Clash of the Titans....photos

[BoxerSix]

Clash of the Blues shall we say. Two customer cars, namely Eric Smiths 2003 Evo 8 and Justin McGraths 2006 STi. Two completely different approaches to speed and completely different animals in their own right. Some pics/descriptions of the cars out at my shop.

Note you photographers.......I suck at taking pics and my camera is shitty.

Tuned ~21-22lbs @~ 320WTQ/305WHP. OLOA contender, Northeast autocross champion. Built as a circuit car not a drag queen. My absolute favorite import car I've ever built. I would personally take on any car around a track behind the wheel of this one. Watkins Glen, bring it on! Prototype black box unit to regulate turbo surge. Boost pressure is not controlled by the turbo wastegate, but rather by a bleed off via the Syncronic bypass valve. The bypass valve I have modified and hooked up to act as both a dump valve and "wastegate" simultaneously. This type of system is complicated and under wraps here, but in the end works out for very very quick spool and seamless throttle modulation on the track thought corners. Car will soon have a prototype 16G "component" from R247 to eliminate all Evo-prone surge and bucking and even further produce more power out of the 16G compressor at 21-22lbs(efficiency range)

Traffic flow must be heavy over on the roads surrounding your garage, huh Adam?

You had me scrambling to check what I have on the car with the list you provided - lol! Sad thing is - your list here is more up-to-date than my own web site's.

Here's some clarifications:

Beatrush rear strut tower brace
No Whiteline Bump Steer kit - the tie-rod ends were part of the Whiteline Roll-center kit (but I'll take it if you got one)
SSAC o2 housing - Jet-Hot coated
Buschur intake

2007 MoHud SCCA Street Modified class autox champ (got my rear handed to me by Mark Daddio and others that year at Devens' National Tour).

And not to defend those wheels, but those are my snow tires & wheels. I've also got 2 sets of stock Enkeis and a set of heavily road-rashed SSR Comp Type-Cs for autox. Justin's wheels FTW.

Weird to see that Evo with its bumper on.
