CHEAP EVO 6 Rebuild Complete + Wheel Reveal!

would have gone with the orange turn signals. Everything else is 100% on point

Go with the dark with the amber turn signals

Me to man orange ! All the way

[@samdrown37]

Totally agree

[@meatmissilED]

I’ve always had a thing for amber turn signals . Side markers compliments the corners .

[@ardyshane23]

Second that. Loved the jdm ambers on my eg civic back in the day.

[@That_fella_named_J]

Agreed, I don't think it breaks up the looks much but to me it adds definition to Mitsubishi. Not only period correct but also at their proper design peak

[@dyIanVII]

Depends on the car IMO, some they look awful (S13 coupes are a pretty good example, make the car look wayyyy older) but others they work.

[@DazzaST225]

Seen many of cars let down by its interior, Would like to see how you improve it on video. great job by the way

[@tanakamandibaya2560]

Its stock inside. Its 21 years old it aint going to look like a modern whip inside

[@WelshyAutomotive]

Black Housed with amber turn signal, my csx type s had black houses headlights, and the car was silver, i always loved the way it looked.

[@viriatvsoflvsitania5422]

Stock headlights all the way! It suits it as the car looks completely stock anyway. That thing looks beautiful, I was always a big fan of the Evo VI.

[@vomdeich1011]

[@aanas_evo1713]

The OEM setup you have with clear sides looks amazing! I like ure decision, definitely keep it like how it is. Also the Evo looks AWESOME love the build, can't wait to see it on the track

[@xynthetic4]

Amber corners look so good !

[@XR4turbo]

The amber corners look so hot. That's what I'd go for. However, you're seeing the car in person so you have the best perspective. Also, it's your car! edit: Beautiful choice in wheels, they kind of have that alternate-universe OEM look. This car is one of the best and my favorite builds on youtube. Awesome job.

[@kylehufford9645]

Go for Black Headlight Housing! please do video of interior work!

[@shadowxps]

Honestly I know I’m in the minority but I like the stock look, nice and subtle. The amber is very loud. Also I’m more than willing to watch an interior video. More evo is good content.

[@keshandesilva2925]

The black housing with amber will look rlly nice

[@chrisb.6616]

I LOVE SEM Trim Black! Painted all the subtle faded plastic bits, even the ones not too noticable like the antenna tip and base, wiper arms and door handles on my car and it totally transformed it to a newer looking vehicle.

PT getting a bit too excited to show us his car ;)

[@damonbaggs3296]

Very tasteful...nice work! Quick tip on the front coolers, oil, intercooler, radiator...etc. I found installing a basic foam insulation around the edges from one cooler to the other (sandwiched between each) will help the cooling. It forces the air through all of the coolers. Without something to direct the air through the coolers, it will take the path of least resistance. For example, of the total amount of air that passes through the first intercooler, a smaller % will then pass through the next cooler, and the a % of that air will pass through the next, and so on...so forth. With some insulation, a larger % of air will increase going through...less air will be loss.

[@torks2339]

Needs the amber indicator. It's just silver on silver on silver. Way too much!

[@strongerandwiser2023]

You need the amber side lights if your going for the stock look. Thats how they came. This is coming froma guy who is currently running clear though haha! Mine will be swapped for amber once the restoration is complete. Ive gone all out on mine. I may put some video's up on my build soon !

[@rafapozzan]

Black housing and amber turn signal or oem, one piece is too modern for the car

[@Patrick94GSR]

I wouldn't say modern, more like too early 2000's ricer look.

[@robbienicoll]

Lets see the interior work : ) looks brilliant from the putside now. OEM lights look spot on.

[@EcBuddy123]

I'm glad you made a decision, I personally would have done stock with the amber corners and sides. Maybe one day I'll buy an Evo. I would really like an Evo 9mr. Or the dsm 2 for evos

[@jalisurr]

You made the right choice on the lights! Looks good. Love the wheels too

[@christiantakkebos6493]

would definitely go with the black housing and amber turn signal, the amber gives it a pop of color among the silver paint

[@alisterhemmings8121]

Love the rims though. Absolutely love the stance

[@Jakeishness]

For sure want to see what you do on the interior! I'm sure a lot of people want to just see it running but I think we're invested enough to want to see everything!

[@constantproject1450]

I like the black main headlights with the orange side markers, I think it looks to plain with the ones you have on there

[@m.hernandez91]

This is absolutely the most gorgeous EVO. Love how everything is stock. Can’t never go wrong with the stock look. Love it! Keep up the great work!!

[@BoostedCajun]

The OEM lights with the clear lenses, are played out and make the car look cheap. The headlights with the amber turn signals are dope, and it gives that kind modern touch, but not too modern.

[@_Machine631_]

black housing looks the best. the wheels look really good. gives it a timeless early 90's vibe. And I vote yes to seeing interior upgrades.

[@Gravstein]

Love the "stock" look!

[@ChickenDaddie]

Yes show interior stuff! I think you chose right on the lights, love the amber but it looks so clean with the clear. Car looks amazing!

[@puggy454]

For some reason, the amber turn signal looks really good to me. I would like to see it with the factory headlight housing

[@simonmaguire1629]

Deadset one of the best build series I’ve seen on KZbin. Great work.

[@marc9283]

wish you went with 17" wheels instead but apart from that i love how this car is coming out, good work Pete

[@Ouiya4200]

My evo has 18’ and they look so much better than 17’s

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

16 FTW

[@randyranderson1621]

I have 17" RPF1's with 45 profile RE003's on my Evo IV, the 18's ride too hard with coilovers and you cant find much high-performance rubber in the 16" size, its usually 15" or 17"+ for race rubber.

[@von...]

@@randyranderson1621 damn thats lame, you should rock 22" tri-spoke wheels for maximum performance

[@luch993]

Great job guys..... Love that fact that you didn't go wild on the looks. Very much like the subtle aggressive look. Great choice if wheel and tyre.

[@Figureight]

I've looked at getting the one piece lights before for my Evo, purely because the original lights don't have much room for improvement on light output and the headlights are generally pretty poor compared to modern standards. But problem is I've seen many setups where people have done them and they've ended up with bumper sag from the parts they had to cut to fit them in, so it's put me off attempting it. Especially if I then find I don't like them. I also really like the amber sidelights which you can't really do with the one piece setup, short of you taking the lens off and then putting like a clear orange wrap on the reflectors, which could look cool. I'd be curious to see someone try that. I've also thought about the twin light version of those where one side has the inside reflectors wrapped or sprayed to be yellow. Actually what I really wish they made was just a remake of just the headlight clusters, not including the indicator part, and having one of those with a twin light setup I think would look really nice. That said, the stock headlights + amber side markers is just such a classic look. I've still got the clears on mine and trying to find a set of ambers from a 5 or 6.5. I bought a set on ebay but turned out to be for a 4 which had different shape headlights so they don't match up, so need to keep looking. The black lights though I'm not a fan of honestly. Personally I'd just buff back the stock light cluster and pair with the amber indicator cluster. My 6 is also silver and I just felt like the all clear look just drained too much colour out of the car. The amber indicators adds a bit back in which I think looks nice. Also definitely don't think the back needs dropping any more. The nose down stance is exactly how all Evos should sit. Looks great.

[@MTrefry2]

Hey! Figureeight in the wild! I really enjoy your vids man.

[@exilegti160]

Hey Pete, I totally agree that you should wait for Dave to do the startup, seeing two mates react to the fruits of all the hard work is half the reason that I enjoy your channel so much. Others may say differently but I'm sure when you are old and grey that you will look back at these times and think "yeah Dave and I did that" those are the real memories that you will never forget. Digging the ride height, although the rear looks a little low to me, it may rub pretty bad. 18's seem's a little ambitious with the gentlemen low on the track. I hope that I am wrong though it looks badass. Thank you for another great video in these hard times, you guys are Legends!

[@dmitri.spector]

For the interior add-in some telemetry + track related bits and you've got an extra episode 😁🤯

[@Perception_]

This final look is just bang on. It's simply clean and timeless and it just works time and time again.

[@BigMin100]

I had my heart set on black with amber but I love the standard headlight and indicators now after they’ve been polished up!

[@gelokaskasero]

Amber signals and corners. It's so pale up front, but the rear looks amazing with the contrasting tail lights.

[@JOLLYROGERS266]

THE AMBER TURN SIGNALS MAN CMONN

[@Dallasjcutler]

Many BOVs allow both push and pull type installation. Pull type like you have it will hold more boost but will not modulate power well. You basically get big dumps in power when you do a slight lift causing lift surge. That BOV in general isn't known for good modulation also. A push style with a large upper vacuum area will let the car have more force (psi x area) holding closed than charge pipe trying to open and hole power well. Then the pressure difference with small lifts ( like 100% down to 75%) wont have the surge issue.

[@caseynelson625]

The Evo is perfect. Hope to one day bring my Dodge Stealth to this level of greatness.

[@proper_canadian1797]

Better be the r/t twin turbo if you wanna make it somewhere

[@Reece.P]

Really like how OEM+ this looks! Some paint on certain brackets and some carbon under the bonnet would look very tidy

[@JTheMoneyable]

The black housed one looks best, I think.

[@kc510]

I think you made the right call. Loving all of your builds! Hopefully can build my own one day and see you guys on the track.

[@tuurbow]

one piece headlights are the definition of rice. Stock headlights with amber signals ftw, just retrofit a projector on them

[@marklll2072]

[@douglasjohnson6582]

[@miiiiiike]

GREAT JOB! You have transformed the car from the neglected state it was in. Love the back-to-original restorations and restrained modifications (except for the forged 4G63!)

[@LegacyThoughts]

WOW. This turned out so good. I respect your decision on the stock headlights. Sometimes simple is better, and the design from the factory is just fine.

[@JMART3LL]

PT, loving the build! I would have loved to see you go with Enkei's wheels that are more tarmac rally spec, like the NT03RR wheels. I also am a fan of the amber corners and sides, especially on the silver car - it pops so much more. Also, with the heated plastic bonder, try holding it rotated 90 degrees relative to the crack so there are more wires running across the crack instead of the single wire - it should melt more material together and save you a lot of time.

[@chrisschenk_]

I’m a huge Subaru fan and this is by far my favorite build on the channel. Car looks incredible! Keep up the good work

[@Chad.D]

the clear makes it period correct and more clean. i love that you kept it silver and got some timeless double spoke wheels. looks outstanding.👌

[@gottithehun]

You have done such a good job with this build. The car looks fantastic, you should be proud of your work. Cannot wait to see it round a race-track.

[@Firemanchamp]

Great build!!! Please keep the content coming! By all means, bring us a “little details” video, I personally love watching cars get perfected! Since you asked, my only complaint on the aesthetics would be the clear front corner markers. Reminds me of the “Alteza” years. Give the amber corners a chance!

[@matthewrobertson9986]

Black + Amber would get my vote for the contrast against the silver! And Advan AD08’s are a great choice, loved them on my E90. Stance and wheels look great!

[@giorx5]

Evo 6 TME is THE LEGEND of JPN AWD vehcles alongside the '05 STi. My opinion. Great job there with this great car. Have fun driving it properly on track! I wouldn't lower it so much though. Let the diffs make their job. No need to keep it so close to the pavement.

[@shiftdowntv4511]

Like the build a lot, Pete. Looks great. I'd be interested to see any more of the little interior/finishing up details.

[@TheMiloking]

Black and Amber! Badass and class at same time

[@carburgerlaa]

Looks great Pete, good work. Super subtle exterior yet obviously modified and well done at that.

[@ctoforhire]

Plastic repair tip - If it's ABS, try using standard ABS plumbing cement! Works great for re-welding cracked ABS parts and after sanding down, looks damn near factory. :)

[@gabea.458]

Looks awesome. The BOV didn't look odd to me but I sold a lot HKS SSQV pull type valves back in the day. Pete another good option for any black trim that oxidizes is try Meguiar's #39 to clean it and Solution Finish. That's the magic combo. The stock lights look good, the only thing I'd do is swap the orange bulbs for ones that still flash orange but don't reflect orange. They used to make ones that had a silver coating but I think everyone goes LED now. I really like those black housing ones too but only if you can get someone to customize the corner light to match.

[@awdobsession717]

The head lights look sharp now! Although the orange corners really started to look good 2 and tied in the orange side marker indicator lights. You should 125% show your interior work being done to the Evo as many of us here in the US are starting to buy these JDM cars and don’t have as much knowledge on what US parts can transfer over to JDM interior (like the mirage for example). I bought a 1994 Lancer Evolution II GSR recently and I’m still learning little by little about it.

[@joaoPadeiroSport]

This is one of the most beautifull cars that came out of japan in the 90's and its a rally legend! You did good keeping the stock headlights, i like the wheels too, looks really nice on the car! Congrats, on this build, cant wait to see it tuned and on the road! Good job!

The front with the grill and the stock headlights. Just perfect. You could put chromed turn signal bulbs just not to have that orange reflection. It's just a detail.

[@michaelstowe-badr6129]

Solid solid work with the car, cant wait to her it run and she how it performs

[@JoWaYMusic]

The orange bulb is the only thing that makes it what you thought. Too old school. If you like that style and those lenses. My suggestion would be to get LED bulbs for the blinkers that blink orange so they won’t have that orange bulb color in the back of them when not in use.

[@Stigs722]

Love to see Pete excited
