My philosophy of building this car was having a total package of race, street, and show. I realized to have the functionality of a sedan with outrageous street-able power, the Evo was the perfect fit. The Evo is known for outgunning exotics on the circuit. I wanted a 4 door car where I can take my family to the movies, take to the track, and compete at car shows. I get all 3 with the Evo. That’s definitely my biggest reason. This car is definitely an ongoing project. Every time I get used to the power, I get the urge to make it faster.

Exterior Design

The first modification decided which set the tone for the rest of the build, was the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 APR Performance Wide Body Kit. The kit widens the Evolution body allowing fitment for wider wheels and tires. The stock rims will be replaced with Rays Volks TE37v Mach ii 18x11 -7 offset track-spec wheels to allow clearance for the Rotora race brakes.

Performance

The motor was built and machined by Trevtec Motorsports in Las Vegas, NV. Capable of producing over 1000WHP and redlines at 9,500RPMS with all Manley Performance race product from billet crankshaft, turbo tuff I-rods, and their HD 10:5.1 high compression pistons. Knowing this car will be driven in the desert most of its life at extreme temperatures, the car is

mounted with Mishimoto radiator and Mishimoto 2, 19-row oil coolers. A fully built ultimate ratio Shep transmission was added to allow quicker shifts and gets rid of the probability of a miss-shift. With all-round performance in mind, the suspension and brakes will be upgraded as well. All the rotors are replaced with a lighter stronger 2 piece rotors. All the OEM Brembo callipers have been replaced with Rotora brakes with titanium pistons. As for suspension, the stock struts will be swapped with Fortune Auto 510 series coilovers to help keep the vehicle under control under heavy driving conditions.

Interior

The interior has the 6 point Custom roll cage to achieve rigidity. The entire cabin has been made by AP carbon works pillars/ door panels. The dashboard is by Carbonetics and The stock seats have been changed to Bride Zeta-3 seats FIA approved seats to keep the driver in position better under

heavy cornering.
