Wow I feel really stupid now thinking that Kaizenspeed was just a honda only specialist shop (Tons of civics/rsx here in walla with the stickers).. Beautiful car btw, I'd love to see it in person.

 

Wow, your modlist sure didnt let me down. Thanks for being very detailed too.

I see you said you plan on upgrading the Drivetrain in the winter. Do you plan to track the car or anything of that nature?

 

This may have been coveted but who built your cam/valve cover shield

 

lol, don't feel stupid as Reid and the guys are known for their Hondas. Really though they work on anything that has a turbo or supercharger & has fuel injection. Their specialty will always be Hondas but their first campaigned car was a Talon owned by Alex Schuster. The guys have worked on several EVOs, but this is only the second one done to this extreme. The other one is owned by Sam Doyle who lives up in Spokane. You can see it on their website under projects.

 

Oh yes!! I built her to have fun with so I plan on taking her to a few track days. I'm sure she'll see some jaunts down the 1320, but she's obviously not built for that. I do have some some future mods still planned for her, but in the meantime i'm just gonna enjoy her for a while.

 

Built by Kaizenspeed

 

Car looks great! I love the custom Kaizenspeed parts in the engine bay!

Looks clean!

 

Im glad to hear that you will actually be enjoying the car... even if it is that CLEAN.

Goodluck to you man, and nice build/car again.

 

Looks great! Very clean indeed.

 

All that money into the car and your rocking eagle H beams and wiesco pistons? WTF?
You got a freaking motec!

Car is super clean for sure though, don't get me wrong.

 

LOL, I always enjoy constructive criticism and I was wondering how long it would take before someone asked about the piston/rod combo. Truth be told, I asked Reid the same thing concerning the combination. He informed me he has built several different 600+ whp motors and the Eagle H-Beams have performed flawless. In his opinion, they are an excellent rod especially at their price point. I originally wanted to go with the Manley Turbo-Tuffs but he talked me out of them. To this day I still have my concerns though. The Wiesco's I am a little leary of, but Reid at Kaizenspeed, Aaron & Lucas at English and several others really like them in their cars. Time will tell of course so we will have to see.

I do have to say the "Gold Box" MoTec is really my crown jewel. Tony at T1 really gave us such a great deal I couldn't pass it up. I did have some concerns with the AEM I was running so the decision was made to run MoTec. Since Reid runs an m800 in his drag car, it was the natural choice.

 

Nice build and super clean car. Good luck with it

 

Thanks SparkTech. I still have you on my "Parts to Buy" list

 

Your car turned out sweet one of the best evos i have ever seen you have alot of patience it seems like you have been working on it forever. I didnt hit it off with Reed and will do my stuff somewhere else.If i had a honda he would be my go to guy.
