THE ABANDONED EVO 8 RESTORATION | EP. 46

[@convenientcarchannel]

Just a tip, a really good way to remove old wheel weight stickers, is by using a rubber decal wheel attachment for a drill. Does no harm to the finish, and takes it off super easily. Food for thought in the future!

[@lllDolph]

The wheel/caliper combo is very clean. I’d consider slapping on some coated brake rotors at minimum if you’re not going to go all out. For this caliber of build it’d be a shame to see some rust brown rotor hats behind those beautiful wheels, just my 2cents. Keep up the good work!

[@mfdavisca]

Your content is awesome. You motivate me daily. The work I do on my evo is better/cleaner because of you. I look forward to every video. I lost my Dad a few years ago...he was my go to guy for questions and advice. You have been a great influence on me. I dont know you but feel like you are a great buddy just by watching your evo builds. Thanks for what you do. It means more than you know. Matt

[@chrismillion3151]

Hey just a little tip…. When you’re removing a tire from the rim and it has a TMPS sensor, you want the sensor placed behind the head of tire machine so it doesn’t break when the tire is coming off fully.

[@RonanDon118]

This is by far your classiest build. So different to your builds in the past as they are usually alot more flashy. My favourite build yet! All your choices have just been perfect and the attention to detail is brilliant ❤️

[@DRsobczak]

Brother, get a box fan, a furnace air filter that is like a 8 or 9 rating and just tape it to the back of the fan. Point the fan away from you while PC'ing and it will trap the powder in filter. this should help cut down on the mess you talk about when PC'ing. I do it when I spray paint in my garage.

[@EvoSteve89]

Wheel and caliper color choices are PERFECT man. Super clean. With a loud color like yellow, you need to keep the ancillary parts colored a neutral, and you nailed it 👌🏻

[@cr1mzun879]

you should look into desmond regamaster evo 2’s, those look insane on 8’s and 9’s. they would look insane in an aluminum/brushed finish on the yellow 8

[@terrancecollins2696]

The best thing about this series is almost everything you take apart you immediately refresh, repaint, renew, or replace right away … there’s no wait and see to it and it makes it a much more enjoyable series to watch and still enticing every episode

[@TStig39]

You can buy an assistant arm to reduce the risk of damaging the rim. It's very good for low profile tires. Also get some edge rubber protector to help

[@cubedcorefpv165]

The wheel caliper combo looks great, it’s subtle and doesn’t clash. Nice work!

[@AlecCascardo]

A brushed aluminum wheel on the yellow would be crazy

[@beofflxne7014]

Frl

[@Muhkay-z7x]

Agreed

[@Sh3rr1ff]

I feel like they would blend into the brakes too much

[@beofflxne7014]

@@Sh3rr1ff white would be good too

[@beofflxne7014]

@@Sh3rr1ff or silver hehehe

[@hunterheidrich5171]

This is honestly the best look for this car !!!! Honestly super happy to see this car looking this good bro keep after it brother!!!

[@MURATAYA2008]

I do love the whole combo of everything. Im surprised you didn't powder coat the rotors at all to help from any rust, also if you want just a smidge more contrast maybe hold a red decal up to the rotors. it would give it an APracing brake look or nickel plated brembo look from motorcycles

[@mattbaumsten8837]

I like the ZE40s, but the MagBlue TE is the jam my dude!

[@95theRasmus]

Car looks perfect. Definitely the right call on every color. Now that you can actually see it come to life its amazing

[@vinbags]

I think the wheel and brake colors are perfect..so clean!

[@doherty-z2e]

thanks for every episode

[@AdamTees]

Loving the build! Was hoping for a bronze wheel option though 🤔

[@charlied6156]

Looks amazing with the muted brake and wheel combo with such a bright yellow

[@pants912]

I'm really digging this build a lot. Yellow isn't my favorite color but you're making it look so sick.

[@KH102695]

Caliper and wheel combo is super clean! Definitely love to see some upgraded rotors. A build of this quality deserves them.

[@Madvillian83]

Great video bro I really like those rims and the brake caliper color definitely a good decision. You are still progressing at a decent pace but nothing wrong with taking a break and knocking out some odd jobs on other cars, keep up the grind Devin

[@sferreirac]

Total WIN on the colours choice, wheels and calipers.. just perfect!! ❤

[@jamesmccabe107]

You can buy rim protectors to stop chipping and scratching when removing tyres also a caramel wheel is a good and clean way of removing wheel weight adhesive

[@hankl722]

Project is coming along great, love the daily vids!!! Look forward every day to the progress

[@tougestylegarage]

The caliper color is phenomenal looking. Wheel choice and color flows so nicely

[@KauBoySL]

Gray/Silver calipers hit real good and clean. I always finish my calipers in silver since it looks the cleanest.

[@ssjrockooo1407]

Definitely get the plastic head for the tire mount machine saves you the headache of scratching wheels and always buy more than 1. Keep up the work man been a fan since the black Hawkeye on bags

[@bgarciaink]

Wheel/caliper color choice is clean and perfect 👌🏻 you made the right choice

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I liked the patina that were on the brakes. An aged car might be a good theme for a future build? 🤔

[@hwk_un1te915]

Just got recommended your channel cant believe i have missed you, great work keep it up 🎉

[@keith61]

Glad you’re back at the Evo cab, powder coating has been around a while, since the 40’s. Great work, keep at it. 😀

[@jonathanbaidya2287]

hell yes you made the right call, looks very clean and i love the way its turning out

[@mikes.4811]

Watching your video's and the passion you put into your work helps me get the ambition to work on my own cars. Thanks! 🖖

[@JoniSaarinen87]

When you remove the tire from the rim, spray soapy water on both sides between the rim and the tire so it comes off easier. 👌🏻

[@DevinGT350R]

I think the mag blue te37s with some 265/35/18s would be mint, but the graphite gray also looks very good. Definitely coat the rotor top hats and outer edges!

[@therealdiegoalunan]

I just spent on a few washers bolts for oil tranny and diff cost me 100 bucks oem parts for the win for my Evo 9 .. you inspired me to do everything nice once again

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

This wheel set up with the Brembo's are really good!

[@drd237]

Looks great I have the same style rim in black. I’m running 255’s and it’s quite aggressive. Glad to see you went with the same color as mine. You don’t see many yellow evo’s running around. Wish mine was as nice as yours lol.

[@benchw4rmers]

Agreed definitely a beautiful setup but fs wanna at least see the mag blues TEs at some point very curious! Keep working hard man!

[@kuger7876]

Great work man car looks great. Some white Regamasters would’ve work great too

[@matt.p8060]

Haha I'm on smoko at work and I'm watching your video of you rebuilding calipers, which is what I do all day lmao.

[@Maxii_2646]

Excelent job Devin , Keep goin ! I love your videos, and watching the new wheels that you decided to apply, i like them more than the blue ive said before haha! Huggs from Argentina!

[@brap_stu_tu_tu]

The color combo is so tasteful brother 👏🏻 What pads do you normally run on your cars???

[@JaredTuominen]

Keep up the good work! You definitely have some talent with cars.

[@matejmuller6403]

Combo is spot on... It look's great. 👍👏

[@WalshEBoY]

Made the right call on the wheels and brakes 👌

[@Loatsofdetail]

Love the daily uploads. The evo looks amazing you’re doing a killer job

[@alexj.9268]

While dismounting tires, you need a spray bottle with soapy water which will prevent scratches on the rims and tears on the rubber. Use for mounting and dismounting, will change your life.

[@Allan_2002]

The only thing I would’ve done different is I would’ve done yellow Brembo stickers. Great job! Keep em coming

[@ej1975sok]

Dustin Williams just put TE’s on his evo. Looks good. What ever you choose I’m sure will look good.

[@QuintVandijk-vq5ji]

sick video again! cant wait till the build is done!

[@kevind_53]

Stay strong, the car is coming along nicely 🚗💥💨🔥

[@SilentKiller-fx1qj]

Coming along nicely and looks amazing

[@FreeVidsChannel]

Devin comes once again to save the day with this hugely sweet beautiful yellow bee of a car! 👌

[@dylonharris4089]

I wait all freaking day for you to post a video that feels like it’s only 10 minutes 😫

[@willio356]

Nice to see some better tires mounted! I would really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the tires once you drove with them!! I, myself am thinking about the PS 91 for my RS3

[@artblackwood7936]

Excellent choices in colors so far! You must be up near 40,000 in labor so far.

[@SkylarThibodeau]

I’m running diamond black ze40s on my satin white pearl STi and it is such a great combo.

[@hypedennis82]

Brake cleaner or carb cleaners yes if its some type of cheap coating it will peal but other factory coating or powder thats the best way

[@soulmanonthebeat]

Deff the right call on the wheels and brakes

[@IglesiasRaul7895]

El auto va a quedar asombroso, al terminar sería genial que te metieras con el honda Nsx. Sería genial.

[@henrycastellon4397]

Diamond silver Te37’s would look great as well. Would make the yellow pop even more

[@cj41079]

Keep pushing bro...doing great! ❤

[@CypHill]

The wheels and calipers look good and will look better if you have some small exterior carbon fiber accents

[@otagunma86]

Wheel setup mint! 👌👌

[@igornikolic1819]

Where’s the ceramic coating on the calipers?? Looks great man keep up the good work

[@kurtabo208]

This setup is MONEY, well done.

[@anthonya8122]

Dude, you didnt add the directional brembo half-shim over the top of the pads full shim. If you get any squealing, be sure to re add them on top of the full shim, per mitsu/brembo service guides . This was the problem on both my old evo 5 and 8mr years back. Squealing and missing from both cars and found nothing but brake lube there trying to circumvent.

[@_Machine631_]

that color combo is very subtle. the yellow is very out there so I wouldn't want an out there in your face accent color. I would for sure powder the rotor hats black so they dont start showing surface rust after a lttle bit.

[@gimmethecarkeys]

Coat the rotor hats... blackjack from prismatic... babies will start rusting after a drive... looking good tho! This series has been awesome!

[@alanbarnett2582]

FYI, you have a Works down pipe, you need the flat gasket and the brass large bushing and the 3" donut gasket to adapt it to your O2 housing. WORKS Exhale DP (DownPipe) Mounting hardware kit. This kit was designed to use an OEM style cast O2 housing with the 76mm WORKS Exhale Downpipe. It includes the following below.

[@Chase_AM]

Last time I rebuilt brembos I just replaced that inner o ring with a similar ID/OD EPDM o-ring and haven’t had issues.

[@daxmurrell1707]

I personally love a meaty tire setup and a more aggressive stance but I understand why you went with more of a flush fitment

[@manny7895]

If i had the amount of knowledge Devin has, I would have a collection of Evos hand built ❤️

[@ana00xx98]

The pressed graphite TE’S would of looked insane with the yellow . Best choice

[@dadstro]

The weekend warrior lol. Devin you powder coat just about everyday

[@Hawkdriver511]

Perfect wheel type, color is solid

[@anthonybarnes666]

Looking so amazing keep up the good

[@richardroberti1192]

Chrome, silver or brushed aluminum wheels will really surprise you how good they look on yellow!

[@justdopemovementsphotograp7137]

Just my opinion, I mean everything is subjective, but I believe the darker color wheel on a yellow car can only be appreciated up close, pictures, and video will not do it justice, probably why white wheel on yellow works on pictures and video 😊😊😊 love the work... much love from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦

[@kohlgossler7083]

The 3M Strip Off wheel is the way to go for removing wheel weight residue.

[@benturner-mann5786]

As if you dont zinc coat the bolts for the caliper wow that would fit this build i feel

[@HybridTrickingGER92]

Hey Devin, would you mind sharing the torque specs for the bolts keeping the calipers half’s together? I’m currently also refurbishing the Brembos on my Evo 8 and can’t find them online… Apart from that I think the grey on the calipers was the right call, they look very clean! But I would have gone with mag blue wheels. I think that combo with the yellow would look so sick!

[@Guero.Evox27]

Take care of yourself Dev. Don’t burn yourself out.

[@jasonpoihegatama1347]

Bronze wheels look good on yellow as well

[@KarinHonda]

Love the wheels and breaks

[@SilverSRT4]

Rims look awesome!

[@daibaker3351]

Looking nice how you got it all together looks bad ass bro

[@craigvirgin8461]

Against my usual taste, I really liked the blue wheels with the yellow. But the graphite ones look awesome too.

[@tomswindler64]

Great video as always,your talent shines thru.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@m1chi13l]

Slowly making my way through this series!

[@wormbrubeck1871]

You should do a dark metallic blue volk or rays have some decent options but it would look good, contrast but not to much

[@rayjhay8624]

Youve made the right choice it looks great

[@jaysonlewis2820]

Bruvvvvvv clean simple Silver

[@vincehgarage2273]

I've been wanting to ask you what fluid you use for stripping. The yellow container stuff.

[@waresgarage8590]

You should do yellow brake calibers with the zinc plating bolts

[@TMTFish]

Titanium Works polished axle nuts would compliment so nice if you went open center cap.

[@JMacTrades]

I think the color combos give an oem + look. I wouldn’t change it personally
