New ings N Spec kit for Evo has a deviated septum

Saturday, December 27th, 2008


Japanese tuning house Ings has prepared a kit for the Lancer Evo X consisting of a front bumper and a Z-Power Wing. The bumper houses not only the odd-ified upper intake, it also wears new canards, brake ducts, and intercooler shrouds. The Ing site has little to say about the kit, but it looks to have been tuned on a race-tested car. If you’re keen, you can order the bumper here in either fiberglass or hybrid aero, a combination of urethane and fiberglass. It won’t be available for a few months, so you’ll have to be happy with the pics in the gallery below for now.

Mitsubishi Evolution X FQ400 coming with 405 hp

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008


Autocar snagged a handful of pics and some initial specs of the UK-only Mitsubishi Evolution X FX-400, and as suspected, the hotter Evo is a road-going version of the ADR Motorsport-prepared sedan that successfully campaigned this past September in the 24-Hour Britcar Championship.

The turbocharged 2.0-liter 4B11 will put out approximately 405 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to a new turbo, retuned ECU and center-exit exhaust. As opposed to the outgoing FQ400, the Evo X-based model won’t use a race clutch, so puttering around town should be bit more bearable, and due to the FQ400’s prodigious output, the twin-clutch SST gearbox – which can’t handle more than 331 lb.-ft. of torque – won’t be used. Despite this, expect the FQ400 to lay down 0-60 times of around 3.5 seconds, 0.6 seconds faster than the Evo X FQ360.

In addition to six-pot calipers, upgraded brakes and 18-inch wheels, the FQ400 will feature a new aero kit that includes additional cooling intakes, vents, a larger air intake in the hood and ducts cut into the side skirts to aid rear brake cooling. Production will be limited to 100 units, unless demand calls for more, but considering the price – between £45,000 and £50,000, or £14,500 more than the FQ-360 – 100 examples should just about do it.
