Mistubishi EVO vs 370Z

travisjb · 08-08-2009, 10:58 PM

wow! just noticed this thread... at first I thought it was a journal for a dude investing in his 370z... now i see it is a p'ing match on whether srm sucks and evo vs 370... two arguments that will rage on for eternity! hope that OP is okay with us p'ing on his journal! guess he deserves it some for picking that name!!!

so, back on topic... evo_killer, nice job so far with the mods! what are you planning next??? if you're headed for the track, going to need to work on the brakes

How dare you try to bring sensibility and sanity to this thread sir. Kidding, kidding. Good job.

thanks... not trying to lecture, some insightful points being made and I love learning about the evo... and ryan's car is BAD-***!... but also want to know about lance's build!

Yes...

AP Racing Big Brake Kit Installed!

Since your car is new, you should be able to find a G37 or non-sport buyer for your existing akebonos, which helps offset the price of this kit. Alternative is to spend a little less money and try to mix and match parts from different vendors, e.g., COZ may soon be selling 2-piece light weight slotted rotors that go with the sport package. And of course if you go that route, you'll need upgraded pads, fluid and probably need to add ducting if you're going to track the car. The AP Racing brakes I have don't seem to need any ducting, but I'll prob do that anyways.

out of curiosity, why the grounding kit? understood that to be more of an automatic transmission thing

EVO_Killer · 08-09-2009, 11:01 AM

why not....
Looks cool...
Can't hurt....

And I was high on T3's when I ordered all that stuff....

EVO Killer,

Do you have any images of the Magden computer and how you installed it in your car?

cagneymc@yaho · 08-09-2009, 09:39 PM

i just sold my 06 MR to a guy in winnepeg actually. I live in Savannah, Georgia. I was running 11.5xx at the track. Stock turbo, stock block, stock head, stock ecu. All i had was TBE, cams, intake, and meth. Made 423 awhp and 426 torqe. I miss her. But had to get my priorities straight for a while.

Awesome. Are you thinking of a DIY?

I'm curious as to where you will be putting the box and how you route the wires for a nice clean install.

EVO_Killer · 08-10-2009, 08:12 AM

Yep DIY...

Steven at Amplified said both the HKS coil overs and the Magden computer are pretty easy installs. So to try and save a few bucks (for more toys) I'll give them a whirl. (Helps that I work at a dealership and can use a lift)

Pics and write up to follow.

I'm glad someone else replied for me, cause I just couldn't respond anymore. Lol.
