Thanks

FYI although the headers LOOK nice they rarely make significantly more power than a ported stock exhaust manifold. How about you try a plain jane MBC, SAFC, and downpipe it will be cheap easy power.

Keep up the good work though. Glad to see you out there and active in tuning.

Thanks for thoughts on the tuning. This EVO will be the most built one in the USA guaranteed. You will be seeing this at all the shows, magazines and more. What we are simply doing is showing you the results of different parts available.

So what is next for us?

Gauges
Boost Control
AFC
Header
Radiator
Downpipe
Turbo
Ground kit

It will all come together. Look for the car at International Auto Salon in April.

Thanks for the support!

Unfortunately, "most built" doesn't always equal "fastest."

Agreed - but I've noticed that "fastest" is not a word in the dictionary of 95% of modification consumers.

But going to the tuner auto salons in Tokyo or anywhere else points that out - it's more about the look than the outright performance. The cars I see on the street that actually are about outright performance here are usually sporting a few dents, a cage and a lot of abuse.

Cheers,

Paul Hansen

True! I was in Japan for about 4 weeks and spent alot of time with tuners and shops.

We are in the business of marketing obviously. We go out and buy the car before other shops who just borrow, we first hand work on the car, test products, and build a piece of eye candy that will show up in a magazine, large show, or track event. (Ex: Vivid WRX)

Although it will look "pretty" it will also have some power and handling. If we wanted to build a drag car, we would gut the bastard, put a turbo the size of your body in it and primer the door

But we are not looking to break the sound barrier, we are interested in showing you what a all around car is...
