Ep 7. Mitsubishi Evo

Car SOS season 8 episode 7 follows hosts Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend as they take on a Mitsubishi Evo belonging to enthusiast, Greg. With a passion for rally driving, Greg has dreamt of owning a Mitsubishi Evo since he was a child. He finally acquired one, but has struggled to keep it running due to mechanical issues.

Upon arrival at the garage, Tim and Fuzz quickly realize that the car is in worse shape than they had anticipated. The engine is in desperate need of repair and poorly installed modifications have done more harm than good. The brakes are also malfunctioning, making the car unsafe to drive.

To start the restoration process, the team removes the engine and discovers extensive damage to the cylinder head and camshaft. They also find that the turbocharger has been poorly installed and is causing several issues. After consulting with a team of specialists, they decide to rebuild the engine from scratch.

Meanwhile, Fuzz takes on the daunting task of fixing the car's brakes. He discovers that the brake lines have been incorrectly installed and that the pads and discs need to be replaced entirely. With the help of a specialist, Fuzz is able to fix the brake system and make the car safe to drive again.

As the restoration continues, the team faces several challenges. They find that the car has been in an accident in the past and that the suspension and chassis have structural damage. Despite these setbacks, the team perseveres and is able to repair the damage and install a new suspension system.

One of the biggest challenges of the restoration is finding the correct parts for the car. Many of the original parts are no longer in production, and the team must scour the country to find suitable replacements. With persistence and dedication, they are able to locate the necessary parts and continue the restoration process.

After several weeks of hard work, the team is finally ready to reveal the car to Greg. When he sees the car, he is overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. The car has been completely transformed and is now in better shape than it was when it rolled off the factory floor.

In the end, Car SOS season 8 episode 7 is a heartwarming tale of an enthusiast's dream come true. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of the Car SOS team, Greg's beloved Mitsubishi Evo has been restored to its former glory and is now ready to hit the road once again.
