In a daring Florida road trip, Vin_tra sets out to tackle the woes of their Evo 5, plagued by a troublesome first gear grind and the glaring absence of air conditioning. The team contemplates a jaw-dropping $115,000 sequential transmission upgrade, a move that could potentially transform the driving experience entirely. Despite the Evo's lackluster interior, the sheer thrill of commanding this '90s Japanese gem on the road is undeniable. The team's stop at a Waffle House adds a touch of Americana to their journey, offering a brief respite from the challenges posed by the car's unique quirks.

As they press on towards Jolly's dad's house, a chance encounter with law enforcement injects a dose of adrenaline into their adventure. The team's arrival in Georgia marks a pivotal moment as they confront the single-stage paint issues plaguing the Evo. With options ranging from a costly full repaint to exploring innovative detailing solutions, the team navigates the complexities of restoring the car's faded exterior to its former glory. A visit to G Technic unveils a meticulous detailing process, shedding light on the hidden dirt and imperfections lurking beneath the surface of the Evo's paintwork.

Carson's expertise guides the team through a transformative paint correction journey, aiming to revitalize the Evo's appearance without resorting to a complete repaint. The meticulous decontamination process reveals a new layer of depth and texture in the paint, hinting at the potential for a stunning visual overhaul. As the team prepares to bid farewell to the Evo before its journey to California, they stand on the brink of a remarkable transformation, poised to unveil a revitalized and reinvigorated Japanese classic to the world.
