What is WORKS? WORKS is an automotive engineering, tuning, and racing organization dedicated to enhancing modern sports cars.
Our passion for motorsports and vintage cars includes rallying which was the inspiration for starting a Mitsubishi specific tuning company when the Lancer Evolution was announced to arrive. Brought to you by EVO enthusiasts
for EVO enthusiasts, we were the very first EVO tuner in the U.S.
beginning development in 2002 with an EVO VII GSR. WORKS is comprised
of a dedicated group of Engineers with over 30 years of combined
technical expertise in the
automotive performance industry. In fact, we are the only Mitsubishi
tuner and manufacturer in the U.S. with Engineers on staff. All of
our attention and all of our
focus is dedicated to one make and a common passion for sports cars.
WORKS Philosophy
When developing products, we spend countless hours on the road, at the dyno, on the racetrack, in
the dirt, and in the lab ensuring that each and every product we offer
performs up to our own rigorous expectations. We use all of the WORKS products we design on our own cars.
Which explains why WORKS'
line of high performance products are designed 100% in-house. The first
step in our Engineering process always takes into account the original
OEM design. Why they did it and how they did it. Can it be
improved upon? Mitsubishi Motors has resources beyond any aftermarket
tuner and our goal before improving any product is to understand the
original first. OEM fitment and quality is rarely surpassed. Reverse
engineering and re-engineering can only be accomplished by competent Engineers. Our motto is "OEM or better".
We
design our products with state of the art technology and will spend the
kind of time and money engineering a single product that
would send the accountants at most large tuning houses into tantrums.
As an example, no other tuning company would go to the lengths of using
a $300,000 Cyrax laser scanner to design products that will sell for
less than $100 a piece - yet that is exactly what we did in designing
our forthcoming line of components for the EVO. WORKS will take
the time to go through countless hours testing different designs and
materials until we find the combination that gives us the results we
expect.
WORKS products produce documented power with our in-house chassis dynamometer and create world-class handling vehicles with our in-house shock dynamometer and laser alignment rack.
We also utilize 3-D solid modeling CAD workstations and
have automotive experience with thermodynamics, fluids, and finite
element analysis to engineer products quickly, accurately, and
effectively.
WORKS' innovation is why we were the very first and only company to offer a flash for the factory
ECU in the Spring of 2003 which is now copied by many in the industry. This is the backbone for our entire line of
engine performance products. Whether fitting a free-flowing WORKS "Exhale" exhaust, "Aperture" port-matched throttle body, or "Power Cams", each product comes with its own ECU flash optimized to extract the maximum reliable performance from
the modification. For customers buying multiple products or WORKS Performance Packages at once, the
ECU flash is optimized for how the products work together.
WORKS is also unique in being the first and only tuner to offer a
truly comprehensive line of products specifically for the EVO from the ground
up, literally. Each of which integrates with the other components
offered in our product line. Whether you buy one WORKS performance part
or the entire product line, each and every part is designed to
compliment the others. We offer a complete line of performance products
to enhance the overall balance of the EVO which means you can come to
WORKS to not only tune your engine for better performance, but also to
enhance the suspension, chassis, and braking system. We don't just
settle for making your EVO accelerate faster but also make your EVO
corner harder and stop quicker without sacrificing drivability and
reliability.
Warranty
Concerned about maintaining your factory warranty and being able to
bring your car quickly and easily back to stock? WORKS is too. Our
products are undetectable and/or fully reversible while integrating with the
factory design and mounting locations. For example, each piece in our modular
"Exhale" exhaust series is a direct replacement of the factory exhaust
components and can be swapped one-for-one for that trip back to the
dealer or when you sell your car. More importantly WORKS offers an industry leading Factory-Matched Warranty, trusted by Mitsubishi dealerships across the country. In fact, a designer at Mitsubishi headquarters stated: "...I just want to commend you on the quality of your parts. I don't have a whole heck of a lot on my car as I'm very picky and my budget is sometimes restrictive, but I really appreciate the attention to detail and quality of construction you put into your products. Just thought I'd share a quick word of thanks and feedback. There are a ton of choices in what I can install on my Evo, but I have the utmost confidence in WORKS parts. Thanks for producing excellent parts and service."

specialized
