Apologies for the lack of posts recently, what a crazy couple of months it has been…
It all started back in early Feb when I was asked to officially represent Bozz Speed at the Hyper Challenge Time Attack with our Evo X, not only did they want my car to carry their name but they also wanted me to drive… wow what a shock !… why so shocking… well because all the cars entered into the time attack challenge at the annual Hyper Meeting are driven by Professional time attack drivers from throughout Japan… names like Yamada, Taniguchi etc would fill the entry list and for me to be included with such talented drivers was a little unbelievable.
Making the transition from owner driver competing occasionally at small events to representing one of Japan’s top Lancer tuning shops at a high profile event such as the Hyper Meeting would require not only a step up in my driving but a lot of work to do on our car in preparation, hence the lack of posts on this blog as I have been busy talking to sponsors, fitting new parts, testing testing and more testing.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to a few people that have been immensely helpful with the preparations on the car and also mental preparation for me… So a big thanks to Richard for his amazing skills and patience at re-mapping the ECU to get the absolute best performance out of the car and it’s new parts, thanks also to the guys at Greddy Japan for their dedication in developing and testing new parts for the X and for the use of their dyno so we could tune the car and thanks to Hisada-san at Bozz Speed for sharing his experience and helping me to get my head in the right place.
In addition to the above individuals I should also thank our new sponsors for their generous support…
Prodrive Japan, Bridgestone, Nukabe, Greddy, Winmax and Liqui Moly.
So enough talk, here are a few pictures showing some of the new parts on our car…
