Thanks for the upload.

Bought it new and still have it bone stock. And 😁

[lyzek]

Love your vids. I've had my evo for over 10 years and purchased many parts from MAPerformance. You guys have some of the best customer service. Keep it up.

[geardriven]

Love my Evo 9 bought it for 17k 9 years ago. Crazy to see them going for 30k+ now. Guess I can call it an investment now. Lol

[jayb]

Bought mine bone stock with 14k miles for 35k. 2 1/2 years later, It at 613whp and 26k miles 🔥🔥 love this car so much!

I like how he talks about Evo's while 3 out of 5 of the cars in his back ground are 2g DSM's lol

Dont forget :

ACD pump issues
Cabling in left front wheel arch
Keep an eye on oil pressure
Lifter tick

These were al my issues haha

[montycrain]

Is there any protection for the Achilles heal, what about a quaife LSD front diff. Maybe cryo treated gears ?

You can easily redo the clear coat on the spoiler.

[ttakiari]

I'm one of the lucky ones who picked up a AMS intake manifold 😉

[Patrick]

[melvinmeligrito]

So glad I got my evo unmodified wheew😁

[cdbnum]

I have one only 50k miles on it getting it fully built soon.

[evokami]

there's only one recommendation for owning an Evo and that is have a shit load of money saved

[TheLordofShell]

Willing to bet 95% of the supposed transfer case issues (not counting cars that get launched regularly) are due to improper filling of the oil

[NYC--BKK]

I’m holding onto my 2005 LY Evo 8….. I’m
the original owner and have about 26.5K miles on mine.

[CarlosTorres-fvok]

If you call 25k for an Evo 8 and 35k plus for a 9 reasonable. Then yeah you can find them for a reasonably cheap price.

[kwazkr]

Wish i could get parts like you guys in the u.s. Allways have to ship in stuff and then the gouverment want taxes over it.. so allways pay dubble.. doesn't change the fact that driving my jdm evo 8 is great tho

[codytaylor]

just make a video showing actually how much it cost for people who are interested modding it. motor build, drivetrain, suspension, etc
