I Bought a DESTROYED Mitsubishi Evo IX At SALVAGE AUCTION!

EVO PARTS GIVEAWAY DETAILS THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO!

We've been on quite the losing streak in smoked and after buying this totaled Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 I was HOPEFUL we were going to turn our fortunes around!

I was wrong...

This Evo 9 went downhill from the start and it does NOT get better... From the Evo 8 parts we find, to the massive amount of rust and the crash damage, it's bad.. and we've yet to talk about the engine..

Buckle up team, this Lancer Evolution is one of the worst cars we've bought to date...

🚨NEWS ALERT 🚨

Doc said I was lucky to keep my leg & then mentioned something about “ScrapLife won’t ever ask you to contact them though shady messaging apps in the comments..”

As a Canadian who sees rusty cars all the time, I can tell you this car was actually not that horrible, it obviously had a few bad areas, but honestly, I would be willing to bet whoever owned it was simply using it as a every day car especially in the winter in a location that sees road salt, would've been very repairable before the crash, and the crash in general, you can see how the car crumpled up like it was supposed to, had it been extremely rusty it would've just mushed and the back seats would've been under the hood.

As a Canadian who has seen a few EVOs and just regular lancers, I can tell you the rust seems about right. That entire chassis is just built to rot. Front crossmembers rusting out are pretty common.

That Evo looks like my car in GTA before I head to Los Santos Customs

[davecolvin]

Hope you feel better soon Lee. Love the videos keep em coming.

This is genuinely the best auto channel on you tube right now.

This was my dream vehicle (evo 7) back in the day. When these first came to the states, these ended up being the most expensive vehicle to insure (state farm) because too many kids were wrapping them around telephone poles.

[jezcrook]

I think you 3 should be on the stage as comedians. I love your videos and can’t stop laughing. Keep up the great work.

[jacobhosler]

By the size alone of that GMC logo, probably a GMC Yukon XL.😂

[simoncz]

The car was destroyed even before the accident by the conversion itself. 90% widebody builds ends with ruined car and widebody without undercarriage = rust wherever water gets and remains.

[christian]

My guess on the GMC is the 2nd gen Yukon. More specifically a burgundy one with fading paint and 250k miles on the 2nd set of tires

[White_Z]

I love your content I been subscribed since you guys bought the lifted Miata from Chris I watch all your videos now 👍

[jacobtedder]

A GMC Sierra 1500 hit it for sure. Love the videos keep up the great work.

[Dzeld]

Holy crap that Evo got destroyed! Also "I hate Nissan Jukes!" Haha I hope they at least got a nice few joy rides out of it before it got smashed. Hope Lee feels better soon!

[jsmith]

Scrapped the rear ohlins! Damn those would have made a wicked giveaway and wall art !

On speaking about classic significant Mitsubishi and you didn't even mention the Eclipse, Galant, along with the 3000 GT and Evo. Honestly a clean white manual transmission 95-99 Eclipse GSX hard top in white with black interior making 550-700awhp and/or a hard top with no sunroof, manual Evo VIII or Evo IX in grey, blue, or white with CNC head, cams, turbo manifold, turbo, FMIC, downpipe, exhaust, built transfer case and transmission in both, flywheel and clutch, full rebuilt and upgraded brakes and suspension, lightweight 18x9.5 or 10" wheels and 265 or 275 tires. Either one making in the 550-700whp on E85 with suspension, brakes, body, wheels, weight pulled, and some interior upgrades would make for an extremely fast, comfortable, and awesome street/strip coupe or sedan to haul a 2 kids and wife in the Evo then strip the ESX down more and have a more purpose built coupe that's more strip but a little street. Both should easily run 9s depending on the traction and driver's testicular fortitude aka the driver not being a female reproductive gland and leaving on the 2 step ans side stepping the clutch on a prepped surface and super sticky tires. I can't wait to see Legit Street Cars finish the GSX he bought, because the 4G63 is a badass motor.

This car here in Brazil would be sold as Scrap, without the right to Circulation documentation.

[davebarron]

Looking at the rust, it looks like it spent a year in MI. Maybe a build? Find two or three vehicles of the same type and take parts from all three and make one good one? Parts is parts! Cheers!

[DBTechYT]

A Giant Mitsubishi Crusher smashed it!

[GdnMatrix]

Of course! Lee needed a way out of this mess, so the clipboard took control of the situation and put Lee out of his misery! ;-P Lee your getting soft bud!! Get well soon...hopefully ;-)
