I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Snagged 2nd place in my class this past weekend, not bad for my first show of the year. I know a few of you mofo's said you were going down to it, so here's a couple pics from when I was there...

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

why did you win 2nd place??? you car looks stock... were they giving out prizes for stock cars?

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Stick to Honduh's julio...the car is pretty far from stock. The classes were broken down to the vehicle range, I happened to take 2nd in the mitsu-Lancer/Evo class of which there were something like 46 other fools that I was competing against in that class alone. My g/f took our WRX down and didn't even place, there were well over 150 cars competing in the WRX/STi category. It's a pretty big show, something around Nopi's size.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

stock evo, my justy would run train on it.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Your civic proably would of gotten last place LOL. Car is clean.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I'd sell it if it didn't :P

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

mod list?

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Yawn... Stock EVO....




Boring.........
















































and slow

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn O0

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

So far I'm sitting at this for power mods:
Walbro 255lph hp
PTE 780cc injectors
Evo 9 20g with FP adapter kit @ 25psi
XS Engineering 272* cams (replaced the older Crower 272's...these make more power through the full rpm range)
Gates racing Kevlar balance and timing belt
Buschur Racing stainless coated and ported o2 housing
ported 10.5 hotside on the 9 turbo
Ported to hell stock manifold (looking at an Invidia equal length soon) with Kakumei racing S.S. heat shield
HKS 3" downpipe
Megan Racing 3" test pipe
HKS 3" hi-power cat-back
Injen lower IC pipe
Injen Upper IC pipe
Injen intake pipe and filter kit
Turbo XS H-34 recirc valve
ETS 3.5" FMIC
ARP headstuds
Cometic headgasket
LC-1 wideband
Tuned by me via EcuFlash and still running the stock maf sensor

There really aren't any major body mods other than the Do-Luck CF lip and evo 9 mr vortex generator so that's why it looks like a stock 8. Trust me though, the guys in the vettes tend to find out pretty quickly that it's not stock but I'm getting pretty close to the safe limits (at least that I want to take it to) of the stock motor. I could jump up to a FP Green or 35r at decent boost but that's pushing it, so until I drop some rods/pistons in it that's as far as she goes. Originally I only wanted 350awhp, but I've surpassed that one by a bit. As soon as I can find a semi-local guy with an awd dyno I can get an exact number, but numbers in DataLogLab are showing into the low 400's to the wheels on a consistent basis.

HMT that intercooler

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Doesn't bother me in the least...I haven't had anything even close to the problems he's had with his junkpile ;) He might be faster, but I'm riding in style :)

Which one? The ETS one? HAHAHA...sorry, don't think so. $800 on a FMIC and it's not being HMT'd. And the stocker isn't that great efficiency-wise anyway. The ETS one is rated for 80% efficiency at 1200cfm.

*Edit...sorry, quoted the wrong cfm number, it's not 1400.*

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

damn u spend $$

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

You could say that again. There's probably more sitting in cost of parts than most people on here pay for their cars. :P But it pays off with quality, simply put...you get what you pay for.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Ehhhhh stuff like piping I don't think more money equals more quality, you can't really ---- piping up.

However it's a clean car and I've always liked evos, congrats

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Well the mod list and hp estimation are nice but what does it run at the track?

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

car looks stock with a extra hint of rice

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I like it :-[

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

There is a place he in North Nj that does a lot of dsm stuff, they have a 4wd dyno. BTW on of my friends work there; here is his evo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ye-od77rOs4 >:D

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

nice job, almost sleeperish.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

x2

$800 for an intercooler instead of a CRX. :3

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

$800 for crap, ETS is a ------- joke

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I like it myself, even though it definitely cost more that 7 of my cars put together.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I guess that's why I don't go to car shows. Bolt-ons win car shows now? Wow...that's sad. :-\ Way to go I guess.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

looks great. but check yoself if an evo is "riding in style"

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

exactly.

i actually like making ---- for my honduh. anyone can point and click parts they want to buy. its just too easy.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Looks like it sits too high in the front and not feeling the rims at all. Overall a decent looking stock Evo (as far as looks).

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

For how much was spent on an Evo I would go with an old school NSX + HMT.

That'd spank up AWD pig boxes all day. Lovefab ran a 10.3 in theirs when it was making just a hair under 600hp, granted it was on slicks, but still full interior with upgraded sound system.

Seriously, look at this ----------er even:

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I was hoping for a second place at a drag event.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

yeah, no ----...

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

In a evo??? riding in style??? ------ please. As for problems... If you ever make any real power.. Youll be wishing you had only the tranny problems... Unless you spend a grip on drivetrain. I have a buddy locally making about 460AWHP and hes breaking ---- left and right. AND PAYING A SHOP TO FIX IT.

Enjoy

O0

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Amen, they're actually somewhat rare and I'm not sure what kind of power they'd make, but I'm sure the RWD and extra couple cylinders would stomp anything I could do with other honduhs. It would definitely get some looks too...

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

You're just jealous :-*

CRX's are rotted pieces of junk these days, you won't find one in good shape for $800, plus all the gas miser people are scarfing them up left and right. I saw a bone-stock non-Si selling locally for $4500 and it needed quarters and a head gasket. :P

Check again...they're in the same category as AMS and Buschur's race core fmic's. This isn't your cheap ass chinese junk radiator core that most of you guys run, they start with a Garrett/Honeywell core and go from there. My AIT's are only about 7-10* above atmospheric temps at 25psi, even for extended periods of time at the auto-x and solo tracks. It's 14" tall and 32" from end tank to end tank and 3.5" wide. What was the world's fastest Evo (up until 2 months ago when AMS beat them by a hair) runs a 4" ETS piece. Do your homework next time.
Umm, that's pretty much all you need on an Evo...what do you think a 35r or every other Evo closing in on 500hp is running? Stock motors can take 500 daily, not like your 200-300hp honda limits you're used to. The only "non-bolt-on" things you can do to these motors is pistons and rods and valve/port work (unless you want 2.3 or 2.4 liter strokers).
Beats a cavy or a honda ;) If I wanted all out baller style then I'd probably be driving a bimmer or a mercedes, but who really wants all that wasted luxury? I do like my car to be a little archaic at times and ride like a beast, unlike most baller types.
There's a guy down in Philly running 10's off a stock turbo'd '03 model and water/meth injection on a bone stock internals motor. It can be done, but I'd like my motor to last a long time in stock form. Maybe over the winter I'll build it.
I prefer auto-x type of events, takes alot more driver skill. :1
It sounds like he got a beaten and abused junk pile or he needs to find a better shop. :P It's all about the maintenance on DSM's, if you keep up on it constantly you'll be ok. Yeah, things do break...it's the course of machinery, any machinery DSM or Honda. As for tranny, that's in the works (Sheppard builds a great dogbox and T-case, that's where my next investment is). I don't beat the piss out of my trans just because I know they have issues (the 6-spd one's way more than the 5-spd). Granted I'm not making extreme amounts of power for an Evo by any means, but for doing all my own tuning and work it's not too shabby and still beats 90% of the local street cars where I live. And it's my daily driver that I can still drive in the snow during winter and break 4 tires loose on pavement in the summer.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Ya he just had the tranny rebuilt at sheppard... Not the full dogbox, just the upgraded gear setup they do thats about a grand...

He creeps around here.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

Best way to go for any DSM trans/T-case IMO. You can't beat Shep for trans work. Shame he doesn't cover Honda tranny's, he'd probably make a killing.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

car is aiite. I like the lip. could careless about the hood thingy. The rims are :1. But the motor sounds :y

all in all a nice car I suppose. you probably woulda got 1st if you had better rims :P

did you take any pics of the 1st place winner, just curious to see his/her setup.

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

I believe a stock evo x won first place in mitsu's.... goes to show you how much the judges there dont know

Re: I won 2nd place down at Carlisle's import show
 

No, the stock evo 10 got 3rd and the guy was a complete douche. He made more than a few nasty comments on how his car should've won first, then we told him to shut the ---- up and stop complaining seeing that his car was still bone-stock and had no business where it was (I also made a little side comment how it must have been the Honda class judges that judged his car...he didn't like that at all lol). My friend Kurt won first place, he's got an '05 Evo 8 with train horns under it but it's super friekin' clean. His engine bay is spotless, you could eat off of it.
