Knowing what you know now about it being a built motor and heavily modified prior to you buying it, would you still have bought that exact car?

i mean its not a built motor just a different one but if i had to do it all again i would not. I wouldve 100% gone with an Evo X because they make more power stock block than an Evo 8/9 and handle the power better. The shop i go to has an Evo X making 709AWHP and the stock long block has like 100,000 miles. If you tried to replicate that with an 8/9 and it ACTUALLY LAST it would blow up forsure. The X is also much faster from a roll ive seen them spank cars making over 200-300whp more and they still give it the bus length gap

Once again Josh excellent video for the Evolution community Always enjoy your content and I must say because of you I bought myself my 1st evo It was gonna be one like yours except silver it wasn't in the cards though so I end up getting a 2014 evolution 10 and I love this car to death I haven't looked back since I already owned it for 3 years and I recommend this car to anyone that loves to have a smile on their face Every time you drive the car It's that addicting. Keep up the good work can't wait to see the next video

Under the hood bushing and shifter bushing was the best upgrade I’ve ever done stoped my grinding and also did b&m short shifter.

I can’t get enough of your black Evo, almost exactly what I had a few years ago. Now I have a final edition (with MR seats Recaros), but I still miss my IX. Think I need one of each generation.

You’d think Evo Community would have honest people when buying/selling but complete opposite got to watch out for sketchy people! When i bought my 8 I was lied to about so many things ended up replacing turbo & getting the head redone. Thumbs up 👍 from experience this video is a must watch before buying any evo. Evo = money pit 🤣

I''m an original owner of a IX SE. I have two buying/tuning tips: 1. If you come across an Evo like the one in the video, don't buy it. This should seem obvious, but apparently it's not. 2. This is how you uncork the motor on a IX: boost control, a fuel pump, a turbo-back exhaust, and a tune. That's it, nothing more. It's around 400hp with zero drawbacks. Anytime that you deviate from this you will have problems. Like this car, and I'm ignoring the pure bullshit about the MAF and the drivetrain. There's no reason to run E85 at such a mild state of tune and there's even less reason to convert to SD. The huge injectors will never run like stock, regardless of the skill of the tuner, and SD essentially amounts to taking a guess. Why do this? BTW, the MAP sensor is used to read boost, not the MAF. This car has aftermarket 272 cams, even though it had 272 cams in stalled at the factory. This brings me to the second part of this - if you decide to build an Evo, you need to know the platform better than the people doing the work. Just as with the cams, you need to know what you have. Josh seems like a nice guy and I don't want to rag on him or on his car. Just keep in mind that this isn't how it's done.

Good video Josh, over here in UK the 8's have the ACD as standard & therefore the 3 lights on means a pump rebuild. Also with the fluid service I always think it's OTT that some people change Transmission, T Case & Diff oil every single year even with low miles. Can understand dropping the engine oil, but Trans & Diff oils should be good for longer. I use Redline MT85 in my 8, which is meant to be the same as the cocktail you speak of already mixed.

Facts, however if you get the stock parts with the car. Sometimes having double of everything helps. Always keep in mind, if it’s not your first Evo you see it’s most likely a third or fourth. Some of these vehicles are becoming overpriced, specially in California. Good luck hunting 🤙

I always wanted a 9 due to the 4g63 but they’re so hard to find now and if you do find a good one the prices on them are ridiculous, the 10s are newer and aren’t so expensive most the time and for someone like me that’s only 20 and just started building my credit I can get one off the dealer and build my credit that way since I’m obviously not going to have all that money cash but I’m the future I for sure will get a 9 one day

Good video, however Credit Unions are not more lenient. For the most part it feels like that since they are not as regulated as bigger banks. I know you are trying to help, but don’t trash a bigger bank if you really are not in the finance industry. Don’t you think Credit Unions are in the business of making money too? Just constructive criticism...

Another tip NO ONE says: Make sure you can afford to do the Maintenance on it.

Don’t even consider 8/9 to buy.. 9/10 they are replaced with something major and who wants a car bolted with parts from another car unless your somewhat a good mechanic. X has better chance being untouched since it’s newer. Evo era is over and it is more a collectible over practicality now. Buy new sti or wait if XI will ever come out

Honestly seems almost better to buy a “built” one if it’s what you end up doing to the car anyway if they got receipts to prove who has done the work. Problem with that is, lots of these haven been put together by uncle Tito.

Another reason when I bought my X, most of 8/9 are douche canoes. Not you, Josh. My 4g63 is superior, the X is heavy, the X is not real Evo. Grow the hell up. Go tell Mitsubishi they didn't make a real Evo. The X is a better engine. The X handles better. I could care less about drag times. That's not what the car was ever designed for. I'll still own another X one day. I miss it.
