In this thrilling episode of throtl, the team dives deep into the restoration of their iconic lightning yellow Evo8. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for perfection, they embark on a journey to revamp the heart of the beast - the engine bay. Stripping down the valve cover reveals a pristine engine bay, a sight to behold for any car enthusiast. But the real challenge lies in restoring the worn-out calipers, a task that requires patience, skill, and a touch of artistry.

As they meticulously clean, sand, and paint the calipers to a fresh finish, the team's dedication shines through. But their quest for authenticity doesn't end there. A special part from Japan adds a unique touch to the Evo, showcasing their commitment to preserving its heritage. With the valve cover restored and the brakes fully refurbished with new pads and rotors, the Evo is poised for a rebirth, ready to reclaim its former glory on the streets.

However, a twist awaits as they discover a discrepancy in the yellow paint shade, leading to a revelation about the car's true identity. Undeterred, the team embraces the challenge, planning to repaint the Evo in its factory lightning yellow hue. Amidst jokes and banter, they prepare to set the record straight, ensuring that the lightning yellow Evo8 lives up to its legendary status once more.
