Evo X Offroad Rally Style

I don't know how many of you guys get the opportunity to do this but
I suggest it when ever possible. Just be careful that the surface your
doing it on doesn't have a lot of rocks.

Looks like fun but driving on normal roads destroys my paint enough

Awesome pics though, always love to see Evos in their natural habitat!

Yeah I had to get my car repainted after that. That's why I mentioned the rock thing. Also a set of mud flaps and a lot of painters tape would have helped.

Thanks

Rock guards rock...no pun intended. LOL. I did about a 30km stretch of "groomed" gravel road during the summer...first chance I had to throw my car in SS and let the SAWC do its thing. OMG it was soooooooo much fun. I didn't even have proper wheels, (just my BBS and stock rubber), and stock suspension. Still though, it was a BLAST. It's just crazy how sideways I could get going around corners and come out of them absolutely beautifully everytime WITHOUT constant steering input/correction. Just made it that much more enjoyable!

Paint was pretty good actually...I have 3 dings on my sideskirt area, no aero-kit(which are FRP or something anyways) and that's about it.

The car basically drives itself. You point the nose and give it gas and it goes. This was a sick experience.

Nice! I did a little bit of off-roading a few weeks after I picked my car (at first by accident, I live a semi-rural area and the road just ended ) and it was awesome! Maybe it's time to invest in some Ralliart under guards?

And I'm proud of you for doing it with an Aero kit.

Thanks guys I'll post the evo doing a three wheel during an auto X. My poor car has seen 3500 miles of track time out of 5000... Damn I love this car.... I will also post a video of the evo vs an M3... My friend is buying one tomorrow so I'll see how that goes.
