2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX MR Review - The Cheater Car
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- It's no secret that AWD performance cars have never really been my cup of tea. But with a track-focused setup consisting of KW Clubsports, H&R front/rear sway bars, lightweight Volk TE37's equipped with sticky rubber and plenty of camber, Kevin's Evo IX MR SE simply defies the laws of physics.

Nice car. Keep up the good work, Zygrene. I am also a big-fan/former owner of Hondas. In a few days I will have had my IX MR for 11 years.
When I first drove the Lancer, I questioned the feeling and driving dynamics. After my first mountain-run, I started to understand. Like Tommi said, it does not like to be driven slowly.
It is the best and, despite what idiots like Mr. Regular and Matt Farrah say, most reliable car I have ever driven. 165,000+ miles, well over 300 WOT drag launches from 5,000-5,899 rpm, countless mt. runs, > 7,000 rpm a few auto-x's, and one day @ Buttonwillow. Keep in mind everything I just said.
It still has the original OEM clutch...as in the one that Mitsubishi put into it when they made the car in 2006. It is the DRIVER's that break these cars. Farrah quality rev-matching and The Smoking Clutch upshifts that he attributes to rev-hang are what kills these cars. I have been blipping my drivetrain to 7,899 at-will for a decade plus.
* > 7,000 rpm in 6th gear, a few auto-x's *
Great anecdotal input for anyone looking to purchase an Evo IX!
Sa existe des evo IX MR conduite a gauche???
So downshifting makes the car more less wear and reliable?
At 6:26 I honestly couldn't tell if that was a laugh or the blow off valve lmao
I’m a sti guy straight up but this is one gorgeous evo. If I ever were to buy an evo this would be it. Evo 9 mr and this color. Absolutely stunning.
I see Evo 9 video, i click like, simple
Man, you get to review the coolest cars😱
When you push the car hard enough you can get them to drift and powerslide, all 4 wheels slide at the same angle with a bit of countersteer.
Got kw clubsports on mine, absolutely love them!
damn that is a clean GG, even the sticker still on the door panel.that was the first thing i took of on my SE.
I’ll own an Evo IX MR one day
what camera are you using? the quality is amazing!!
Michael M.A. Looks like a bunch of gopro 4s
What size and fitment are those ?
Where can you find one of these, I live in Canada and people have no respect for JDM.
best looking evo
+zygrene what size are the wheels and tires and does he have an Instagram
I love that this guy started with suspension first. The bone stock engine has more than enough power to have fun on track and improve your driving.

The brakes are also fine
I wished Mitsubishi would go back to their roots and make these kinds of cars again. I've owned 3 Lancers and absolutely love them. In the early 2000's I'd have my dad take me to the nearest dealer just to look at these. It's just sad looking at the line up in 2019.
When I see a new Zygrene video I was stop what I'm doing to watch 👌
I love this Evo generation looks (7-8-9).
Evo 9Mr....The best Evo off all
+fabio areias True that!!!!
Evo 9 MR SE is the best.. Dont want that crappy 6 speed
fabio areias Evos are so good in digs those things pick up insane traction since its awd and definitely pulls fast in a 1/4 mile
if it was just the SE it would be a 5 speed, since this is an MR it has 6 speed.
I would know I have an SE.
I actually like my 6spd. Granted this is coming from somebody that DD's their Evo 9 MR.. I wish it was more capable as the gear ratios are nice. Aside from strength and other technical specs, the one thing that the 6spd doesn't have is that subtle gear whine that the 5spd has. I love that whine.
Love the rear on these! great colour and sits very nicely
My dream car ❤️
One of the GREATEST and most desirable JDM car of all time. Absolutely amazing. This coming from a former STI owner. I've been away from the car scene for a number of years due to family obligations, but if I was to get back into it again, this or the S2000, M3 is what I would get. All great cars from the golden age of automotive excellence.
The 25 dislikes are the Subaru owners 😂
Patrick Johnson I'm one and I l9ve the evo lol
haha, the owner of the car with his eyes closed half the time just praying you don't do anything too stupid.
Absolutely love this car. Evo ix in this graphite gray color is what’s up. Stunning looking ride
Another great review! Almost at the 10k mark u should have over 100k easy honestly I absolutely love your channel! Especially since u actually track your cars and I gain so much knowledge from your channel! I used to only stop what I was doing when the smoking tire put up a new car review. But I gotta say iv been a subscriber since the beginning and your channel is the only other channel I'll stop what I'm doing to see your new uploads. Your a true enthusiast in every sense of the word! Keep the vids coming. And the Evo 9 is one of my favorite cars of all time just the mr with the 6 speed is made of glass they break so easy. So for anyone in the market for an evo 9 get the se model. Unless u can find an Mr with a swapped trans it is sweet though how the mr has the aluminum roof Though for weight reduction.
Thanks Jason! Means a lot!
Hey, I've watched your videos off and on for a while and finally subscribed! Just curious, are you in NorCal?
Snow_White_MR2 that road looks strangely familiar. Calaveras I think?
Black mr se 07 here back in 07. Best times with the MR.
Best Evo made. Glad I was able to drive one a few times.
The 1080p60 is awesome for this type of video and filming@! LOVE IT. Better than nearly all channels. 1440@60 is welcome if its even viable.
Thanks, will keep trying to produce 1080p60 going forward. 1440p60 not possible on my current hardware. :)
Another great video, Zygrene! The Prelude videos were cool too, man. Keep it up!
Your brake pedal comment is interesting. I've had my EVO for about 10 years and have always felt the same way. The brakes are STRONG but they aren't as confidence inspiring to me as say an S2000 because the pedal is SO stiff. You have to push it hard enough that it upsets your body position if you have sticky tires and want to get into the ABS. I tried to locate a smaller brake master cylinder but it doesn't seem like there is one available.
Yes the Evo X is heavier almost 400lbs. I owned two Evo 8 an Evo X and now I have a Evo 9 the Evo X straight line is slower than the 8/9.
I have a 9 and it's easy to get drama out of it with some cams and an fp red. Back when I ran that turbo with cams it was very alive on the track..... since then I've made it into a street car
You should buy a Nissan 200SX for your DD and occasional track use...if you guys did get them in the states...
Not a bad choice actually. I was cheering for the is300 but the nissan is good too.
we got a fwd called the 200sx but i understand that in eu/aus the s14 is called the 200sx. we did except with the slightly higher displacement ka24 and not the sr20
I love the CD PLAYER lol any one knows what model it is? and yeah clean evo 9!!
Holy quiet???? Dude this thing is a beast yet at cruising speeds, it's like a normal car... That's impressive. BTW did you ever do a camera gear setup video? I'm waiting for my go pro "knockoffs" that are in the mail so that I can do car videos finally. Nice job again Zygrene!
From an exhaust standpoint, yes, they can be quiet. But make no mistake that doesn't mean they are quiet on the inside. I just got my IX MR in August and was slightly surprised by all the interior road noise. It's nothing horrendous by any means but I guess I was used to my Jeep with sound deadening and an Escalade before.. LOL
such a nice car enjoy it man 💪✌ Getting one this 2018🎧
OC graffiti you get it yet?
They have the same voice...
One of the best probably the best Evo. Still would love to buy one if I have the fund.
I get the sense you walked into this thinking it was going to feel dull/heavy/understeer-y but walked away very shocked at how well the front end reacted
Tastefully modified car. I'm sure those tires had a fair amount to do with its handling praise.
This car is currently for sale if anyone was wondering
How much they cost?
30 grand now
Damn that Evo blow off tho! Great video
awesome car.
Beautiful car I was in love with this thing when they first came out but I don't see many evo's on the road today
Every one has em in a garage they are worth something nd not adding miles is on of themm
Great vid, I think you have the best format going right now.
What Brand and or Name are those wheels!?
Volk TE37
If you test drive an Evo 8, there's a difference between the 03-04 model and the 05.
We'll see if you can figure it out and why I went with the 05 Evo 8 rs package.
Bob Doe doesn’t the car RS come with manual windows,seats and other things that help make it lighter?
Stripped trunk, aluminum roof, no electric windows, no a/c, it's a true track evo that is the lightest of them made.
EVO's do power oversteer :D
That's called torque vectoring
only the full modded one, stock evo? not so much
Deciding between this and a r32 gtr
Kevin is a chill guy :D
Which road is this at?
One day I'll get a EVO9
My uncle has a lancer and I'm jealous af
Any plans to review an 07-08 350z (HR)?
101TheKMan Good choice 👌🏼
101TheKMan why the '07-'08?
Michael Cohen Its the best Z33 (and has the HR motor).
What are those rims?
What are the RIMS called
what's the color code for the evo mr
MooseNation80 Also wanna know:)
MooseNation80 Graphite Gray
What front lip is this?
How does it compare to a GD chassis STI for you?
I really wanted an EVO 8 or 9 before I bought my 05 STI 6 years ago. Unfortunately we never got those cars in Canada and to find one in country or import from the US would drive the cost of the car up almost $10k over a comparable STI.
Also if you want to drive the older Evos, come visit Canada! We have imported RHD Evo 1-7s available here as of this year.
I haven't driven a GD STi... yet. I definitely need to visit Canada some time!
You know it! Working my way towards some free swag lol
Zygrene what are the specs of the wheels and tires?
boostedhatch3 18x10 29 offset with 245/40's
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires..
