Hello everyone,

My name is Rob Krajecki, from Chicago, IL and I currently work as a Regional Sales Manager / Market Development.

A big shout out to @subie_mike for the photos.

I currently drive a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR, which is currently pulling a healthy 500whp.

Growing up, my parents were the definition of petrol-heads. From motorcycles to cars, they were into it all. So naturally, it started with Hot Wheels cars and eventually progressed into owning a bunch of different cars.

However, the Evo was always one of my dream cars on the bucket list. When the opportunity came up for this one, I had to buy it. It was a single owner car that was purchased in California and eventually traded in for a Hybrid Lexus believe it or not. 

Once I got the car home, I got to work immediately. It was a diamond in the rough as far as condition goes but I was able to bring it back to life and turn it into what you see today. Many hours went into making the paint shine again since the sun had faded it to a hazy pink colour. But once that was done, the modifying began. I initially started with just wheels and suspension but it snowballed really quickly to what you see listed. 

As the years went on, I decided that the car needed to be just as fast as it looked. I turned to Strictly Modified Fabrication and Eric has guided me along the way ever since. His work is some of the best in the world and continues to turn heads everywhere the car goes. The car has won numerous awards from WekFest and TunerEvolution and continues to change every single year.

While the build is close to where I want it to be, I don't think it will ever be done. Like any project car, I don't think I'll ever be satisfied. But I'm okay with that. This car continues to be a lifelong project that represents different phases and times in my life. And because of this, I'm hoping to continue pushing the boundaries of what defines a 'clean Evo build'.
