Do the red Brembo calipers on the Evo X turn brown when you do a lot of track time on them? This was a common thing for the Evo VIII and IX.

 

Of Course. It's more black now then brown. It only took 10 hot laps at Streets of Willow.

 

Doh, I was hoping Mitsubishi used higher temp paint or something...

 

Looks cooler anyway....

They are called Blackbo's now:

 

wait are you telling me after a washing they stay black? no way.... tell me that isn't true.

 

Yup, the paint bakes black.

 

thats kinda sad.. I like the look of the red with my Octane Blue.

Oh well as long as they continue to stop me quickly

 

What idiot would put paint on a part that see's 400 degrees of temperature on a regular basis and... whose fluid inside removes paint extremely efficiently. The Brembos should be brushed aluminum from the factory.

 

That looks awesome.....black looks better. And definitely better then the "brownbos" and "purplebos" of before!

Do you have stock seats and lower seat rails or aftermarket seats?

Bride Zeta III's on some Robi special mounts:





Looking to sell these tho, I need a Recaro SPG Hans

 

Nice. And yeah, we are Recaro fans.

Don't be discouraged. If you don't track your car, it won't turn black. And even if you track it, if you're not too hard on the brakes, it will stay red, well darker red. I think Blacktrack has been tracking his EVO X pretty regularly.

 

brownbos/ blackbos = using the car for what it was born to do.

 

Amen
