About a week ago a customer of our approached us with the idea of building a track EVO X. He wanted a turn key track car that he could pick up from us and take right to the track to have some fun. We helped him out in negotiations on a brand new Silver EVO X. The dealership drove the car over to us and with only 30 miles on the odometer we began the build

The kicker is we only have 10 weeks to bring this from a stock EVO X to a fully prepared track car. Let the games BEGIN!

The part list for this car is pretty clean and simple. Its a formula similar to a couple other EVO X's we have built and quite simply....it WORKS!
