Love it! how much did you put down?

 

It put down around 600. The converter really eats up the power.

 

I took the car to an import face off event to work on getting it dialed in and entered the FIS class.

Qualifier 1: Missed due to long tech line
Qualifier 2: 1st pass 10.2@140 (Q1)
Round 1: Bye run
Round 2: 2nd pass 9.7@134 (broke up - plug gap too big for added boost)
Round 3: Bye run
Round 4: 3rd pass 9.4@144 (1st place win)

Next outing I hoping to get 1-2 more tenths off the 60' and then turn it up a bit.

 

Congrats on the win! Your evo can boogie

 

nice work Scott!

 

Raced the car at a couple more events and did end up with a new personal best. Unfortunately it spun pretty bad, the pass prior was a mid 1.4 and it couldn't handle the additional power off line.




Making some more changes in the off season including cams, tires, turbo kit, fuel system, roll cage, etc... A PTE 7285 will find it's way on next year to get the car in the required min ET range for the super street class at world cup finals.

 

What a cool car. And its fast as hell. Love me some early evos, and their quite a bit lighter compared to the contemporary evos.

 

Thanks for the kinds words! From what I can tell, the car was 2750lb from the factory; almost 500lbs lighter than the CT9A.

 

Painted the cage and got most of the interior back together.

 

That's a clean and tight cage, beautiful!

 

Put in my other long block in preparation for more power. It's a 2.0L with R&R aluminum rods and Diamond 10.0:1 pistons. I was going to wait until mid summer to do this but oh well.





New manifold - Morrison Fabrications T4 divided top mount. They make really nice evo/dsm exhaust manifolds.




Going to be racing the first half of the year with my 6270 in IFO events. The 7285 will find its way on to see how deep in the 8s I can get to pre-register at world cup finals.

 

Car is all finished up. Just waiting for tracks to open.

 

Maybe turn that comp and run a water to air above the box.

 

*****. To. The. WALL!!!
This car is awesome. How LHD though, Mirage swap or did I miss something?

 

Can’t wait to see what times it runs bud
