evo 9 hillclimb build log
A few years ago I raced the Idaho NHA hillclimbs in my evo. It was a mild SM build with stock motor on e85 and a ohlins suspension. It was competitive (holds records at Bogus Basin and Freezeout for fastest doorslammer) but i knew the platform had more in it. Took off a few years and raced around the west in RZR's and that was a blast, but i kept missing the power of a turbo'd car. This fall i was talking to a buddy of mine (Bryant) and he mentioned wanting to race the entire hillclimb circuit (7 races) and we ended up decided to campaign his car together. It just so happnes i bought a tubing bender, welder, and notcher to build parts for my rzr so we are going to go with a full cage, gut the car (still trying to decide if we can keep it SM legal or go up to a higher class and drop more weight), add more power, possible swap out suspension, etc...
Cage i build for my buddies rzr. i am sponsored by Magnum Offroad so i couldn't even make my own cage lol
fitting laser cut panels:
Here is our starting platform:
starting the gutting:
The build will start slow because i'll be snowmobiling for the next couple months. Planning on really hitting it end of january/february as time allows.
