  • This was supposed to be a "modifying the Evo" video but instead it ballooned into a Gridlife video also. We try Fortune Auto Pro 2-Ways on the Evo and go compete in Street Class. Jampacked.

Not being directed by my commenters, just saying I received a bunch of undeserved praise.

      Unfortunately the only way to abuse rules like this is to spend an insane amount of money to make a statement at which point they accept your theory change the rules and now your car is illegal and all the money you spent is wasted.

      That is what racing is about. It is playing the rule book is have an advantage and be competitive. Loopholes anyone can do so long as they are smart enough
      When multiple teams find ways to interpret rules is when the fun begins
      Ken Miles, Carol Shelby, Sterling Moss, Richard Petty are all known greats who found ways to go faster and make history being innovative within the rule book!
      Though it does suck that grassroots racing requires a lot of money to get involved in pushing most people out, and the rules are what dictates that

    I was completely against 2-ways as well, and even went so far as to taunt Abe and Adam with jumping straight into 2-way remotes, at which point I was told remotes would not be allowed. Well, the rules changed, and the written rules said nothing about remotes, so now here we are, a year later, with $7000 (retail) MCS 2WR competition dampers on my car. For whatever reason they just can't leave this class alone. Oh, wait, it's us. We're why they can't leave it alone.

    For the EVO understering you need an unbalanced set-up.. Basically, make the rear stiffer than the front with a bigger swaybar.. The car will be more tail happy making you turn in easier & faster and since you have the AWD system, let it do the rest.

    Good stuff.....you did very well with what you were working with......I think you could have gone a bit quicker in the wet with a slightly different approach....maybe you could try gravel mode on the center dif, and switch up the driving to suit...slower and steadier on corner entry,,and driving out of the corners harder...the sideways stuff cost you first place

    After all those laps in mr2. Seeing the rain on the track i was sure you got it. Sadly setup came in and u cant blame physics but look at the hand movement! It is a huge improvement on overall handling the sliding sketchy machine! Mr2 sure was a "racing program technique" :D

    16:01 to the homie Luca, unless you have ensured that your undershirt (the green Under Armor) is fire retardant, you may want to reconsider wearing that under your track suit. Just some advice from a GWOT veteran who knows some guys who learned that lesson the REALLY hard way.
