It looks like you are running PDE camber plates. I used to have these on my WRX and didn't know the made them for the Evo. I suppose they work since both cars are McPherson struts.

Cool vid...I want to go the track.

 

awesome!

 

Good video. It looked like you had a hell of time. Who was that in the passenger side seat?

 

nice set-up. wish they would have done a more professional job on the charge pipes though. you can see the marker line an welds.

 

Hello All,

This EVO 8 has a 2.0L motor we built and Cosworth head with the HKS GT3037S turbo kit. He's running a AEM EMS w/ UEGO. The car currently makes 420 whp on a Mustang Dyno (reads very much like Shiv's DD) We make the intake manifold, upper piping, modified throttle body, and a throttle body to pipe bracket (not pictured) but these were the prototypes that needed to be on the car for that specific track event. As for the marker lines, well, yeah, it was a prototype.

We've been doing a good amount of EVO stuff here, everything from building motors, custom fabricating piping, turbo kits, making manifolds, and most importantly, tuning. We are certified AEM, Greddy, HKS (F-Con V-PRO), Haltech, Electromotive, and Exde tuners. Our website is www.fftec.com and you can see some of the work we've done there. As for recent projects and updates, we've been somewhat tied up with the cars here, so we'll get to them ASAP.

that is a pretty engine bay

 

That on 100 octane?

If you need any high exposure/guinea pigs in the Santa Monica area, let me know. I drive hard and sorta have a reputation in the Hollywood/Malibu area as relatively untouchable (exclusively canyons)...I would gladly make the drive out to you and we could talk about it...On second thought, I don't know if you would like your name attached to my car as I have a tendency of seeing blue and reds in my rear-view mirror, quite frequently fading into the distance...

 

Hello,

Yes, that's on 100 octane. The car is not being pushed very hard, the key word here is RELIABILITY on the track. So far the car has done 4 NASA events, all with about 2-4 hours on the track each time.

As for your canyon carver, give us a call, we'll work something out.... might as well make your drive out here worth it, and the drive back more fun!

Jerry, not meaning to hijack the thread. I am assuming that this thread is partly a thread that is intended to show your work, so I take some comfort it conversing with you, as I am sure the thread originator would approve. Your workmanship seems great. I appreciate an artist, not just a wrench monkey. It is exciting seeing a man (men) who combine technological know-how with outside-of-the-box thinking (ingenuity).

I must say the clean, built-for-purpose, look appeals to me. Reliability is (to state the obvious) key...I am certainly looking to up the anty, but I have been hesitant as most cars do not see 1/4 of the abuse I put my car through...I live in the canyon and I see daily work loads on my Evo that would rival the greatest R&D budgets devoted to testing reliability. This is precisely why I am so adamant about who works on (usually me) and what parts go in my car...I have met few components that I cannot break or end the life of.

We will be in contact.

Nice!
