WORKS TUNES DRIFT EMPORIUM S15 SILVIA WITH TITAN V8
Drift Emporium is up at Infineon Raceway this week for a Formula D event that is supporting the IRL weekend. They brought one of their baddest toys over to WORKS for a dyno tuning session before the event kicks off. The Drift Emporium S15 Silvia is powered by a Nissan Titan V8 that has been worked over and tweaked with some cool modifications including individual throttle bodies topped off with K&N stack Filters. The car sounds like a monster and spins the tires with ease. We hope to have video up shortly, but for now here are a few pictures:

July 11th-12th WORKS spent the weekend in Las Vegas participating in the BF Goodrich KDW Challenge. We brought out two of our vehicles--the WORKS EVO X time attack car and the WORKS Lancer Ralliart rally car--and were able to give some lucky particpants a thrill ride on the track. WORKS driver's Dave Brown and Lars Wolfe were on hand to provide the tire screaching action. Both WORKS vehicles performed amazingly in the scorching 110 degree desert heat and big smiles were had by both passengers and drivers. Special thanks to BF Goodrich, HotBits, AST and Autopower for making this a successful event for WORKS.
WORKS EVO X Gets Seibon Carbon Fiber Treatment
The truck arrived yesterday with a special shipment direct from our new partner Seibon. The techs went straight to work installing the Seibon Carbon Fiber front and rear doors, 10mm wide front fenders, hood, front lip and rear wing.With all the carbon parts fitted to the car we estimate a weight savings of 300-400 lbs. On top of that we think the car looks fantastic. A big thank you to the folks at Seibon for making this happen. We also want to thank Autopower for sending over a custom made bolt-in roll cage in time for us to make the BF Goodrich event. Now we are off to the KDW Challenge!
Have Fun at MOD!
WORKS will regretfully be unable to attend this years MOD festivities. We will instead be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway all weekend taking part in a national advertising campaign for BF Goodrich with our WORKS EVO X road race car and our WORKS Lancer Ralliart rally car.We will do our best to represent the Mitsubishi brand well and will certainly miss being a part of the MOD celebration.We hope everyone has a great time at MOD and look forward to returning to the event next year.
On July 12th, WORKS will be showcasing some amazing driving skills in BF Goodrich's KDW Challenge. Make sure to tune in to live feeds of passengers given the ride of their life in WORKS' new Lancer Ralliart built for Rally America as well as it's Time Attack Evo X.

On the verge of finishing its first Rally America event the WORKS Mitsubishi Evolution IX suffered a catastrophic rollover.
Sonoma, California – April 29, 2009 – Competing in their first Rally America event WORKS looked strong in practice with their Rally prepped EVO IX. The driver/co-driver team of Lars Wolfe and Michel Hoche-Mong got faster with each stage, while the WORKS Mitsubishi continued to give strong reliable performance. Toward the end of the event the WORKS team looked poised for a strong finish in the Super Production class. Known for being a particularly treacherous event the Olympus rally claimed another victim on the second to last stage. While attacking Stage 15 out of 16, the WORKS Mitsubishi caught an edge went into a spectacular roll. Both Wolfe and Hoche-Mong emerged from the car with hardly a scratch, but the rollover forced the car to retire from the event. The WORKS team is currently working around the clock to repair the damages in time for the upcoming Oregon Trail Rally in Portland, Oregon from May 15th -17th.
