I don't know about anyone else, but I'm LIVING for these type of series where you guys are rehabbing old enthusiast cars. Keep up the great work guys!

[@Car3stash]

same, these are the very best.

[@dancarlos1216]

It really shows how much work goes into being about that life.

[@zacharyemanuel9777]

i realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@randallsam9774]

@Zachary Emanuel i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@kamdynfrederick7304]

@Randall Sam Yup, have been using Flixzone for since march myself :)

[@VS666]

i love this channel so much. it's incredible putting these abused cars back together with quality parts. that underbody looks so damn good! edit: grats on 300k!

[@speedacademy]

Thank you!!

[@ChrisHale0629]

I'm a part of team STI, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching the legends of my youth being brought back from neglect. Kudos to you guys. Love this series. 100x better than watching some half-assed supercar rebuild.

[@paulcauldwell8491]

Me too, I'm Team STI for obvious reasons but my dream garage would for sure house an Evo 5 or 6 aswell as my Scoobs 😁

[@trevorscales9017]

The amount of want I have for an Evo 5 or 6 to have alongside my X is unreal. Hurry up 25 year birthday for the 5 😆

[@VS666]

V and X would be sick!

[@BP-fx3qc]

I want a evo v too. Alongside my sti.

@@BP-fx3qc stis are nice dailys evos are just savage

[@BP-fx3qc]

@ I daily mine and its lots of fun but the suspension is way too stiff for everyday driving in these 15-20 sti's but is not unbearable. I dont know how the evo rides but im willing to bet is probably softer which i wouldn't mind. Evos V and VI are just stunning to look at.

@@BP-fx3qc there both awesome cars but i find the evo to be more " race car" so not ideal for rough ill maintained roads but saying that the billsteins my 8mr came with were quite soft but hide height was shite, i got ohlins on there now and the thing is quite uncomfortable and harsh on poor roads . Handles incredible at speed tho , a good friend of mine has a bone stock 04 jdm sti and that rides very well both are nimble and raw...in the ideal world I'd tow my evo to track with a sti .

[@Doggepp]

I realize its a bit too late for this now, but a tip for bushings like these, when its alu/metal/hard plastics - When you remove the bushing, try to clean the hole out of any old marks from the previous bushing install with a scotchbrite wheel so the finish is smooth and "honed" - And then use some engine oil as lubrication when you press the bushing in, this is "THE" way to install bushings. Anyways, love the vids as always!

[@karltaht2370]

This is amazing. You guys literally saved this car

[@bradleymorrison5905]

The best build show !

[@playlistforkids]

Love the Evo series. This is great. Long live the 80's 90's 00's JDM marvels

[@frozenpete788]

I had a good dent removed off my driver's door M3, just below the window and above the main body line. Pdr guys are awesome, you can't tell there was anything. I love that evo, it's looking so good in silver, so 90's rally style. One of the best imo. Can't wait to see what's next! Good job guys Cheers from France

[@ReggieNoble637]

The little touches....new replacement trim, powder coated components and a fresh polish are so satisfying to the soul

[@upbuild4397]

Fantastic job guys, this is going to be such a nice car when it’s done. You’re building an awesome collection of car in that garage 👍👍

[@BboyMobster]

What a huge difference from the last video lol. Car looks like it came off the show room floor! Those body work guys have a skill from god. Soo incredible!

[@JyveKilla]

You guys are saving the life of many great cars. That under body work is exceptional and really goes a long way to making the car live through the coming decades. Keep it up!

[@jnrivers]

Great work guys. I love watching you learn, and work through the process of restoring this iconic car. There's a lot of great stuff for the average Joe like me to extract from these videos.

[@gabea.458]

That Rupes is consider by many to be the best, you have a nice DA polisher there. Sonax makes great polishes too. I often use Perfect Finish, 1 step less cut but max finish/gloss. I would say for you guys working on mostly JDM and Euro cars with softer clear I would team that up with a Uro-Fiber 50/50 pad. It's a pad that is a blend of cutting and polishing microfiber so it's great for a one step.

[@BBBoiko2004]

For better removing you can weld the inside of the joint, and then while it is hot to press it out. That way the weld shrinks the joint and it came out easier. For press in you can put the joint in freezer for half an hour and that way you will not crack the aluminium arm.

[@MyGoToUserName]

The polishing tuned out great! Grab a DIY ceramic like Cquartz UK or optimum gloss coat. It'll help protect the paint for a couple years, and they're easy to apply.

[@JBoulter11]

Wow I wish I'd had one of those adhesive remover wheels, I was scraping it with a spudger like a pleb. Love seeing the tools you guys get.

[@seancarvalho6518]

Excellent inspiration for those wrenching on old Japanese cars! I'll be using a ton of the information learned through watching your videos on my own vehicle.

[@speedacademy]

Great to hear, our intent is always to educate.

[@markireland5501]

Considered removing the adjustment bolts on the lower arms and locking them with washer like what S chassis guys do? That way theres no chance of the bolt slipping and you can just adjust camber through the actual arm

[@nicksteele1706]

I love the fact while pt is doing the rear brakes and when he's done you just see him giving them the finger lmao nice man 😂 love the build

[@sicnarf_r4746]

From high-rust to high-gloss!! Great job guys!! Its looking soooo damn goood!!

[@Patrick94GSR]

I probably would have put a pole jack under the rear lower control arms to load the suspension up to about ride height-ish, then adjusted the LCA and toe arm. That way you can get a better idea of what the final camber angle is going to look like. Also suggest ensuring that the LCA's are adjusted to the same length both sides. If you adjust them on the alignment rack to the exact same camber angle both sides, you could possibly end up with different length arms on each side, which could lead to unpredictable handling, as the negative camber gain through the suspension travel will be different for each side.

[@Mattmazz77]

Looking sweet. Definitely enjoying the content. I absolutely like watching what you're doing than watching these other guys rebuild their salvaged super cars. You guys are at least showing obtainable content. Thanks.

[@philou9102]

The pads are the color of Belgium. And as i'm here greets from there. Really dope build.

[@TheBilliardCorner]

Thanks for the great videos, love this series :) Can't wait to see the Dodge Colt go against the Subaru STI!

[@TheBb6prelude]

This series is similar to the old power block series where they build American muscle cars. This is the import version of that. They did track testing as well after the completion of the builds.

[@speedacademy]

Thank you! Thats a big compliment.

[@Stigs722]

How on earth does this channel not have a million subscribers yet?

[@TheGCJourney]

That EVO could not have found better owners to take care of it! Your work is amazing I love this series! Keep it up! ❤❤❤

[@JyveKilla]

Don't forget to polish your glass with the Rupes. It's amazing how much better it looks shiny, you won't regret it!

[@speedacademy]

Great tip! Didn’t think that was possible. What compound do you use?

[@JyveKilla]

@@speedacademy just treat it like paint, may need course depending how scratched it is then work finer. Also if you wax coat it, the water will bead very well and the wipers will be magic!

[@strizi83]

Awesome Work Guys love what you are doing with the Evo 6!

[@wheelinhand8811]

Build is coming along nicely!

[@unitedscum]

Dang that thing looks sooo much better! Good job guys!

[@strongerandwiser2023]

Sat here pissing myself when you said about the handbreak assembly. I replaced the wheel bearings, my rear hubs along with the discs and handbreak assembly. I had the same nightmare and it makes it funnier when you have actually been there yourself with all those bastard little springs and trying to hold it all together. Its a compelete nightmare. It took me hours to do those and I could have killed somebody. Did you guys not have a nightmare removing the ABS sensors ? I replaced those too while I was at it. let me tell you the ABS sensor removal is a nightmare too!

[@paulcauldwell8491]

Full of Awesomeness!! 😎

Sti for daily evo for weekend/track 👍

[@BullPlop11]

I would love to see you guys do a restoration collaboration video with @AmmoNYC.

[@joshwolff2386]

COLT LIFE! My 89 Colt GT has a 63T swap and was fwd but will be AWD soon with a talon/eclipse rear end. Woohoo! Love me some mitsu video ♥️

[@mikebaker6562]

Ive rode in a few 6bolt swapped colts they are so ridiculously fun 60mph burnouts never get old

[@bruceholinight7978]

I have an STI and would be just as happy with an Evo , love both !

[@Leesmithmk2]

Man you guys went in on this video!! So much work done, can't wait to see the finished product!

Those air quotes killing me..lol. Love the episode.

[@bolkie888]

was waiting for this update for weeks now! good to know you released new updates on this build.

[@kenjohnstone7321]

Some brands like 555 send a plastic cone made for hammering the rubber back on

[@mondomoleno.3404]

The Evo is looking great! Makes me wish there wasn't 2 feet of snow covering my own project so I can finish up my interior, and get working on the body and frame! Just need some Beams action to get me motivated for my own Beams swap...

The evo is looking so much cleaner its the little things you do that makes a car stand out

[@ssldt1987]

awesome built guys!! Love your Channel

[@swisscourthustle]

I was waiting to see how you dealt with the AYC. I’m impressed that you actually kept it and didn’t just go for an RS diff in the rear.

[@speedacademy]

AYC is so great for track use. Drive a car woth and without and the difference is unbelievable

[@swisscourthustle]

That would be a good side by side comparison to be honest. I’d be interested to see the difference. Can’t wait for the rest of this build. Keep up the awesome work 👌🏼

[@rickyho2140]

And locating a RS diff in Canada in the right ratios is probably quite difficult for an evo 6

[@Eji66]

Car is coming together nicely. I can’t wait to hear it start

[@wraptordesign]

Love this project, it really is coming along well. For everything car cleaning cut and polish maybe you guys should talk to Matt @ Obsessed Garage and even Organise a collaborative project?

[@MrJeddurso]

Sorta not a “wrap” until you get the engine back and in .... was thinking that as you said it. Looking forward to it getting beat by the STi.

[@PGHdrift]

Quick thing if doing camber for a quick guide slap a cheap level on the face of rotor to get yourself perfect for the time being.

[@josuenegron3784]

Finally the evo videos are back. Thank you guys

Car looks awasome guys.

[@PANTYEATR1]

looking good Canada💪

[@edwardramos9666]

Watching at 2Am... good stuff

[@eriqrosado3337]

I have never seen or heard of that Eraser.pad being paint safe. I have actually seen somebody burn right through the paint with that but I mean they were pressing really hard and in the same area for quite a long time.

[@speedacademy]

I suppose if you run it too fast so it heats up the paint it will burn through but used properly it wont harm the paint.

[@elliottb7009]

at 7:29. me on every car i work on. love it
