**Ultimates JDM'FEST 09 this WEEKEND**

the event is nigh! Yep this weekend is the first ever JDM'FEST which is brought to you by Federal Tyres, Shannons Insurance and of course us.

With interest from all over Australia, and some very tuff cars set to debut new configurations and appearances, this weekend is set to equal good times. The word on the street is to get here early (around 8am) for prime positions and sorting out your registration for the dyno comp if you want to run.

All you need to bring is a little bit of cash a pineapple ($50) should cover it (dyno comp and food) and your car, as the rest of the day should literally just drift away, for those of you who want to take home the peoples choice trophy, the earlier you get in the more votes you will a mass as we will be counting votes at 1;30pm and handing out metal at 2pm. As for thr dyno comp, well not until all cars have been run will we be givng away jack, just so all competitors have a chance at glory.

If you have any questions or if you get lost please feel free to call me (shaun) on 0425 256 324

ULTIMATE 10...staying evolved!

This is the latest edition to our stable, a 2009 Mitsubishi Evolution X, at the moment the car has only received a ECUtek tune which bumped power from a impressive base figure of 164awkw to a very healthy 197awkw, with nothing more then a tune and some very spiffy pin stripping.

We have also just order a turbo back exhaust system and will be slotting in a air intake kit to aid the ten's breathing. The plan is to use this car for R&D purposes, so we can trail various other mods on this puppy, and basically know the best combination of parts to make the most reliable kilowatts per dollar so stay tuned, cause we have some big things planned...can you say GT35(yes please)

Melissa Di Carlo Leading MRA Series

That's right our very own Melissa aka Milo, is currently leading the MRA series heading into it's final round on the 25th of October.

Melissa has only started competing this season in her white EVO VII. After attending numerous track days in her tuff street tuned STi gave her the taste of circuit racing, Melissa and her partner Santino, decided to take the plunge into running a full season of competition, and decided to retire the beloved STi in favour of a EVO VII.

We are encouraging all of you to get out to Wakefield on the 25th of October to cheer on Melissa, for the final race of the season.

Black Label Turbochargers

Ultimates are the sole Australian distributor of Black Label Turbochargers, the company has been around for about 25 years operating a very successful manufacturing plant overseas, and supplying some of the biggest names in the tuning business.

Black Labels biggest point of difference is that they supply fully bolt on kit's to suit EVO's I-III, IV-IX and X, also SR20's and the EJ20 and EJ25 variants of the Subaru Boxer, at reasonable prices.

Another big difference is that Black Label aren't manufactured in China, and quality control is big on the agenda as is development and testing before product release. We have a few cars running around the Australia with these turbo's fitted and have seen some excellent results.

So if you would like to know more drop us a line on ultimatetunes@netspeed.com.au

ULTIMATES RX-3 WAGON UPDATE

Okay, so now the heat is on to get this puppy done before JDM'FEST which is only two weeks away!
