How Much Did It Cost To Build My Evo X? | Full Build Cost Breakdown

Hey guys so after a bunch of people have asked I decided to count up the full cost of building and modifying my Evo X in its current form.
this was scary to do and I hadn't realised how much I'd spent as it's a decent amount of money but I hope you guys enjoy and find this video helpful.

Your channel is the reason I decided to purchase a Ralliart. Had a Lancer ES for a while and was tip toeing around the idea of biting the bullet and purchasing one but your channel convinced me. Love your work. P.S It's already in for an SST Rebuild 🤣

[@JacksonStrain]

That's awesome man, I hope after the SST Build it is just fun and enjoyable for many years

[@JacksonStrain]

If there's any parts you guys are interested in that I have let me know and I'll do my best to reply with a link.

[@rneerpat]

Are your mirrors authenticate ganador or replicate

[@JacksonStrain]

@@rneerpat nah they're reps, can't justify paying 3-4k for genuine mirrors haha

[@nimbleryan735]

Always good coming back to this channel and seeing where the Evo is upto, very nice car. Also good that you space out the modding intop if that. I bought my Ralliart in late January this year, its great because it was stock with less then 120,000kms for 21k. Only modification it has which was unplanned seeing that I wasn't going to modify it for atleast 3 months is the SST rebuild. Built to same spec as your on the rebuild side, cost me $40 for 20L of fuel i put in in the day i picked it up. Used car lot payed for the transmission to be rebuilt by RPMotorsports here in Sydney. Stuff i will be doing in the next fews months is putting my temporary Mazda 3 MPS (gen2) wheels on once i fix them up + paint them which will live on the car till i get myself a set of Enkei GTC02's. Ontop of that, putting the RA Caliper's, brake hoses, rotors and pads that were intended for my Lancer. In the future i do intend on getting the Plasmaman Intake Manifold and a HKS GT 3 Turbo kit.

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks man and congrats on the RA and especially the dealership paid for SST haha that's a score. Your plans sound great and I actually used to have GTC02s on my Evo before I started the channel

[@nimbleryan735]

@@JacksonStrain all g, i think what makes your content great is that its relatable which is why i enjoy it and probably for a large No. of your subscriber's 👍 interesting to know GTC02's used to be on your Evo, i saw them on Speed Academy's Evo6 and i was sold at that point. Cheers, i enjoy having the RA as a weekend car so its been good. Yeah definitely lucky the dealer paid for the repair, + RPMotorsports chucked in a free 500km break-in oil change which i did on Monday. While i was at RPM i got the S-Sport V2 engaged for the price of the factory S-sport. Plan on making the car unique in its own way in the future, but first year-to-year and a half is focusing on maintenance and suspension work. Reason i say that, my 07 Cj Lancer (that has 415,000kms) feels better in turns after its suspension work. So power mods will be down the track till the handling is perfected 😅 Also might give KZbin another go for car stuff, still unsure how to start but ill try to give it a go soon 😅

One of the cleanest Evo X's one the planet!

You're too kind

[@aldomonti7045]

with the front badge delete, is the black nose still oem with the triangle just cut off? or is it a new piece? this mod looks great 👌

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah it's OEM with the badge cut off and then filled to look factory Thanks mate

[@crissanchez1217]

my favorite Evo X KZbinr! keep up the videos man

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@bagerklestyne]

Jackson - few questions 1 - Did the headlight blackout change the effectiveness or beam quality overall (ie same light throw before and after the mod) ? 2 - The door cards you got in leather, have you seen them in alcantara at all ? 3 - Confused as fuck why we want a heated sump for the SST (I live in canberra and I religiously warm mine up for a few minutes) I am definitely keeping mine long term, I've had mine since August 08 and it's got 260k on it. For the record, I paid more for my car new than you did buying and modding yours. You got a bargain :)

[@JacksonStrain]

Hey mate, No the headlights perform the same as it's only the chrome internal parts that are painted and nothing on the exterior. No I haven't seen a alcantara oem doorcard but I originally planned to make mine with alcantara at the top which would have been a custom job. As for the heated sump it's definitely great to have for getting the operating temps faster, I've found it halves the time it takes to get to 60c and also keeps it from overheating as easy when on track and or hard driving

[@bagerklestyne]

@@JacksonStrain Thanks bro, I am going down the heavy mods as the cash flow increases, it's nice to speak to a man who's done the other important stuff though (everyone talks about the motor) I am planning on going the full alcantara like the 06 demo model had (over the dash and basically everywhere the plastic has that textured 'look') Might be a very long time till I get there but I'll report back and let you who, how and where (Might have a local in QLD that does it)

[@benjaminross5611]

I'm 10+ in man.. my 600 hp fully built trans from jacks transmission is being put in now.. i can't wait for the difference!

is that a mr you have?

[@liljay5653]

Hey bro love the car just wondering where you got that vent from for the front upper bumper or did that come with the apr radiator shroud

[@JacksonStrain]

Hey mate it's called an FQ400 vent and there's a guy in the U.S that makes them. I got mine from AK Racing here in Australia who ordered a few in

Great video! What blow off valve are you running?

Thanks mate it's a turbosmart Kompact recirculating

[@aose19]

Jackson are OEM spare parts always available in AU , dealer or you need some time to wait to get them directly from JP ?

[@JacksonStrain]

I usually ask AK Racing and they're able to mostly get parts pretty fast for me but it really depends on what part it is

[@dondada6496]

Hi, I always watch your KZbin vids. I'd like to know the part number for the black visors you use for the Evo X. I searched the Mitsubishi epc data but only the gray is available. I bought some eclipse cross visors but they don't fit🥺. Also, which doors cards are you using? Thanks for any info that you can provide on this.

[@JacksonStrain]

Hi I don't know the part number but if you watch the video where we install them on the red Evo I'm sure I show it then. It was one of the first videos we did on the car maybe first 5 or so and is in the play list

[@fil23ralliart]

I spent so much on my Ralliart, I could have bought an Evo. Im up to at least 40k, it quickly adds up... But I love it, so much fun to drive and fun to mod

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah it really does add up fast hey

[@FABCasso]

the steering wheel looks so good

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks mate

when the exterior mods cost more than my 2008 lancer 💀

Hahaha

I'm about 12k in and not feelong so bad about it now 😂

[@JacksonStrain]

Hahaha yeah still well worth it I'm sure

Nice Clean evo bro where did you buy a 4b11 harness adapter tuck

Would you advise the Cusco full chasis bracing

I have a friend with the full set up from them and he said in some ways he likes it and some he doesn't but for a track car it's likely well worth it
