The Potentcy of AMS products at Redline TA in Buttonwillow -IZ NYZE!!
With a last minute decision of my cousin wanting me to compete in Mod class with limited time, budget and modifications. AMS to the rescue.
Just want to clarify, this was not any of AMS shop cars. "AMS Evo" kinda sounds like it is, but it has never been to AMS's shop. This is my cousins car (he lives in LA). But with Martin's and Eric's help, they were able to ship out some awesome AMS pieces that my cousin could afford at the time and we had enough time to install.
And the results:
Modified AWD:
1st = Deiter Heinz - Robispec Evo - 1:56.423 (Built 2.0L and FP Green)
2nd = JC Maynet - Harmon Motive STI - 1:56.645 (Built 2.6L, 35R, Cosi Head)
3rd = Lawrence Loshak - AMS Evo - 1:58.954
The car is a 2006 EVO IX MR. It has 4500 miles on it. Stock motor, stock turbo, stock cams, stock uicp, stock......
The only mods done to the car were:
AMS lower cross brace with solid mount
AMS moustache eliminator
AMS small battery kit
AMS brake master cyl brace
AMS TBE w/ high flow cat (also ran in mod)
AMS Brake Duct kit (over 380 miles on 1 set of pads and rotors this weekend!)
AMS MBC
Other great products provided by AMS:
AIM laptimer (awesome and stupid EZ to use & hookup)
AEM Gauges (A/F, Boost)
255lph fuel pump
Car was fully gutted by me (as allowed by the rules for street) 2 nights prior the event. Tires used were 255 Kuhmo's.
As for suspension, my cousin runs variant 2 KW's and a begginer/conservative alignment. It wasnt too bad on the Mod tires, but I just couldn't get the car from understeering and overheating the front left tire with these settings. My best time in street was a low 2:03, no matter what I tried to do. I decided it was best to leave the settings be, as it wasnt my car, so I did the best I could in MOD and had a blast (except on the straights watching cars I caught in the esses just pull 5-6 car lengths on me by corner 1 - nothing a AMS turbo kit cant fix
). Special thanks to Martin, everyone at AMS and to my cousin for flying my **** out there and letting me drive his car.
Check out the results! 10th fastest car there!
