MW3 Evo is prepping for NASA Nationals

mw3 — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:23:44 +0000

September 16th – 19th marks the 4th annual NASA National championships @ Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City. MW3 will hopefully have one entry in the event if the stars align and we can get sponsors to partner for this venture. Our Mitsubishi Evo IX is being prepped for what is sure to be stiff competition in Time Trials. We are optimizing the Evo for A class this year which is a very quick class and our car is well suited for this weight-to-power ratio.

E36 M3 Build

As promised, MW3 is continuing the E36 build and thought we should update you on the recent progress. First, we started to form a good relationship with PEAK Eurosport in Denver, CO www.peakeurosport.com. We’ve been looking for a shop who knows the scene, to coach and to give us good advice so that we stay on the right track. Jeff’s been working with PEAK for a couple months now and has sincerely been impressed!

UUC Corsa Exhaust

The recent upgrades all started with Jeff getting a bug after the DE event in Pueblo and ripping out the entire interior. Then, with the assistance of PEAK, we’ve added the UUC Corsa exhaust from the header back. Without any cat it surely makes the E36 sound like a full-on track car, without the interior it’s music to the ears in the cab.

The next thing is the roll cage. After some discussion, PEAK and Jeff landed on a design that meets all SCCA and NASA regs. The work has begun with the main hoop pocket being welded in. The Race Tech RT1000 seat and Schroth Profi II-6 harness also arrived this week . The work is under way and we should have the car back right before Christmas…nice Christmas gift, Jeff!

Stay tuned for more pics of the cage being built, it’s underway as we speak…

MW3 will be out at High Plains Raceway on September 18th doing some testing and lapping. HPR is located 60 miles east of Denver, CO. This will be the inaguraul run for our new E36. Come on out and join us.

Wheels for the Evo

MW3 added a new tire and wheel setup for the Mitsubishi Evo this weekend. MW3 recieved a sponsorship from wheeldude.com and got some Rota DPT 17×9 wheels to run on the Evo for this season. These are not the lightest wheel on the market, but they are not heavy by any means. They weigh in at 18lbs. each. We will be running Kumho Ecsta V700 rubber on the Evo for this season and hope to get good traction and wear out of these tires.

We are running 245/40/17s on the evo to start with the possibility of going up to 275s depending how the 245s work. The stock tire size for an Evo IX is 235/45/17. The stock wheel size is 17×8 +35 offset.
