Watching JDM video of Evo Tuning

It's all Japanese so I'm just picking up bits and pieces. It's a great video. It's volume 8 of something, but it's all about the Evo VII. So far they've showcased 2 Evos - the Puma and the HKS Evo VII. The HKS Evo dropped the VII's stock time around Tsukuba Circuit from 1:07 to 56 seconds. It's awesome! The HKS team even showed a step by step upgrade path for the Evo.

yup yup...!!! I got it the day I got that video... freakin' sick... it's kinda cool when you can actually understand what they are saying, those japanese classes finally start reaping some benefits yea, kinda sux though cause they do talk a little about the ACD that the jdm evos come with, which actually has it's on ECU that can be set to user specs... not fair... it's pretty tight knowing that your car can be a track contender with the set-ups they are using though

Sounds like the Best Motoring DVD I also have and it features the EVO8. There is only one EVO VII, the rest are EVO8's.

Dude most cars could be track contenders with the right coilovers, strut and sway bars and tires and rims. Prime example the Acura RSX and Honda Civics that some JDM tuners have. They make those things fly tracks.

I bet with some stage 3 coilovers and strut and sway bars as well as some perches I could make my lancer fly around a track.

Most small cars can be GREAT track cars with $40,000 in parts.

Not 100% correct there buddy. Any cars can be made to go fast, but you have to understand that those cars have to have good foundation to be built upon. You can make a civic goes fast around the track, but you cant make it go as fast as the EVO. That also applies to the Lancer. The EVO and the Lancer might share some structural features, but the EVO was built from the begnining to be mod into a track car. I dont think that the makers have that in mind for the Lancer. Peace...

I agree whole-heartedly with masterevo on this one man... the car may be able to handle with grace with coilovers and struts, but you still have to have power man... those civics and rsx's(type-r's) are pretty much all turboed and pushing a minimum of 400hp... now when it comes to something like touge where handling means everything, a whole lot of power isn't necessary (hachi-rokus and dc2's can attest to that)... but when it comes to something like the super lap challenge at tsukuba or any other road course for that matter... power is definitely necessary... no offense man, just stating the truth

I think perhaps, the best word is power that matches the handling, or in other words, good balance!
