete from an RS model, and you should keep those oem Brembo rotors, girodisc is nice but it will barely make a difference. Also I would keep the 8 front bumper, it’s in excellent condition and one less thing to paint, and if you swap to a 9 bumper you have to buy all the mesh grills and everything with it
We need a t shirt saying
"Clean your jambs and you will feel better"
Really really digging the filming style for this video. Looks great
Don't get me wrong, I like the old school Matty vlog style videos more but this is nice 👌
The Evo Bro’s are gonna love this build 😂
Loved this..going to enjoy learning about this car!!👍🏾👍🏾
Best build yet imo
One thing I freaking HATE about silver/grey cars…. The body panels are all a different color
Matt what you need is another video on a 30,000 dollar stereo…
Ive been watching OG since the beginning.... While I love the M2 and the GT3 Rs's you've had... This will be by far the coolest car on your channel, with the exception of the black S2000!
I can't wait for the giveaway.
Really looking forward to this content. What makes me chuckle is that is a MINT already fabulously CLEAN car, and to Matt it's filthy. I don't know what your weather and roads are like over there but ours just do not allow that level of clean lol.
Enjoy the beater! ;)
Looking forward to the progression of this build as an evo owner of 16 years! I'll admit, I did cringe a little when I didn't see a towel stuffed into the snorkel because the filter sits right at the top of it pretty much. Also, I would at the very least PPF the hood, fenders, and front bumper as the oem Mitsubishi paint is VERY thin and chips super easily.
Why in the world would you want a stock Evo? They are terrible.
@@ObsessedGarage I think you replied to the wrong guy LOL
Wanted one of these back in the day. Fun little car.
Finally a real car
I think you should keep the EVO 8 bumper for a while, see if it grows on you.
9 Bumper is much nicer, BUT the 8 Bumper with a nice quality Carbon lip especially on this color is a really good look as well.
Personally I think the evo 8 bumper looks better than the 9.
8 bumper with a nose chop is the best option. But I love a IX bumper.
Agree with the jdm rear bumper, its the way its supposed to look. The usdm bumper is bigger for crash regulations. A carbon lip on the 8 bumper would look great aswell
maddddd excited for this
Which polish are you going to use on the car?
I have a 1 month old GR Corolla Circuit Edition that has pretty good paint so I’m looking for something with a very minimal cut to it and just something to bring out the gloss to prep for Ceramic Coating.
Oh and I really likes the music at the start of the video!
I had an EVO 8, red, when it came out. I used to run the canyons in Malibu at speeds and cornering grips that were upsettingly high. I miss it every day.
Here for the Evo content !
Can't wait for more videos on this
The Evo brought me here for sure !
Here for the Evo!
Wow. That takes me back 20 years. It was 2003 and I bought a brand new Evolution VIII with the only 2 available options in yellow. The Enkei wheels, Brembo brakes, Momo steering wheel, Recaro seats....cool as can be. No mods, sold it after 1 year for a G35. Oh, and how 'bout that BLUE BRZ in the background!!!
PPF 100% do it for future generations
I also like the TRC clay towels. I fold them twice to reduce the flop and prevent pressure points, and flip as I go. A big part of safe claying is eliminating pressure points and being able to conform to the panel without applying pressure. That said, those clay scrubbers from TRC are legit. They're even better if you use them from a bucket so that you have extra liquid in them. When used properly, they won't mar like a traditional clay or the Nanoskin Autoscrub. The scrubby surface on the backside works great for bug removal too. I've tested both the clay side and the scrubber side on freshly corrected/ unprotected black paint and they will not scratch.
I like to mix up a couple gallons of clay lube in a clean bucket, then fill my bottle from there so I don't have to do math or try to measure very small amounts.
The slip had me howling 😂
Matt, that Evo deserves PPF!
Protect it at all cost
Matt, no way will this car be a DD😂. It’s too clean/unique/special for a DD with the low miles. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with the car. I’m not a PPF guy…
Nice car men!
Matt buy yourself a Hazet 850-E12 Socket 1/4" Square Torx E12 for the toolbox. This was a nice tool find for Porsche header installs. I don't think anyone else makes a 1/4 drive E12.
It's in transit!
Dont know if youve sourced a wiper blank already but killallwipers do wiper deletes. They sit flush and look real clean. Thats who ive always used.
Ordered!
I second this! They are the cleanest delete kits out there
19:20 Matty is Full JDM
Boi. We got BRZ’s in the house!
I buy a new F150 every 2 years and the last three I’ve had to do PPF because their paint sucks. It’s made me a believer, coatings are one thing but film is on another level.
Absolutely no to PPF all the way around! somewhere between 25%-50% of the overall value of the car. Unless you have so much money/time that you just want to throw $7,500 worth of PPF at it, I'd say, a nice polish/paint correction with a nice coat of something will do. You said it yourself, "BEATER CAR"
You gotta let go Matt :)
You realize he spent $78k on this, right? Your math sucks.
YESSSSS!
I love evos from 1-X and it’s sad that Mitsu will never gonna produce but I still have hopes to resurrect but not in a suv form lol. Evo guys are called the Emperor
For me, to make it official to be your beater car, don't put PPF on it. Just go with a ceramic coating. Probably a coating thats new to the market to try and test too.
I vote PPF!
Side skirt extensions, nose shop the 8 bumper, ohliins coil overs, white line roll center kit. 10.5” TE37s and 275s, JDM rear bumper. Throw all the bolt ons on a flex fuel setup make 450 AWHP. you will make great content, and lots of people will enter this giveaway.
Also ditch that MR trans. They are made of glass. Gsr trans is plenty for around 450-550. Tuck your throttle cable under the intake manifold.
STM got you. My bro can weld you up some beautiful parts.
STM...FTW!!! did all my mods!!!!
I’m needing some cinnamon roll contact soon
That intro is very reminiscent of the corn hub intro 😂
Id say ppf the front clip, and the high impact areas
Don’t ppf it. Csl & exo or give the new p&s defender a try as a topper. That would be a cool review to add to this series
You know LZ he has the parts to transform the Evo within a day or two 🤞
🤢 don’t let that clown touch this thing Matt!!!
❤no mods on the car yet? C’mon
Hahaha
I had an electric blue GSR Evo 9 and really enjoyed that car when I had it ….you will enjoy this car
Volk Racing would look great on it
PPF the high impact areas (front clip and mirrors) and you should be good to go.
Mind the gap (hose) Matt 😂
Mr. magic Mike!
Just curious, are you redoing the polishing packages and adding/removing products or are you just adding more things? Planning on polishing my car soon and I’m chomping at the bit to do it.
If you going to get to 100 K in mods do the PPF, less wear and tear on those Publics runs
They do a rear wiper delete yes, it is just a grommet that fills the hole. Cool fact the JDM cars don't have a rear wiper so no hole in the rear window.
Skip the PPF - it's good to mix up the content and the ownership experience instead of the same, wash, rinse, repeat across every vehicle.
Get the fluids & maintenance changed/fixed and drive this thing!
PPF it. Even if you don't keep it you can Justify the expense of keeping it immaculate for the next owner.
Yes to PPF. My feeling is that you never like to do things half way. Why start now?
Did you notice any marring from using the Ultra clay sponge? I'm about to do the same but not planning on polishing tho
Just used up my last bit of chemical guys citrus red 😢
Id test a new coating. I'm really enjoying gyeon atm.
If you count the mini splits, this is technically series 4 on Mitsubishi content.
If it was mine I would just get the paint slick! Whatever it takes! Then I would protect it with some kind of wax -coating of choice! Then I would just enjoy it! I wouldn’t PPF it but that’s just my opinion 👍
I’m curious is there any other ego generation that you would like to have. You mentioned you originally wanted a 9 but what about the 4’s and 5’s? Also I have a feeling you’re gonna end up getting another one.
Id do at least the front half with PPF. Japanese paint is thin and soft.
you should keep the evo 8 front bumper but i think jdm rear bumper would be a good call
de badging would look really nice too
Best name for EVO guys.... Evoangelistics
Atleast do PPF on the front, if you don’t wanna spend the money for the whole car.
Do a 03 cobra
The PPF is a harder pill to swallow on this car because it’s “just a Lancer”, but I would do it purely because Mitsubishi paint doesn’t hold up as well as what you’re used to
just a Lancer! shiiiiii OEM long block and 610 at the wheels my 9 would take offense lol, I have followed OG detailing since I owned my baby and the paint is still immaculate, smooth as a babies bottom!!!
You just hit something with the Evo content. Look at the amount of views my Evo videos got and they are literally nothing special lol.
Yes PPF, Japanese paint is soft, repainting the car will not be the same
Its a beater meant to be driven, no PPF necessary
Bro I love the videos, I watch almost everyone of them and og drying aid is top notch... but you gotta ditch that mtm with that corny quick disconnect, it makes it too top heavy and get the new mjjc foam cannon s v3.0 or at least try some other new foam cannons with the wide mouth. Just saying.
Didn’t get the “not very good at the beater part”? @2:23 what does that mean? Inside joke I missed from a prior video?
Also, have you had the chance to try out the bigboi electric sprayer/foamer?
Well he bought the car as a beater (something that you would hardly care about on the condition as long as it drives and serves it's purpose) and as you can see, it's a freaking immaculate top of the line Evo 8 with extremely low mileage. Unfortunately for Matt, his OCD won't let him do that.
His ocd won’t let him drive it? True but I think that’s part of the reason why he got the car, right? He wants to drive more often
Front suspension seems to sit high.
Yeah, it's way too high for me.
Is there a video out there explaining why you got the 8?
Check out my video from last week, with Chris and Anthony.
PPF it, don't hesitate! Haha.
Kill All Wipers for your rear wiper removal needs
Looks like it still has shipping pucks under front shocks.
It's on the lift now. No shipping blocks.
I thought so, too. The front wheel gap is SO much bigger than the rear!
Advan RG's are the only wheels for this car
I spy a M18 dual battery blower. What are your impressions? I’m eager to know
It's good. Really good.
