well, people at my school must be retarded cause, for some reason they automaticly lable every camaro fast shyt. and thats not true. well not in my case. well this guy in this evo 8 at my school was tlaking shyt about my car. yes it is a POS but it's still my babby. so i said i'd race him knowing i'd lose. so we line up on a fri. night. i got kinda jump droped the clutch a lil fast spun for a quick second and then the 295's griped. i pulled about a 1/2 a car length infront. then all i can hear is his turbo spool up and him start gaining. then i slam into 3rd.perfect shyt man i was happy that i got that good of a shift. so i pull just a lil on him. then i just see him start pulling in fornt of me by the end i was at his bumber. gusse that what happens when thier no chance for a POS to beat a new evo. then agian once i get my new intake and cam and carb i'll go agianst him agian. mayb i'll get him. but it was fun no doubt.

sorry for the waste of space

 

Hmmmmm, he doesn't know how to drive. He should have smoked you out of the hole and never looked back. AWD is a killer on the streets.

 

yeah daddy bought him the car. he didn't even get it reved before he went. my firend has a awd audi and he drops it at like 3 and mayb gets a chirp. but i still feel that i did ok. i really don't have any mods beside a shyt 350. and tires

 

Save up for a nitrous oxide kit and challenge him to another race. Air down your 295 tires. Buy a short belt that goes around the crank and water pump only. Pull everything out of the car, spare tire, jack, passenger seat, etc. and practice your launches. You'll win next time.

 

I thought they were pretty cool cars until the first 3 we had stayed in the shop on a weekly basis.

Mitsubishi :thdown:

 

I like the fact that mitsu actively trolls the net looking for race results with evo's in them and then cancels the warranty.

 

whoa I hadnt heard that one

And yeah he can't drive for ****, shoulda smoked you bad if your 350 is as bad as you say.

 

lol , no worries put some work into it adn you'll have him

 

Mitsubishi still Sucks

 

lol yeah. mitsu isn't the best company ever but they still got some good cars. but yes my motor is suxor. who ever paid money to put this motor in must be stupid or something. but i'm getting a comp cam 270 magnum serires edlebroke preformer idle to 5500 intake and holley 750 carb. hooker headers. i think i'll gain a lil form that

 

myth

 

Sorry man, I cramped one those Evo crap a few months back with my ac on, 3/4 tank of gas, jack and spare, with my girlfriend and a buddy of mine all in my car. Boy it felt good!!

Amen...:werd:

 

wow thats like totally...








....stupid

 

"The Camaro wins. The Camaro always wins. Even when the Camaro loses, it wins."
i think ManaicZ or somthin said it. Well he has a good point

 

I still would not chance it. If I had one I would not be putting down what kind of car it was on my tech cards.

 

so your saying you took a evo. ok well what evo was it a evo 7,8 umm bigg diff in the engine and what the cars about. i can beat 7's all day long. but not 8's

 

arent the 8's the only ones in the USA?

 

Read the description of his motor, if that is all true, then why would it come as a surprise to be beating one?

 

lol opps i was reading the worng one. lol well nvm. i'm worng on that one. and this guy go the last one mitsu sold here. so i dunno

 

It costs less than 1000 dollars in mods (500 if you buy used parts and get free dyno time) to put an evo DEEP into the 12's.

I'm sorry this spoiled high school kids gets one, an evo is a man's car regardless of its engine size. The evo's like Rocky Balboa lol, small man with a hard punch.

 

Do those things have endurance like he has? LOL

 

haha sadly we'll have to see about that... but that cast iron, low compression , forged internals block can definately take a beating from Apollo "20+ psi on pump gas" Creed ...

 

LOL thats funny

 

The evo's like Rocky Balboa lol, small man with a hard punch

 

While I'm at it, all Carl Weathers needs to do is run for governor and 6 percent of our nation's governors will be from the movie Predator.

 

Sure the EVO has endurance. The motor has been around for like 15 years now. That's one of the other reasons that it's easier and cheaper to make an EVO faster than an STi. People already know how to make the motor fast, and the aftermarket is already there. It's essentially just a 4G63-T (Eclipse motor).

Predator kicked A$$! love that movie! LOL

Manic z, who u talking about?

 

haha Predator kicks ***! Guys were gettin off topic

 

thing is though how would mitsu actually know who exactly was racing
if I posted that I was in a race how and then went to go into repair
how would they put mitsuracer579 and james together?

then what if I own two mitsu cars
they can't deny warrenty service on car b when I was racing car a.

and not sure on this but can they deny warrenty service if the repair I am looking for is obviosly not a racing broken part. like lets say I can't get my trunk to latch.

what if I was just some kid making up races to look cool.

just seems to hard to really track down for sure so donno
mind me askign where you got this info?

not trying to slam you just doesn't make sence

 

learn how to quote idiot. and maybe one day you will realize how many vehicles out there are better then a third gen fbod.

 

The way I heard it, was that people from Mitsubishi were attending NHRA events, or any event I guess, and writing down plate numbers, but I don't really believe it. It's not economical for a company to do that for one; and on the other hand, if they really didn't want to deal with warrenty stuff from racing, they'd just stick to econo cars like Honda does. Mitsubishi doesn't look like they are going to be around much longer, and unlike Chrylser, no one will be bailing them out this time.

 

That doesnt make much sense. Why the hell would mitsubishi make a 276hp turbo 4-banger AWD rally car that runs low 13's for the public if they didnt want them to race? Hell if the car was for daily transportation and not for racing, they could have taken away 150hp!!

Doesnt make sense. Its like chevy making Irocz's and telling people dont road race them cuz they arent designed to handle and race!!

 

just being they made them fast doesn't mean they want to fix the problems of ppl breaking stuff :-)

 

True But
Anyone should have the common sense to realize that that power coming from a small motor is gonna be hard on parts. They should have realized that these cars are fast and are gonna be run hard because thats what their made for. Why else would you buy a 276 hp AWD car that runs low 13's? it aint no soccer mom car. If it breaks often, then the car is not made well, and mitsu should warrant the cars. Its the purpose of the car, mitsu knows this so should be prepared for the consequences.

Now adding more boost and turbo upgrades and blowing it up shouldnt be considered under warranty cuz thats outside stock. Just racing stock car and damaging it should be covered. Minor exhaust mods and CAI should also be considered stock and be under warranty.

 

They aren't looking for posts on message boards but results online from track events be it drag racing or autocross.

 

Oh and they already have enough warranty claims for the crappy stock clutch so I have to wonder what the next weak link is after a good clutch.

 

The weakest link in an AWD car is the tranny. Mitsu as a company may not be the best but some of the cars they make are awesome. The Evo is a sweet car. The 4G63-T is an awesome engine. Very efficent and can handle some abuse. I have a lot of respect for the AWD turbo cars. For a little dough they can be made quite lethal. Of course they break stuff, performance cars are high maintence. My TA hasn't exactly been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. I am in a good situation, I own both a V8 muscle car and a turbo AWD car. Both have their pros and cons and both are fun as hell to drive.

Anyway back to the original post, it sounds like you were pretty close. A few mods and you might be able to take him down. It doesn't sound like he knows how to drive so you should just need a few more horses to be able to take him. Unless he learns how to actually launch an AWD car.

 

You think 276hp is hard on the parts? Consider that in the UK the Lancer Evolution 8 MR FQ-340 is sold and it comes with the same 3 year warranty on the 340hp.

In Japan there was a limited run Lancer EVO 7 RS450 which came with a 1 year warranty on the 450hp.

 

what he said, i raced one and it wasn't too close =( we were going 100 on the highway and i passed him, then i waited for him we got side by side and we both took off i got in front for about half a second and then he got passed me and i stopped trying. i have 2.73's but i'm switching to 3.42's so i hope i don't lose even more top speed.. will i?

 

Well, by killer on the streets, I meant at stop lights. AWD cars tend to have a little less top end than an equivalent 2WD car because of the extra drivetrain weight.

 

the Evo's might be awesome cars...powertrain wise...but that has to be the ugliest looking mother****er i have EVER seen...

Brody, there are cars better than a third gen?
No ^$%^ sherlock.
But who cares?
This is a third gen site, and I wrote a fun saying.
No need to call me stupid or an idiot.

Jackass.

 

I don't see how a drivetrain loss correlates to
"top end" if by that you mean the ability of an engine torque output to not fall off at higher RPM's. On N/A cars this would have mainly to do with the duration of the cams, the stiffness of the springs, and head flow capability. On turbo cars this would primarily be dictated by the flow rating of the turbo vs. the volumetric flow at a specific rpm you are evaluating. If my car is AWD and your car is FWD, and we both have a 300hp engine, you might pull faster than me on the highway, but if we both have 300 to the wheels, it doesn't make sense that you would pull any harder.

So...what are you talking about? You could argue that the frictional loss is nonlinear, but I think you'd be getting into some really advanced differential calculus.

 

I see what you are saying here, and am not quite sure how to answer your question. My assumptions are mostly baseed on the many complaints I've heard from people with DSMs and WRX's that can beat cars at the track because of the advantage they get from the AWD launch, but lose to the same cars from a roll, or on the highway.

I agree with your statement about having the same power at the crank that the 2WD car would be faster, but I'm curious about the scenerio where they both have the same power at the wheels. It's someting I've put a little thought into, but haven't really seen anything indicitive to whether the rumors are true or not.

 

i used to own a 2002 lancer, the non turbo one...slow as **** lol. beat my share of civics with it though and some focus's.

but uh...yeah Evo staff does goto track events and look on the net to void warranties..

the clutch on probably 35-40% of the Evo's is gone before 15k is on the Odo.

goto www.evolutionm.net and just read what the Evo guys say about Mitsu and there warranty work.

and to launch the Evo u need to be at about 5500k and drop the clutch or give it a fast slip...other wise your gonna bog it down or just spin the tires

and i think Evo's look pretty hott

 

Dont you have an auto ?

 

I don't believe it. NO warranty, ANYWHERE, or ANYTIME, has ever, or will ever cover a clutch. It's a wear item. So unless it explodes, it doesn't matter how many AWD launches you do on the stock clutch, it's not covered anyway.
