Cars are arguably the most expensive hobby, if not one of the most expensive. Sometimes so expensive that we spend most of our money on them. Is it worth it? Hell yeah it is!
Guns are a very expensive hobby as well ... prolly up there with cars considering a rifle can be $15,000 and accessories including scope, suppressor and stuff can end up being up to $5000 for that one rifle ...
@@WelcomeToTheMadness That's likely a custom tune which is usually a better result than a copy paste tune that most companies who just want inexpensive and fast tunes do in order to make a quick buck.
I really like how you articulate yourself. What a perfect way to categorize the cost of this build, “it is expensive to make a 4 cylinder cool and fast”
HI Evan! I Have been subscribed for a while after finding your channel which was recommended for me after watching a Doug DeMuro Video. I've always been into cars since I was little and I am constantly looking at them and different parts for when I get my own car in the next couple of months. Watching you and your wife go through your everyday life and sharing everything with all of your cars is a huge inspiration for me as I hope to do something as you are doing, making people appreciate cars more and making others laugh and be more knowledgeable about them. Being a high school senior I really do appreciate this video so I know when I build something in the future I know what to expect. Thank you for your videos and your positivity. God Bless, -Adam
Gawd it almost killed my vibe. I’m a Sophomore and want to get an Evo and make it like this, so I appreciate you giving me a goal.... Financial mistake but you know, only live once
its 100% not a financial mistake. the 03 Evo VIII I own has more than doubled in price since i purchased it around 5 years ago. I dont believe that the Evo VIIIs and IXs price will go down anymore. The Evo Xs are nearing their lowest price and then will start rising as well. It has always been a dream car for me and trust me they do not disspoint.
I do love how humble you are about the money and not wanting to flex but sometimes my meme lord you just gotta flex on em, you worked your pooper off for that you gotta flex it
I'm about 40k deep in my Evo and I've been working on it for 4 years... That's engine internals with machining, varis kit, wheels coils, paint, seats gauges and tranny rebuild.
There are way cheaper ways to make 500whp. MHI18k $1700, Intake $300, Exhaust $1000, Fuel system $800, Downpip/Test Pipe $400, 3 Port $115, Cams $700 Dual map tune $600 with E85 Total=$4,750. You don't need a larger intercooler, upper IC and lower IC pipe with E85. You don't need manifolds. Stock clutch will handle 400wtq as much as the stock engine will hold.
Please do these for the other ones! Also too give you an idea some tuners charge 2-3k but thats here in Australia so you got a wicked price on that. Also much love to how humble you were towards this!!
It’s funny when you first got the sti we were the same age and i was just getting an 06 wrx sedan. I had no idea how expensive it was going to be and when your sti blew up i thought that wouldn’t happen to me. Boy was i wrong. Head gasket failure in all 4 cylinders so i decided to tear apart and rebuild. 1 year later and 10.5k dollars later the motor is almost finally ready to go back in. I wish more people put a price list on their builds so people can have a realistic expectation on building a car.
Hey just fyi if you are ever looking to do bags. There are cheaper options out there where it doesnt have to be 4-6k like you said. I have a full bag setup with duel compressors running Airlift 3p and it was about 1700. It just depends how you go about it.
Just for anyone reading if you live in SoCal , I locally have a really reputable shop that will do a big turbo install for about 1k, he does great work
I can't believe it myself, but I added it up and I have spent close to $16000 on my Evo X so far. And that's not including the small things like oil changes, wheel alignments, etc... I've only had this thing for a year too. It's not a cheap car to own, but damn it's worth it.
Damn it Evan my evo x is down right now and you are over here flexing! Ill be tuning it in evolution dynamics soon in dallas i live in the austin area.
Best thing about financing an Evo is you get YEARS to debate if pursuing a monster Evo would be worth it, or, saving your money while preserving the car, sell it and move up to another car (like a GTR), or, decide to keep it and then boom you have your build funds right there to go.
I personally like build videos but people always need to realize RUclipsrs get alot of stuff discounted or they have amazing friends to help them install or hook them up. It's not a knock at anyone it's just the fact of the matter that an average person like me won't have all kinds of friends and tuning places or car parts places and such yano? It's still nice to see the baseline prices of builds tho to see how much it would cost if you ever wanted to get another car.
Evan, might I suggest buying an external mic or a mic dead cat if you have a mic. It would eliminate the wind noise and help improve the production quality.
I damn love your videos. You need much more audience and be way more exposed to the community and that people will watch you. Don't think it's the first time i'm saying this. Really want to start a project on a car and after this video i took some of it and said to my self that i don't think i'll go for it cause it's way to much expensive. Thank you Evan :)
Those 4B11's definitely make power easier than EJ's. I'm at 500whp in my STI and spent a couple thousand more to get there. But most of that came from the built motor, forged internals, and head work i had done.
Cars I own: 2012 mustang 5.0 (gave to my sister cuz she needed a car while doing residency (specializing in Radiology so she will make 500k after fellowship), 2018 Dodge Charger rt/scat pack with dynamics package (just got totaled), 2019 ford raptor (arrives January, and a 2014 evo x gsr. I thought about modding my evo x but it’s just to expensive and it simply won’t be reliable. I’m just going to trade in the evo for a 2020 gt500. But I’m going to wait until I can get one at MSRP. And I will get one at MSRP. People laughed at me when I said I was going to get a raptor at MSRP. I ordered my 2019 ford raptor at MSRP so if you do your research, you will get one at MSRP. $55,840 Base MSRP for 2019 Ford Raptor Super Crew (4 door) (800A package) $3,855 Total of Options -17-inch Forged Aluminum Bead-Lock Capable Wheels -4.10 front axle with TORSEN® Differential -bed divider -bed-liner spray in -remote start system -Tailgate Step with Tailgate Lift Assist $1,495 Destination Charges Price without taxes and license: $61,190
When you have sponsorship - does it really count? My fully built sleeved block and built transmission (Dodson Clutchs) with FP Black EVO X MR (Built and Tuned by Cobb Plano, TX) with upgraded 1.5 fuel system, CP Pistons, Kelford Cams, Cobb full exhaust, MAP Performance Down Pipe, Race Ported Heads, AMS Intercooler, blah blah blah = roughly $40,000 give or take a few extra thousand (Not including switching from FR Red to FP Black). No body additions or wheels included in my build.
Might sound weird. But I got my hands on a eclipse gsx. Not planning on going crazy. But going after a RUclipsr keeps someone focused on the prize. I'm broke right now but I got a gsx and gst for 1,000$ that will be restored! And they will, I hope, hunt down that Evo.
Is the regular lancer good in terms of reliability?I digg the evo X looks but i cant afford it..looking at those gts prices for sure damn i can afford them overnight,plus their looks are so fine especially with the fq400 bodykit
This why I love your channel . I can’t afford that stuff so I watch someone who can and I can get some knowledge while I’m enjoying the video. P.s. I spent 5000$ on my 1995 hatch back.... and that including the car 😂. Just has a eBay turbzki and basically every other component is from eBay. I did none of the work . 😂 And it runs kinda junky but I can beat a v6 mustang if that counts.... 😂
Why were your GMRs so expensive? i got some custom built too & mine were considerably less. i only live a few hours from you so i dont see shipping being that much different
oooh that's is some good exterior upgrade, personnaly i would not put mod for sake of appearance. maybe just a performance upgrade like wheel, coilovers, and tires.
I have an evo x and a 2g eclipse gsx. For my eclipse gsx it was 10,000 for 600awhp way cheaper than the evo. That includes full motor rebuild with performance parts. There us definitely an evo tax. If you like the way 2G Eclipses look go that way if you want it all and can't afford it.
You should race my boy Rome when his Evo is done, see who's faster. And for reference, If you're looking to clone his build with a Precision Turbo Gen 2 6266 and not run a Comp Turbo it would cost you $8k retail :)
I’m in Arlington with a 04’ Sti. Would love to link up one day and get some knowledge on shops out here outside of AWD. Could even do some runs on the highway.
THOSE DAMN TURBO NOISE AT THE BEGINNING 😍😍😍😭😭😭
I can see why all these people have so much hate for you.

@@clemmy1231 yooooo lol
Those AEM bits cost more than that...welcome to poor financial decisions. Minus labor!!!
Your tune prices are crazy low though!
Evo Dynamics is relatively inexpensive and does it fast. They tune so many Evos they can tune very quickly and keep their prices down
Evan Shanks current tune quote:
Tuner: $800
Dyno: $85 per hour

Lmao 3-4K for someone to install a turbo kit, most companies will rebuild your motor for that price. Heck I'll install a turbo kit for half that.
Including turbo and everything you need for the turbo in the car.
Evan you're my main meme, much love for you my guy
I love the intro. It is gold. Don’t take it away.
Gawd it almost killed my vibe. I’m a Sophomore and want to get an Evo and make it like this, so I appreciate you giving me a goal.... Financial mistake but you know, only live once
Same, watching this video and looking at the comments... in a senior and looking into and evo x gsr... man what a dream

Just got a really nice job as a Software Developer, saving for either a EVO X or Subaru. Feels soo great!! Nice video man.
damn $24k before you even start touching the engine internals?
I'm about 40k deep in my Evo and I've been working on it for 4 years... That's engine internals with machining, varis kit, wheels coils, paint, seats gauges and tranny rebuild.
The energy and the vibe in this video was awesome!
You should do this kind of video for the Lexus too. I know it’ll be more difficult but I think it’ll be interesting.

Quick question, how reliable is a 500+hp evo? (4b11t?)😬
im playing with the thought of getting myself a evo x.
so your vid is unbelivable helpfull.
The face you made when you were like, I don't want to do a break down on my Lexus. Priceless lol
Worth every penny!❤️
Please do these for the other ones! Also too give you an idea some tuners charge 2-3k but thats here in Australia so you got a wicked price on that. Also much love to how humble you were towards this!!
the whole "unless its a 350z that constantly does not work" hits close to home. i love the Evo
It’s funny when you first got the sti we were the same age and i was just getting an 06 wrx sedan.

So pumped to keep watching this build
Just for anyone reading if you live in SoCal , I locally have a really reputable shop that will do a big turbo install for about 1k, he does great work
Fun fact: it’s over 100k miles lol
I can't believe it myself, but I added it up and I have spent close to $16000 on my Evo X so far. And that's not including the small things like oil changes, wheel alignments, etc... I've only had this thing for a year too. It's not a cheap car to own, but damn it's worth it.
That turbo tho sounds sexy when the shift came in
Yes cars are indeed one of the greatest masterpieces and of course a very expensive hobby
Damn it Evan my evo x is down right now and you are over here flexing! Ill be tuning it in evolution dynamics soon in dallas i live in the austin area.
Awesome video bro, fellow '14 evo x owner here and I feel you on the mod costs... it's a lot, ugh, but so fun! Lol
yall watch, this vid is gonna get more views than like anything evans posted, im callin it
Best thing about financing an Evo is you get YEARS to debate if pursuing a monster Evo would be worth it, or, saving your money while preserving the car, sell it and move up to another car (like a GTR), or, decide to keep it and then boom you have your build funds right there to go.
Wow. Crazy how fast it all adds up😳
Loving how you have big plans for the motor evan! Keep it up!
Catch dis fade in forza my guy
I can’t be in the crew and NOT give the leader the sauce
MAJOR LOVE TO YOU AND VICTORIA FROM THE CAR COMMUNITY IN TORONTO ❤️❤️❤️
Great video just bought a evo x and can wait to dump money in to it
Jep...i think modding cars is the most expensive hobby that you can have, but also the best 😀

Love your Evo.Superb work on the engine.540whp not bad for a Evo.
whats funny is right after you got the new exhaust made I saw 10 evo x near me go single exit left side
White evo, Idc if everyone’s doing it, need a more aggressive front tho and Dutch those cheaply made side skirts extensions
$600 for all for tires is not bad!
JONNY_Z__ 370z NA for all **four** tires
The evo 10’s will do over 500hp+ reliably without changing any of the bottom end of the motor??
Evan, might I suggest buying an external mic or a mic dead cat if you have a mic. It would eliminate the wind noise and help improve the production quality.
"Dads meme show" i like that better than "Talk Time with Evan Shanks"😂
Ryan B i remember adam, don't know him? Nevermind.😅
The highlight to my day! Keep up the good work Evan👍
Evan, don't you dare tell us what we don't want to see.... because NOW we want to see the Lexus, Subaru, 350z, and porsche receipts. ❤
that yellow looked so good
U should race dustin William's evo
Preston Prieto Jr dut don’t want that smoke
@@thebanksfilms4426 dustins evo makes more power lol
Preston Prieto Jr it’s a joke....lol

I guessed pretty close to what you said in the video. Cars are an addiction. Evan is a junkie. Can't wait to see it after another 10k in the engine!
I liked it just for the “good morning gamers. Welcome to dads meme show”
Keep up the work Evan 😂😂
Did you buy the evo completely stock? And how much?
Do a Lexus break down because I wouldn’t mind seeing that loves the videos love the evo keep up the great content man
Everyday waiting for the new video of your everyday struggles :D love ya Evan
And this is what I call money well spent! And it’s my fave car
Big turbo on stock block and didn’t even do any head work !? Damn not bad.
Those 4B11's definitely make power easier than EJ's. I'm at 500whp in my STI and spent a couple thousand more to get there. But most of that came from the built motor, forged internals, and head work i had done.

maybe exterior for the sake of appearance probs a headlight and tailight because it looks awesome imo

so wait you are rumming 540whp on stock bottom end?
