Stickers for 2k?! You could've spent that some on performance parts, the car already looked good

[@giancarlolugo9586]

Ironically Mike hates OE and aftermarket parts, that he finds in the cars, he buys (most very expensive and tasteful) and yet he puts an horrible wrap, It reminds me like the RX7 FD from years ago.

[@giancarlolugo9586]

@@husk1c the wrap on the wheels was fine, but why Mike had to add it on the body. At least Ed added properly modifications, (as always) with new intercooler and supporting mods, after increasing the boost at the remap shop. I remember when Mike removed the set of Nismo lmgt2's,(OE wheels) from that red 300ZX Z32, and the watanabe RS's from the RX7 FB, also Ant removed the blowoff valve from the Mitsu GTO VR4, and those nice Work wheels what a joke.

Great project, great build but I'm sorry the graphics absolutely ruined it and made it look like something a chav with a few grand in his back pocket would have done via a trip to Halfords. It would have looked far more credible if you'd had themed it in the Mitsubishi Ralliart logos.

[@OggaDugga]

I feel like they did it for the sake of consistency. Remember they did the same thing with WRX many years ago.

[@Cobra83.]

Totally agree, worst thing they done. Could of saved the 2k and spent more on a better clutch kit 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@zedi924]

Then again a chav did build it 🥸

Almost 2k on a ugly wrap that will add absolutely nothing to the value of the car and be pulled off by the any decent owner!!

[@WilfredZweverink]

Right, nice teaser, cutting out almost all of Elvis rebuilding that engine. I'd cherish that car, most certainly not spend £2K on the shoddy stickers. There is value in this car, come on guys, be more serious..

[@ryno9732]

I think all the rest of that is maybe kept for whichever channel they air this show on.

[@chrisdooley6468]

@@ryno9732 exactly. They show all the rebuild parts on the full 45 minute show. I’m sure the full show is on YT somewhere. Episodes with popular cars like this are often uploaded on here

[@mobility63]

Love my totally rebuilt Evo Vlll withe the 4G63. That's a good looking car with the Blue by You color. Too bad the graphics make it look like a cheap knockoff, when it's the real thing. Great fun to drive and that feeling when you drop down a gear and power slide out of the corner.

[@skylinefever]

Typically if and engine is disassembled enough to remove the crank, the engine gets a quick hone and a new set of piston rings. I'm fairly certain 4G63T pistons rings are that expensive anyway. You don't have to get full price rings from the stealership. NPR makes a lot of OEM rings for Japanese cars and they cost less than dealer price. 6:26 I didn't expect someone in the UK to be using a measuring tool in inches. The country went metric ages ago. In the USA, many people use a tool that measures inches because they were left over from when cars weren't metric. Good measuring tools cost a lot of money, so using conversions on metric engines made sense. I'm glad to see the name "Mitutoyo" on the micrometer. Cheap precision measuring tools usually aren't accurate. 8:00 You have to take a second measurement after polishing. If it's good, then you can move on. If not, the first undersize for a 4g63T crank is -.25mm 8:56 AYC pumps are very expensive. However, if your core is decent, some specialists can rebuild them.

[@BlackRose-vi2yg]

Elvis is up there with Ed. Never really took to Ant but all of the shows in the states were just poorly done I think. Just my opinion of course

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

[@lagcossy7354]

That wrap !! What a waste of money 🤑

[@neilk22]

There is a better chemistry between these two than mechanics before, life past Ed that is. I’m surprised at the body wrap cost and result. Did the wrap include a paint correction? The car does seem more bright.

[@patrick103b]

Anybody else notice the sump bolts were already missing as he turned the engine over

[@richardburns5925]

That's because..........they are a faff to all undo and usually the sump is stuck. So....... quickly showing us him turning the engine over on the stand with a bolt still in to hold the sump, then undoing a sump bolt and lifting the sump straight off is a better clip and shorter than showing him undoing all the bolts, prising the sump off.......its TV dude.

[@df9834]

Elvis is class! What a decent fella 👌

[@easyerc2226]

French blue 7 😍 ruined it with the stickers as you always do with a performance car 🤣🤣

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

The 4g63 doesn’t just throw rods . Over boosted/ bad tune. Hope the cause was investigated

[@Jamie-Evo]

Mike telling him to go easy at the end when it hadn't even come on boost... now it looks like lightning McQueen with that shite stuck all over it.

[@gpaul340]

Lovely french blue 7 ruined by those stickers! Could have forged the engine for that 2k seeing as it was out and all.... mad.

[@billygrey8087]

The wrap literally devalued the car…and was like £2k…then they spent only like £750 on the engine when that’s the most important part…for real ??

I went to see a yellow Evo VII for sale round the corner from where I live, the dealer wanted 15k for it. It was an utter wreck. Rust on every panel, needed paint on every panel, it lived by the sea most of its life unfortunately. Mike did well to find this one in good condition bodywise. The engines aren't really that hard to get hold of, body panels however, especially the chassis parts are getting very hard to source.

A rod out of a block usually indicates a high torque output from the engine. I'd imagine that car was remapped beyond what the toothpick factory rods could handle. Not to mention the amount of idiots that put the "pops and bangs" maps on that do the engine no favours. No mention of the turbo that would have had all that swarf pass through it either.

How would bottom end debris have made its way though the exhaust into the turbo?

@@patrickdixon4945 bottom end swarf will have contaminated the oil and without any question of a doubt. It would have been drawn up the strainer and pushed through the oil feed pipe into the turbo.
