We Bought The Cheapest Evo X In The County And Turned It Into This

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks for all the support with this project guys, since the day we blight it and made the first video to now this has been a lot of fun to modify and transform

[@4b11thatch]

Even in the state it was in,15k was an absolute steal.Well Done guys

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah we got very lucky

[@4b11thatch]

I have said this so many time on your videos already mate but am going to say it again,it's such a tasteful quality BUILD! Absolute masterpiece 👏

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks so much it's greatly appreciated

Just picked up an evo10 in the u.s for a very similar price a black gsr with 52k miles. Engine is running great. The issue with mine is wheel arch damage. Previous owner got it pit maneuvered while running from cops and traded it in for a Tacoma. Got it for 17.4k and in the middle of fixing the damage. New door, getting the wheel arch pulled and fixing the quarter panel.

[@JacksonStrain]

Ohh damn sucks for the previous owner bit a great score for you. I hope you get it all sorted and it treats you well

[@az_3kgt714]

@@JacksonStrain yea sourcing a door atm to put on there once I get the wheel arch pulled. $300 for a color matched door isnt too bad. lol Looks like between 1,500-2000 usd to get it squared away lol. Not too bad imo

[@fil23ralliart]

I remember seeing this in real life for the first time at AK, that colour is so nice. It just not a normal red. I'd call it Magma! "Tis a beautiful car.

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks Phil the colour is definitely something special

[@FABCasso]

That steering wheel looks amazing!

[@JacksonStrain]

It's definitely a nice piece

[@rogueassassingaming9498]

Absolutely mint car made me like the red so much after seeing this one on your channel

[@JacksonStrain]

Haha I'm the same now to be honest I love the red and used to not think I liked it

[@Bobbie_Lee84]

Gosh, the engine bay.... so exciting.

[@JacksonStrain]

It definitely came up a treat

[@chrisdoesthis3571]

Such a nice Evo

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks mate

[@kelbyelkner3223]

Love the look of the car but as a untouched evo x mr TMR 270kw I don't know how people think when you modified a car that it doesn't increase value as mine I bought about 2 years ago was 37k with 63 000 km is now valued at 60k by shannons but I see highly modified evos trying to sell for about the same price.

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks, mods definitely can increase the value but obviously only quality parts will fall under that. This car for example has only quality parts and is well tuned and maintained so would be easy to sell for good money, but in saying that we can easily swap the majority of interior and cosmetic parts back to stock and sell those and then sell the car as FBO 300 ish kw X MR. Either way we find it fun to modify a car to our tastes and enjoy driving something unique

[@shanedawes]

The perfect MR

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks mate that's the goal for the car

[@ricardosimon1975]

Nice evo how did you do the red strip garnish?

[@JacksonStrain]

It's from a 2017 black edition lancer here in Australia, the same place we got all the OEM black roof and pillar pieces

[@ricardosimon1975]

@@JacksonStrain oh ok and what about the rear tail lights with the clear markers where did you get those?

[@brunolevis5493]

Ready to buy it back one day :P

[@brunolevis5493]

Car looks incredible!!! I love it, well done guys

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks Bruno

[@KojoKCofie]

Could I know how much the engine cost? And where could I get one please

[@JacksonStrain]

I think it was around 3 or 4k aud and we just got another one from a wrecked Evo so all the parts could swap straight over and even use the same tun me but with just a small touch up by the tuner

[@ricardosimon1975]

Where did you get the rear tail lights with the clear markers?

[@JacksonStrain]

Got them used off a friend, they used to be on ebay a bit but I can't find them anymore

[@ricardosimon1975]

@@JacksonStrain ok thanks buddy

[@SSGSSHOKAGEEE]

Engine bay is prestine!

[@JacksonStrain]

It definitely came up nicely

[@fps-gs3hz]

I can't believe this was 15k 😮 would cost 50k or more in the current market

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah it would for sure we got lucky

[@imgroot5845]

An evo 10 for 15K...Damn..Back in my country, even a crappy one costs more than 85K🥴...U lucky aussies😄

[@JacksonStrain]

Oh trust me we got lucky this would be advertised for around 50k+ these days in the current market. It's just that we bought when the market was at its lowest when the seller was desperate to sell

[@imgroot5845]

@@JacksonStrain Oh ok...the thing here is there are only less than 18 Evo 10 cars in my country..So thats probably why its so expensive here.. BTW iam curious to know..does the Lancer to Evo conversion culture exist in Australia too?
