Project Evo IX – Part 14 – Engine Failure

This particular Lancer Evo 9 was born as a Sport Compact Car magazine project car. From those days on, this trusty Mitsubishi saw the skidpad, figure-8, drag strip, road course, autocross, track days, and time attack competition.

Project Evo 9 Returns At Mitsubishi Owners Day MOD 2010

Project Evo 9 Returns At Mitsubishi Owners Day MOD 2010

It still needs the accessories, head, turbo, and oil pan to be swapped over from our old engine. Needless to say, it didn’t drive to the Mitsubishi Owners Day 2010 show.

Project Evo IX – Part 13 – SEMA And The Evo STI Shootout

Project Evo IX – Part 13 – SEMA And The Evo STI Shootout

Faster on track than a Porsche 911 Turbo while using full tread, wet weather capable street tires. Once we play further with spring rates, alignment and other adjustments, we’ll be able to pick up even more speed. Simply. Badass.

Project Evo IX – Part 11 – Redline Spring Mountain

We knew that we wouldn’t have the time or the budget to strap on a bigger turbo or a fancy carbon fiber rooftop before we left. We’d be facing 600whp monster Lancer Evos again with our daily driven 350whp (on race gas) street car. Not a problem for the constant underdog OR team, right?
