Cheap EVO 6 Rust Issues - We Fix THEM!

[@earnestblofeld7905]

This is the most interesting thing on KZbin right now.

[@sok_pomaranczowy]

agreed :D

[@TwoInfinityAndBeyond]

hands down.

[@Hybridesque]

Especially after catching up with Project Binky... Watched the latest episode about 6 times.

[@nickseng4256]

Definitely interesting 🧐

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Cannon / M&M ?

[@JamboGT]

Well there were definitely Mine's Lancers in Gran Turismo!

[@Kilo_Indigo_Charlie]

[@duomaxwell5807]

MINE'S tuning house tuned GTRs and Evolutions ...and it handled pretty damn amazing

[@JEBISVOJUMAJKU]

I remember it from Gran Turismo as well. I loved all the Mine's everything!! 😍😍😍

[@_Keir]

Was just about to post this

[@garage_nostalgia]

Beat me to it lol, gran turismo for life!

[@ormondjosh]

"It's just surface rust" should be the first square on project car bingo.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

lol

[@strongerandwiser2023]

The zip tie around the filler neck is actually a factory thing guys. I had the same with my filler neck and it was shocking... I actually snapped one of my Subframe bolts and had to replace the whole rear chassis legs because of the rust in there.

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

Literally the only sensible comment ive read so far....

[@HiruMihnea]

Nobody: nothing Pete: holy smokes, jeeeez louuiseee Hahaha. Love you guys, been watching since days one

[@jdmfreak22]

Cracks me up every time! But I'd rather hear him say things like that, instead of course words being beeped out, or worse, not being beeped out. :)

[@steifan]

Would be funny to see a collab with MCM, would be pretty funny language wise xD

[@HiruMihnea]

@@steifan oy, mates, you reckon that might be doable? Poutine and shrimp on the barby! 😂😂 And awesome people and awesome cars

[@steifan]

@@HiruMihnea yeah nah yeah nah yeah..naah probably not 😂

[@JamesDownes]

@mihnea what was the first project car, was it a 200sx?

[@scottquattro4685]

Mines did do evo stuff back in the day, the best of the best 🤑

[@shiftdowntv4511]

I think all the extra TLC that's needed with this car makes the project more endearing. Looking forward to more!

[@corty1975]

Rusty filler pipes are a common problem. Fault was traced back to poor quality steel used in manufacture. My 6 is the same, but rest of car is rust free. Problem also exists in some other Mitsubishi's that used the same steel for the filler pipe. And the cover with the cable the is factory, mine had it too. Enjoying this series, keep up the good work 👍

[@MrMichael007mc]

Guys I just want to say, I have been watching youtube car channels for 10 years now and you are by far the best at it. Really appreciate the hard work & dedication you put into your content. From a huge fan in San Antonio, TX

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

Yea, cos i dont make video's......

[@n8_b123]

Double check you got the correct size bushings for the "moustache" bar (rear iron diff to subframe bracket) as there are two sizes. If your going to stiffen up the rear diff mounting, id recommend putting in an evo 7 rear diff, they are a straight swap but have a far stonger case less prone to cracking. Ideally you would put an rs read diff in and delete the AYC, but its a little bit pricey. If you need the workshop manual, evoscan have it on their website. Throw the upper arms in the bin and get a new set. If you try changing their balljoints, they will probably crack. For the trailing and toe arms though, hardrace made replacement ball joints.

[@voltairee3012]

@Speed Academy you really need to do a video on how you catalog fasteners and parts during a teardown for reuse. Doesn't have to be long at all. Keep up the great content.

[@andrewwilson8317]

Was surprised to see you pressure washing inside the shop? In my world it's a constant fight against moisture and rust, the thought of pressure washing in my shop fills me with real horror!, that kind of stuff done outside ,well away from tools,machines and parts!

[@mondomoleno.3404]

"I'm PT, and you're watching Hot Bolts. Today on the show we have an Evo VI - It's a JDM Legend, a rally stage hero, and is full of rusty bolts. But how will it fare against Milwaukee's best? We'll find out!"

[@speedacademy]

HAHA!

[@-redtango]

Gran Turisimo had Mine's lancer EVO in their game

[@easyerc2226]

mines do parts, i have a mines H Brace on my evo 6, and those cracked arms were a factory defect, i heard that some places still honour the repair nad replace those arms

[@DirtDude117]

One "cool" trick for siezed bolts I have used is heating everything up and then using a can of compressed air, holding it upside down and spraying it to flash freeze the bolt before taking it out. Works FANTASTIC on subframes and also on brake screws.

[@UzumakiGarage]

The split cover on the fuel filler neck is an OEM factory part. I've just started another evo 6 restoration here in Australia and its the same. And, it was the same on my Tommi Makinen Evo 6.5 resto too

[@Villajesse]

Im a Subaru guy and I can still appreciate EVO/Mirage content on your channel . Like always good job . What I don’t understand is, how some people can thump down these videos ?

[@jonathancolling2284]

Same happened to me with that sub frame bolt ! For me it was the Alloy that had bonded with white powder to the entire stud length in exactly the same way !

[@jredmartinz]

You guys definitely need that Milwaukee stubby impact 3/8. It's a life saver at my work with its torque and small size

[@frozenpete788]

I have a seized front subframe bolt too (89'' 325iX e30), tried heat, hammer, both, fluids and everything. I had to leave it in, and remove engine without oil pan and so on. I' ll have to do surgery in the chassis I guess. Nice find that Mine's strut brace! Best 90's stuff there!

[@pFbSpecV]

Man that rear end looks like a pain! Props dealing with rust issues! Cant wait for this build!

[@zoranstankovic2599]

For surface rust just peel off flakes and cover with Bill Hisch's Miracle Paint. Its same idea as Por15 but it's thicker and doesn't run when done underneath car. Distributor for CA is Bellwoods Garage of Fenelon Falls

[@stevepham8443]

I wanna say the wheels are GTC01RR or gramlight 57xtreme spec D

[@AeroPrixma]

Love this build, Adam LZ for sure would want to see this car. His exact dream build would be doing this. Have fun, can’t wait to see this build!

[@JamieD1994]

Brand new fuel filler neck and bolt kit is available from Ross Sport in England. I just had the rear arms welded on my Evo 4 for the same reason so it can definitely be done. Mitsubishi had a recall on them for cracking but it has ended

[@rwells242]

Mines is more than just Nissan. most informative tuner oriented show

[@beardedweaver9916]

Might try dustless blasting. It usually uses water as a transport medium and can be eco friendly. If you had a lift or jacks outside they would be able to do it right there. I know this video is 2 months old, but might be worth a look for future projects.

[@JDMEvolution]

Filler kneck is like that from factory as for rust depends how far you want to go but polycarbide wheels do a great job.

[@DampNoodles]

I don't think I've been this excited for a build since the (bad)ass2000. Keep it up guys! I can't wait for more episodes.

[@darrentopham8165]

The zip ties are factory on the filler neck guys.. so is the sheath around the lower end of the neck. Its 2 pieces bonded on with glue then re enforced with zip ties

[@jameelali1266]

Power brush clean followed by aerosol rubberized under coat. Perfect

[@ryzmodz]

18,500 Yen on Mines website for the strut brace

[@OKMX5]

That's super cheap.

[@FranRuiz]

love this build guys!!! Try Dry Ice blasting, it´s awesome! Cheers from Argentina!

[@ifgezroxy]

Damn. You beat me to it. Was also gonna suggest dry ice. Easier to clean up after, than sandblasting. 😁

[@UzumakiGarage]

I was worried when you heated up the Alloy cross member. You could've got the oxy tip (a smaller one) up into the chassis rail thru a hole already there, to heat up the captured nut

[@cielosnegro]

There was also the Mitsubishi Mirage that also had the the same chassis in the states in the early 90's.

[@josephhackett9354]

I went Superpro after seeing too many iffy posts about the quality of some other popular manufacturers online as well. 0 regrets

[@barryblenman2164]

Hot Version 35 showcased their Evo 5. There was also an Evo 6... Really great piece of kit.

[@dakavanagh]

try some Metal Rescue Gel. Layer it on, cover with plastic wrap, let it sit for a bit, rinse and repeat as necessary. Great for irregular shapes.

[@duomaxwell5807]

Mine's tuning house did GTRs and Evolutions matter of fact JGTC driver Orido said he feared the mine's GTR 34 💪💪

[@jemeljerome]

He is correct bro mines used to make performance parts for the Evo 6

[@2988jake]

I have a mines strut brace on my evo, they make a lot of evo parts. And don’t forget about the mines evo 7 in a hot versions touge battle! But great work guys; saving another evo from certain rusty doom! 👏👏👏

[@nicj15]

Wire wheeling the chassis and get it undercoated would be a nice touch!

[@JMacGyver1]

I have to laugh seeing the rusted parts on the Mitsu, as I lived through the same thing on my early 1980’s Dodge Colt / Mirage I had (bought new). In a short couple of years living through Midwest winters and the salted roads we see here, the car just seemed to start rusting everywhere all at once. I vowed to never buy another Mitsubishi, and moved to Honda for a good 10 years of various models (CRX HF, CRX Si, Accord SE, Accord EX, then with kids I went through two models of Odyssey’s. That’s when I decided I needed to get back to a more enjoyable car that I could work on and add some of my own personality to, so I bought the first model year WRX wagon, a 2002 or maybe it was officially an 03 bought in 02. I loved that thing - got to be part of the beginnings of the aftermarket serving the WRX. I remember having guys in their Mustangs and Camaro’s, after getting toasted at stop lights, ask me what I had under the hood. With the Borla exhaust I had on it, it sounded like a Harley race bike and my kids would tell me they could hear me coming home from a mile away. Now I get to watch you guys and bring me back to my younger years having fun wrenching on hot imports. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!

[@anester1866]

you didnt like the mitsu rust but now you have a subi? i'll admit. rust is the only thing that'll kill a mitsubishi. but living in the north east, and seeing every single subaru rust out a hole in the rear fender. its an obvious problem they didnt care to fix. and the bug eye wrx youre referring to had an eventual recall on the entire front subframe because it was rusting and falling out from under the car. they put plastic covers over the mounting bolts that held everything winter threw up there. and you went through 6 hondas in 10 years? you must not have liked any of them. i had my last mitsu for almost 9 years before the rust got at the fuel system. i wouldve fixed it if i had another car to drive.

[@bhempstead]

I noticed when you removed the last bolt you will find that the chassis rails are choka block full of the dirt you found in the filler neck protection plate. Chassis needs to be cleaned with air and water

[@michaelduque7652]

So you guys need to do dry Ice blasting. You can blast everything including wiring and electrical components. Super safe and effective

[@speedacademy]

We also apparently need $1200 to bring someone in to do it! Crazy how much they charge here to do the job.

[@Cumminsdaddy]

Dustless blasting might be cheaper but have the whole under side done

[@Cumminsdaddy]

And under coated

[@silverbulletS197]

A lot of people dont know that back in the day, Mitsubishi made parts for every car company out there from japan. My '04 mazda 3 air intake sensor is a Mitsubishi part.

[@tomdowning6344]

right out from factory they're an sti killer

[@motivemotions5796]

Mines had a decent roll in tune ability for evos overall. Their biggest outcome was the r34 gtr but they had excellent mines evos tuned greatly.

[@enverozbeser]

That Cracked Rear Upper Arm Assy is recalled by Mitsubishi..

[@jdmfreak22]

Even Gran Turismo had the Mine's Evo! Loving this build!

[@joshuagonzales210]

Mine's Evo was my favorite in the GT days! Haha

[@ray_23trd33]

Super excited for this build series! Love the Evolution VI and can’t wait to see how this turns out. Keeping it coming guys 🤙

[@OGJD1984]

I would recommend you replace that heavy rust prone cast iron mustache bar with a powder coated tubular welded replacement. Buschur makes a nice unit along with a few others, MAP I think.

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

I dont... there's no rubber bushes.. .all the stress is transferred to rhe thin legs. Ive seen evo's with cracked legs, due to tubular frames....

[@HoMiE327]

Hey you guys should consider adding rigid collar to both front and rear subframe if it's available

[@MrJasons9]

thank you guys for saving so many cars from the scrapper

[@yywrxg]

They tuned Evo and STI too,MINE'S even had a CP9A showcar,and a CT9A too

[@marcinsuterski4455]

That Tundra looks great!

[@chaidencorbin4226]

I used this stuff called corroseal it goes on like a paint completely takes the rust away and doesn’t let it restart I used it on a old rusty Ford F-250 and it was amazing

[@Cumminsdaddy]

It needs to be blasted

[@Drquimbaymatumbo]

No such thing as "takes the rust away" only blasting, sanding/ grinding and acod takes rust away.

[@serious460]

this channel is under rated great videos

[@thexpression27]

Im so exited about this series. You are doing a great job. Greets from Germany:)

[@tragicnomadic]

Looks Great guys! I can't wait till you finish my next summer daily

[@markxuereb2392]

Yes he`s right , MINS use to do parts for EVOS infact here in Malta we has an EVO 5 from MINS

[@d.mat.zero6525]

there is dustless blasting for rust removal the abrasives are added to water n u "power wash" the rust off.

[@Cumminsdaddy]

Yesss. Thiis^^^

[@myfavoritemartian1]

Naval Jelly. Wipe/brush on. Allow to set for an hour. Wipe off. It likes rust. Wipe it on the rusty bolts too. Makes rust disappear. A chemical conversion. When you heat a bolt, it breaks the rust/corrosion bond and makes the bolt longer and thereby looser.

[@91ludesit]

Yo this is a great opportunity to try out dry ice blasting to get rid of all that rust!

[@Tim82621]

Racefab subframes would be amazing!

[@MrFiskIt]

Check out the Race-Fab arms that Adam LZ put in the back of his Evo 5.

[@solanod12]

That Evo is full of surprises! I like it!

[@Bouw28]

Can’t wait to see the final build

[@dean9316]

Im so happy I live in Australia and dont have to deal with all those rusty bolts.

[@g-mane7497]

That mine strut bar debate was the best lol

[@UltyJawaCraft]

I think you can replace both of the subframes and arms for tubular units

[@02honeydew]

Yeah they're pretty expensive but I'm pretty sure there's an Australian company that makes some tubular subframes.

[@UltyJawaCraft]

And with the tubular subframe you reduce the weight of the suspension overall and you get more adjustment

[@UltyJawaCraft]

I think Adam LZ has changed both the front and the rear subframes to tubular ones on his Evo 5

[@Cumminsdaddy]

@@UltyJawaCraft yesss

[@ryanyeethegifted]

Really love this channel so much. Alot details being shared and learn alot.

[@woofer2121]

I wonder if the fire burns of the iron oxide like thermite?

[@TheDanFromOz]

If you have one last bolt that wont come out on the rear end, part of the issue is the stress of it holding all the weight. Did you consider putting all the other bolts in again so they hold the weight and keep it all angled correctly so you have a better chance of getting that last troublesome bolt out? Making it harder otherwise.

[@irabrook]

I'm pretty sure mines also had turned ecus for the 4g63t way back when

[@45Camster]

Build a booth round the lift and sandblast it!

[@jabeard9]

Dave those are JDM BBS!

[@harrisonmorin616]

Have you seen a dry ice blaster? No clean up!

[@JEBISVOJUMAJKU]

I absolutely love this build. You guys are awesome!!!

[@initialspeed]

Loving the videos guys. Keep up the great work.

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Wasn’t the upper control arms A recall from Mitsubishi for cracking

[@Tundra_dan]

The Tundra just sitting there in the background all majestic like haha.

[@michaelverzosa106]

Hello, what brand are those purple positioning jacks on 4:20 and where did you get them?

[@iHarrisx]

Yessss been waiting for this, only discovered your channel a few days ago looking forward to this build 👌🏼😃

[@therealboofighter]

Jord123 you have been missing out. But you have a lot of catching up to do. Lol. They have a ton of get content.

[@iHarrisx]

boofighter I know dude haha can’t believe I’ve only just found these guys. Working my way through the videos slowly lol these guys do stuff properly I love it 😃

[@EVOFans]

Hardrace make rear ball joint replacement for EVO and the part number is 7366 Hope this helps

[@Nelson_89]

They did they pretty good tuning EVO

[@MireSeVini]

Can't wait for that engine breakdown

[@playlistforkids]

Love this series. Long live the Evo!

[@FULLTHROTTLEAUTO]

From what I can tell MINE'S did and still does make items for a lot of generations of the Evo. Alsooooo. RaceFab front and rear subframes? Get that "driving like you're on rails" feel!

[@joshtradamus3921]

Fullthrottle Auto are those the subframes that adamLZ has on his?

[@1CraigE1]

Can you post a slowed down version of where you removed the rear fender flares? Have been searching online and no one seems to have ever posted it before... removal &/or installation

[@hermanshelton3660]

Hey, why no hearing protection for Dave?

[@swisscourthustle]

Have you mentioned any plans for the engine rebuild? I’d love to see a Mivec top end go in to this!

[@MichaelCoolGuy86]

Sand blasting with ice... it just melts away...

[@Michael-uo4jj]

Wow amazing work love the series

[@johncarlodelacruz6756]

Mines also have honda civic parts so that strut bar looks legit to me.

[@clapped_r3219]

Mine’s def made parts for other chassis. It’s just safe to say they “specialized” in their Nissan components.

[@Slickpete83]

just dip the car in CLR to remove calcium lime rust like the commerical we all grew up watching in Canada lol...

[@XenonG]

Remove, knock off, sand off surface rust and rust bits and rust particles. Clean it off Then make sure surface rust is really surface rust only, cut out rusted in bits and fabricate then weld in the cut outs. Clean it all off again. Cover surface rust with rust converter. Rust converters come in two types, one that needs paint primer and one where you can just paint on directly.

[@Cumminsdaddy]

No get rid of all surface rust permanently. Dont be a half ass
