R.I.P Ultimate X

What's with it and Lancer's getting written off?

Our X has unfortunately met an untimely end with a RAV4 at about 80kmh deciding that it didn't like what Mitsubishi had done, with the rear styling of the Evo and thought it may like to help.

Turns out like most new Toyota's (FT-86 excepted) it did a crap job of it!

oh well looks like there gonna be a nice shiny Evo waiting to get tortured in the new year.

F.T.J: Fuel the JET!!!

Events Wise:

12 hour at bathurst

3 track days next year

planning on representing at auto salon

Cars Wise:

EVO VII will become more of a track weapon

EVO X versionII will start again downs it's way to becoming a force on the tarmac

RX3 will hopefully hit the road and not break anything

Hotline will get it's flares and a heart

001/300 Lib is getting a slightly special transplant

R.I.P Little Understeer Weapon!

The Green Lancer is no more! for those who were wondering why there was a 2 door drift spec Lancer keeping pace with them down front straight. it's because it was rocking a FTO 2lt V6 that was putting down a more than healthy 167 FWKW's!

Oh well onwards and upward, the owner has now planned to purchase a EVO! let the good times roll i say!

J. HART vs PHILLIP ISLAND!

Cusco Dealers

As a lot of you would have noticed in the past couple of months we have been pushing the Cusco brand be it in our own cars or our customers.

But there is logic be hide it 1) we trust the product as it is all made in Japan and their R&D team is second to none and like us it was baptised in the heat of battle (circuit racing), and 2) it has enabled us to develop a great connection with the good people at Cusco to secure our clients the best possible parts at the best possible prices.

For all your Bracing/LSD/Water Spray/Clutch/Bolt In Roll Cage/Sway Bar and almost everything else under the Sun needs please drop us a line at ultimatetunes@netspeed.com.au or call us on 6281 1821

ULTIMATE Stickers?

So I got bored, and this is the result of the boredom.

You know how we LOVE our EVO's well this is the flip side we also love to stir the pot, so for a limited time we have the stickers above on sale for $10.00 plus post if you require it.

Perfect for anything that might actually keep up and beat a Evo of any generation, please be warned that if you run one of these it's officially on like Donkey Kong.

Please note, these are the size of a CD cover, and have the image in White on high quality vinyl

EVO NATS RESULTS

So we came in 2nd in class and 3rd overall, not bad considering that we had the worlds only three wheeled Evo!

We will continue to develop the VII into a more focused track car and the X will also start down it's path to the world of time attack.

so stay tuned

EVO NATS

As we go to post, i still have no official idea of who finished where.

But our VII had a very adventurous weekend indeed, it started off very strong and was putting in great times and as Jason's confidence grew the times fell.

But as any good story has a bad bit, well this is the bad bit: As Jason was smashing through the esses coming onto the main straight..Bang! there goes the front left, it literally snapped away from the car leaving the Evo tripoded on the in field which is a credit to Jason as any lesser driver would have been left with scrap aluminium to recycle.

Our team, work through the night trying to patch the car back up for the next days events, and like every Disney story the car was back on the road the next day and put in some great performances to place in the top 3 for the day.

All in all a great weekend, special thanks to Jason for the great driving performance and well done to our crew, this is why you're the greatest.
