Thanks to Helix for sponsoring! Go to helixsleep.com/evanshanks to get up to $200 off and 2 free pillows!

Hey all! I announced a little over a week ago that I will be taking a break from RU-vid. This is my last video you'll see from me for a little while. I need to focus on a lot of personal things amongst just getting projects finished up to get motivated again. I will come back with some of the best content I've had in a long time. I love you all and will continue making videos as long as you let me. :)

gon miss you Evan! hope the civics r both ready to boogie when you’re back. enjoy your very needed vacation.

Hey brother, as someone who started watching you back in 2017- then stopped because I had mental health issues and my life changed. I recently ran into your videos. I was sooo happy to see how far youve gone from the Subaru and tiny garage. I’ve been slowly catching up to see how youve gotten to where you are now and i fills my heart with joy. Recently reconnecting with your channel has revived aspects of my life that I didn’t think were still around. Much love Evan! Thank you for everything! You videos are life changing and enjoy the break brother. Blessing man!

It’s okay to take a break Evan! Take all the time you need. Recharge and refresh yourself. We will still be here when you come back. #shanksquadforever 💯

Proud of you!!❤️❤️❤️

Looking great Evan!! Head up and forward man and take the time you need! Support from another Evan 👊🏻😎

Thank you for everything Evan. I love you man. I hope to see back soon. Your advise and videos have helped me through some stuff times already.

used to watch u a year or 2 ago and loved watching u grow, found u again recently and i love the inspirational messages u leave on these videos now. enjoy ur break Evan

Take your time evan! You give me so much inspiration and you deserve a break.. peace✌️

Enjoy the vacation, will always be here love your videos bro

Everybody needs to take that step at one point in their life. You do you bro and get your mental straight. You worked so hard over the years and you 100% deserve to take some time to better yourself. Much love, see you on the return 👌🏻

love you man hope you feel better thanks for all you do

That’s good you are being open about it , mental health always comes first, just know your not alone. Take care of your health always first. Take rest don’t take tension. Love your videos.

3 weeks later coming back to watch this for the third time... no other channel has me doing that, you the goat Evan🙏

Just stumbled across your channel from a video in fitment industries. I have to say man this is a great channel. I love to see your backstory from the interview to where you are now. It's impressive. As a fellow gearhead I can also relate to what you mean about pouring yourself out and not emptying yourself. I think we can all reach that point some time. I can't wait to see more video down the road but your and what you care about most come first.

I have been struggling through stress issues as well and this video just helped more than you know! Going to miss you brother but we will be here when you get back!

Enjoy the vacation! Gonna miss the content but take the time you need. Much love and respect, bless up!

Happy birthday bro. You and your family are always in our prayers! Keep up the good content!

God bless you and your fam, evan. Great advice. Lets all chill out and recharge!

Enjoy your vacation Evan! You need it brother!

Your amazing man, love the content, you deserve to take a break, i hope you come back stronger 💪🏼

I'm glad you're taking your own advice.. we'll be here when you get back!!

Good on you for taking a break. Gonna miss your videos homie been here for like 8 years now but it's all good. Don't know how long you'll be gone but take your time and help yourself out buddy. I'd rather get an upload in a month or two from ya and you're feeling better and giving the content you want to provide rather than you just draining yourself and making yourself miserable. Keep up the great work buddy and is true fans will be here no matter what!! Stay blessed big guy and thank you for always reminding me to step back and check on myself too 🤙❤️

Well needed vacation. Hopefully youll be back by the time im out of school at least, at least. I will always be here to watch your videos.

Evan I love you and I'm gonna miss you but I'm glad you're taking the time to do what you need to do for yourself

Awesome awd kswap!! Going be a monster

I said in the 1st awd ek video that you would need the eg suffrage and a manual rack amongst other parts . But I do want to say now that awd civics use a viscous coupler and utilize a 2 piece drive shaft . Besides that enjoy your vacation brother and we will see you when you come back .

Gonna miss the videos while your gone but take your much needed vacation Evan!! We will all be here when you get back. It’s been probably about 5 years since me and my wife have been on vacation as well. So I understand the need to get away for a while.

i liked for the "we win" when i was doing body work it was such a great feeling once you finally got something to work, keep it up

Im glad your going to take a break! I been watching your channel for along time and you seriously should take sometime. That means taking actual vacation while your at it."If feasible"

Good luck get your self right we will be here when you come back. Looking forward to it

man, im so proud of this guy. he was my idle growing up, back when it was just the sti/miata/sc. it puts such a huge smile on my face everytime seeing just how far he’s made it

Can’t wait to see you back brotha, great content always !

have a good vacay brotha!

I will always rock with you Victoria & Gabriella Love the channel not many channels that can relate to others who actually share their life's daily grinds Makes me get into my feels knowing somebody has made life hard to share your awesome car vids

I've been watching your content since your evo was grey (the vid where you diagnosed a boost leak with a vape pen was my first video of yours), and I have to say for what it's worth you are one of my favorite automotive youtubers out there. Your cars are sick, and God has really used your advice to impact my life in significant ways. You definitely deserve a break, I'll be praying for you to come back refreshed and stronger than ever!

Love ya Evan stay strong brother your videos make my day and thank you for your advice at the end of your videos it truly helps I've been struggling with self happiness and your word truly help 😊 love ya brother see ya when you get back

Have a very good break & relax Evan. 👌🏻

Have a good one bro. In the mean time I’ll be watching old videos I never got to see💯😎

Take you’re time and come back better brotha! I’m building my own civic at the same time and seeing your posts keep me going.

Man I love your civic. Struggling where I live to find a B16 or B18C1 for mine.

@evanshanks you will be missed but definitely a well earned vacation. As a loyal follower I will be here whenever you are ready to get back. Go enjoy the family, having two little girls my self it’s a great feeling to watch them and enjoy them as they grow. Remember it’s only basically 18 summers that we have with our kids and those won’t last long. Stay safe, enjoy the vacation, and we shall see you here when you get back.

Miss you man! I hope you come back to making content soon. Sometimes i feel like i need a break from the every day stresses. I haven’t taken a vacation from work in 2 years and im feeling your pain. Hope things get better❤️ stay safe

I’ll be honest. Hopped back on your channel after a while, and it’s refreshing to see you flesh out the nitty gritty of modifying and being real. (I just came from the stradman’s latest vid 😂). Glad you’re focusing on yourself and your family. I’ve got plenty to watch and catch up on while you’re recharging 🤙🏻

We are going to be here for you whenever you return broski. Godbless

Love you dude 🖤🤟 we’ll be here when you get back

Much love man ❤❤

Enjoy ur bake Evan you’ll get through whatever is going on ✌🏻

I loved the vid I’m gonna miss seeing your vids but know I’ll be back when you start posting again! Been watching you since I was a kid and I’m 19 now and I’ve loved watching you and Victoria grow as people and as parents keep up the work love ya bro!

We will be here waiting. Keep it up we are not leaving 🤙🏼

Be strong Evan. I hope you feel better. Enjoy the time with your family.

You’ve done a lot for all of us, all 950k of us, and those who haven’t subscribed. We’re happy for you in the end for taking this Break/hiatus/vacation… whatever you wanna call it, you deserve it. Take your own advice, take your time brotha, we’ll be here whenever you’re ready, no rush. We love you, I love you man, my notifications are on when you come back. From Nebraska, -Rafael

You will also need eg/dc front strut forks with the a-arms. And since you're using a manual rack, you will need the manual rack u-joint to the steering column

Take all the time you need mate

Finally someone who’s super real and awesome and doesn’t do stuff for views. You do you man love you man

Evan. No matter what, we will be with you. What you give us is inspiring, wholesome, and invigorating. You do what we wish we could. Everyone needs a break. I switched jobs. Going from high man on the totem pole to the lowest. Went a year without a break in a physically and mentally challenging job. Today I just started my 1 week vacation. You need those too. Especially with your daughter. Make those memories. We love you man.

There is actually a factory AWD Civic so yes they was made for a rear differential. Called the Civic RTSI and it's EK too

going to miss you on here much love man ya'll stay blessed and safe

Peeped the gc8 wagon w the hood up in the back. BRING IT BACK EVAN!

Dang man, well imma miss your motivation, be safe..all love🤙🏾

Your the man who saved my life. IRL. Enjoy your break. Much love. UK.

I miss you already Evan, you need this and we all have your back!

Please tell me you are using a viscous coupler in the drive shaft If not the clutches in the diff are going to cook and not work or your going to keep breaking diffs and or transfer cases

Evan te amamos!

Enjoy your "vacation" buddy. We'll be here awaiting your return. You earned this break.

You getting that light fixed bruh? 🤙🤙 disco timeeeeeeee

Have a great vacation Man, U deserve it! :)))

ENJOY THE BREAK BRUH! And please do track day on the EVO 3 💯

Thanks for your video’s 👍 Take your time and hope to see you soon

Take as long as a break as you need and enjoy it man. We're always gonna be here and you need to make sure you and your little family is all good. I'm so glad you realize that and you are taking control, not letting us viewers control your decisions. Respect! This is extremely eye opening to me personally. I think this is a good time for us viewers to realize that wealth status, etc. does not define happiness. Look, Evan has all these insanely cool cars, a huge shop, a really nice house, 2 businesses, a wife and kid.. yet he still battles depression and hard times behind the scenes like we all do. I guarantee you so many people are saying "Oh, I wish I could live Evan's life, oh I wish I could have all the cars he does, but in reality, it's not going to make you truly happy. This is great time for all of us to take a step back and reflect that life has so many hardships and that just because it might seem like someone is doing so well, they probably aren't doing as well as you think. The grass is always greener. Stay humble everyone and love deep!

The shoe cleaning part had me dying 😆🤣 Alsoo August B-day ganggg

Fair play Evan!!!! you and your mind and family first ...take how ever long it takes...don't worry about us viewers we'll be good 👌👌

Take time you need. I hope when you are back we see awd civic in dragstrip.

We love you Evan

Itching for a video my guy. So, I had to come back by and re watch this one lol😊

Take your time ma man Self care is necessary for everyone

Notch the tank for the right clearance... if you cut the brace it won't help with reinforcing the back structure

Keep making great video bro

Do you think you would ever build a gt turbo toyota starlet? And enjoy your vacation.

evan where do u find all the car parts? i am trying to find an exhuast for my moms vw passat

Take care of yourself bro. Your health is more important to us than your videos. We appreciate and love you brotha for everything you do and are! When your feeling better, well all be here 😀

You need to take time for you and your family life is to short enjoy life we will all be here waiting for the new content thankyou for always giving the best advice at the end of great video's
