The front passenger seat weighs in at 32lbs, the rear seats are approx 5-6lbs. Thats not even 40lbs total off the car. Doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things but I suppose it helps when your at the point like I am chasing hundreds of a second. My car is still in the 3050-3100lb range without driver. Just saying.

I have no reason to lie about my car, I am not a vendor of any sort. There is nothing for me to gain by poofing up my results. Anyone can follow my mod path and attain similar results that I have.

Disclaimer: Nothing I am posting should be taken in any way as a side jab to ANYONE. Just clarifying so no one reads more into my posts then there actually is.

 

First of all, this thread is getting off topic and I'd like to see it back on but.............

(This is directed at anyone with a stupidly heavy EVO) Weighing your EVO with a full tank, your mom's ***** collection in the back seat, your dad's ammo in the passenger seat and all that other bull**** is stupid. That doesn't reflect what your EVO weighs it reflects being either too lazy or too dumb to take the weight out of it. Racing on a budget should make you take the extra crap out of the car even more, less weight is less breakage.

As for this signature:

Worlds Quickest Stock Block Evo IX
FP Red/Stock Block 10.301@132 1.56 60ft

Project White ran 10.35 with a 1.4X sixty foot time at 138.8 mph with one of the best drivers/shifters I know in the car. For a car to run 10.30 at 132 with a 1.56 sixty foot tells me something and it's not that the car weighs 3400 pounds..........

 

I think we established neither of our Red projects weighed anywhere near 3400 pounds. I myself weigh 148lbs so that puts my car at just under 3200lbs with driver.

As for the driving ability, I sort of think of myself as a decent driver, but in the words of everyone I have given a ride so far..."you are by far the fastest shifter I have ever seen" For whatever that is worth.

 

well if thats the best your driver could do with 138mph .. then maybe you should have ryu come drive that thing..

ive seen and ridden in the ryuevoix-mobile Everything thats he mentioned is accounted for.. the car is as explained.

 

So I'll assume that no answer to the high-feed oil line being the same in the red/black as "duh, of course they are." (unless I missed the answer, haha) So are there anymore fp-black turbos not spoken for from Buschur? I might know someone that is looking.

 

Come up and we will take turns driving my personal car at the dragstrip!

P.S. bring your wallet

Now back on topic, the black is a nice turbo!

 

Hey now, lets not get toooooo carried away. Those other things can go.

 

your signature prooves what i was saying as well

10.39 @ 133 FP Red full weight w/slicks

with 5mph more on that car its in the 9's

But yes back onto subject..

Cant wait for the option to upgrade the reds to the blacks comes out..

theres probably going to be a 6 month wait before this is a reality.

 

I always travel with my mom's ***** collection, that way when a cop pulls me over I can say no thanks I can **** myself in the ***!

 

quick question. for everyone buying these reds and green turbo's and now soon to be black.. with this turbo being a non ball bearing turbo dont u think that these turbo's even tho make great power will go bad compared to a ball bearing turbo.. i would think these turbo's would be great for running low boost but create alot of wear under high boost conditions after a long period of time...can anyone chime in on this...

 

Personally i dont think its that much of a pain to unbolt it and send it back to fp for a rebuild. or upgrade to another turbo who cares as it stands most evo owners spend around 5k on turbo options anyways

 

^agree with that statement

 

I have 20,000 miles on my car with the Red turbo, I run 28-30 psi on 93 octane all the time!

 

just curious...can we get a picture of this FP Black turbo?

 

They said it looks like the red
