How to build a proper Evo - weighs only 850kg!! Evo Pro by Nicolam
Unfortunately it's not mine and I didn't do the work so I can't take any credit.
I spotted the thread on the MLR and thought I would repost on here for the pleasure of you guys

Here are some numbers
EVO IX RS = 2,888 lbs.
EVO Pro by Nicolam = 1,873 lbs.
Thats nearly 65% weight savings.
A Lotus Elise R weighs 1,896 lbs.
Radical SR9 LMP car weighs 1,708 lbs.

Yeah thats definitely not an Evo... Might as well just built a 4g63 powered open wheel race car. Is this thing legal to enter in time attack unlimited classes? I guess its loosely based on a unibody, so maybe?

agreed that isnt an evo anymore... that would be like calling a kit car a true Lamborghini.
however that is f'in insane. i'd be terrified to drive it... doesnt a ohlins suspension like that run somewhere near 10k? i cant imagine the price tag for that cars parts list...

I made a typo in the title and could do with a mod changing it for me.
It's "Evo Proto by Nicolam" - that's what he called it on the MLR anyways.
Light isn't it?

Come on guys it's an Evo.
Would you say Si Norris' Bogey was an Evo or not?

- With an evo chassis number..
- It runs an evo engine....

Sweet mother of all things holy. That is awesome.
There is an AX guy here in the States with an Evo ~2200 lbs if I recall right.
