Here are a few more pics. Car is in Alabama getting some custom fabbed parts done. Looking to do a lightweight chromoly k member and carbon fiber dash. New turbo has been shipped and new exhaust mani is being made. The car should go 8's no problem, driving it will be another

8's should be right around the corner. manifold was just finished and new turbo is on

Wow, that car moves out....with the new turbo its going to be insane...especially on the top end! Do you think that being lightweight is the reason why the car has never broke any parts?

reason it doesn't break cause MostWanted has invested a lot of time and effort into building his evo. The evo is very reliable if you've got the right parts and the right mechanic working on it. Obviously with as many modifications as MostWanted has made to his evo there's a lot of potential for things going wrong. The stock evo has something like 270 whp, building it to 700 whp + is a feat all in itself. Having it run without hickups is something else. By no means are any tuner cars reliable when you're constantly trying to extract more and more power. it's when you pull back and tune it to 80 or 90% of it's capability that it becomes reliable. Also it depends on your driving skills

Thanks guys. As far as not breaking I will attribute about 90% of it being light and about 10% driving. The car has absolutely not broken one thing. Its all in the set up and tuner. Driving is also a big part of it. I have been driving this awd platform for almost 5 years and know what it doesnt like And the coilovers are Apexi N1's and they have been great. Here are the latest pics. It has been dropped off for dyno tuning. It should lay down some nice numbers near or just over 800. I think driving it now will be a bit more complicated and an eye opener
Car is home Well she came home and headed right to her other home which is Mike's shop LOL... Tuning will commence shortly. Here are a few pics of the latest and greatest.
Lambo Orange calipers to match the valve cover. Thank you so much Todd from Quest Nation
Thank you Forced Performance for the new snail. Its all taped up for protection on the 700 mile trip.
