Show Notes
Raif Fejzo from RRT Motorsports joins the show to talk about building the fastest Mitsubishi Evos in the world. We dive into how DSMs got him hooked on turbo cars, the journey from working out of a home garage to running a full shop, and what it really takes to build a 7-second Evo. Raif also breaks down Evo engine programs, MoTeC tuning, and the constant race to push the platform even faster.
