The only thing sweet about Robi's car is how fast it goes. I wouldn't want to pick a girlfriend up in it. (Come to think of it, my wife wouldn't want me to pick up a g-friend in it either ) Good luck Robi. Do you mind if we fire questions at you? If you are looking to make a buck, it might be counterproductive...

Robi's EVO is quite extreme, and he is an excellent driver (for an old guy, lol). Also, I think he has spent more than a few bucks on it. He has managed to drop 300 - 400 lbs. from stock, but that involved most of the body panels being replaced with carbon fiber and painted body color (silver). If you want a really fast track car, you probably can't go wrong following Robi's lead. If you want a car you can drive on the street (and pick up your mistress lol), forget it. Robi's treatment is not for the faint of heart.

Robi's car is definitely not for the faintest of hearts.....but after hearin about it so much and actually seeing it when I was @ RRE the other day....I couldn't do anything but admire (cept the cracked magnus robi, hope you got that thing fixed =P). That car is built from the ground up with constant trial and error and comin up with a combination that is nothing short of amazing. I was going to ask for a ride but after I heard that beast start up and idle, I was scared to get within 3 feet of it (I'm not exactly the bravest evo driver). Thing is, Robi isn't satisfied and is still tryin to go faster....it's somethin not many people can honestly say they try to do achieving as much as this guy. Kudos.

Basic specs
Stock block 2 liter (but not for long) got over 6K racing it and 20K on the street and finally killed it through total driver stupidity!!!
Buschur Power all the way(a company who like me is never satisfied with what has been done and trying to get to the next level).
Stage 3 Head, AEM EMS, Stage V BR 580 (or 500 depends on the track) turbo, custom exhaust manifold for spool and space optimizations...see BIG PWR radiator below. (Ron Shearer through the BR "skunk works" network)
except for the exhaust manifold everything is STRAIGHT OFF DAVIDS SHELF including the Magnus manifold (early one mega light doesn't like the 35 psi I push sometimes, new one already redesigned and should solve these issues NO WARRANTY ISSUES magnus said box it up I'll send a new one tommorrow)..no special parts hell David sent me lots of used stuff to keep me in tire/entry fee money!
Suspension, DMS 50's +DMS camberplates Road Race "tarmack" after all the testing we have a "Robi" spring/valving setup that should please most people. (these have progressive springs and independant bump and rebound settings, better ride than stock on the street drop the bump to make 'em cushy and MEGA fast at the track...)
25mm rear bar Stock front (this might change currently testing heavier front sway and even heavier rear bar)
WhiteLine steering presision and anti-bump steer kits.
Enkei 17X9.5 +44 NTO3-M (needs spacers/wheel adaptors)
Toyo RA1's and or Trampio 888 255 through 275 depending on the conditions
GT Fabrications Wide front fender kit
NIN FRP doors
C_WEST front bumper
RRM/Carbontrix hood and headlight shields
LOTS of GREDDY gauges LMAOROF (6+A/F)
Sparco Evo 2 seats Steering Wheel, and racing harnesses
RRE MEGA Fuel pump system.
PWR BIG radiator, steering fluid,and oil coolers.
APR GT 200 wing, GP mirrors, Splitter (for the C-west nose, radiator cooling plate, cam gead cover, Carbon Fiber intake piping, and carbon fiber Cold Air Box.
Chassies lightened and stiffened (got all my own products here now)
Finish Line West 6 point weld in cage
MR roof panel
GOT LOTS of projects going this is a work in progress and there is still LOTS of weight to take off

I would be interested (just out of curiousity) in suspension setups for different tracks..... if that could be disclosed that would help the community more than anything.

btw - how is that APR wing working out for you?

Robi, yer slippin'. You left out diffs, other drivetrain, and brakes. I definitely need to take you up on the t-case/transmission treatment ideas you might have.

Hey Robi,

Have you tried the ball bearing version of the BR500? Im running it now and this thing spools like a stocker! Are you running the standard hot side housing or did you convert to the t3/t4 housing?
