Hey everyone.

Just for nostalgia's sake, I'm wondering if anyone has any links to photos or videos around the web of the Evo VIII & IX in production at the Mitsubishi factories.

There is a great video on YouTube of the Evo X being built, but I can't find any media on the VIII or IX, or the VII and earlier for that matter.

I would appreciate anything you can come up with! Thanks.

 

wow, me too! I tried looking everywhere for this, on the assembly line being painted, put together, inspected, anything at all but found nothing. My buddy even found pics of his Fd in the Mazda plant in the 90s.Found plenty of the evo X but I couldn't even find an evo ix/viii crash test video lol. Anyone has these it would be highly desired and please share! thanks for starting this thread op..

 

To start it off, I will share the two videos I've found on the Mitsubishi factories building Evo X's.


This one is less focused on the X and is more general Mitsubishi cars, but has a few shots of X's being built.

 

^^
Yeah I've seen the X ones plenty of times. There is a show called "How its' made dream cars" or something similar. Would have loved if they had done an episode with the Evo 8's or 9's. ;(

 

Not quite exactly what you are looking for but they talk to some of the people who worked on the car. Pretty interesting overall.

 

Theres a Vid Ive seen a few times which shows the factory tooling that was developed to attach the alum roof to the body (MR/RS)

I cant find it anymore

 

I found a pretty damn cool video.

The conversion of a street car to a homologated rally car.
