Anyone with even a passing interest in Time Attack has likely heard of Norris Designs, a UK-based tuning company probably best known for its insane north-south oriented, twin-charged, short-wheel base Evo IX time attack monster. On this episode of Tuned In, we sit down with founder Simon Norris to get some insight into this brain-melting build, plus much, much more.Use “NORRIS100” to get $100 off our HPA Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/starterbLike many of us, Simon Norris began his love affair with cars and motors early in life, pulling apart engines on the kitchen table as a child. While there was a slight detour after leaving school to study engineering, it wasn't long before Simon spied a new opportunity in the burgeoning JDM aftermarket tuning scene just as he was cutting his teeth working in a Nissan dealership in the mid-nineties. So, after seeing how others were starting to mess with tuning ECUs, Simon decided he could do better, and promptly opened Norris Designs way back in 1998.Nearly three decades later, Norris Designs is one of the biggest names in the UK tuning scene. In this conversation, we first kick into the business side of Simon's life, finding some great insight into what works and what doesn't when it comes to building a company in the motorsport industry. We next get into tuning in general, where Simon discusses different ECU options, dyno styles, and the many factors that can cause discrepancies between individual dyno runs. From there it's on to the real meat and potatoes of this episode — Simon's incredible Mitsubishi Evo IX. With its north-south-orientated billet supercharged AND turbocharged 4G63, the AWD Evo is an engineering masterpiece that absolutely tears up any race circuit it's unleashed upon. Simon does his best to answer the many questions we have about this car in an attempt to get to the bottom of what makes this shortened and roof-chopped weapon tick, and why Simon made the choices he has with this build. Even if Time Attack cars and Mitsubishis aren't your thing, this episode drops some great knowledge and is well worth a listen regardless of your chosen motorsport or what type of car you're into. Follow Norris Designs here:IG: @norris_designsFB: Norris DesignsYT: NorrisdesignsWWW: norrisdesigns.comDon't forget, you can use “NORRIS100” to get $100 off our HPA Tuning Starter Package: https://hpcdmy.co/starterbTime Stamps:3:41 How did you get into cars?8:25 Did you have much industry experience before starting your business?12:39 What sparked the interest in JDM cars?16:18 How did Norris Designs grow?25:56 Overview of Norris Designs today31:12 What does your day-to-day look like at Norris Designs?38:36 What vehicles are you specialising in?42:54 How did you learn to tune?52:44 Are you relying on knock control and close loop fuel control?57:35 Did you start with an engine dyno or rolling road?1:01:17 Do you have fixtures and harnesses for quick and easy engine dyno setups?1:02:27 How accurate is the engine dyno?1:10:23 Repeatability issues with rolling road1:14:16 ECU of choice?1:20:20 What is a short wheelbase Evo 9?1:24:33 Engine package1:34:45 Billet blocks for street applications?1:38:41 Twin charge setup1:44:24 Transmission1:50:39 What's next in the development of the car?1:52:33 Lap time difference with new aero package

If you have been into the Mitsubishi community for more than a day you know who Miguel DSM is. He shares his inspirational story that brought him and Mitsubishis together so many years ago. We start off by talking about his 2g DSM that many people know him for. He tells us about the insane 4G63 swap that punched a hole right through the norms in the DSM world. Miguel talks about what the 2g was like when he bought it and the future for the car. Next we go over Miguel's immaculate Evo; he goes over the motivation for buying it in the first place. He goes through its current revamp and the big future plans that he has for it. We also cover his 3000GT build, his wrap job turned this diamond in the rough to a truly beautiful ride. We talk about the plans for the future with this build and his motivation to keep this thing on the road. Lastly we talk about Miguel's experience with the Mitsubishi community overall and his local, SoCal Mitsubishi community. For the small few who don't already follow Miguel, he drops his social media accounts and gives thanks to all of those who have helped him along the way.

More engine capacity, bigger turbos, wider rubber. As enthusiasts, we're almost hard-wired to want more of everything. In the motorsport world, however, bigger often isn't better and it sometimes takes experience — often gained through painful lessons — to properly understand that and to build a car right. No one knows this better than this week's guest, Jimmy Assaad of Evolution Racing Supplies.Use “ERS100” to get $100 OFF our HPA Track Day Package here: hpcdmy.co/trackdaybJimmy started off his automotive life like many Sydney kids of the era — with a love for Mazda rotaries. That all changed the day he lined up for a friendly race with a mate that owned a Mitsubishi Evo. After seeing what that platform could do against the RX-7 he owned at the time, Jimmy pivoted away from rotary life and dove headfirst into the world of fast Mitsubishis. From that point on, he's built a string of rapid Evos, running quick times at the dragstrip before deciding to try his hand at circuit racing by building a monster Evo VI RS, set up to take on the fiercely-contested Clubsprint class at World Time Attack Challenge. In this episode, Jimmy breaks down his championship-winning Evo, discussing the lessons learnt in the car's development, as well as his decision to change up the build with a less-is-more ethos as the main driving force. Besides building rapid Mitsubishis, Jimmy also decided to leave his profession as a plumber nearly a decade ago in order to turn his passion into a living, starting Evolution Racing Supplies. What started as a side hustle finding and dismantling Evos for resale to like-minded people has become a thriving business that employs numerous staff wrecking a range of different performance vehicles, as well as full workshop services and aftermarket parts sales. Jimmy is able to provide a really interesting look into the high-performance vehicle dismantling business — something that we've never really discussed on this podcast before. There are plenty of great chats in this episode about all things Evo, covering all generations as well as all the great Mitsubishi acronyms — MIVEC, ACD, S-AYC — and much, much more.

For many, the Ineos Grenadier is a callback to the Defender of old. But can it live up to Defender's iconic history? This week, we are joined by Mercedes Lilienthal of Crankshaft Culture. An automotive journalist who has been published by Forbes, NY Times, Tread Magazine, and countless other publications, Mercedes knows her stuff when it comes to cars. She had the opportunity to drive the Ineos Grenadier on two separate occasions, and has a lot to say about its place in the market, its impressive off roading features, and its capabilities. We dive in deep to talk about her experience driving with Ineos on Isle of Skye in Scotland with the production models last month, and whether the Ineos has a shot at being a Defender/Jeep/Bronco competitor. Check out our Patreon for a special bonus episode with Mercedes and Andy Lilienthal, as they dive in to their passion for Mitsubishis (specifically Pajeros)!

He shares his reasoning to keep the stock block intact and to push it to where he has. He talks about his “parts car” Ralliart and why he is pushing it as hard as he has, making some of the quickest 60ft times on the Ralliart list. He talks about the future of both cars and what events you can see him in action in 2023. Finally Lucian gives his thanks to those who have helped him along the way.

My first World Cup Final experience is in the books and I had an absolute blast! I had the privilege to sit down with John Redden from Haltech (The main sponsor of the event) to go over this years event. Get our take on it and we talk about next year's event, including what to expect, ticket sales dates, parking and certainly the Mitsubishis we might see next year.

Stella thinks one of her two Mitsubishis is possessed of a sinister mechanical nature. It is constantly breaking down and wearing out parts, unlike it's twin. Sound familiar? Our two hosts are each similarly convinced that the other is a sinister and malevolent force trying to drive him crazy. Is there any chance of saving Stella's 'good' Mitsubishi here? Find out on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.

Mark is doing something very few others are doing currently, pushing a manual 1g to some very serious numbers. He gives us the run down on his setup and his off season upgrades to get ever closer to that infamous 7 second mark. He tells us why he chose the 1g and the legend who got him into DSMs. Mark talks about his short and long term goals with his 1g and the status of some of his other Mitsubishis and how they tie into his passion. Finally he talks about the events he wants to attend with his 1g to get back out there.

Tony's 1g is an absolute unit and it is powered by some serious passion for Mitsubishis. Tony gives us the details and reasoning behind his build. Tony provides some insight on what it took to get his 1g into the 9s and then into the 8s. We talk about what it is that keeps Tony pushing the car and his goals for the future.

#179 – Welches französische Auto ist 5,08 Meter lang, hat drei Sitzreihen und kann laut Stefan mal ziemlich konkret werden? Ok, das ist schon ne ziemlich wilde Nummer. Aber wenn man im Online-Konfigurator gefangen ist, ist man eben im Online-Konfigurator gefangen. Wir müssen Stefan da rausholen! Eine Strategie, die verfängt: Einfach nicht mehr von französischen sondern von japanischen Automarken (Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi) sprechen und eventuell auch mal eine italienische Neuheit (Maserati Grecale) erwähnen.

Our guest Liam tells us about his unique collection of British motor vehicles and a Mopar econobox; British car jokes abound.The gang tries to remember which Mitsubishis are Dodges, which other Mitsubishi is a Chrysler and which Chrysler Corp.'s cars are amalgamations of parts from yet other manufacturers. Apparently, if you know more about this than Mickey, you might get a free meal? Dave beguiles us with details of art and zeitgeist at MOMA's automotive exhibit last fall. Our automotive trivia question takes us to the General Motors origin story and how it has become a major franchise.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Monday 25th June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   TESLA EMPLOYEE TWEETS ABOUT PRODUCTION RATES Elon Musk tweets about Tesla's production rates, the challenges, the successes. Dave from accounts does NOT. Linda from HR does NOT. John from the Gigafactory does NOT. Except, John Totah did exactly that yesterday. John Totah is the Lead Material Flow for Model 3 at Gigafactory 1 and a Twitter account using his name, so we're assuming it is really him, make some bold claims before they were swiftly deleted. John said: "Our original goal was 2,500/wk and we didn't hit it. Now we just hit 5,000/wk throughput in June. Insanely hard work by @Tesla team." If you didn't know that’s exactly the kind of language and tweet we would get from Elon. You know, the CEO. One of a handful of people on the planet who can comment publicly on Tesla. And not just because they're being precious but because the Q2 production and deliveries, whether batteries or completed cars, is potentially the most important announcement in the history of the company. This is the last week of the quarter. On the bright side that's a doubling in two months so understandably he's proud. He even had time to send a follow up, before he found the delete button: "We want to sustain over 5k/wk since current capacity of the lines are built for a max 6k/wk. It was incredibly difficult to hit 2500 in March. We revised many processes and built new systems that worked better. Incredible work and brain power." As you may have heard before on the podcast, when I was talking about the production lines heading from Tesla Grohmann Engineering in Germany to Nevada, to fix one of the four zones, that was when Elon replied directly to me to confirm it. Super exciting, so we knew they had a shutdown to speed up Gigafactory. And once JB Straubel was tasked with sorting out Zone 4 at Giga, and it would amazing new if true before batteries were a bottleneck at one point. He wasn't clear on his tweet whether the throughput was specifically about his area of responsibility, or overall Model 3 production rates at Giga. And remember none of this means Freemont is on target for 5,000 Model 3's week. The twitter account has now been protected. The news was reported on Reddit, Electrek etc, so I feel it can be reported on.   ANOTHER TESLA INTERIOR UPDATE InternetDude: "So I finally got my 2018 Tesla Model S P100D. I ordered it with cream interior but it was supposed to have figured ash dark wood. Tesla made a production change just about 10 days after I ordered and changed almost all of the aluminium accents to dark graphite colour instead. They also changed to the wood to a natural oak decor finish, more like the Model 3."   MAD MAX MODE FOR AUTOPILOT LANE CHANGE Elon has tweeted a picture of the centre display with the car running in 'development mode'. Within Feature Settings you can now enable Mad Max mode in the 'Blind Spot Threshold'. He also joked: "We considered going beyond Mad Max to “LA Freeway” level, but that’s too loco". It follows his retweeting of an old post from 2017 from a twitter user which photoshopped a Tesla Semi into a Mad Max type future. The current options you can see in Dev Mode are Standard, Aggressive and Mad Max. He also talked about how a self-driving car is programmed to yield in the event of a conflict: "It’s a tough call. Reality is that it will be pretty easy to bully a self-driving car, as it will always yield. Will prob have a manual override that requires continuous press for hardcore lane changes." Surely this will be part of Version 9 software coming this Autumn with self-driving features. So whereas currently you initiate a lane change with the blinker, it's your call to ensure the road is clear, this is a hint towards more autonomy. The other options you can see now are “Follow Nav,” “Blinker to Fork,” “Enable ULC,” and “Vision Stops."   CAR MAGAZINE - MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV REVIEW: A STRONG CASE FOR HYBRIDS CAR Magazine UK: "we headed out to Provence, France, for a spin to see how the changes stack up. This engine revision plus work on the battery – which gets 10% more power output and total capacity of 13.8kWh thanks to new cells and better management - has allowed Mitsubishi to recalculate maximum electric range, fuel economy and CO2 emissions for new-age, more realistic WLTP testing, and the results are more impressive for that reason. We’re talking 30 miles on electric power, 141mpg and 46g/km. You’re also able to drive faster on electric power – now 84 rather than 78mph. ts PHEV tech is so effective, in fact, that it’s set to be rolled out to larger Renault and Nissan models in the coming years as that new alliance comes to fruition. In return, pure EV bits from the Leaf will go the other way and be used on smaller Mitsubishis."   https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/mitsubishi/outlander-phev/   FIRST 350KW CHARGER OPENS IN GERMANY Fastned are a charging network here in Europe with 73 stations in and they just posted a Twitter video of their first station opening in Germany. That's the first of 18 in Germany this year but goal is in the hundreds. They say it's in the A3 at Limburg an der Lahn and if you have a car which can take advantage of slightly faster speeds like a Hyundai IONIQ or Jaguar I-PACE you'll be pleased to hear they're 350 kW DC chargers. The charging station is covered in solar panels too, and all of the energy they source is renewable. Bart Lubbers is the co-founder of Fastned and said: "In the next few years, German car manufacturers such as Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes will introduce fully electric models that can charge at high power. This is a great challenge and opportunity for the automotive industry and charging companies like Fastned.” We heard recently Fastned also have plans for the UK and Belgium.   ITALY AIMS TO PASS NORWAY AS EUROPE'S NO. 1 EV MARKET Bloomberg broke the news yesterday: "The populist government in Italy, Europe’s most sluggish market for electric cars, has a big-bang plan to put 1 million of the vehicles on the nation’s roads. Getting anywhere near that target could cost the state $10 billion in incentives." com: "Italy’s new populist government has a plan to put 1 million electric vehicles on the nation's roads by 2022 in an effort to go from being the region's weakest EV market to replacing Norway as its strongest. Italians last year bought just some 2,600 full-electric cars, out of a total of about 2 million vehicles sold, and the number rises only to around 4,800 if plug-in hybrid models are included, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association. Fewer than 5,000 full-electric models are estimated to be on the country's roads today. And that's the problem, critics say. To go from being an EV backwater to Europe's biggest market, the Italian government would need to roll out incentives at least at the level of Norway's, which could cost several billion euros, analysts say. Even that might not be enough."   JAGUAR LAND ROVER'S £13.5BN INVESTMENT Times Of India report: "Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover has lined up investment worth 13.5 billion pounds in the next three years on new models, technology development and capacity addition. The investments will be on new models, technology, capacity with significant amount of it on electrification and on a new platform" JLR said: "Our roll out to MLA will be fully complete by 2025, at which point every product can cater for an ICE (internal combustion engine), BEV (battery electric vehicle) or PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) derivative."   NEW PEUGEOT 308 PHEV COMING IN GTI FORM French motoring site Caradisiac says the next gen Peugeot 308, which you'll be able to buy in 2020, will rely on electric power for GT and GTi status. The GT model most likely to couple up a gas engine with electric motor both driving 220 hp to the front wheels. Whilst the GTi will add an electric motor to the rear axle for AWD and 300hp.   ELECTRA MECCANICA CONTINUES COMPLIANCE TESTING FOR SOLO EV The SOLO is priced at $15,500 USD, and interested consumers can place a fully-refundable $250 deposit by visiting EMVauto.com.

Well it finally happened, we messed up the episode number and it wasn't Brad's fault. Andrew wrote the wrong number down. Anyway, Josh (IncorporatedX) co-owner of Adventure Driven Design stopped by to talk about old Mitsubishis, adventures and his company. Please Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and Google Music.Comments, Questions, complaints; email us at autoofftopic@gmail.comThis podcast is brought to you by Vintage Imports of New England http://vintageimportsne.com/"Z/28" by Z/28 is our title music.

Avsnitt 65: I det här avsnittet av Vi Bilägares podcast pratar vi om hur Audi går på knock i A5 cab, Mitsubishis kvalitetshöjning i Eclipse Cross och att det sitter svenskt stål i nästan varje ny bil. Plus anekdoter om rasande motorvägsresenärer.

Brad and Andrew both have head colds this week so excuse our voices and coughs. Our friend Jeremy of HotRodCoffeeShop.com stopped by the AOT bunker for a little chat. We learned about Jeremy's six-fo and how it helped him learn to weld and fabricate. Don't worry folks, we find a way to bring it back to Mitsubishis. Please Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.Comments, Questions, complaints; email us at autoofftopic@gmail.comThis podcast is brought to you by Vintage Imports of New England http://vintageimportsne.com/Keep your cars analog!

The 4th episode of Crank Journal is all about crashes: esteemed guest Adam Barrera's training for his new job as an EMT and first responder to crash sites, trying to save this episode after Michael's computer crashed, and Michael's crashing and burning as he does a dreadful job of using another meme to try to explain James' absence. Adam talks about his Isuzu Impulse RS, both talk about Mitsubishis and their favorite Obscure Cars for Sale picks of the week, and there's some stuff about die-cast models in there, too.

This is the first episode of the Auto Off Topic podcast, Brad and Andrew introduce themselves and confess their love for Mitsubishi products. Sorry, not sorry. Brad has too many Dodge branded Mitsubishis and Andrew might have a world record for longest ownership of a 1st gen DSM. Brad talks about Japanese car day at the Larz Anderson auto museum in Brookline Ma, and Andrew talks about visiting the Petersen Automotive Museum while in L.A. Otherwise this is the first episode so excuse the car wreck that it probably is.This episode brought to you by http://vintageimportsne.com/Questions or comments; email us at autoofftopic@gmail.com 

Pricecast for 10/02/15This week, a Price contestant fails to grasp the “$1″ concept (but aw, he’s pretty), and a waffle maker that may be the greatest kitchen appliance ever. Also: Geoff joins Matt, Troy, and Brian to dish on Audis and Mitsubishis, oh my.

Part two of update 1.1. We pick up the tempo on this disc, but it’s not all banging stompers as there are a few blissed-out moments courtesy of Chicane and Way Out West. And I still love the deep phat ‘Huff and Puff’ track. With appearances from the likes of BT and Paul van Dyke, alongside tracks from BBE and Natural Born Grooves, you can see how this pumped-up yet euphoric sound was a precursor to the 1999 trance explosion (with a little help from Mitsubishis...). Those latter two tracks remind me of a Manchester Mardi Gras when Key 103 sponsored an event at GMEX - a particularly messy evening! Favourite of favourites here though is the closing Moonman tune.
