For those of your SCREAMING why did you replace the Ohlins or not rebuild them, these are the reasons.
1. Rebuilding them would take weeks if not months these days, something we don't have time for.
2. Having ridden on Ohlins in the past, they are an amazing coilover for smooth roads like California but are pretty stiff and unforgiving on beat up roads (Robert lives in Ohio). They are also more track focused than street oriented.
3. The Fortune 500s are a much softer and composed coilover for the street, which this car will see most of its time on. We had the same suspension on our old Evo 8 and found them to be a great option for street use.
Hope that helps most of you understand the choice made here.
Still definitely a bit disappointed, but having looked into how long it takes to get coilovers rebuilt before from most of the big names (ohlins, bilstien, etc) I definitely get the choice for a situation like this.
Whatever. Get back to work on the JDM legends.
The wheel choice is more egregious than the dampers. Black is terrible to begin with and replacing the quality BBS with cheap Enkeis makes zero sense to me.
@@TML34 To be fair, the BBS's they had on it were EVO X takeoffs. Not to say they aren't "real" BBS's, but they're not exactly LM's or RG's either. Regarding black wheels, I'd generally agree; but you have to remember this is a series being done for some elses car who won the contest. I'm sure he was heavily consulted on what he wanted looks wise to the car.
Still hope the owner can get the ohlins rebuilt. They can be custom valved and custom spring rates to be good for tougher roads.
I feel personally attacked.

HEYYYYY! your Alaska video pushed me over the edge on buying another one after regretting selling my first!
Imagine if speed academy built an Evo to go up against and beat you at your own track 😭
These youtube crossovers from my favorite auto enthusiast channels gives me life. 👏🏻
Good. That's what's happening
As you should....as you should. I don't think Lana has Anything to worry about though. 😂
Hey my car! I've also been in the EVO game for a long time. The guys have consulted me the whole way. I'm really excited about the build. All the take off stuff is coming home with me and I'll obviously continue to Evolve the car over time. I'm a huge EVO nerd and have a really solid understanding of the platform and what I'm after.
Glad to hear your kept in the loop!
Judging by some of these comments they must think they're just tossing the old parts in a dumpster behind the shop 🤣
@@iVolkswagen the owner literally just said he's taking them home 🤦♂️
So I assume this means you'll run the entry level coilovers that Speed Academy was paid to put on your car, until the Ohlins are rebuilt, right? I get not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but how excited could you really be for a one way adjustable coilover and Enkei wheels?
Nice car you have their mate keep looking after it
I would certainly go for the VII all-red lights, they look so clean
Evo 7 Taillights hands down. I may be biased though since I have Evo 7 tails on mine 😁.
Nice. Miss my old evo 8. Probably would have just got the ohlins rebuilt. They are phenomenal coilovers. I had a couple different coilovers on my car, and the ohlins were far and away the best. The tide was better than stock on the street...add a couple clicks for the track and they were amazing.
Replacing the Ohlins with fortune auto's is a real bummer. Though I understand its necessity to some end with the timeline to get the Ohlins rebuilt.
Agreed 💯 percent
I’m sure they’ll return a lot of the parts they removed to him so that way he could always send the Ohlins out for a rebuild if he chooses to. The track pads up front for a street car seem like not the best idea especially in a cold environment like Canada where it could take a few minutes on the street just to properly warm them up. Not to mention the noise and likely higher amount brake dust.
Agreed! That hurt to see straight downgraded that man's coilovers
Totally. What a huge downgrade
I would send the dampers back to Ohlins for a rebuild. They are some of the highest quality suspension parts on the market.
The headlight polishing was such a dramatic change. Thanks to you guys I find myself looking at headlights to see which ones are yellowed and need some TLC.
I would’ve kept the silver BBSs
Such a nice car. I would go with the red taillights, they pop really nice with the white color, but I like the blacked out ones, too. :)
I fully agree but to me both look like they have gathered some of the coolest cars in that little shop..
Every choice they made was the wrong one.
The black tails look best!
You guys did an incredible job and giving me motivation to finish mine. This build was worth the wait so far! Love it
Red tails look so good 🔥
Öhlins is the best damper in the world, but I understand why you guys did this ;)
The suspension, wheel and tire combo are so sweet.
Put a gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof to hide the paint fade 😎👍
Please guys, keep the black taillights!!
And after you told that came from Ben Lin’s EVO, it’s another big reason to do this!
You and Gears and Gasoline are my favourite channels on YT 🤩
Always good content with terrific video shots!
Keep this good content always running here 🔥
I Always love the improvisation in your videos.. Keep up the good work SA, Love from Dubai...❤
Great clip! Can’t wait to see part 2,3,4 etc. This clip came in handy as far as coil over talk/install. I own a 06 EVO IX, on tein s tech springs, I feel so “old school “ can’t wait to upgrade though! Lol
Yes old outro back I LOVE IT. great episode guys keep killing it
This looks so good with just the right wheels and lip
This evo build is going to be so cool!
The front splitter is an absolute must on the 8. It’s way too soft looking upfront. Splitter just adds enough aggression. Glad it was the first thing you guys put on!
I like this idea of giving back to your supporters.
What a brilliant episode! I do like an Evo too, some great quick mods👌🏼
Love the build! No issues here with coilover swap as long as you keep the cores to rebuild for someone else! I would have had a hard time swapping in new bumpy bits but not addressing control arm, sway bar bushings, etc. Maybe a low mileage car? At any rate, a fun series to do with your supporters!
What are you talking about I love the slow-mo of you guys washing the cars!
Love the vid. Another great series to look forward to!
You may be the only people in history to remove Ohlins and install Fortune Autos. You guys are crazy, and I love it.
This looks like one of Perfect Performances evos 👌🏽 that man has a jdm gold mind at his shop 🙌🏼
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!! One of the best car channels on youtube
Guys i like the channel and I also enjoy car wash video. maybe a separate video for wash in the future I think that was a missed chance to see evo being washed. i dont know what it is but it is very satisfying to watch car wash videos.
love those tail lights, makes me want an Evo again
Get one love mine !
Definitely the 7 all red lights are so clean.
I like the dark tail light housing.
Thissss Evo is so damn beautiful, my favorite Evo! I hope you guys still do the car wash edits I love them😭
So we sent the Ohlins away to get rebuilt 😂
They did him dirty if he doesn’t get those ohlins back. Lol
@@Outlier117 they are giving me all the stuff back.
@@WTFNoNamesLeft2 good send them out to be rebuilt!
@@Outlier117 ya obviously :)
Yesssss we need more Evo content again
Can never go bad with more Evos
Simple but looks beautiful so far
I like this series keep it going!
Beautiful modern classic!
that car just looks aggressive already, that lip made it pop more, i like it
Another banger build!🔥👌
This wheels is so beautiful! Is the perfect set up6
I love quick builds!
Love this builds, the best team
Hats off to PT , unbelievable how those headlights ended up looking....better than new!
So finally I know what the Evo was about, I thought it was going to be a donor car for the EvoWagon LOL
I saw shocked at how much easier it is to install wheel studs with that tool!! I used to think it was a waste of money until I tried it, and it's worth every penny.
Wow seeing those ohlins next to those FA’s it makes the FA’s look like racelands in terms of build quality. Lol You guys better not do him dirty and give them back so they can be rebuilt.
Was screaming rebuild the online as well
good god. $1000 a corner 🥶☠🥶☠
100%. What a massive downgrade. Hopefully he can get those ohlins rebuilt and use those. Much much better coilover than fortunes.
Ohlins aren't for everyone. I bought some JIC magic for $20 that are trash because they were street driven. Who knows, maybe these Ohlins are trashed too.
@@bgee461 hence why everyone is saying get them rebuilt. They can be custom valved and you can get different springs. I doubt they are so far gone they couldn’t be rebuilt and be better than the fortunes.
Good stuff! Only thing Imd also change asap is J-hook or slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines. Great work as always!
Ben's Sti starting the same day as SA's Evo is pretty cool
Definitely some sick mods here🔥🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SA Brothers... Get yourself some SEM panel bond to fill in those bumper holes. Black tail lights FTW! 💪 Maybe some black head light housings to match? The Storm Trooper Evo is looking good guys💪
I've waiting to this video... I really love evo❤️
I agree with the choice of rare tail lights
Great build so far. Couldn’t tell if it was the lightning or not but the tint on the rear window looked like a hack job.
Dope Project. Tastefully modified
I like the red tail lights!!!
Evo VII taillights all day long 🤩👌🏽
Nice ride...especially the Evo 9 taillights. 😌
Yes love evo’s and love this series
And my Saturday is complete.
One of my dream car to get.
White evo for the win! I have a white evo also! 4g63 is life!
Absolutely love the all red tail lights better. Clean and tasty.
i just used ET nuts on my subaru forester sti, works great
OMG I have been waiting for that :D
All red 7 lights for sure
Evo 7 tail lights for sure
VII lights for sure.
Evo 7 tail lights for sure. I think it looks cleaner overall
Red taillights ftw!
Nice evo 👍🤙
Speed Academy = Class Act. Love your builds.
7 Taillights for the win!
Let’s goooo!!! My dream car 😍😍😍
Faded bonnet vent PT. OCD engaged!
Evo 9 tailights for sure
My dream car ❤️
Definitely go with the Evo 9 mr taillights because they give an OEM plus vibe and looks amazing it's a no brainer because i would definitely go with those.
Are you really competing in Gridlife Street class time attack like Ben Lin for real? Apparatus is very similar to Ben Lin from Gears and gasoline.
I need to know how to detail the head lights like that, unbelievable!!!!😳
some caliper paint and a brake fluid change would be nice to see as well. New wheels fit perfect imo
Quick and easy. Famous last words 😂🤣
Shots fired Ben 🤣 I love it
It’d be really cool to see y’all switch it up and do a rally cross build.
Nice fun video and build ad always. I’m going to have to sign up for the Patreon so I can win the next mod my ride. My Ecoboost F150 needs some Cobb tuning and coil overs!!
Great content guys! What products and pad did you guys use to clean the headlights? They turned out terrific.
You guys should take a road trip and visit Icar in Mirabel for their Hondafest or something!
The red tails make the car look like a Mirage
Best car in Most Wanted
i like the IX tails better for sure 🔥
Surely rebuilding the top suspension manufacturers shocks would have been cheaper and a better out? Ohlins are top tier. 🤷
That’s such a tough choice on the taillights. Both are clean but I think the smoked evo 9 ties together the carbon fiber bits
FMIC from factory for the win !!!
That e34 m5 in the background tho😥❤️
Love the wheels, but I have to say the full on red taillights worked the best on this white car.
Please do the red ones… looks very cleaaan.
Awesome job guys!! What lug nuts did you end up going with ?
gotta use Ben's taillight! more power!
