With the +25 offset, the front wheels were just a touch sunk in for Ray’s liking, so some Ichiba 5mm spacers were installed to give the flush look that was desired. Ray decided to go with a lipped wheel to make his car stand out even more from more conventionally modded Evolutions.
The wheels are painted gold giving the classic JDM white and gold color combination. All of this rides on a set of 19”x 10.5” Advan RG-Ds with a +25 offset shod on Hankook 275/30/19 V12 Evo tires. A roll center alignment kit from Whiteline keeps Ray’s steering geometry leveled with the slammed height. Giving the car its aggressive look and ability to slice corners with surgical precision are Stance GR+ 2-way coilovers, and Cusco front and rear strut bars. The trip to pick the part up the shop was one that would entirely alter his plans for the Evo. While searching the EvolutionM forum, Ray found a local company that had a Greddy Spectrum Elite exhaust in stock and for the best price. To start out his modding bug, he went in search of the EvolutionM forum to find a vendor that’ll help replace his loud exhaust with something more subtle. But Ray wanted to be the first on top of everything that’ll showcase the possibilities with the X. With such a new Evo platform (CZ4A) chassis and a new all aluminum block engine, (4B11T) new parts are being developed at a snail’s pace.

Ray realized that if he were to do this right, the car has to be tame yet exciting and visually impactful for the community of X drivers that he was now situated in. While he admits he got compliments for sounding badass, it wasn’t what Ray desired.

Unfortunately, instead of a slight noise increase, Ray got what sounded like a full race exhaust bombing down the street. With the desire to gain some extra power and small increase in sound, an HKS Hi Power catback exhaust system was installed. Once the car was paid off, what little money he had left was spent on an aftermarket exhaust system. The first goal with the new Evo was to pay it off as soon as possible, and with most of his extra income going towards that, it left little for modifications. Within a month of graduating in May 2008 he was the proud owner of his showroom fresh dream. They say that good things come to those who wait and with the introduction of the tenth variation of the Evolution, Ray found the car he had been dreaming about. In 2007, while trying to decide what car to purchase after graduating college, he briefly toyed with the idea of jumping from the Mitsubishi camp to the new WRX STi, but again the styling was off putting. Sadly, along with the different performance changes, the styling changed as well and the Evo VIII was not to Ray’s liking. But as with most automotive enthusiasts, he had to wait for three grueling generations before Mitsubishi saw fit to bless the United States with the Evolution’s presence.

The Evo became an object of forbidden desire for Ray after seeing the movie Legend of Speed in the late 90’s where an Evo 5 was the highlight of the movie. Today’s lesson in physics is provided to us by Raymond Leung, the owner of this 2008 Wicked White X. Most people who are interested in a manufacturer’s souped up model care less about how much power the car makes when it comes off the show room floor, but rather how much potential the motor has. The fire breathing cousin that is the Evolution X however, eats the road with 291hp and 300 lb*ft of torque to all four wheels. In the current generation, a base Lancer makes 148hp from a 2.0L motor. Nearly all automotive makers have done this at some point, but few have had garnered the world wide love and devotion of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution. The Pontiac GTO is a prime example of this. However, as seen in cars of the 1960s it works just as well to take a small car and shove the biggest motor available under the hood, and boom! You have a performance model. Automotive companies usually use weight reduction in addition increasing power to go racing. So in order to increase the acceleration of an object, such as an automobile, you need to either increase the force from the motor or reduce its mass or you can select to do both. It’s the most basic formula in physics, and with a little rearranging, you can determine the acceleration of an object by dividing applied forces by the object’s mass, resulting in a=F/m.
