Thanks for this vid fam I'm waiting patiently for the evo 5 to be ready for import in 2023 been my dream car since the first gran turismo days so this definitely solidify my purchase to get one in the future. Can't wait!!!
Really good video, I love my Evo 6 GSR for many of the points you raised. I too bought mine because it was a case now or never due to their value rising. I don't know if its the same for you but I find just even cruising around its such an experience to just be sat in, from seeing the bonnet vents, the way the Recaros grip you to seeing the spoiler in the mirrors, it's great! Then you put your foot down and wow.
I have a evo 6 gsr and a supra. It sounds odd to hear but I like the evo more. It's so connected to the road, the recaros are comfortable, brembos stop perfectly, full time awd, and 2.0T. I couldn't ask for a better setup. I just wish Mitsubishi undercoated the damn cars.
@@SupramanTRD Totally agree on the undersides, mine is quite decent for a 21 year old car but I will be having a full restoration carried out this year to preserve the car for many more years to come. I've never driven a Supra, but going by magazines like Evo magazine I'm not surprised to hear you prefer the Evo for the reasons you've described, it's akin to what the road testers have said.
Always great to see another TME! Great video man. My TME has to be my favourite car I've owned of all my JDM cars over the years. I can't see myself ever letting go of it :)
I've not yet owned an EVO, I've owned 3 generations of base model lancers, i agree 100 percent every thing you talked about, lately I 've had the urge to make sure that every one is up to date and the legend title is the EVO 6 that's the nature of reality... If you one day part with your s you will endure deep regret.. Regard less of the sale price, you must never sell it, it's your mission to keep what makes life great and do your best in up keep 😉 long live the mighty king 👑 🙏
Gtr-registry actually has a complete database of which number your TME is out of 3020 gsr's according to its chassis number to which color it was from factory , factory fitted options and even the exact month of its manufacture date. They are going bonkers in prices with averaging of 2 - 5 million Yen and it is not even US legal yet in the auctions, I can only imagine if it is. One of the best choice for a practical performance oriented rally proven reliable machine.
Personally I prefer the White, hence why I bought one. Cost me $25,000 10 years ago. Last time I looked at how much these cost to buy now my jaw dropped to the floor.
I plan on getting one soon imported into the U.S. im just wondering how reliable it is, mainly because since we didn’t get any Evos of that generation here in the US I would have to import parts for when I need them. Not only that but the Evo’s that were sold in the states do not have a big reputation for reliability 😂 they need too many things replaced so they can become somewhat reliable. I know its something that you don’t really look at when buying these cars, I expect to be stranded maybe once or twice but when it happens often thats when I start to get irritated
Awesome Video! Beautiful spec as well. I've been looking at Evo's in Australia for almost 6 months now, and seriously considered getting one, but the car had no history over here and I couldn't find any auction sheets or history in Japan. Do you find this is the case for almost all of them, and you should just buy on condition? Personally, I find it pretty incredible that the guy who imported the car had it for 10 years and didn't keep a single receipt to pass onto the new owner!
Robin Holt absolutely mate! I went through twelve different cars before I found this and bought it. They all have dodgy history or bad auction grades etc. You’ll find one, just be patient and keep your head up!
Ahh. Loving your evos man! Im on the hunt for evo 5 or 6 at the moment. Gonna collect some jdm legends. Seriously it is hard to find “pure” evo in my country. There is, but the wannabes i called it, the converted ones. Sad. Gotta dig deeper then.
nice video but no evo 6 tme came with any type of antilag. that's an aftermarket mod. either by an ecutek remap or a proper add on ecu like autronic or vipec (I owned one for 7 years)
I swear all evo vi videos here on youtube are the TME, Who the Fuck cares?! I just want a few videos of the "Normal" edition, showroom stock damn it. lolz, but yeah NICE CAR.
Good vid, but you don't mention the biggest cons... 1. Rust 2. TINY fuel tank for its consumption 3. Terrible turning circle Other than that, they're perfect. :D
I noticed the small fuel tank, and most certainly noticed the rediculous amount of rust these things have. I'm taking mine apart for sandblasting to remove all that corrosion.
