on the 13th july 2008, Doug Gore entered a gravel sprint with his evo x....is this the first evo x to be put on the loose stuff in competition? i know when this car first landed in jamaica it was the first one in the western hemisphere, as he got his before a lot of the big names in japan.....

 

 

a short video of the x in action

Wow what size rims are those?? thought u could only fit certain 17's on the x. Diff brakes? Sweet video though would love to do it.

 

looks like a rs version with regular brakes.

 

hmm interesting... i dunno if it is the first, but pretty cool none the less

 

I remember seeing someone in a GG X taking theirs on a gravel road and it was there DD I think...so defiantly not the first....

There was also this one too....

Wow...........now that is what an Evo is really made for.

 

That engine sounds soo sweeet! The gravel slamin on the side panels does not.

Later, Ken

 

well this one that you are showin was not set up for gravel , it still has on a tarmac setup...what date was this picture taken?...........i still think though that for the records, doug's car may have been the first evo x to compete in a FIA approved gravel event

 

ROFL, anything to be first huh?

 

ouch, i hate even going 5mph over gravel, scratches my paint, lol

 

No way. Fully prepared Evo X's have been run in rally events in Europe and Australia for months, even bringing in stage and overall wins.

It doesn't matter if it was the first or thousandth - it's still cool.

 

i know they have been run on tarmac,,,but not gravel..even in japan, people in the know think that this might be the first....if you have proof otherwise, please share the info, like a link or something

 

Dude it's not the first Evo X in gravel...period....

You have so many stipulations it seems for a car to be "on gavel" just so yours is "the first". ROFL. It's not the first...done!
