After 2 Years I Rebuilt My Broken Evo 9 

All of tall Ben’s vids: “I hope this thing runs this year” All of short Ben’s vids: “I spent $12,000 for 4lbs weight reduction”

IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS???

For a second i was worried we weren't gonna get any aussie accent this time

full engine removal, rebuild, reinstall, track day and breaking it again all in one video is pretty awesome

Nothing gets a car back together faster than a track day deadline.

Gonna miss Ben's Ausie accent when he talks about the P-Dublya-Arrrr product

I appreciate that Ben repeatedly takes on the risk of being sued by PWR for our amusement. Because I live for that accent.

Who edited this, specifically the audio, I really appreciate the bits of reverb and whatnot added to Ben & mark’s vocal track

Love seeing people learn from their mistakes I.e. Ben wearing a belt

Gears and Gasoline has ascended to the level of 'Saturday Morning Cartoons' for me.

It makes me so upset seeing a job that takes me 8 hours, take them 2 mins.

Babe wake up. The new gears and gasoline video is live.

your attempt at an Australian accent is far better that the vast majority of Americans (still shit but aussie approved😂), you may continue! 👍🇦🇺

3:05 please let me send you a proper size impact wrench and sockets

As a modified Evo owner, it just hurts seeing all of that carnage on those high end, expensive parts.

To G&G team: thanks for making videos consistently released Saturday mornings. It's become part of my weekend routine and something I really look forward to. Thanks!

"It's all fun and games until somebody loses a nut." Glad to see the EVO lives again!

Am I the only one who’s hoping that the wrap would be removed? 😬

I feel like a "Custom" stub shaft tool is mandatory for long term EVO ownership. I made a long "L" shaped "tool" that sticks out past the fender a few feet so I can use a larger sledge to tap it out.

I had a similar problem, after hard shifting at redline I pulled into my garage with a knock. I opened the engine to find the same bearing situation you had. I rebuilt and while installing the clutch realized that the center section was more "floater" than I remembered. I installed it anyway and the "rod knock" got worse! New clutch set and no more knock. This was a very expensive lesson.

Hot damn that PWR radiator looks incredible. I am now extremely tempted to put one on my Evo, its biggest weakness on track is definitely heat management

I've rebuilt a couple engines for folks who accidentally dropped a fastener. It's amazing what a washer can to do a rotary engine, and bolts/nuts can do some hefty damage to superchargers and turbochargers.

that work sequence combined with the music at 16:00 is *chefs kiss* glad your evo is back in working order!

What a gift to receive after finishing a 10 hour shift at work. Also, as an Australian viewer I love the accents you use

Petition that PWR has to let Ben talk in an Australian accent. Kinda disappointed we had to wait that long. Pee Duble U RRRRRRRRRRRR !

Ben , I have to say I commend your constant positivity, you seem like such a genuinely nice guy , I hope all goes well with a new Turbo and can’t wait to see Lana screaming again ! :)

One thing thats kinda subtle in this video is the fantastic music, really felt like I was building a car in Gran Turismo.

This is the most Focused and absolutely locked in, i have ever seen this Ben on a video. You guys crushed taking the engine out. Cool to finally see Ben in the Zone.

I was at RS motors talking to Ron about this car and he is so awesome

i love mark, he has been such a great addition to the crew :)

So nice to see the Evo working again, and Ben seems happy too. Also dig the drum and bass background music

OMG, after all that work, I am shocked!! Silver lining, it is RU-vid so more issues more content, more views (definetely I will continue to view). Good luck Bens, Mark keep it up!! Never surrender!

16:04 definitely 70's fusion tryna be herbie hancock slaps tho

Just want to say that watching your videos on a Saturday morning has been my routine for some years now. I love the quality on the editing and filming in every video, and how real it is. Hope I can continue this routine for the years to come! Love you guys!

Nothing beats the First car , and I'm extra crispy & pissed for BEN not "touching" the Escort

I honestly love this channel. I love the down to nature videos, showing everything good and bad that accompanies their builds and the experiences they have by just being car guys. Personally love these style of videos to where they're just building or more often then not, disassembling. Mark is a huge asset to this channel in my opinion. It's like were there with them, just goofing around and hanging out.

So happy to see Lana back out on track, still one of my fav cars of all the cars you guys have owned!

1:07 that's dnb, and it's an amazing genre

Hey Ben! Just a tip, next time don't flood your car and the expensive clutch won't rust and die prematurely 😊

Wow Mark with the "i'm in me mum's car--brum brum" reference. Daaaaaaaaaaaamn. That's an ancient meme by now.

Finally Evo content. I been waiting for this.

11:50 "Mak did most of the work" Mak mak :D

i like this. it’s the closest we have to mechas irl, and lana the mitsubishi evo is ben lin’s fastest gundam

The fact it got up and running for 2 full track days after all that time is amazing.

Love your Aussie accent! Lana wil return faster and better

I really enjoy these videos…. they are perfectly timed for a fresh Saturday morning bowl of cereal. Nice job boys.

@21:03 man I was waiting for it, I clapped when I heard it.... the "Austrialian Accent" LOL. When I didn't hear it the first time with the unopened boxes I was Shook 🤣😱😂 @22:47 man I've missed the Evo so much I had a sigh of relief and bliss all at once seeing it driving on track again.... honestly, thought the Talon was going to be your new track car be it "cheaper" lol. but I'm super happy to see the Evo back. The talon is also a good idea for track as its not only Cheaper but also has the same power plant. I'm looking forward to seeing both these vehicles doing some magic. Gosh I've missed the Evo. I think its time to Bless the Evo man no seriously make a skit or something blessing it or banishing bad juju lol lol. but On a real, I'm happy to see it back, it's sad for the turbo, and definitely good that you caught it before it went into the intake.. good to clean it out indeed and let's see her back on tack most definitely. PS. Highly recommend you put that larger Oil cooler. also a Nice custom shroud to ram air into it will actually do wonders. I have a 19 Row Mishimoto (12 row form factor so fins very dense) on my JZA80 and the shroud helped but ideally I need a larger or a Dual pass cooler. I currently added an electric fan to the back of it for aggressive driving and that also helped a great deal. Just dont block off the back as the passive cooling will take a hit, so if you ever run a fan on an oil cooler, an open fan design would be better to aid in cooling rather than a shrouded version that will restrict passive airflow. Ultimately, I'll go bigger with a dual pass cooler and put it up in front rather than by my signal duct...

Great to see that the EVO is back. As far as the loose nut in the turbo intake hey man I get it we all get it “LMR” last minute racing never enough time to wrench. Hope the damage is minimal and you’ll be back asap.

Kudos to Ben for smiling thru all the Evo curveballs. It’s heartbreaking when your baby is laid up, especially under these circumstances. Major props for bringing out the Aussie accent! Always a fan favorite!

Me and my friends saw it at Gridlife and he got his hardtop signed by you guys. Totally made the trip seeing it and meeting you guys

21:07 Ben turns Australian AGAIN 😂 25:02 here too 😂

I’ve been working on my b5s4 for 2 years. After another weekend of time wasted I’m left with two options. Admit defeat or keep trying. I keep asking myself if it’s worth my time and frustration but something in me won’t quit. Thanks for videos like this that couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been watching “cars won’t make you happy” daily for about 3 weeks now and I must say, although getting in an rs3 every day brings a smile to my face you’re 100% right. Then I think about giving it up.

I was stoked to see the Evo running and I thought "the car will finally have a problem free life" As Ben leaves a nut in the turbo... LOL live and learn just double check next time Ben pls for the Evo's sake

It was so nice to see Lana,getting some love! Truth be told iam a honda/acura guy but I have been absolutely enjoying all the dsm content! G&G always come through with epic content,thank you guys for the diligence. I can't wait to see some Gridlife videos!

Holy f@&k dude... that's a bit sad. Bust your ass to meet the track time, and then she's down again due to an unfortunate oversight. We all make mistakes, hope to see a lot more soon. Love your content.

It absolutely gutted me when the cleaned engine was being put back together with the rust on the outside :( I know you were in a rush but its such an expensive and clean build I wanted to see the outside of the engine cleaned and painted. Love the build series and racing videos!

My mom liked the video

I live like ten miles down the road from RS motors, and i never knew. Small world!

My god I have never seen somebody go thru soo much with his Evo. Damn man respect

that was impressive as hell for what was goin on in the turbo, can't wait to see it rebuilt again, TAKE YOUR TIME

Love for Marks spirit regardless of the job. Pleasure to warch you guys progressing on the rebuild.

My favourite part of the is the doggo getting a name tag @11:51 . Thank you editor | MAK | RS MOTORS

Ben loves this car even thought it's cursed and I'm here for it.

Awesome video as always Ben and Mark.

Love the Aussie accent!!! G’day, mate!

It's Saturday and GG uploads a "Lana the lancer goes on track" vid. can't anything better! ❤👌🙏🥇🏆🏁

Can't believe it's been 2 years already ! Missed the evo ! Super stoked to see her back and running ! Keep at it fellas 🤘🏼

Nothing butters my biscuit like a G&G video and a candle lit dinner with ramen noodles

I like how Mark used a little reverse psychology on Ben like when you tell a child "bet you cant pick up more of these toys you left laying around faster than i can" lmao big brain move 😂😂 love the content guys! glad to see the Evo back on the channel getting some love

My favorite car is back! Thank you guys!!! We love you Ron!!!

Waking up every Saturday as a kid to watch cartoons. Now as a adult I wake up every Saturday to watch new gears and gasoline vids 🥰

Sorry to see. Had this same issue recently, mine was a piece of rubber. Not a nice feeling to go through, especially on track

I remember meeting the RS Motors guy at a go kart track in the Minneapolis area a bunch of years ago. He complemented my times as I was the quickest of our group by a lot, and was shocked I had never been to the track before and that we don't have karting up here lol. Really nice guy.

It was great to see the Evo at CMP a few weeks ago. The legend returns 🤙

Good to see the Evo getting love again love the channel lads from Scotland .

Dang I’m getting old..2 years! And this is the sweetest Saturday morning surprise

Whoever picked the dnb for the montage, A+.

About time we got more exciting cars back.

Good Morning Everyone. Some evo content to start the weekend? Yes please

Tall Ben, the real OG... also Mark, and Kenny. Living the dream 🤘🏻

You drive me absolutely crazy worried about mud and “disinfecting” the interior. Even mark was like I wasn’t worried about it anyway! Holy shit.

Stunning in every way possible.

So stoked to see the evo back!

Such a peaceful video of the stuff I love

Awesome video, keep it up guys 🔥🔥

By far one of the best videos in a very looong time. That Salsa Red Tundra looks Amazing ! ! Don't ever get sick of the cameo shots of it. :-)

Who edited this, specifically the audio, I really appreciate the bits!)

It's good to see the Evo back, best of luck.

Had a 84 Silverado where the crank cracked at an angle. Sounded just like it threw a rod when idling, but cleared up when put under load. My father said he never seen it before, but probably similar to what happened to your crank.

I'm running ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus on my daily G37 - HUGE upgrade over my prior General G-MAX AS-05. Excellent wet weather performance here.

My man, this music is bangin'!

Ouch. Feel for you. Drops bolt that ends up in turbo, forgets and then remembers. Knowing is half the battle.

You know I heard the acronym for Mitsubishi a long time ago and it seems Ben has made it his life goal to prove it right. M- mainly I- in T- the S- shop U- undergoing B- big I- investments S- sometimes H- halfway I- incomplete

Hell yeah evo and eclipse content in the same season let’s go

I was in such a bad mood from dog pee on the floor. Then I started watching you guys tear into an Evo and ribbing each other, and now I'm smiling and more motivated to do alignment on my BRZ so I can hit the track.

Damn dude......good luck going forward.

FINALLY ive been waiting for lana for ages

Love seeing Lana back up and running!

Wow, amazing work. That nut in the turbo seems intentionally placed. You guys always do a great job. I wouldn't believe you guys accidentally dropping a nut in there.

For a second I thought that shop music playing in the background. I enjoyed that.
