Awhile back, if I recall correctly the day I was leaving Japan, I messaged Kaz to see if he was around the shop; I had 30 or so minutes to spare and was in the neighborhood. Things generally get pretty quiet throughout the summer in the realm of time attack, and I was curious to see if Unlimited Works had anything cooking for this coming season.
My inclinations were correct, as Kaz led me back to their tiny engine room where Nabeshima-san was working on a new engine for the shop’s EVO 9. I was told not to give specifics, but the build will have more power than the previous setup, as well as a more efficient powerband.
Sekita was busy inside the car (literally) prepping the bay for the arrival of the new heart.
This special plate to block the trunk mounted fuel system is kind of neat. Sato was pretty stoked about it.
I know things have been pretty slow on here lately, I’ll explain why a bit later. Looking forward to this next attack season.
