Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Round one comes from HKS, as they've had a demo model for about a month now....I think I like what I see:

Looks like they've extracted ~380hp out of the stock turbo already, and this is on a car equipped with the SST tranny!

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

About 40% more power with just an intake, exhaust, EVC and F-Con, not bad! Now if they could take about 700 lbs out of it....

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

In case you didn't notice, that car is turning... Having a change of heart? :wink:

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Quick vid with a walkaround of that HKS car. I like the top IC pipe they did, wish we could see more details....

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Black door handles, is that an RS?

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Yup, check the black mirrors too.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

the rs's have black door handles and mirrors. they also have really thin glass all the way around

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Mmmm purdy. I want one.

I'm really starting to grow fond of them over the Subaru.

However, the Subaru Legacy GT is beautiful.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Are they still going to be as expensive as the previous Evos? Or probably more...

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

More.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

You posted a video of the EvoX autocrossing on this forum... You're pretty brave. ;)

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I thought evo's were suppose to corner too? lol

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

They do, Matt just seems to think you need cones to tell you where to turn or something?!?

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

No, I'm just the first person who's come along here in quite a while who is interested in a competing (ie. regularly scheduled events involving points and a championship) in something other than drag racing and I get chastised for it by you and everyone else. Until I see you and the other dyno queens out there doing something similar then you have no ground to stand on.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Cone dodging in a parking lot is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Tracks days at BIR and the like are sweet.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Hehe, I don't mean to chastize you for it, I just like poking fun! I just don't track my car at all, it's a street car, no road courses, no autoX, no drag racing, and I'd hardly consider my car a dyno queen, since I drive it every day and it does not exactly put down uber-boastful numbers.

More on topic, I wonder how well the SST tranny in the X is would handle an auto-X course...

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Have you done either?

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Yeah if you have thousands of dollars to waste on one weekend.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Man, and here I thought PMS was only a girl thing :)

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Haha you guys are great! Why don't we organize a Mitsustyle event? Maybe an Auto-x? Road course event? Hell even go-karts...

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I tried organizing go-karting twice last summer; 1 person (Scheides) showed up.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

^Lol!

You guys' are arguing about auto-x vs. DD vs. drag vs. dyno queens. But, was this not the site/group that organized a "who can go the slowest" (or what ever it was called, sorry) event last spring?

Agh. http://smiliesftw.com/x/fatasssquint2.gif

But that Evo is pretty sweet. I'd still rather have Marks E3.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

No, we did not do who can go slowest. That was the slow-drags at the All Mitsu Cookout, put on by Curt and MN3/S.

We do the dsm/evo pull-off, who can pull a car the fastest with 2-human-power!

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

You do that as a competition? Well I need my car moved and it isn't running so if anyone wants to get some early training in, PM me!

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I didn't know of any go-kart events last summer. I definatly would have shown up! Go-karts kick ass, and I was thinking of trying to organize something like this as well.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I already race in one kart league. :drive:

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I will take you on in my evo go cart but I would end up getting killed because of the full cage we put in

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Thousands!?!?!?!?! As in plural? Maybe if your racing in an ultra competitive class. For what the average person on here is going to be doing they will spend $500-$800 for a weekend. (2 days of track time) That includes track time ($200-400 depending on the track), fuel to get there and back and run on the track and a hotel room for 2 nights. No, I'm not saying it's cheap, but it's much less than your statement implys.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Just wear a helmet. ;)

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I may have over-exagerated for some areas of the U.S., but I've seen figures around 1000 dollars to drive/haul the car out there, pay to get in, food, hotel cause it's a weekend thing, etc.

I don't speak from experience, maybe Dizzm can chime in more. I'm just relaying what I've read.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I'm posting from my experince. I have done four events, I spent about $500, $600, $800 and $550 including a new set of front tires on the last one. First and last were BIR with the Conquest, middle two were Mid America and RA with the Stealth.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

But the last one at RA you blew up your motor! Don't tell me you got that new motor for $550 ;)

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

RA was the $800 one (last one with the Stealth). Yeah, you have to spend $ on keeping the car going, but we are talking the weekend itself. Just like every time you go drag racing, or even drive your car for that matter.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

That is not a normal expense in any racing event, besides Top Fuel, but I think a weekend for them is a little more then a few grand.

Wussies!!!!

Run 'em between the trees and we'll see who has the real balls. Ask Dan or Eric, they'll tell ya!!

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

I'd be in for an event at a road course.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Pics from tokyo auto salon, very nice rides there.

Re: Evo X: Let the modding begin!
 

Looks like they've moved the exhaust side of the engine to the rear, and the intake up to the front?
