Step 1: Get a job that allows the time and money for this
True
CZcams channel ?

@@tamerjbareen2300 yooo, big brain :o
Step 2. Make a dozen friends that know different automotive specialties that like working for free lol.
My guess is 15-20k in labor was omitted.
Any car story that starts with a dad being involved can only be great 😁
The Evo 7 also
The humble beginning makes it seem much more relatable. Glad the failures have never stopped you from making progress
Seems like Evo 8 is way more reliable than even Evo X.😅
didnt even buy it himself bruh
@ppeez Dont be mad just because your dad never loved you
that ending was the best, it was like
"SURPRISE! I'M BACK BABYYYY!"
The ending is the main highlight for sure.😅
It's so strange how I watched the motor build episodes not knowing anything. but today, it all makes sense now as I am building a motor from scratch.
Learn from Ronnie and prime your oil pump and get oil pressure before starting the engine 😂
So confession time…I first saw this video come out this morning and immediately thought-“Not another filler video with material I’ve already seen…when are they going to put out new content like the highly anticipated road trip video with the RX8 and Eclipse.” A few hours later I decided to to give it a try. Glad I did. This is not your normal rehashed how to build a blank car video in 30 minutes that everyone puts out. The Ben’s kept my interest with the narration and the pricing recap. Well done lads!
I thought the exact same, assumed it was a "rebuild rehash filler" type video. I don't track my cars or even particularly like the Evos but still watched every minute. Very well executed build summary.
@@luffy858I agree 100%. I don’t track my car either, but I thoroughly enjoy watching the iterative process of the build and the passion Ben has for his Evo.
@CrescentKnife the Evo 8, much like Evo 4, is everyone's fan favourite car.
100% caught me by surprise on how the content just sucked me in
That Aussie accent mate just killin! Always fascinated with Lin's work!
I honestly thought it was an actual Australian speaking for a second
Mighty Car Mods - is that you?😂
That was a kiwi accent. Close, though just a few hundred km's off.
@@AerialEyesProduction I think an Aussie knows a fake Aussie accent when he hears one
@@WretchedPotato easy to mix up aussies and kiwis lol I’ve one parent from each.
Not complaining, but these recap vids make me really excited for progress that must be happening in the background!!
Not lying, it looked SOOO much better with white on white. The black/graphics hid all the super nice curves and angles the car has.
The black vinyl in the Evo 8?
Nice job Ben! Very informative for people looking into buying or modding their EVO. Glad a little sliver of my video made the cut. I've kept my evos in street form and learned from other evo friends on what not to do from when they pushed their evos too far. In short, for a street evo, i always recommend and OEM short block, e-85, exhaust, tune, clutch upgrade and minor upgrades to fueling to support running E-85. Lastly, speaking of fuel, I think your 255 pump in Lana is due for an upgrade with your current setup! Or at-least replaced it after years of use :)
Paul, apologies for not hitting you up before I used the clip. I put it in last night while editing and should have asked. Thanks for making such informative Evo content as always, man!
@@GearsandGasoline No worries, you don't need to ask. I'm all about sharing helpful information!
Black or silver? Timestamp?
@@WTFNoNamesLeft2 neither car. It was a clip from my evo turbo comparison video.
@@GearsandGasolinethe Modded Evo 8 is like it came straight out from NFS CARBON. Looked awesome!
Ben needs a sponsorship for front lips 😂
time for him to make his own mould and 3D print them or something in an easy to clip together way
@@BjornFSE that's a good idea!
I think we have plenty of proof as why he *isn't* lip sponsored :D No bottom line of any company could sustain this kind of sponsorship.
@@bhcamaro2002imagine if there is a FALKEN sponsorship in the Evo 8 though.
The swell of emotion in the final seconds of the video seeing you guys working on her and Mark saying "let's get her running..." I've been watching your journey since 2017 and love every minute of it.
First of all, that australian accent sounded alot like marty from MCM good job ben! :D
And second of all, you won't believe how stoked i am to see Lana back up and running stronger then ever before! Let's see if you can do it by march, crossing my fingers!
I thought his face was about to pop into frame 😅
@@simpsot_ haha me too!
Lmaoo that’s what I thought too!
gosh I'm in love with these recap videos, perfectly sums up the work you guys have been done.. can't wait for another video!!
Next video: Timelapse of Ben's face over the years while building Laanaa.
You can watch the accelerated aging process as this car sucks the life out of me
This is easily the best car channel, the production, audio and image quality, the humble beginning and the part "you don't need to this if you want a fast car and less headache"
I've been studying your Evo build for over a year because in the next couple years I want to build my own track Evo, this video makes it so much easier! keep up the work and I'm incredibly excited for the evo to come back this year!
What a great video, I really enjoyed this one. Awesome story telling, informative with a splash of humor. Well done sir.
Ben, I am so happy you are working on the evo again. Thanks for the great content as always!!!
I just got my 9 back from the shop. I bought it for 9.5k with a blown head. After getting the head fixed, a new exedy twin clutch, white line sway bars, and bump steer kit, and a few other replacement parts. I’m 22k in on the car. I love it!
I can’t wait for another year to start modifying like this for the track. Thanks for the video!
Not bad!
I bought my 2003 Evo with blown shortblock for $9500. 212K miles, too. Lol
I got an OK deal. I was planning to do a full restoration before I bought it. Surprisingly, it's in pretty good shape.
I would've loved to have gotten a 9 for that price though.
@@andydhillon1977 I still have about 2k worth of hail damage I need to get out. But it was definitely worth the risk of buying it
Absolutely love these series. Keep up the work guys!
I love the receipts in everything! Proof through it all.
I just finished fully restoring my evo. Now I have the perfect shopping list, thank you man!
Wow. Didn't realize I watched this build since the beginning. Awesome turn of events. Can't wait for the future build.
Great video!!! All the best to both Ben's. Waiting to see a lot of grid life builds and track days
This was an awesome story especially the build info as it went along.
you have my absolute dream car, glad you enjoy it and show this legend's full potential
So back in the summer of 2006, I was in need of transportation. I remember relentlessly searching all across the East Coast for a Wicked White MR. In September, I finally found one at the Malloy Mitsubishi dealership in Woodbridge, VA. It had sat in the showroom the entire time and had 7 miles on the odometer. $38k later, I had my dream car I've always wanted to own since I was a kid watching Tommi Makkinen racing in WRC. Then inevitably, 2 months later I was rear ended on the capital beltway. All the more reason to get a JDM Rear bumper and while I was at it, an SE lip :)
I never modded the car much other than an Amuse R1 Titan turbo back and an intake. And from 2012 till about 2020. It sat in the garage and was occasionally turned on every few months. Sold it in the summer of 2020 to some guy from South Carolina (I think). Mostly because my wife thought it was a waste of space.
Watching this video, yours looks (ed) exactly like mine and I miss it dearly. So much so, I think I'm going to track down the owner and try to buy it back. Thank you for reminding why I shouldn't have let it go in the first place.
PS: I think I might have a non se wicked white lip sitting in my folks' attic, you're welcome to it. Might be better juju then the SE ones.
My dream car ever since I was a kid! Awesome journey 🙏🏼
Gears and Gasoline takes a theme that so many others are doing and makes it so unique. Story telling masters.
Good to see Lana and some evo content from yall again. More power to the channel!
Great editing! And good looking Evo! 🤘😊💪
Love these styles of videos going over the whole build. It's like binge watching a tv show
What a journey. Props to your patience and willingness to succeed.
I haven't watched any of you guys vids in a while. not sure why they weren't coming up on my feed. this video is a keeper. nice work ben!
Your videos are always inspiring. Keep up the nice work ^^
this is one of the better "building X car in 10 min" videos out there, great job big Ben. Good luck getting the Evo back on the road
Great video, well thought out and put together...very informative..... 👍
As a fellow Evo owner (had mine since 09) this has given me so many plans that will probably never come true but i can dream lol. Thanks for putting in all this work to get the video out and can't wait to see it back on the channel.
Such a great video, really showed your love for the car and lessons you've learned. Thank you for sharing it with us! Get Laanaaa back on the road!
The evolution of Ben's Evolution. Awesome video as always! Been an OG sub and you guys never fail to deliver!
Look forward to seeing ur evo running again. You guys are by far my favourite car youtube channel. Watching ur videos every Saturday morning is my weekly routine :)
Good editing man, I like what you did at the end
The ending being you working on it was the cherry on top 👏👌👌
As usual incredible filmographies 😍😍
Nicely set up! A track weapon!
Good job you guys. I knew you guys would make a great video if you just took your time. Keep up the good work and good luck on those track events!
Thank God that you did not give up after the flood, I am looking forward to seeing your update on the evo, fan from Australia
Love this car. Would love to build mine along these lines but I have chosen some of the same parts. Great inspiration well done. Look forward to seeing videos of it going forward
First time seeing your channel (I think). This was a fantastic video. I absolutely love all the stuff about tracking despite not having a clue about track days, classes, not to mention modding the car. Your video was absolutely PACKED with information, the visuals were fantastic on top of that too. Had this video in my WL playlist since you uploaded it after I got it on my YT homepage, finally had no vids from fav creators to catch up with so I watched it and I'm super glad I did. 30 minutes went by like nothing. Making a special place in my memory for this video so I can revisit it and spend all day Googling stuff when I have my own track car and money to spare. 😁
beautiful editing, really was immersed. thank you g&g
Excellent summary of legit parts. Many/most youtubers get a lot of details wrong, but the pan and the uprights are key. Another benefit to a lighter twin disc clutch is not cracking your clutch pedal bracket assembly. This is basically as good as the 20 year old Evo modding for dummies thread on Evom. Amazing NZ+Australian accents too, just like the real thing, I could almost feel the sunburn and weird lizards crawling all over me.
love this evo upgrade experience
great video, tons of valuable info on mods. thanks!
Cant wait to see more and where it goes!!!! lets go Evo! Cant wait to get my LS1 C5 on fully flex e85 to the track hopefully this year! The corn is always the move!
Only heat drops from this channel. Another great video Ben
I appreciate the clean thumbnails as of late, no texts/symbols just a great photo
Love this video. Excellent work.
Ronnie is the man with the plan for any EVO! He has done almost all of my tunes. Wish he could do all of my work, but he is a busy man!
Pumped to see the evo making a comeback!
Yesss came to the channel for the Evo content, I enjoy the other car builds but as a dsm and Evo 8 and 9 owner I’ll always come back for the Evo domination
I enjoy both Ben’s transparency. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned and thats the truth for all car guys.
And the attempt/abandonment of the chapters made me laugh. Lol.
Time flies,, I still remembered watching the video when one of the rims got split in half
Awesome!!!
Very cool and thank you for sharing!!!
Superb video-well done. I'm only a year long fan I think so this is new content to me.
I wasn’t here for the early days of g&g, I love this full recap. The story of this evo is awesome
what a beautiful car, good for you man, so jealous 👍👍👍
what a video, good job on the whole thing!
wonder how many evo 9's are gonna be trying to chase your pace in street class next season
Yooo I'M HYPED to see the EVO back, Lanaaaa we missed youuu
My cousin used to compete in Rally in the National Championship with Evo's, now he's a factory Hyundai driver, because of that he has loads of Evo's laying around, from evo IV to X, some for parts, some for training, some he lends to other drivers for Rally as he has a garage. Going to his garage and see all different types of Evo's is such an eye candy that made my childhood, just went yesterday and they were changing the livery on a Evo X. Evo's are my fav cars of all time, such a bummer that Mitsubishi stopped building racing cars.
What discipline & series is he racing in now?
@@yongling9825 CPR rally 2 (highest category in Portugal) - Current Champion (2019/2021/2023) theres even a Rally ongoing this weekend.
Evo coming back baby!!!❤
superbe video man we feel the passion we share for AWD four cylinder booted car. im on Golf R mk6 plateform from 2012. Good job !
I just can't believe how long I've been watching this channel after this and the last build video, this really puts it in perspective and it's a bit mad.
Still look forward to every Saturdays video :)
Glad to see the evo back!
The SE lip replacement count was glorious!
One of your best videos
The Evo 8 both in stock and tuned trims are equally gorgeous.
Love the build. Love the strength of every failure turned successful. Inspired me to actually build a similar Evo 9 in Forza 5. Nonetheless, it’s always a dream for me to have a track Evo 9 and now, I know how to do it because of you.
That Australian bit killed me, amazing story telling and super story!
I remember being sad when the wrap went on, the white on white was maybe my favorite looking car on CZcams, full stop. But it makes a lot of sense with your fantastic explanation: dress for the job you want, which for you at the time was total domination
I'm Ready to see this car back on track. gaining more podiums
Ben's Australian accent is perhaps one of the best I've seen from an American on YT.
His New Zealand accent isn't too bad either, nice 🤟
As much as I like the auction or junk yard I can’t get passed from getting a salvage title it’s just not my thing but I’m glad you saw sentimental value and appreciation on this rare built
Aaaaaaa the videos endings are getting so much better!
Great video, great car, awesome job man and thank u verry much!
That Australian and New Zealand accents were fantastic mate. Made me smile!
That ending made me scream from happiness (that also sounds suspicious but anyway). Hope that you will get it ready soon Ben!!!
Beautiful Evo
That was awesome 👏🏾 🔥
This was a great video. Makes me want to build an EVO...
This was amazing, WE LOVE THE EVO!!!!!!!
Nice video! Love it all condensed! My 24 GRC Premium just got tuned on E40 with an Eventuri intake and it's making 326HP to the wheels, it's so quick lol
Man, I watched this build around a few years ago and I was like that is sick but now seeing the build altogether, it’s awesome and beautiful. but it’s sad to see it all though, and I believe one day it’ll be built love it keep it up, man😊😅
Outstanding editing!
17:07 My favorite Australian host, Benjamin Linton.
Every time I see my Evo 6's front caliper living it's best life on your car I smile. 😊
Man, I never thought car videos could make me this emotional until i found this channel. Keep up the fantastic work guys
SUPER PUMPED TO SEE THE EVO COMING BACK !!!!!!!!!!
I love this channel for this kind of video.
Love seeing these break downs on how it started to where it's ended up. Been following your channel for a long time. This make me really wonder "what could have been" if you had kept the Mazdaspeed 6 and put this much effort into that car for you racing. Me being a Speed 3 owner would have loved the series but I guess a built Speed6 wouldn't have gotten the views a built Evo series has gotten you.
