Employee owned: EVO 9

Posted on by

This car has been in a few previous posts. It is owned by one of the staff here at TEIN USA. Originally bought brand new to be a fun daily driver / occasional track toy but soon took on a life of its own. Since we are the exclusive distributor for a variety of top brands (Carbing, Fujitsubo, Defi, SuperPro, and Takata) it was easy to build a quality car, plus employee discounts never hurt.

The exterior is comprised of Voltex bodykit and wing. Volk TE-37 18×9.5+12 with 8mm of spacers on front and rear wrapped with 275/35/18 tires.

Sitting on Super Racing coilovers with 14kg front springs and 12kg rear springs. The dampers have also been revalved with a few “special” parts to test out. Could be lower for appearance sake but this ride height works well for performance reasons.

Power is provided by Tomei ARMS turbo, Cosworth head and top end internals, plus a few HKS parts. You can find out HP/TQ and power curve in the current issue of Import Tuner magazine (July 2010) which go into detail about the Tomei Arms M7960 turbo, Cosworth 272 cams, and Okada Projects Quad Pac ignition coils. Drivetrain is comprised of Carbonetic carbon fiber clutch and carbon differentials.

Interior is filled with DEFI meters, Bride GIAS seats, Greddy boost controller, Alpine headunit, and of course dual EDFCs.

Having fun and testing at Willow Springs raceway in 2009.

Garage Sale Lists are Up

Posted on by

The Garage Sale lists are up. Each of the three companies have their own set of conditions in regards to the sale. Please read those carefully.

WWW.TEIN.COM/GARAGESALE/2010.HTML

TEIN

After compiling the TEIN list, it ended up being huge. There are lots of great deals on coilovers, lowering springs, DEFI gauges, Fujitsubo exhausts, ATI meter pods …. Come early as I am sure the popular applications will go quick. Some coilovers are marked down as much as 40% off MSRP. There is no way you can find better pricing on a NEW kit anywhere else.

CARBONETIC

For all those people looking for Clutches and LSDs from Carbonetic. A revised list of Garage Sale products will be posted Monday night which will include LSDs. The current list only shows their clutches.

A few of the TEIN cars have used the Carbonetic products and they are awesome. My personal EVO 9 has the Carbon Twin Disc, Carbon Front Differential and Carbon Rear Differential. All three have worked flawlessly for the past 3 yrs. My car is street driven on a weekly basis and sees about 5 track weekends per year. Anyone who has ever driven my car is surprised at how good the clutch pedal feel is – smooth and just a little heavier than stock.The LSDs work great and are a must for any serious car especially Drift and Circuit vehicles. Carbonetic will be selling LSDs and Clutch kits for up to 50% off. Great deals just in time for track season.

MACKIN INDUSTRIES

Everyone knows that Rays wheels are some of the best on the planet. TEIN USA has been using various model Rays wheels on our demo and track vehicles for years. They are light, strong, durable, look great and come in a WIDE variety of sizes including aggressive offsets. Mackin’s sale list contains many RE30 and CE28 models which are Forged Mono Block wheels. Listed for up to 50% off – doesn’t get any better. The exclusive US distributor for RAYS wheels is Mackin Industries who also provides ARC, Yokohama Wheels, Project Mu, Project Kics, and MXP to the US market.

Check back on this blog next Friday to see a sneak peak at the sheer volume of products for sale and a few snaps of the used items which are not listed.
