Holy crap...Turners are working at full speed for the Evo X! We should see an ECU upgarde soon enough.

 

why chenge the wheels? this car has my vote. we're no longer in the spotlight though, i haven't even finished paying my car off and now my IX is the older model.

 

Wow. the X looks so nice with a good set of wheels on it and lowered.

 

Hehe what do you mean "asian tail lights"? Its based on an Alfa Romeo you know, which is anything but asian.

But yeah i agree I love the lines of the front end. Looks like a God damn jetfighter.

 

Prodrive GC14

 

voltex x not widebody yet?

 

Well I can't understand Japanese but it looks as if they are well on their way. The few cars from japan (Colt, HKS, ARC) on here are lowered and have suspension mods, the intercooler pipes on some I have seen are aftermarket, and ARC apparently has titanium strut braces and an exhaust....just some things i have seen. The car is brand new and parts are already in the works so I expect some good things. The X looks nasty!

If this picture is real, HKS apparently yanked out the engine already so good news for US tuners. Parts are being developed before the car even hits out shores.

 

PS, I used to tune 4G63 engines and might get back into it. The X looks like a nice daily driver : ) (my first post here)

 

The is exactly what I was talking about a month or so ago when everybody was initially blasting the car.
The aftermarket folks in Japan are figuring out how to make this car work. We're all going to benefit from their work...

...some people need to be more patient...

 

No. They are going to benefit from you, mostly.

 

Patience will be the key but it's still aluminum.

 

The Koenigsegg CCX, Corvette Z06, and Ferrari F430 also use aluminum blocks, and have way more power than the Evo does stock. Give the technology some credit; it's not just an iron block casting that they changed in aluminum; the whole FEA she-bang has been performed for proper strength.

 

The new Nissan GTR uses an aluminum block and head, and its got 473 hp and 434 lb-ft.

 

But is a block shared with Dodge as well?

 

They're probably just getting the feel of the car and see how the motor does. Then work from that, and start tuning????...........I think.........?
