Quick & Easy CHEAP EVO 9 Wagon Build / EP 1

[@Tenringfarmdad]

Just a group of dads, watching some dads work on a wagon early Saturday morning

[@uisperfectemail9720]

Dude, fist bump. We wouldn’t be here if the hats were backwards.

[@epiccheatmealday1180]

😂 💯

[@Shhteeve15]

Facts

[@kaguscon]

Frfr 3 kids. Sold my V now I sadly watch

[@sharkfixation]

Hundo P!

[@ZackNakazora1]

Who wants to see a Volvo v70r vs evo wagon build off?? Dave! Time to embrace the swedes!

[@Oborowatabinostk]

I would love a volvo build ngl

[@therightnuke]

Please dave we need a spaceball on the channel or at least build a really great V70R as the manual ones are hard to find

[@Mr16bit]

No that's a good idea. I love Volvo turbo wagons. My folks had a s70t5 sedan back in the day. It was quick in the late 90s

[@jameelrose]

Nobody

[@zethjugos1250]

Agreed! They have to build the legend of wagons

[@turbo_brian]

Finally after years of this beaut sitting in the background for so long.

[@ScottLe]

Every Saturday morning with my 7 month old we watch these guys outfit the most gorgeous works of art hoping one day we’ll get our wagon up to this caliber - I’m not a Mitsubishi guy but I am a wagon guy so I had to watch

[@speeddemon2262]

Always appreciate you guys putting CATs in your cars.

[@turbo_brian]

Here I was thinking I was gonna work on the 3000gt today, watched this video and ended up spending the whole day working on the evo. Thanks guys....

[@Noggles10]

I can't be the only person that heard Sandstorm in the torque wrench beeps as he was torquing the turbo to the manifold..

[@TJDST4]

You are not alone

[@silverbulletS197]

One of the rarest Evos you'll see!

[@aroundomaha]

I had forgotten about this little gem. Great to see such an uncommon vehicle get the SA once over!

[@jaynuck]

For sure!

[@scottwaters4889]

Watching you guys put a aftermarket cat on any car you build makes me cry in Californian

[@Dropsey818]

yeah man cali sucks with all its rules,

[@mazyata9958]

Nothing good about Cali anymore. Be glad you are not living there. Overrated place and people.

[@FracturedGoblin]

You guys should get a Crown Estate with the 1JZGTE and do a JDM wagon build faceoff!!

[@fiercenet]

That rear trim piece was just to fill the gap between the standard wagons and the widebody quarter flairs so they didn't need two different bodies.

[@charlieecho7253]

I love the wagon fellas. I special ordered an 06’ Evo 9 SE new back in 2006. Kept the car stock, full ‘virgin’. On the dyno it made 207 to the wheels. All I ever replaced was the clutch. Sold it with 109,000 miles on it for almost as much as I paid for it. I am told the new owner ruined the car almost immediately. One of the most fun cars that I’ve ever owned.

[@Brandon-C.]

Yes! Evo content!

[@MachMotorsport]

Awesome job PT! Hahahaha I made a cameo @ 21:08 🙂😉

[@speedacademy]

Next time you need a wrench!

[@MachMotorsport]

@@speedacademy Anytime!

[@Thecanadianseige69]

I have one and love it! Had a lancer Sportback Ralliart till I found an evo wagon and did my research and found out how rare it was.

[@benh745]

Finally the Wagon gets some attention! I always see it standing there in the background and wonder why that gorgeous piece of automotive excellence never stands in the spotlight. Now it does.. and i love it. ❤

[@jvepps]

Right hand drive is a real PIA here North America. Will never make the mistake of buying that again for a DD.

[@Dibbs10101]

Hooray for the Wagon. Good it's staying automatic. This will be a more fun daily driver than a manual swapped one.

[@Infinite_AM]

Keep up the good work gentlemen, these videos make my Saturdays.

[@K03sport]

making it look easy. I enjoy the demo (or tear down) more than the assembly. Long live the long roof!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

throw it on the track with a few friends 😂 5 passengers one wagon track day!

[@pFbSpecV]

I’m excited to see how the wagon evo is with the auto transmission! So far it’s awesome!

[@alexrobidoux2062]

I loooooooooooooooove wagons! I don't care about what people say, sound system sounds better, so much more practical...

[@shadymattuk]

I remember when you got this. Glad to see she's getting some love!

[@vapour_xs9235]

In technicality, there was a "lancer wagon" made in America, but it was a FWD pile of poo that never got the Evolution treatment. However, the mix of a rally legend on a family wagon body makes this one of my all-time favorite hoon-mobiles. Glad you went for importing one rather than making a hodge-podge mimic of the true legend!

[@d34thby1337]

The American Lancer Sportback got the OZ Rally treatment and was reasonably well liked in its time, but it's nothing compared to this.

[@celloasis]

I’ve been seeing this car in the background for ever and now finally seeing it being upgraded hell yeah can’t wait

[@nelsonarruda3272]

Very happy. You're finally doing the wagon.

[@te71se]

03:45 that trim piece is there to cover a seam, if you pull it off you're going to be in for a bit of a surprise.

[@williamkelly2467]

There're only 5 of these beasts in the usa. got to see built one irl at import alliance in atl and fell in love.

[@manishmkt]

15:30 This never gets old 😂😂

[@SilverScarletSpider]

keeps us on our toes 😂

[@ChinitFxt]

I’m in love with the wagon and the Hks exhaust

[@shautohaus]

Evo content + speed academy = 👌🏽

[@brandonismyname4]

Might be the first time we've had some fake torque wrench alarms from Pete, love it.

[@Willdrknght]

Finally the Evo wagon !! Don’t sleep on the auto it’s a beast ! Love mine 👌🏻 I hope to see what you guys do over there as far as auto box tuning too because that’s my next mod .

[@kennykunie6660]

That downpipe is a work of art

[@birdk3421]

It's a rare car even in Japan. Unlike previous EVO-converted wagons, this car is a very niche vehicle that Mitsubishi made by cutting off the rear end of an EVO 9 MR on the production line to turn it into a wagon.

[@jandkwhite6459]

i'm glad you're keeping it auto...I live this car. Big fan of wagons myself

[@ApexClubRacer]

Man…. I wish this was sold in the states. I loved and cherished my evo 8, and one that I’m a dad, this would be such an excellent daily.

[@WTFNoNamesLeft2]

My VIII has 2 car seats in it!

[@RixisLV]

If I am not mistaken then that rear plastic peace You hate is actually to “hide” seam underneath it. So some relatively high amount of bodywork would be needed to get rid of it. Somebody in Us built stock Lancer wagon into EVO and went into detail about that peace.

[@benmason7620]

Oh and you can clock the dipstick tube to make clearance for the intake

[@patrickwhite208]

Your car could be a twin to mine... Almost exactly the same. Really looking forward to this build series.

[@MrDannyd9]

21:05 I’m with you on this. I will keep this brand in mind.

[@KINGVONFRM063]

I just finished watching previous week video and now I gotta watch another one

[@tomv8240]

That's my absolute dream car‼️ I hope before I die I can at least sit in one

[@CharlesChristena]

Finally, the build i've been waiting for. SELL ME THIS WAGON!!!!!!!!!

[@russ4AGE]

Looks like Pete’s a hips and butt guy. Thanks for finally starting on the EVO wagon, saw the episode when you acquired it and have been waiting patiently for it’s turn to get some Speed Academy love.

[@VoxVirtus86]

I don't even try to mess with O2 sensors when doing exhaust now, I just buy new OEM ones. You always either tear up the sensor or destroy the threads in the bung.

[@skiptastic1000]

such a cool car, being a wagon, I think the A/T is a pretty good fit. carry on

[@ohthatvolvoguy6551]

Been waiting for this build, love evo's, love wagons even more. Always great videos guys.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

i need you guys to go back to basics and just do random track day videos with your garage. Badass 2000 era, just once a month highlight two of your cars that are sitting on the shelf behind you and bring it to the track with its closest competitor on the shelf. is the Evo 9 Wagon a match for a M3 Wagon or supercharged Lexus? well we will find out next month 😂

[@carguy1320]

This is exactly what I am looking for! Need a new family car.

[@Zerofightervi]

If you want an even more budget friendly Mitsubishi wagon-ish vehicle try a Airtrek Turbo R. It's basically a gen 1 Outlander body with Evo VII GT-A running gear.

[@OnlyDominican]

Once you get a tuner who knows how to tune these autos they become even more magical

[@911engineguy]

Gorgeous exhaust system.

[@ceilingbro]

I love them! Keep the rain guards!

[@a6thomas574]

That super turbo exhaust is top teir evo parts list spec

[@Spookas]

I've always loved the older Evos but I never knew they made a wagon! I'm stoked you guys are doing a wagon build. I'm in my mid 20s and only started to realise my love for dad wagons! I bought a Mazda 6 wagon and love it! Any chance you guys will bring back Mod My Car?

[@91ludesit]

DANGIT PT, so freaking envious, this is my dream dad daily, but not legal here for a few more years yet.

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Trevor from MotionAuto TV made himself his own EVO Wagon!

[@jacoblacroix9024]

Great job Peter car coming along ! Keep up the great videos

[@christophercasale7961]

Harder to get a straighter line out of the turbo. That exhaust is just beautiful.

[@ChoPi-Eww]

That's like from a diesel pickup

[@johnu808]

I’ve been waiting for this one for such a long time!!!

[@scottibass]

Speed Academy washing the engine and engine bay before working on it, I AM SHOOK

[@GleepGlop2]

The rain visors help the JDM look but I'd have to see how it looks with them off. When you track test this you have to load the back with kids to make it a proper test.

[@Stigs722]

Finally a video worth watching!

[@michaelneal7505]

hopefully a full transmission build is coming in future videos. those autos dont tolerate much more then stock power levels

[@yaroslavburmaka1449]

Here for wagon content!

[@johnny5549]

Awesome! I want one of these. Excited to see what you do with it.

[@Cole.Van.]

Love you guys and love the videos, been watching for years, but when you do an exhaust install video without the car ready to start/hear it really feels like a momentum killer. I’d rather wait to see the install when the car is ready to run. Just a thought

[@BimbakPL]

Idk, but smooth jazz while working on a jdm car is wierdly appropriate.

[@oooktak]

The build ive been waiting for!!!!

[@markygti138]

Quick, cheap and easy. All words I’d associate with an Evo 9 Wagon! 🤔

[@ArchangelJuicy]

yes, there were lancer wagons LHD, but they weren't the evo model in the US which was unfortunately. my buddy had a 2004 sportback rallyart

[@chrisp4899]

Back box looks mint

[@Josephasaurus]

FINALLY. Wagon life

[@JimCraig_riced]

Been waiting to see this one for a WHILE :)

[@AdinSLaboy]

Wow I like those upgrade I bet u will get easy 50 to 100hp more with that but you will need a ecu to get there

[@brentonfitzgerald7630]

The dodgy wiring being un-Japanese got me good hahaha. Like the most common thing to find next to dodgy repairs, rolled back speedos and unreliable auction ratings haha

[@williamhavers7460]

What took you so long. I’ve gone grey waiting for this one 😁

[@benmason7620]

Finally 😅. As a fellow gta owner I’ve been awaiting this 😊. Btw if you are after the best rear wing for these, there’s a guy in sirlanka remaking the ken style wing...

[@ofthenearfuture]

Love a good quick build!

[@TeraaHD]

Those lines are for the radiator as you said, however, it's not a "warmer". The radiator has a built in cooler for transmission fluid to run through to essentially cool the oil. Manual radiators obviously don't have that hence why it's looped as you've also mentioned. But just a correction; it's not a warmer, its a cooler.

[@speedacademy]

There’s a cooler for the trans oil already so the rad is likely a warmer for the winter but still an extra cooler in the summer.

[@mapwheel00]

That's one of the best-looking exhaust setups I've seen. Gotta lose that weird trim piece at the rear of the car.

[@Eze_dnb]

Yes been waiting for this!

[@linearnote]

The inlet of the HKS muffler has an outer diameter of 65 mm. It is best to modify.

[@turbo4lyfe1]

hell yea more evo stuff!!!

[@wurstcrewchief2798]

About freaking time!!

[@imSchwaggy]

Glad ur not manual swapping it. Can probably tune the auto to make it a bit faster too.

[@a6thomas574]

Been waiting for this one👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@msoydanjr]

This one screams LHD and manual swaps all at once :)

[@m4xripper]

This gonna be a sick build makes me wonder if there will be a face off and what D.P will get

[@bluechox]

Need to hear it

[@ThePogapog]

haven't finished the video yet, but as an owner of one of these cars im guessing the copper winding is due to the replacement of the radiator with a manual evo radiator, the auto radiators are different and had a channel for cooling atf fluid

[@spazda_mx5]

Glad you're not LHD converting it!

[@dustinkaviani]

Exqueeze me? Did you say two years? I remember watching the video when you got it. It can’t be two years ago!

[@jjfordingpoursoulstudios8581]

Wagoon gang!!!

[@pcfronin]

I think Dave needs a Altezza Gita (SportCross) for a wagon off

[@maxwhite6621]

Yesss!!!! So sad that these are not legal to import to the US :D

[@DugEphresh]

OMG, I want one so bad!
