Hi all,

We were out on the weekend doing some gravel action with our evos (the silver one is mine). No shine in here, in oure roads its all mud and stones.

enjoy



this is the corner where the red evos tire came off the rim...

Great to see the cars being used as intended! I hate to admit it, but mine is just as dirty right now and it hasn't seen a gravel road in months.

I love that picture. Yesterday I was on my way home and wanted to turn off the highway into a construction site to get a little rally action and my girlfriend almost started crying. Needless to say, she walked home.

Sweet! I would like to try that, I'm just such a clean freak. Mud flaps are a must for conditions like that.

one more thing about mudlaps, they are not just in "outside" of the car, the whole car bottom is covered with 4mm thick rubber.
Also i have 5mm thick steel plates at the pront and at the back of the car (under the rear diff) its must, i hit that steel to the ground at least once a day (thats what quality the local roads are)
