The Most Iconic Evo Ever?! | DUSTIN WILLIAMS' 2005 MITSUBISHI FROM FAST & FURIOUS

In this special sit-down, ‪@dustiinw‬ shares the incredible story behind his 2005 Mitsubishi Evo 8 — the original APR-built Evo that inspired the legendary red Evo from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. This isn’t just another movie car. It’s the “patient zero” Tokyo Drift Evo — the very car Universal licensed for the film, used at SEMA, and sent on a worldwide tour to promote the movie. After sitting untouched for over 15 years in an APR warehouse, Dustin found it, brought it back to life, and fulfilled a lifelong dream. From tracking down why it wouldn’t start, to restoring the entire fuel system, to hearing it fire up for the first time — this is the story of reviving a forgotten icon. Still wearing its original early-2000s HKS parts, paint, and APR livery, this Evo stands as a preserved piece of automotive and Fast & Furious history. A hero car. A childhood dream. A legacy continued. If Tokyo Drift meant something to you growing up, this one’s going to hit home.
