Street Tuner Challenge Season 3

Anyone catch the new season on SpeedTV? Skunk2's working on an EVO RS. The EVO's competion will be a Mini Cooper and a Ford Focus. Sure the segments aren't long, just a 30 minute show, but it's still cool to see a Street/Track Car come together in front of your eyes.

That Skunk2 guy is Nutty! Chino or Chito, something like that. I forgot his name.

Do you think he'll try and blow the 4g up. He is Honda biased.

I saw that too. I haven't watched much in season's past because the cars usually suck. I guess I'm gonna have to try to at least catch the segments with the Evo.

I feel bad for the other competitors, they are gonna get there asses kicked! I don't what you do to a Focus, it's gonna get smoked...

I thought it was funny when they said "we got to make this evo RS lighter" so they took the alum. hood off and put a heavier carbon 'super rice edition" hood on instead.

and the fact that that leader guy from Skunk keeps calling it a evo 8!

oh well im still watching cuz its a import show on speed which is rare.

Can you take some pictures and post them up here for discussion?
Post older ones if you dont want to reveal anything before it airs on SPEED TV.

What are you going to do with the 700lbs of stock parts that you took off the car?

yeah I noticed that too.....I was like wtf? I really hope they don't screw this one up and make the car look bad. I've seen too many people go from a civic to an evo and think it's the same thing and can do the same stuff. They are two totally different machines
