Backwards, Hybrid Evo 3 Meets 7 Drag Car







I think the rear tires are skinny drag tires, so perhaps this is a mirage>evo conversion with an Evo 7 engine?

Vendors, is this intake manifold available?

I take it that is an EVO 3 engine in a 7 body? Can you think of any particular reason to do this? Looks wierd as hell!

They don't look like skinny's in the back to me, looks like they are slicks with a narrower offset than the fronts is all.

Are you sure?

An EVO 3 would normally have the belts on the left when looking from in front of the car with the exhaust manifold on the front and intake on the back.... if you swap that around so that the belts are on the right (as in the picture) the exhast would be in the back and intake in the front... just like in the picture...

But it's an EVO 3 body, not a EVO 7 body so the motor must be the part from an EVO 7.

I bet it gets kind of sweaty (and loud!) in there with the turbo in the passenger compartment...

I don't care if it's been discussed before, that is off the shizzle. Or whatever.
