So many Evos!
Oh man you really have no idea. These guys make some of the fastest Evos and Subarus on the planet. You'll find ridiculous bling in their workshop at any point in time.

Look at this Yaris GR with the Martini livery. Martini livery = my all time favorite. Sorry i know it's not in English, but you don't need to speak the language to see how nice that looks





To put things in perspective, my mechanic is the brother of this guy that Larry Chen featured recently. Their shops are right beside each other, and they both have incredible shop (and customer) cars that you really need to see the believe.

Nice, I was a Evo guy for 20 years so they are still dear to my heart.

So cool. They have a few evo shop cars, and one of the them is Tommi Makkinen. That one just feels special.

I almost got an evo back in 2010. Ended up picking up a Subaru because i told myself i'd eventually get an evo anyway. Nope, fell in love with the STI and ended up getting 3.


Here's my last one

Yea the TME's are special for sure. Too bad we never got them in the states, although some people have imported them.

Earliest Evo that came to the states was the Evo 8.

Intake noises installed

Also filled up some ethanol. our stations don't carry ethanol here, so we just store these canisters. Will be running E30 (possibly up to E40)

Haven't been to th track since doing the sway bars, camber plates and alignment last week. But I did get to throw the car around a bit aggressively in a empty area and oof...what a difference the parts and the aggressive alignment make. Can't wait to track it


Traveling for a few days for work, so leaving the car at the shop while I'm gone while they try to get their hands on an intake manifold for me.

Some Evo eye candy at the shop for Mr Razorlab

Have quite a bit of work planned this coming week.

First of all, getting some PPF work done for the carbon fiber parts. Wing, splitter and mirror caps.

After that going to install a Wagner intake manifold. Really excited about that one.

Have some Paragon 2 piece rotors on the way

Finally also need to install the color matched carbon fiber fenders

Some really nice machines around

This Nissan Patrol has a swapped twin electric motor setup. Incredible work. There are some videos around of this beast on the sand dunes

Got these Paragon rotors on. 3.9lbs lighter per corner sounds nice
