Installing a JDM Rear Bumper on the OG Beater Evo 8

[@dino-335]

Congrats on the RS, Mike! Much deserved, we need a video on it!

[@ZWortek]

We definitely need a video

[@dblanchfield]

Good job, Mike, It's looking more and more like a daily beater with every video I watch!

[@dominiccampanella21]

😂💀

[@timbrown9731]

All this work is going to turn Mike and Mike into JDM Bros!

[@cmdrnbsp7132]

I have an 05 lancer and the fittings and riveted brackets are the exact same so I really appreciate seeing this as it gave me the confidence to replace the bumper on my lancer! Thank you!

[@ryandevera8782]

Once more, class personified Mike! Install was flawless as is the car🤙💯

[@ObsessedGarage]

You already know!

[@moereefer]

great job i would of thrown on the evo 9 turbo which you can get for around $700 to -$1000. and that’s all u need

[@simonhoward4819]

Ahh, what a nice rear end. Top job from team Mike's with an appearance from Mike. Matt will be impressed. 👌👍

[@lexist2112]

My question is when the car is complete will Mike give us his driving impressions of the EVO after all the hard work he’s put into it?

[@RICARD01]

Looks great....now we need JDM taillights😊

[@FixitFred]

The benefit of the Milwaukee M12 rivet tool is when the rivet snaps its smooth not a shock like the manual tool which saves you from accidentally scratching paint

[@FitzgeraldCharles]

This episode was riveting

[@kriskris9057]

This Evo getting so much love man

[@timbrown9731]

I think Mike deserves a video on his RS, I sort of like his color…

[@moereefer]

BMW is killer man excellent looking

[@sdmixy]

Please do JDM taillights too!

[@ChrisGoorbarry]

Coming out super nice 🙌🏼

[@StephenBrewer89]

Finally! Evo 7 tail lights please.

[@straussp6367]

That E92 in the background...

[@TakeChargeLifeCoaching]

Matt needs a welcome home gift .. I sugest a big Snapon Flag hanging on the side wall in the garage next to his Evo .... he will love it haha

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha ha.. I don't think I'd like that as a welcome gift.

[@TakeChargeLifeCoaching]

@@ObsessedGarage ha ha.

[@Jballzx]

Hi Mike, great video, is this thing still considered to be a "Mitsu Shino" or nah

[@DerekSpeedExposure]

thats kool how you grided down the floor for the liftt, was that hard to do?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's a pretty big project.

[@Mr.Turbo6]

I am mike also, so it feels like mike is talking to me. Thanks Mike.

[@Xolition]

JDM rear is mint. When you're all done please sell to me 😅

[@StephenBrewer89]

Need some 10” wide TE-37 SL’s. 265 Bridgestone potenza re-11 stickies

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm not going with TE-37 this time.

[@StephenBrewer89]

@@ObsessedGarage another excellent wheel choice (in my opinion) is the RPF-01 in sbc finish. I had them on my silver Evo. Lots of great wheel choices. Your building a hell of a car.

[@muradomar5649]

MURAD form Toronto good job amazing it’s looking very cool🇨🇦👌👋🤘🏻

[@NOTURBOS]

Do not use that port behind turbo for the catch can! You will push a ton of oil from that not safe for a street car.

[@kimnewling5728]

Cool

[@mandocon]

Please, post some e92 m3 content😁 It’s my favorite (I’m sure many others too) content and it’s rarely posted

[@ObsessedGarage]

The problem with that is I just don't drive the thing enough or do anything with it to warrant making content about it.

[@mandocon]

@@ObsessedGaragelittle POV drive with a wash and talk following😎

[@Carloswhey]

Nice

[@bradleyfox9524]

Is that the first time, Mike!! Camera Mike (CM) has been in video!!?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Not the first time. He's been in a few other videos.

[@timbrown9731]

Yeah I hate when that happens to fittings, chaps my ass to Mike.

[@Riverguide33]

👍

[@taylorj959a]

I know you love this car to death, but the more I look at it the better your "pig nose" M3 looks. Yeah I know different strokes for different folks and I am super glad to see you happy with it non-the-less.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah... I really wanted to like the G80. I just couldn't get over that front end.

[@taylorj959a]

I've got a bigger issue with iDrive 8, which I had in a loaner recently and it was the worse thing in the world. 500 steps to do what 1 button would do. HVAC was horrible with the weird settings for the fan, I couldn't get cool enough where my 2022 iDrive 7 will freeze you out of the car. Yes the screen is nice for a larger map view or to see a larger multi view but I don't like it. @@ObsessedGarage

[@anthonya8122]

Thank f... man you poor guys in the US, those USDM rear bumpers are hideous. Nice work

[@ObsessedGarage]

Tell me about it.

[@timkinley1779]

Cheap gas, plenty of oil, car dealerships on every corner, real football, bomb any country we want, and more guns and food than people. And the tradeoff is a different color taillight lens? We're good.

[@tomas.f55]

Evo or S2000? :D

[@ObsessedGarage]

They're so different, you can't really compare the two of them side by side. I nearly bought an Evo back in the early 2000's, but I chose to go with the S2000 instead. With the amount of money you can sink into an Evo, the S2000 was absolutely the cheaper route.

[@tomas.f55]

@@ObsessedGarage Ill propably choose the same route and get the S2000 as it will be my weekend car. Thank you! :D

[@2988jake]

I vote for painting the diffuser to match the oem tow hook cover ☝️

[@2988jake]

But don’t get me wrong, the black does look good on the graphite grey cars ☝️

[@StephenBrewer89]

Also, please tuck that ugly throttle cable

[@gokartsRfun]

It’s borderline insulting that you refer to this thing as a beater hahaha

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm using beater in the sense that I won't mind beating on it a little, compared to my E92 M3.

[@dukvahvahaev2728]

No matter how much money you throw at the Japanese auto industry, they are still ugly. The best content is BMW.
