Hey guys, here's a short video shot from the roof of my friend Luis' E46 M3. We were on our way to the EvoMN.net go karting "Showdown" so we threw my GoPro on his car. You'll see a slight difference in speed between the two cars...haha ;)

do you plan on putting them back on or filling that area in or what?
I think that would look pretty sick filled in and painted!

EDIT: well i guess it will be like a normal lancer then... so maybe not

Nah, I think I'm going to leave them out. It looks really clean...check the winter mode thread for more pics.

i'm wondering how much whp do u have one that beasty car?

wow, really impressive :D

i'm wondering how much whp do u have one that beasty car?

Of course :)

lol it was worth a shot

damn. Was your friend even trying? lol and what does your friend's e46 put down?

God damn street racers!



It's a borderline street racing video but I'm sure the mods will let it pass since it appears to be a semi controlled situation. :bowlol:

Pretty wild how fast the car hauls from cruising speed though! :thumbup:

damn. Was your friend even trying? lol and what does your friend's e46 put down?
Yea he was wide open...its a stock E46 M3.

Eh it's not street racing...we were just cruising and I gassed it :) Imagine the car with normal boost levels...haha!

LOL @ the sound edit that goes from peaceful to cutting out when you left him in the dust for abit, then back to peaceful music again - dang, that was insane acceleration!

You said your putting down 550whp, is that still on the fp red?

Also i know you were big into weight reduction i was wondering how much it weighs in its current state?

Car moves out for sure especially since it was low boost, I wonder what you would do at the 1/4, might be fun to take it there once or twice for a pass this season, otherwise amazing evo man i love it.

Now if only I can get me MR to do that...haha

I've been running AMS' Cast Manifold 750R turbo kit (prototype), the FP Red has been off the car since March of '09. The car weighs around 2,800....and I'll be doing some 1/4 mile runs this spring! Thanks for the good words!

I'm working on it with project Sportback!

sounds good. I'm just trying to figure out how big of a turbo I want to go. Definitely want big power, that is responsive, and is reliable...ya I know...three things that don't go well together....

Do you just never drive that car anywhere close to night time since you have no lights?

That car is crazy fast. Let me know when you are in Chicago so you can take me for a ride. I'm like 15 from AMS!

Crazy acceleration, love it. Amazing car Ryan, keep representing us X owners well.

Go with the 750R kit once it's out...it's all three. Check the vid to see what I mean...

Mitsubishi's all new 4B11T engine in the Evo X has proven to be something special. I've had some great first hand experience with it, and I'm still amazed every time I drive the car. For the past two seasons I've been racing my car all over the US, starting with a brand new car to where it sits today, a 500+whp, 2,850lb. track car. The car has seen many changes...suspension, turbos, fuel type, weight, etc. But the one thing that's remained is the stock Mitsubishi 4B11T engine. It's been extremely resilient, even after 8,750 track miles it's not showing any signs of fatigue. That says alot about the new engine and it's design, but it also goes to show how the right choice of parts and tuner really comes into play.

AMS Performance has been preparing my car since day one, with their bolt-ons, tuning and general maintenance of the car. Road racing requires alot from a car, especially the engine. The engine is running wide open for 20-30 minutes at a time, with all the heat building up things can really go wrong. That's where the right parts and proper tuning really matter. With AMS' parts and tuning, my car has been exceptionally reliable, showing no signs of failure. Even now, with AMS' Prototype Cast Manifold 750R Turbo kit on the car, it's just as reliable on track, every time. The car is making well over 500whp, running upwards of 36-37psi, even revving to 8,200rpm and the stock engine just keeps on running as if it were stock. The 4B11T revs so smooth, even with all the power and we've added, some of the time I forget to think about it on track! There's no weird noises, no sputtering, no knocking, it just runs like new...but with alot more power!

I'd really like to thank Mitsubishi for building such an incredible engine in the 4B11T and AMS Performance for safely extracting so much power out the 4B11T. Reliability is so huge in racing, if you can't focus on the track because you're constantly fighting issues, you will fall behind. Luckily with the 4B11T and AMS Performance, I've had great success with the car and look to continue moving forward.

Here's the latest graph - AMS Prototype Cast Manifold 750R Turbo kit on E85 Track tune vs. Stock

Still stock engine...on E85. Power levels are around 550whp.

Haha yea around there...this was a little bit lower boost so I'm not sure what the real power numbers are.

who cares about the numbers though. That car is beast and thats all there is to it
