This guy has to be one of the best co-pilot owners, perfect combination between talking and knowing about his car, yet remaining silent and not being annoying during the ride. Master class, top guy!
Misha "this is 1 of the best cars ive driven" is probably the highest praise you can get for a build. It looked amazing on the Vid. Great build , absolutely love it.
This new 4 camera layout seems to be ideal and the easiest on the eyes. Big wide view of track (with a nice rear cam for passing) and still able to see driver/passenger and gauge cluster evenly.
A racing engineer once said: Horsepower accounts for 25% and chassis tuning accounts for 75%. The EVO chassis is really stable and has strong road grip! The car is tuned perfectly! , for me this is my ideal setting!
We have a wee racetrack in Scotland here. It's called Knockhill. It's a small, fast, intimate circuit about 1.3 miles or so in length, with big changes changes in elevation and camber. Very exciting wee track. Evos get round it faster than most GT cars.
Funny, had this exact thought yesterday, weird world, but I guess its pretty glarring when ya watch too many of these 🤔 & maybe the occasional spirited driving 😁
Oh god who you tellin man these are sweet I didn't know it even existed I swear Europe gets the coolest cars I wish we got cool wins like this and the M3 wagon man I'd sell both my balls for one of those
I’m EvoWagonGT owner from Japan. I could say Miquel’s Wagon is really impressive me at this video. Because the wheels he uses on the car is too heavy and only 8.5J, but very rare size of Enkei Tarmac EVO. If the Wheels change to lighter one and size up to 9.5J with 265 35 R18 A052 Tire. It will be quicker in the corners. Thank you Misha. You looks very enjoyed the car and the video is amazing.
Absolutely love the owner. Wonderful to see somebody who is actually emotionally invested in their car and knows everything about it and you can see he has slowly build the car up over time.
@@tigerhawk84 well let me remind you all the STI’s Misha driven were on much hotter days. He drove my Forester STi on a 30 degree day and it was only overheating on the long uphill section at the very end. Could have pushed more but 120 degrees oil temp was for me good enough.
Misha drove the "Kombi" around the track like his N24 BMW. Fast, confident, precise. Car did not move, skid, anything - a True Go-Cart! (except the wheels off the curb moment) And the owner even smiled for a moment in the middle of the run, he stopped his mind and opened up his heart 😀
Love these builds, no chasing BHP before brakes, no bolt on diffuser before bushes, just set the thing up to make the most of what power it has and pedal the thing and let it perform well reliably 👏
I really liked how this dude geeked out and built an absolute weapon! but he's like yea, i take it to the grocery store. The fact Misha was quiet and concentrating and having moments when he smiled showed you how good this car was.
Tips from another evo owner: -Oil starvation occurs when cornering hard and long to one side, that could cause the engine problem, and baffled oil pan can solve it. Good job installing one. - With 1.7 bar you should be around 400hp, depending on the other mods you have , like downpipe, full 3 inch exhaust and cams. - With that power level and specially torque level, the 6 speed is prone to fail. Most convert to 5 speed which is stronger. But keep an eye on rear AYC differential and ACD, cause they could fail also. To lessen the problem, frequent oil changes for them with good quality oils (75W140 recommended for AYC) and dont forget the AYC fluid in the trunk! Love that 9 wagon, very special car!! If you can tell me any recomendation or tip I will be thankful. Mine is a 7 RS2 spec running 1.5 boost 350hp 421TQ Cheers!
I watch all of these uploads and I'm a BMW guy, I like Evos, my bro has a 600whp Evo 5 that's genuinely terrifying to ride in, but I've never really wanted to own one myself, until now. I'm currently on fb marketplace looking for one lmao The way this car so effortlessly and CONFIDENTLY bullied that poor M2, I mean all props to Misha as a top shelf driver, but the car was right there with him, it was very impressive. The big power cars could only run away on straights, any slight corner that they had to concentrate on not blowing the back end out on, this car was just gripped up and pulling away from them. I would want a little more power in mine, but that's the great thing about Evos, completely stock engine, a 4G63 will make 500whp all day everyday, from a little 4 banger.
The M2 driver was taking the corners too tight & car seemed to not have a track setup aswell. M4 could have gapped the EVO with ease, but engine needs some reliability upgrades. EVOs are built to last!
@@bunsofsteeeel My brothers Evo 9 was at 420hp with a similar remap and it looks like this one picks up speed in a somewhat similar manner to what my bro's did on low boost.
its basically impossible to overheat an evo. the cooling system is very generious dimensioned. since I drive an evo ix, I never heared or saw the cooling fan running. And its not broken ^^
@@commentmachine1 Everything works as it should. Maybe because we regularly Clean the cooling circuit and dont run the cooling Fluid for 10 years without a change
I've probably watched the video ten times, and I'm always fascinated by how quiet and stable this vehicle is. It hardly moves, it hardly moves, it doesn't jump. It's great.
Amazing! Ohlins on an Evo 9 with decent brake pads is unbelievable combination. The handling is sublime. You know it's good when Misha says it's one the best he has driven.
This is one of the few videos which warmed my heart. I really admire people like the owner who built such as car. I can feel from the video how well the car works. Daily built for track. Great! The owner is really knowledgeable. 👍🙂
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="720">12:00</a> The smile on Mishas face just after the car got a little bit twitchy is a mark of pure pleasure. Sometime being "Quick" can be hard work, but just sometimes it's simply elation !
The era of Evo’s and earlier Impreza were golden, we got good hydraulic steering, close ratio gearbox with no tall final drive, cable throttle, relatively low weight compared to modern cars and engines that were characterful. I miss those days! I have a mk7 Golf R that has had some very light tuning but has been tested as sub 4 second to 60mph, but the engine is soulless, the electric steering is terrible with no feel, the electric throttle feels dead at times and it’s pretty heavy at 1500kg as it’s a dsg, probably faster accelerating than an equivalent Evo but I’d rather have the Evo or Impreza (Evo 6 RS, or Impreza Sti VER3 Type RA)
So true. I’ve had my wrx wagon for 17 years and have been tempted by such as the golf r but you have reassured me that keeping the og is the right decision despite big bills it always makes me grin. A tunnel on the way to the FOS this weekend was memorable. Loved this Evo lap and the owner was great. Enjoy whatever you have.
This thing looked planted and fast. Also passionate owner which it is nice to see. Also evos are build with better parts and technology than imprezas and that is showing. Really enjoyed this video.
Oh man I used to have an 04 ralliart sportback and I loved that thing. Far cry from an Evo sportback, but brings back memories. Very fun to drive. I did t realize how rare of a gem I had until it was too late.😔
Judging by the "going" I'd say it has around 300 hp, but that's only secondary with this car because the handling is so good, Congrats to the owner, Nice diriving as always Misha 👍
Evos are just mega track cars. They are so precise and predictable with the right mods. Have ran my 7 in time attack before and do trackdays regularly in it and its been an awesome car
Mitshubishi at its peak dominated the rally scene with the EVO, I would say much credit goes to their incredibly well tuned and stiff chasis. Some reviewers said the evo sedans cornered like they were on rails. I feel so sad to see the state that Mitshubishi as an auto company is in today.
What a Machinee! 8/10 cars overheat when the Misha treatment happens. Mitsubishi is like hold my beer. Not once did that heat gauge move. The owner telling Misha. "Push it as hard as you want.." he knows he's built a beast of a car. Just goosebumps Just watched this 8 times and am just smiling here. I want a frickin Evo Wagon!!! Wowww
Exactly how car should be set up, it’s quick stable and nimble so driveable. An owner that realises it’s not all about BHP. Too often we see cars comprised by chasing big horse power for bragging rights.
Seen the Evos in action at autocross and they decimate their class. Car is a phenomenal machine, can’t imagine this built up for circuit and a wagon at that. So good, indeed!
You should seriously consider putting the stats of the car at the begining of the video for more direct info of the cars. Like it's done by most youtubers. Info should be accesible really fast on the stats. Thanks !!! oh btw that car does not have 300ish HP. More in the 500HP really for how it goes.
Vaya pedazo de "juguete", hilado hasta el milímetro con el último detalle. As Mischa said, it works. And that means everything for all of his followers who knows him. ¡Enhorabuena, y que lo disfrutes por muchos años!
An Evo that actually GOES fast instead of just looking fast. And a CT9W as well!!!! 😙👌 More owners like this man are needed to save Evos from 'stance' douches 🙏
