As far as I know the vehicle in the magazine article is a customer's vehicle - Matt Smith (I think) - #3 on this list http://www.dsmtimes.org/evo.htm

It looks to me like that car is minus at least the a/c condensor - but its hard to tell from the picture

I know for sure that the Buschur Racing evo is RED and it has a/c and all other stock accessories

I also seem to recall his traps with the BR kit being not much faster at the Ultimate Street Car Shootout despite the AEM, race gas, etc,.

I also recall Robi's motor grenading itself during OTC (Sears Pt, to be exact). Do I have a firm grasp on the facts? If not, please clarify.

Shiv
I dont follow those obscure threads. I cant really remember the details but I think the famous Ali Afshir from ESX actually drove Robi's car at some point at some high altitude track - but I don't recall where, when or what times they got.

Maybe Robi can chime in.

Also - Robi's motor did suffer a failure during a road race which at the time was attributed to fuel starvation with an empty tank and fuel sloshing around during hard cornering.

Despite his engine failure - Robi completed the event and placed very well indeed !

BTW - just as a side note - you know its specifically against the rules for YOU to be posting on my vendor forum, or for any vendors to post on other vendor forums and yet to you continue to do so.

Just a note (not to add fuel to the fire): Robi's car is set up for road racing, not drag racing. That it's quick on the strip is just a side bennie.

Im amazed at how fast these evos have gotten...and how well they all do it..al..a dual stage computer would be amazing.. imagine having a nice fuel cell full of your favorite drink....and the tank for the street stuff....I had that in my t type but i used to have to pull out my chips...something u couldnt do on the fly....is the system youre designing going to be a switch on the fly?

you could always set up a big relay switcher board that would toggle all the wires from one
ecu to the other with a dash mount trigger. it would be pretty damn messy though. gotta be
50 wires to switch.
one of the audi tuners has a chip that switches between 4 maps through the switch for the
trip computer. you can set it for stock, 91, 100, valet(rpm limiter). that would be pretty nice
on the evo.

badazzcr,

Not sure what kind of picture you saw but it wasn't of our car if it is missing anything. We have the a/c, power steering and all still in it. The only thing missing on the car for weight is the front bumper. NO other reductions have been done.

Thats the general consensus-even Buschur's the last time I spoke with him.


BTW is 26.5 lbs. low boost to you?? That's what he ran last time.


I just thought i would toss this thread into this cause of evotomig's post that is quoted above....

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=94234

read through and realize that was a first time run 3 days after put together....stock motor except cams and head studs....on a reflash....with a small 3037 with only a .63 exhaust side and full boost by 4000 rpms...

Not sure if it was your shop car or a customer's but the one in the new Turbo mag was missing the A/C
