Ddayum!!! They copied the HKS altezza too.. This is sweet tho.. And thats one more thing.. a 4cyl. fighting against those inline6 cars.. DAYUM!

 

Well may have bombed once but not again...

HKS Beats own Track Record with Carbon Fiver HKS EVO TRB-02

daayyum fast

 

Will they hit 53s? ANd what does that thing weigh ?!?! ANd what kind of power is it making? Is it using the stock 6 spd?

 

Car weights 1100 kilo's = 2425 lbs running 560 HP at 1.6 kg boost.

 

That's a closer match the Corvette C5R that I thought. Hmmm.

 

I've found somewhere that they are using mostly off the shelf HKS products for that car with only a few exceptions. That is for the engine tho.
And as far as I remember the shifter was not stock but something else... I can't find the link anymore.

 

do any of you EVO owners ever feel like your standing outside in the rain watching the party inside? I feel like that everytime i read articles about japanese EVO racing and such...it sucks...

 

I think you need to invest in more track time, Everyone is invited to the racing party, unfortunately it has a cover charge...

 

Yeah
Everyone is invited but not everyone can afford it. I can't.
I need a sugar mama!

 

Heh, yah I'm keeping my track time till I got enough saved that my Evo payments will be sub $400, so I can continue my track addictoin..

 

And from your other posts about track time costs that will be never

 

I usually budget about $2500 a year for track activities, so it's not much, but a $400 a month evo and $200 a month for track fun is more agreeable to maintain positive savings growth.. Going to the track is not that expensive. I just go too often. Most folks can spend $1000 a year and run 2-3 events.

 

thats not what i mean, i know anyone can go to a track, i mean it seems like all the goodies and cool stuff are built designed and tested in japan and they are racing all these specialized versions of the EVO and it seems like when they got a free moment, they
"patched together" an EVO and shipped it to the US.

 

The grass is always greener on the other side.. I just enjoy what I've got. I'm not even making payments on an Evo yet and I'm very impressed each time I take one out on the track.. There's always better, faster, etc.. I'll just enjoy the fun here and hearing of the fun they have there. Maybe someone over hear will get bored one day, fab up an Evo body in carbon fiber and let me run it around a few circuits.. In the mean time, I'm happy with my winter brown grass...

 

I agree with Mr2zx3, grass is always greener on the other side.
Recently you can buy a lot of nice cars in the US and it's not like it used to be before where everything was de-tuned for "american tastes". I think that the current offer is great but I'm again unsatisfied - this time because I can't afford to get all of that **** at once
Like I wrote in Other cars section, I sat in the Golf R32 and I like it but then, I want the STi too. And some more $$$ would buy me an M3 and the Corvette and so on
