JDM Time! Flying Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 9 // Nürburgring

[@robinw944]

7:30 Pac Man xD

[@_MasterP]

I heard that sound too and knew it was from a computer game of the past 😅 couldnt remember which one thanks

[@MrBrander]

So that's how the pacman sound was born.

I can hear the background SFX, hydraulics and hammering.

truly a rally car for the road. AYC and ACD were revolutionary if you can get used to it.

[@TheGustavFTW]

and if your ACD dies, you get a magic light for all 3 :D

So am I. But mine have slightly less miles...😅

[@vald.sullyvan]

dude I want an evo since im born, my parents have a mitsu brand cars dealers, I dont give a shi about a lambo or a gt3rs, just give me an evo

[@AnthonyGalloni]

Good to see someone using their Evo and putting miles on it.

[@twte5647]

I had an Evo 9 MR, should have never sold it, was the best car I've ever owned. It was phoenix red

[@japanluv]

This and an RX7 FD3s is all I need on my driveway.

[@enfantterrible4868]

would love to own a completely stock one, with the lovely BBS Wheels

[@daniels3899]

Saw one the other day and I haven't seen one in so long! Instantly fell back in love with it

[@twte5647]

@@japanluv I had a janky FD3 with glass top, turbo was blown, ran rough, very short turning radius. Other than being very unreliable it was also a blast

[@piotrmalewski8178]

Lancer Evolution should be on UNESCO list, same as entire Japan. Evos must be turning back in their graves seeing current Mitsubishis are just poorly rebadged Renaults.

[@MarkinoTFSI]

its shit

[@japanluv]

As a massive fan of Evo 8 and 9 and Mazda RX 7 FD3s, I think both should.

[@265justy]

Only good true Jap brands today are Toyota/Lexus, Mazda and Honda.. The rest have all lost it. Subaru and Mitsubishi are barely heard of anymore and Nissan are too reliant on Renault junk...

[@Ternesio_Terys]

Best comment to this video 👍👍👍👍

[@wrth]

My older bros Evo 8 many years ago got younger me into cars. The stututu was a sound I strive for to this day. Evos are legendary.

[@XxChocoTacoxX]

Came for the Evo 9, stayed for the Ed, Edd n Eddy socks! Always loved these cars. Thanks for sharing the drive!

I’m a simple man, when I see an Evo I click. Nothing gives you a better sensation of power than old school JDM. ❤

[@duramate]

Love Evos, full gas, no temp problems, 100% quality, best car ever

[@DoNuT_1985]

Well, it actually had temperature issue from what I could understand.

[@SI0AX]

​@@DoNuT_1985Most cars need oil coolers even when stock when driven on the track.

[@DoNuT_1985]

​@@SI0AX Of course, afair, we've seen that with a few recent stock Type-Rs. But, to be fair, that engine-melting uphill section is probably longer than your average trackday circuit.

[@SI0AX]

@@DoNuT_1985 Yeah, it's way more extreme. Some cars do better then others but one notorious car for oil issues even on autocross events is the Nissan Z cars. Many people mistake the water temperature and get a larger race radiator only to realize the oil was the issue.

[@jaroslavmrazek5752]

Because with Evo you basically get an overbuilt rally car for the street already with a big rad, oil cooler and a massive power potential but with a cheapo interior thats loud inside and sometimes creaks. Modern sports cars are becoming the opposite.

[@Kavinda-x2t]

One of the few AWD cars that can also corner well!

[@possibly8180]

Have a evo 6 GSR myself and it is a back road monster 😎😎💪🏼

[@parasgumber4710]

It’s almost 2025 and these mitsubishi makes same brakes noises and still got that AWD stability fantastic product. The only downside is fuel quality these days which makes these old gems marginally slower

[@VxO4fame]

wtf ??? fuel quality got better over the years .. At least in EU. And in the US u go for E85 anyway

[@Madpegasusmax]

As a old Mitsubishi's owner , I liked to see Misha using the EVO manual phrase "In case of doubt ,floor it" . I was surprised for the electronic problem, it's a after market ECU ?

[@f4rensabri]

at 0:16 it says Link ECU

[@Madpegasusmax]

@@f4rensabri oh , I missed that , I was surely looking at the car 😅. I was surprised that a "old school" Mitsubishi ECU was failing after a few minutes of real driving 😆, so everything is explained 🙃

[@3rdGenGuy]

dude is brave using A052 tires ha ha. those are basically 1 lap wonder tires. we use those for autocross due to how fast they warm up, but switch to different tires for track use.

[@EvoRacer4G63]

I did 3 laps in a row with the a052 and had no problems with them

[@VxO4fame]

pretty common popular tire nowdays for anything

[@mil3486]

Im so in love with these videos misha, have been a follower for many a years and now I wonder how hard it would be to drive for a living like this

[@Bassalicious]

Going slow through Hohe Acht is so painful to me. I love that corner, I wouldn't have been able to hold it together at the Karusell's exit lol.

[@Peter-bakker]

Evo 9 was and is still my dream car same for a older Mustang with a V8

[@nnr3]

Finally an evo with the proper close ratio 6 speed gearbox.

[@SI0AX]

The reason it's not so popular is because it's significantly weaker. The 5 speed can handle above 1,000 WHP with just an upgraded clutch. The 6th speed will break at around 500WHP on something. For a light bolt on stock internal engine it's fine, but for serious power, people end up swapping out to a 5 speed.

[@leepicgaymer5464]

​@@SI0AXis there any way to upgrade the 6 speed?

[@SI0AX]

@@leepicgaymer5464 The reason the 6 speed is weaker is due to the fact that they are cramming an extra gear into the same housing as the 5 speed. This means that each gear has to be made thinner along with the input shaft and bearings. Even the front differential is weaker. You would have to get billet steel gears and input shaft, upgraded bearings and an aftermarket racing LSD to get it on par with the 5 spued setup. Maybe even add cryotreatment to the transmission on top. It would be cheaper to modify the gear set in the 5 speed to be closer for better acceleration at the cost of fuel economy. I would just not go the extreme route with the 6 speed. Just stick to keeping the engine internally stock. Forged engine internals don't even last long. A stock internal engine EVO can last up to 250,000 miles without a rebuild if proper oil changes are done whereas a forged engine internal will struggle to get past 40,000 miles.

[@nnr3]

@@SI0AX everyone knows that the 5 speed can handle stress better than the 6 speed. That doesn’t take away the fact that the 6 speed is superior in terms of gear spacing, which is what I was talking about in my original comment.

[@SI0AX]

@@nnr3 Yeah, more gears is always better. 5 speeds have always had pretty uneven spacing. It's like they decided to do in right with the 6 speed+ manuals and Autos

[@MrBrander]

That's what I would like to know too.

[@ianmoone6562]

probably super hot day and he didn't feel like stressing the car on the uphill

[@bea1z]

I think he tactically chose to cool down on the hill as that’s where most cars begin to overheat and it ruins the next part of fast corners having to wait on cool down, where the evo would’ve been incredible through. (Which it was)

[@kern417]

Sounded like the owner said "detonation" like high IATs were causing misfires so they chilled out to recover from heat soak

[@HansMorgan-sy7mu]

Ecu started pulling timing due to hot intake.

[@pear7869]

yas, reachable fun! love. seeing cars like this. on your chan, cars that. get real tic from their owners

[@Andre-cv1wh]

Omg, finally an evo ❤

[@chriswalker5582]

Always wanted an evo ever since playing gran turismo on the ps1

[@happydappyman]

somehow the most appropriate thing for that Mitsubishi is probably the Ed Edd, n Eddy socks.

[@Weather_Nerd]

Wanted an Evo VIII so bad since they launched in the US! I mean, I wasn’t driving yet but a 12-13yo could dream! Got a 2004 WRX in 2011 and immediately wished I got an Evo or NA Supra MKIV instead just paid little more, blew enough engines that both would’ve ultimately been far cheaper 😂 Heck even an FD RX-7, coulda shoulda woulda, I assume prices have skyrocketed as they have for everything (another mistake, selling my AP1 S2000, these modern prices disgust me glad I hung onto my NA6 Miata cause somehow even those are not worth the $ any longer!)

[@taradet]

Espectacular aquest evo Pep!!! ❤👏🏻👏🏻

[@okeyezeilo6187]

Strewth! I'd forgotten just how rapid the Evo 9 was...

[@FociPoint]

Always told myself if I were to ever get rid of my current project (built mk1 focus hatch), it would be for an Evo IX.

Question would you try to race on an american race track it would be really fun to watch you learn new track and be agressive in them much love from Puerto Rico brother started watching your videos this year and since then i think i have watched at least 80% of your videos😂 you sir are a genius behind the wheel
