Congrats on your Evo. A couple of corrections though... US got evo 8,9,10 only. All parts are not interchangeable between 4-9. Many parts are though. No such thing as an Evo 5 Tommi Makinen Edition. TME was a Evo 6.5. Those evo 9 Recaros are very nice although I do like the e5 seats a lot too. The Evo 7 valve cover is nice! And I see its got an Evo 6 rear wing and Evo 6.5 TME front bar. Its had some mods hey? Was it a track car with the tow hook up top? You talk to camera very well. I'll go now and check your other videos. Keep the updates coming! and visit my channel :)

Randomly got this video recommended to me and I can see how passionate you are about evo’s so I’m happy to see it in good hands 🤝

[@downshiftauto326]

Thanks man that means alot 🙏

[@Ray-xv7rh]

Uk watching here.. evo 5 in the past. Think my vids can be watched 😂 Great car.. amazing response while driving fast😅

[@iJakku]

A legendary timeless car for sure

[@huzzle101]

Good looking car man, just picked up mine too, definitely a dream car of mine.

[@Michael-it7nx]

Hello from Alberta, Canada. Great vid sir… I’d take anyone of em, but I do fancy the Evo 6 or 8. I do have a Evo X , MR P and love it 👍. Bought it brand new in 2009, Done a fair of modding /tuning. Burnt a valve in cylinder 3 and it sat for 10 years, rebuilt it last year, and it’s been great ever since… Only 66,000 km on it. Evos are such great platforms.

[@josephgaal394]

Currently have a 10. I'm getting a 6 next😊

[@kimzor1989]

Nice Evo! Previous owner did some nice upgrades

[@karriemsodfbt6166]

Love mines..... had a 8 and now my 5. Got a few leads on parts but this has been my dream car along with my FD RX7

[@KamperKi11er69]

Mines coming in September! Would you mind sharing your wheel set up?

[@bobrios829]

Nice car!

[@ArizonaRegime]

There wasn't an evo 5 TME and we didn't get the evo 7 here in the US. I don't know if I can watch anymore of this.

[@CarbageRacing]

Beautiful car. Did you buy this from Bruno in NJ?

[@Turshin]

I'm having a hard time choosing between an evo 5 or 6 and a FD Rx-7 . You may have made up my mind.

[@zero_to_1000]

Anything specific I should look out for when shopping for a 4 or 5? I'm going to buy one from the auction, so it will be sight unseen with the exception of having someone do an inspection and take photos for me.

[@youtubespectator669]

Underbody rust is notorious

[@DanielMukuria-pm1er]

Is that a TME front bumper?

[@rafaeltorres8943]

I own an Evo V in the US as well and I also have the same exact Ralliart keychain :) Where in the States are you?

[@jaeko2223]

correction from what you said, USDM evos started 8 not 7.

[@downshiftauto326]

Thanks, wow. I thought the US had at least started from the 7. Crazy to think we only got 3 generations

[@Lilporkchop483]

Love the car what size steering wheel is that?

[@downshiftauto326]

Thank you! Its a Nardi 14"

[@Lilporkchop483]

One more question if you don’t mind me asking what radio is that?

[@downshiftauto326]

@leodossantos707 sure thing! Its an 7" alpine but I'll have to get the model number.

[@tklresearchclub8736]

that's not an evo that's a five headed dragon
