Its weird to see the Evo X being referred to as old but it makes sense, its a 15 year old platform. Guess thats just a testament to how futuristic the styling was when these were first released compared to its competitors.
Bought mine last September , 2013 Gsr just hitting 24xxx miles(38,600 km) Still a head turner in my area and always has me smiling! Still wouldn’t mind a 8 or 9 though.
I imported myself a jdm manual awesome cars with a few mods and a map, owned 3-10 the x is the best handling by miles. In the MLR sprint series one destroyed everyone on oulton park rally circuit it found grip where nothing else could. I was in a spec c impreza it danced rings around it very clever 4wd system on those cars.
@@amapolishplummer mine was a 09 so can’t say for sure .. I’ve just imported a 2013 sti spec c that is ulez compliant so I would have thought so. My advice to anyone buy one asap prices flying up in Japan on manuals
Not only are aftermarket evo x clutches are horrible , the plastic clutch master cylinder tends to fail too. Overtime , the biting point gets higher and higher to the point where you can't even feather it with your heel. I had one that was 400hp with a Ogura twin plate clutch , it was a pain in the ass to move off smoothly and hill stops always gave me anxiety.
It’s amazing how well placed the adverts are. I avoid using adblocker and likes. I’m not in a position to pay to remove ads and feel hammered by advertising. It’s excessive. Never the less, great episode. ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
@@Bw-210 I’m a heavy RUclips subscriber. I feel the advertising placements are targeted and feel exasperated by them at times. This episode is one example. I’ve never avoided the ads at all in support for content creators. That I feel is important.

Cool video my man. I have an evo x I have had for 7 years. I also go to auto torque so yeah Chris fixes my car . Old car now . Bit an amazing car for its day . Aggressive looks .pretty . But yup on the sst paddle shift the clutch is so weak . Its fun to feel like Micheal shumacker. I love the paddle shift . But it acts like a twat sometimes and it can't handle the torque . My advice is get a manual if you can . But smashing though the gears on a twin clutch is alot of fun .with a tune remap and after market exhaust . And auto torque are cool . Not cheap . But do a nice job . Id say best in Buckinghamshire ❤
The evo's clutch is the weak point because the throw out bearing just pulls right out when you start banging gears. Mine didn't even last 1 gear bang on an stage unsprung competition clutch. Because it used tge OEM 2 piece collar lock. Needless to say mine has an act monoloc in it now.
Yo! Man like Calvin!!! Listen up!!! That's my favourite version of Evo, and this is absolutely sick. Send it my direction. I ain't got much, but I need that in my life.😅
Calv, You need to experience Karl Metcalfes Ralliart. Tuned by Evotune's Jamie Lumley. Its and absolute beast and is pushing some power for an SST car. 💥💪🏼
4b loves rich tune’s, even stock tune is super rich and pops. And you say “wreck fuel economy” but stock they get 200 miles to the full tank which is what he’s getting as well.
The life of a "RUclipsr", can't open the window (incase you get wet and a dirty car!) 😂🤣😂..... Absolutely love these cars, looks are on point and sounds amazing!... @calvinscardiary your contents always 🔥🔥🔥🔥💣💥.... A proper grafter and looking forward to your next one already
Naff Naff Co, Calvin big down our way - late 80s rave scene. Have you some connection to the brand just out of interest? For the record I’ve had two of the Evo VI TME’s a long time ago…I let them both go for penny’s- if only I knew!
Is it true that parts for Evo’s are becoming harder to find and cost more? Are the running costs of the older Evo’s financially viable? Seems like they would cost a fortune now to run one
Had to import front studs from Japan (for my canadian Final Edition), couldn't find them anywhere. And no aftermarket (but it's a good thing). It cost me like 4000$CA. And when I'll change the whole brakes (pads and discs) it'll cost me like 10k$CA. So I sometimes cry, but not as much as I love driving it. (I'll keep her stock because nobody is...except for clutch which is already gone.)
When you drive one the money won’t matter. Nothing beats something that makes you smile the moment you turn it on. Theres nothing that compares to feel except maybe a gtr
It is VERY good. As a SST owner for over than 5 years, this car is supercar stuff. My SST is built and tuned. The traction of the X, is out of this world. Better than any Supercar. Once your X is built, it's a MONSTER. It will keep up with rich guy supercars even beat it.
I have a evo x and you would have got more out of it with a proper 2 step launch as the mivec is engaged and built boost not a hater. lol just educating,

I can't agree more that cars looks were ahead of its time
At first I was like it's old?? Theb I realized its already 15 years lol

You got a Japanese theme going on these last few weeks? Either way must be nice to be surrounded by so much greatness 😮
Stage 1 tune the camper brings to life 👀👀

Do you know if yours is Ulez compliant?

I had a classic Impreza many years ago always wanted a Evo 8. Would love an Evo X. Much better looking than the new Impreza.

There’s so many metal upgrades for the cmc that solve that issue, have a magnus one on mine, plastic one still was fine at 750 AWHP
Evo x is my dream car. Sick garage dude

If I genuinely like the youtuber I'll watch all ads minus 20minute ones.
Ad revenue makes a big difference for youtubers
@@Bw-210 your point is?
@steveng5503 what's your point?
I'm sayin if it's a great episode then a few adverts is worth watching buddy

My dream to have one of these 😮 Never had the chance to test one out tho. When I treat myself to a newer car this is the ONE. ❤
dude whene ever you got a chance to drive it DO IT!!

Yes please for the camper van Calvin. That things looks wicked man.
Interesting to see this on a vid, i nearly bought this one, opted for a jdm imported one instead, good vid mate 👍🏻
The evo x is so beautiful, love the aggressive look
Calvin , Just watched this now . As a Guernsey resident a lot of data gets lost in the transfer from Guernsey to the UK
That’s a shame! as I’ve bought the car and trying to bet in touch with the previous owners.
My brother's old one, traded it in for the Porsche Boxster
The car that I’ve longed to own and most definitely will Own one at some point in my life
Yo! Man like Calvin!!! Listen up!!! That's my favourite version of Evo, and this is absolutely sick. Send it my direction. I ain't got much, but I need that in my life.😅
Couldn't think any other car I can have. Man, god already knew. Wtf I m doing. The aggressiveness fits perfect.❤ Imagine an 8/9 my god, too raw for me
Gotta be the 8 for me, the x is definitely a beauty though 💯
I'd be chilling with coffee just admireing all the nice cars 👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😃👍 very cool
Calv, You need to experience Karl Metcalfes Ralliart. Tuned by Evotune's Jamie Lumley. Its and absolute beast and is pushing some power for an SST car. 💥💪🏼
If it was tuned better it wouldn't dump so much fuel in the exhaust on decel and wreck fuel economy. That’s what causes the annoying popping.
4b loves rich tune’s, even stock tune is super rich and pops. And you say “wreck fuel economy” but stock they get 200 miles to the full tank which is what he’s getting as well.
You should set up a go pro on the rear bumper for exhaust video shots..
I'd go with the 8 out of these two but if it was my choice from them all it would be a 5 or a 4

Bloody hell clav you’ve changed abit from that clip 🤣🤣 hope your good mate and enjoy holiday
I have a fq440 sst😊
I have the original brochure for those. They didnt make many did they
@asifnoaman8978 correct fq400 20 odd and fq440 40
evo6 alllll day , or an fqmr400 , with our clark son waiting for the boost , ild be on the boost like this m135i
How does this or the Evo 9 car stack up to the R34 GTR? The R34 GTR nowadays are SUPER expensive so just wanted to know if the Evo has the same power?
Both stock yea about the same power
Love CCD
💯💥👍
Is it true that parts for Evo’s are becoming harder to find and cost more? Are the running costs of the older Evo’s financially viable? Seems like they would cost a fortune now to run one
For older evos yes
its a money pit, but damn fun
@@moistkookie7416 they look it!

I remember the evo 6 video that's when I first subscribed. You had the ep3 and e46 m3 at the time
Blimey you’ve been here for a long time
@@CalvinsCarDiary yeah you disappeared for years and one day you came back i forgot about the channel
Is this going to stay stock?
+1 for T6 video pls Calvin
Yes please for the vid on the vw camper calv ...
Please don’t.Bloody awful chavvy things 🤮
Where can I find your 0-100 times board?
That transporter was 🔥
It is VERY good. As a SST owner for over than 5 years, this car is supercar stuff. My SST is built and tuned. The traction of the X, is out of this world. Better than any Supercar.
Once your X is built, it's a MONSTER. It will keep up with rich guy supercars even beat it.
Yeh I had a built 12 plate sst and conservatively tuned it to 500 and that thing was fucking wicked for a 20 something thousand dollar car lol
I have a evo x and you would have got more out of it with a proper 2 step launch as the mivec is engaged and built boost not a hater. lol just educating,
evo x dont need stage1 tune. Balanced car from factory. Nz owner here🎉
Come to Australia mate, can use my Evo X with an SST 😂
Christ 200 miles on a full tank!
Easily the worse part . Holds 11 gallons , you get maybe 12-20 mpg. It’s terrible lol
Video on camper would be great 👍
What a car to buy guernsey speed limit like 40 mph 😂
Channel island 😂😂
I'd be surprised if it's MOT compliant here in the Mainland??
Last channel island vehicle wasn't 😂😂
It’s not even 40 mph here, 35mph
Lived there for a year, used to love lapping the island doing the speed limit 😉
Great video top man. Absolute dream car,love evos but there not on planet of dreams 😂
Take the camper to VRS for a tune 🙏
You can pick Subaru Impreza up cheap but the Evo’s always are more expensive
I take it this is sold now? Website isn’t working.
8 by far is the best evo shape 🌪️🌪️
No the 6 or the 9.
Evo x sst would kill that manual with same power. Can't really go with the 0-60 either bogging in 1st
Evo8 for me, just waiting for the prices to keep dipping 😂
🔥🔥🔥
are these reliable?
If you can come to los Angeles area i own an sst mr fq440
I got a EvoX is over the 9 cause it’s faster and not overrated like the 8/9 also less problems.
They did an fq440
love the vids
i recon it's who's behind the wheel😉
I love it. Wish I had one
Never liked the evo x at all. 6 & 9 are the dream for me.
I’ll never understand why they put an auto box in these cars. Completely ruined the car
Evo 8 is awesome
I had a tear up with a 2008 imprezza sti in my mk6 golf R around some twisty roads in 🇲🇽 and absolutely annihilated it.
The evo x is the only evo I like. They have so much potential but aren’t easy to keep alive in the Uk
stevo the evo
If you drive an evo gentle you get around 270miles out the tank
Prefer a golf r inmo just as fast better interior and more than half the fax
Golf R is a grandma car! Don’t be so stupid and buy a real racing car!
Have a word with yourself. That ain't old.
Wonder what the FQ stands for lol 🤪. Only joking FUCKEN QUICK 🚔
Evo's are the best
Expensive to repair or replace gearbox, seriously Expensive
The 8
Not really into evos but bet they are fun to drive
Subaru boxer engines are a nightmare when they go wrong 👍 absolutely love the new car 💯👌
They aren’t a nightmare, they just leave the chat 😂 when they work they’re amazing when they don’t they’re knocking no middle ground 😅
But not as quick as a diesel BMW? 🙄
Stock 2015 evo x 0 to 60 4.4 -4.7 secs and you have 60hp more and run a best 5.0 🤣🤣🤣 ouch but I’ll let it slide cause you in the rain 🤣🤣🤣
8 or 9 all day long
More pukka content Calvin
9
Subaru impreza type r is better lol
Old??? I pity your snobism.
Mondeo lol
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚘
3 of the uglyest cars going are toyota prius, subaru, and mitsubishi evo any weird. look at E38, M3 ,M5 ,Aston martins. just perfect .
Jap = Reliability
German = Scrap
🤡
If you get ANY VOLVO S40 T5 OR S60R please, please, get back to me
(S60r not 'r design' please, they're different)
This shape ruined the evo in my opinion 🤮
Cars like the Golf R killed these motors off. No one in their right mind would chose an Evo over an R
I would
I’m picking an evo over an R any day
What You sayin with Your *Plastic Sump* 😂😂
I think you muddled that up. No one in their right mind would choose a golf over an evo....
😂😂 Naaaah F off you can’t be serious! Any person that’s actually into cars would choose an evo over a fucking “certi driver bro” golf R anyday.
