I read the article too and apart from the second line talking about the stock attributes of the car, making 286 hp and the brakes,MIVEC etc. where is there any mention about how much hp the car is making with the modifications? From the article it looks like the car is representative of all of the same parts that most IX or VIII owners on here have.

There are guys on here with big turbos etc. but most of the people on here are sporting the stock turbo. For the people who aren't living their life a 1/4 mile at a time,there's more to owning an Evo besides quoting peak hp and torque numbers. For people who autocross and roadrace a stock turbo with good bolt ons is the optimal setup.

But have no fear,for all of you top fuel John Force types the May issue of D Sport has an Evo in there with a GT35R which as we all know is only way to make an Evo fast.

 

lol no im not trying to say talk about me, but i mean i think they miss lead the evo title.

i understand then and im not trying to rag on them, just should of had you tune the car befor went in mag lol. just with the mods the 289hp makes a little weak. but who knows what the guy wanted for the car.

well im not looking for evos with big turbos, and i know for sure you dont need a big turbo to go fast lol, im going fast with a little stock turbo, and also for as et i beat a good amount of gt35r, since people dont have all the right setup with them and or there driving skills slack off a bit.

but anyways DSport does do a nice job laying every thing out.

 

There is a member on here who's car is in Mays issue. Pages 92-98.

 

2x

I also just read in the new D-sport that Modified has been bought by Primedia. Oh boy another title about to go down the drain.

 

Crap!

No more subscriptions for me then.

 

...

 

Ya, I picked up the issue also. Mainly because if the Supra. I can't believe they would feature a practically stock Evo that has damage to it. Its bs if you ask me.

 

the 286hp the stock power quote from the mitsu brochure.. article never says what power the guy is actually making

 

I see the two of us might be amongst the minority that actually READ the article,I fail to see how a car with TBE,flash,intake fuel pump,and Cosworth cams is stock. I guess most of the other Evo's on here must be stock too?

 

Magazines choose who they feel like it. They usually only pick guys with a decent list of mods, usually cosmetic or if theyre making big power. If its something inbetween its probably one of the editor's friends or something like that. Mike if youre trying to get into magazines youre going to need some wheels and an interior ASAP LOL

 

Hummm, maybe i will do wheels, but there is a car in there with a full cages and nothing inside also so i think part of that is fauls, i think you just need to get them to look at what ya doing and if ya car is spiecal.

 

They decide what is special though, thats the problem. You're definitely going to need wheels and either an interior, or a cage so it looks like you're all out race

 

maybe thats what this season we will look forwarded too

 

Mike,ggod luck on getting your car to mag.I will buy the mag because i like fast ET,not all those waste money JDM mod.WHP is so little,too much bling and cannot perform well in quarter mile.

 

thanks man
