Wow, that was sick! What kind of work have you done to your Evo?

That's not my car in case anyone is not aware! Just the car from the shop I get my work done and one that runs at some local events.

Lots of the basics other than upgrading the turbo, and I'm putting down around 300whp on a conservative tune that was done by Martin at AMS. Considering getting crazy with the mods once it's paid off next year, but also considering picking up a 135 or Evo X and modding that instead. I'll probably decide once I finally can get a test drive in a 135. All the 135s that have been showing up at the dealer have been spoken for prior to arrival.

Cool, yeah I know that Evo in the video wasn't yours, but I knew you had one yourself. Did you read the article in Modified when AMS decided to tinker with the STi?

No, but I'm guessing you're talking about Eric's car. Been following the info on it on the Evo forums. You should also check out Ivan's KA-T 240SX. They will probably always be know for Evos more than anything but they do some pretty incredible stuff with other cars.

Right now they're wrapping up engine work on a TA car for a customer.

Once they're done with the second shop TA car it should take time attack to a whole new level in the US. Plus, that Blue car should be pretty capable

You can't help but be impressed. That's some mechanical object... it's art.

How the hell does that tiny rear diff handle that much power?
