Royz Pikes Peak EVO 8 Hoonigan Build Biology The Hoonigans just did a Build Biology video feature on Roy Narvaez s EVO 8 that we built for him back in 2015 for Pikes Peak.We built the car for Roy out of James Singer s old street car that got rear ended by a girl in a Jeep putting on her makeup in the morning commute. Even though the damage in the rear was just the rear body panels and rear part of the floor, the car was declared a total loss by an idiot insurance adjuster that didn t know the difference between a Lancer and an EVO. Roy bought the shell and RRE took it from there.Roy raced the car in 2015 but that year the course got shortened due to weather. He came back in 2016 for some satisfaction to complete the full course. But that year the mountain got him instead. He was driving in practice up in the W s section and the straight road just moved and made a curve out of nowhere. You can see it in the crash video.  You can watch the in car video and the road moving out of no where just stuns poor Roy and side of the road just wrecks into the car. Weirdest thing to watch it is. He was done for that year s attempt.Back in LA Roy took it to a body shop to fix but they tole him the car was wrecked so it was unrepairable. Yes, the body shop said because the car was crashed they couldn t fix it. The frame was bent. Silly us we thought that was what body shops did, fix crashed cars. The car had too much work in it to throw it away. So Mike got out his big hammer and with some 1950 s frame pulling technology he straightened the core shell and floor and replaced the frame rail and radiator support. Some new APR bod panels and suspension and it was ready to race again  for the 2017 Pikes Peak Hill Climb.Check out the video for a closeup look at the car and some stories from Robert Garcia about the build.

Helping out with track support and expertise was Bob Faieta and Caden Loftus from Competition MotorsportsThis is the 2nd sprint race of the CFOS weekend on Sunday. Dr Alex had a strong start and was running in first place in the GTA class and 2nd place overall to the GT1 Class 996 turbo of Dwain Dement from Vision Motorsports. A late race pass by Daniel Davis in a Turbo Cup Car in the GT1 class dropped Dr Alex to 3rd overall.The final result was 3rd overall and first place in the GTA class. His best lap time of 1:39.03 in the race was his fastest lap for the three day weekend.The car is a 2013 spec 997 GT3R from Manthey Racing in Germany. It was built to campaign at Nurburgring and endurance races. This was the first race in the United States for the GT3R. Dr Alex is familiar to our Mitsubishi customers normally driving the RRE widebody EVO 6. Juha Rintanen FD Long Beach Prep and Dyno Juha Rintanen is from Finland and was in town this last week prepping his 240 SX for the first Formula Drift round here in Long Beach.They camped out for a week in a corner of the shop to do some maintenance, general cleanup and swap out the intake manifold and injectors. Here he is on the RRE Dynapack Chassis Dyno. The car has a 2JZ punched out to 3.4 liters with a Garrett GTX3582 turbo running on Thunderbolt E85 race gas.The following day they went testing at Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile:After the test day they put a new clutch in the car here at the shop and were off to Long Beach for qualifying just in time. Good luck guys! Factory Five Racing GTM Tuned by Sam @ RRE Here is a Factory  Five GTM on the Road Race Engineering Chassis Dyno being tuned by Sam icantunafish C. using HP Tuners software. The car is is built primarily for the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill race but also runs in other NASA events and some west coast endurance races as the schedule allows. It is essentially a stock LS3 small block with an open exhaust.Video is the car on track at Buttonwillow running with NASA driven by Carl Rydquist.Team: Prototype Development GroupCar: #4 Factory Five Racing GTMDriver: Carl RydquistTrack: Buttonwillow CW13The Factory Five Racing GTM is owned by Yvonne and Richard Migliori, powered by a GMPP LS3 tuned by Road Race Engineering. Tweet Sand Rail With AMG M113K Motor AEM Infinity ECU Dyno Tune Basically this is a stock Mercedes/AMG Supercharged 5.4 Liter V8 in a sand rail chassis. The headers add some additional HP along with the AEM Infinity ECU. The rail is being tuned here on the RRE Dynapack Chassis Dyno by Sam C icantunafish The motor runs on California 91 octane pump gas with the Infinity ECU controlling the 50% water and 50% methanol injection. The AEM Fail safe gauge keeps tabs on the flow rate and shuts the meth party down if the flow is out of range. If the meth nozzle is clogged of the pump is dying, then the flow will be low and the fail safe cuts in. If a meth pressure hose were to pop off or otherwise spring a leak then the fail safe would see too high a flow and shut things down also. Tweet RRE @ Mitsubishi Owner s Day 2016 Every year in July Mitsubishi Motors North America throws a huge party at their Cypress CA headquarters to celebrate and thank Mitsubishi owners from all over the West Coast. RRE has been there every year since the beginning. The event attracts about 3,000 people that start showing up to get a good spot as early as 2am. There is music, free food, raffles and every year of every Mitsubishi to look at.RRE Dyno ContestWe have time to dyno 5 or 6 cars from the time MOD gets rolling at 9am and when they start the raffle at noon. This year there were a couple big guns going for record numbers so everyone was a little shy to get on the dyno. So John Mueller put his blue EVO 8 road racing car on to get things rolling. Chris, Matt and FNG Bin were busy busting the cars on and off the dyno in the sun.For the big numbers it was between Atif tuned by English Racing and Albert tuned by Reese Tuning.  All CT9A chassis. No EVO Xs stepped up this year. We always save a spot for a good running EVO X, DSM or 3KGT.Results worked out like this:1st Place Atif Tuned by English Racing 1156 whp and 660 ft lbs of torque. The turbo was a FR SLR 72/85 on a 2.02nd Place Albert Tuned by Reese Tuning 912 whp and 693 ft lbs of torque. Turbo is a FP/Tial 67mm Super 94 on a 2.3 bottom end.3rd Place Muellerized Tuned by Sam @ RRE 470 whp and 425 ft lbs torque. Turbo is a ball bearing BBK on a 2.3 bottom end.1st place got a set of Motegi wheels, 2nd place got a set of Nitto tires, 3rd place got a Zeitronix wide band kit. Pikes Peak 2016 Jeff Denmeade EVO 8 Race Wrapup Pikes Peak 2016 Time Attack 2 Class EVO 8 driven by Australian rally driver Jeff Denmeade of Meadsports with prep and crew support by Road Race Engineering. Tuning by David Hinde of Merlin Tuning.Jeff s recap of race day:After seeing that we had a small chance to take the number 2 Viper, we knew 4th place was ours to loose, a finish was more important than a fantasy. The mountain was yet to play all it s cards, it had 10 hours left to teach some lessons.With an amazing amount of red flags that left us bewildered, with a huge amount of cars being turned around and sent back down the hill for restarts the day dragged on.Finally the gates opened for us and we were let into the start zone area, safety checked, and given the clear order, we were now under starter orders. Revs raised, launch control enabled. Great start! The best all weekend. A good start, even on a rally usually, seemingly, sets the atmosphere for the mood for the run.Concentrating on accuracy first for the lower section, quickly in 4th gear hitting all the high speed apexes, all in 4th gear. This sets the mind up for the run, accuracy first, speed second.In all the run was effortless, even faultless, but at some point it felt like the car simply ran out of air, not pulling as strong as it did in practice, no real time to fight it, just had to keep getting it to the apexes. Suddenly cars were stopped all over the course, hoods up and steam coming out, in large places there was little grip on the pavement due to heat, brake zones were harder to read with over run forcing diving into the apexes.Data later showed that the car ran out of air, due to a zone on the mountain where there was simply no humidity to cool the air going into the airbox, or radiator. The car became a barometer meter itself. The car spiked from 97 degrees Celsius, to a whopping 113 in this odd dead-zone . But the old dog hung in there.Running the same specification we ran in 2010 when we won the Time attack class, even the same turbo, the old EVO proved it can run reliably, with simple ecu updates and reflashes running constant all week.Typical of Pikes, we were entertained with a ice storm, then a hail storm at the top, leaving all of us to tip toe down a few miles on the ice with race rubber, when we were rounded up let loose to come down under a safety car. How we all made it down without someone sliding off is beyond me.Only one car didn t make up due to the storm, when the Ecoboost Mustang simply couldn t go up the hills on the ice, at some point sliding backwards down the road, deciding to park it for safety sake.End result, 4th, which was expected, and achieved, and not wasted. We drive the car up into the trailer on it s own power, lock it down, and have a post race drink in the spa.In reflection, it was an amazing year, and the team was simply the best to have around me. Mike and Matt and Bryce from Road Race Engineering in California, and our tuner David Hinde (aka Merlin) from Sydney kept the car at it s peak, and were always ahead of the curve on anything that may have happened. We ll be back.Cheers to all.JeffFinal results for Time Attack 2 Production were:1st Place Nick Robinson 2017 Acura NSX Hybrid 10:282nd Place Kevin Wesley 2016 Viper ACR 10:393rd Place Stephanie Reaves 2016 Viper ACR 10:564th Place JEff Denmeade 2003 EVO 8 11:325th Place Fumio Nutahara 2015 GT86 12:36DNF Kash Singh 2016 Ford Mustang This error message is only visible to WordPress admins Error: API requests are being delayed for this account.
