WELCOME TO EVOGARAGE.COM V.3!

evo garage evogarage

To kick off the New Year we bring to you a fresh look for a fresh beginning. The site sweated off a few pounds and slimmed up here and there over the holidays, giving it a cleaner and sleeker look. This makeover also enhanced the overall user interface making it easier to navigate.

Last but not least, Evo Garage would like to thank everyone for their continuing support! We will continue to provide our services to returning customers, as well as meeting new faces in 2009.

WAVETRAC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

Innovative: Patent pending Wavetrac® design automatically improves grip in low traction conditions. This feature is truly innovative and unlike any other torque biasing diff design.

Customizable: If desired, the diff’s behavior can be altered in the field to suit your needs.

Superior Materials: 9310 steel gears run in case-hardened billet steel bodies. ARP® fasteners used throughout.

Maintenance Free: As supplied new, the Wavetrac® differential will perform a lifetime of service without maintenance or rebuilds.

Limited LIFETIME Warranty: All Wavetrac® differentials include a transferable, Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Enhanced No-Load Bias Ratio via its Wave Design Center Pack: One of the known shortcomings of a typical torque biasing differential is its loss of drive (behaving much like an open diff) under zero or near-zero torque conditions (for example, when there is ‘no-load’ applied through the drivetrain, either at vehicle stationary and/or transition from engine driving vehicle to engine braking and back).

The Wavetrac® differential uses a patent pending design to improve grip in low traction conditions. Precisely engineered, converging/ diverging wave profiles are placed on one side gear and its mating preload hub. As the two side gears rotate relative to each other, each wave surface climbs the other, causing them to move apart. This imparts an increased normal force through the side gears, increasing the bias ratio as a function of load. This increase occurs automatically only when conditions find it necessary, and it ‘reverts’ back to its nominal bias ratio quickly and seamlessly, maintaining optimal drivability and performance at all times. It’s like having two differentials in one: you get the benefit of a higher bias ratio when needed without detriment to the car’s handling.

Here’s something else you won’t find in any other design: The Wavetrac® diff’s behavior can be altered in the field to suit your needs. It comes standard with carbon-fiber bias plates for the best all around performance and lifetime durability. Interchangeable plates using materials with different friction coefficients to fine-tune the bias ratio are sold separately.

These bias plates provide a mechanism to tune the response of the differential as a function of applied torque load. The applied torque load manifests itself as an axial load from the differential pinions into the housing. This axial force is then considered a normal force into the friction plate, and as a function of the effective provide a resistive torque to the rotational motion of the differential pinions. The resistive torque will add to the resistance of relative rotation of all components within the differential. The resistive force, however, is non-uniform since it is a function of the axial load from the differential pinions. The unbalance of the resistive torque will manifest as non-uniform energy absorption within the differential causing a bias ratio.

Designed from a clean sheet, the new Wavetrac® Differential brings current gear technology to the market. Internally, its gear tooth forms are optimized for strength and improved oil film retention over competitive designs. Our gear package is smaller, reducing overall mass, yet is more durable. Attention was also paid to the side gear/axle interface, putting as much material thickness as possible in this critical area – most important when power levels get high.

Each Wavetrac® Differential is crafted from the highest quality materials available. The internal gears are made from high strength 9310 alloy steel. The diff bodies are machined from case hardened steel billet. To complete the package, every Wavetrac® differential is built exclusively using high quality, high strength fasteners from ARP®, the world leader in fastener technology.

TEIN WINDING MASTER

The MONO FLEX coilover kit has been developed for entry-level competition motorsports and advanced street driving. Features include 16-way damping force adjustability (combined compression and rebound), a mono-tube internal design, pillowball upper mounts, and EDFC compatibility. There are independent adjustments for ride-height and spring pre-load settings for increased suspension tuning. The new Mono Flex also includes TEIN’s latest technological innovation, Micro Speed Valving (MSV) system, which allows the driver to feel a greater difference in damping force adjustments. Designed and developed for consumers seeking aggressive handling on the street and at the track.

Additional Features:
• Steel Construction
• Mono Tube internal construction
• Inverted design for strut type front and rear
• Ride Height adjustable via threaded body and spring seats
• 16 way adjustable dampers, compression and rebound combined
• M.S.V. Technology for improved damping force adjustability
• Pillow ball upper mounts for increased steering feel
• Upper camber adjustment on front for strut type vehicles
• EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) compatible
• Anodized brackets with Teflon coated shock body for heavy duty rust prevention

ALCON MONOBLOCK UPGRADE FROM STASIS ENGINEERING

This setup is to be fitted the MkV Golf GTI.
• ALCON 4 Piston Monobloc Calipers
• ALCON 355mm x 28mm(14") Floating Rotors
• STaSIS Brake Hats
• STaSIS Caliper Mounting Bracket & Hardware
• Goodridge Stainless Steel Braided Lines
• Motul brake fluid
• SBS Hi Performance Brake Pads

The gravity die cast Monobloc caplipers are constructed of aluminum alloy providing improved rigidity and weight savings. The increased rigidity combined with braided stainless brake lines provides a linear, confidence inspiring pedal feel.

An internal veined design aides in dissipating the thermal energy (heat) associated with repeated heavy brake use. This technology is paramount in a racing situation, and the advanced cooling helps avoid warping – which can cause instability in high-speed or emergency stops.

The unique slotted crescent design avoids degraded brake performance due to pad-gassing. In addition, the slotted crescent technology is less susceptible to the cracking associated with cross-drilled rotors.

Four months may not seem to be a long time in one’s life, but when those 4 months are spent away from home, that’s a whole different story. Thoughts of home start to cross your mind day after day, and the feeling of nostalgia becomes permanently embedded in your mind. You start to realize how the most simplest things in life are so satisfying. That’s exactly how i felt being away from home.

Tonight, i had the chance to revisit one of those simple things in life. It was the popular late night activity we often participate in. Another photo-shoot session was in order…..KTL MEDIA X THE GREEN CAR. Being optimistic, we decided to check out the new speed skating arena that is being built for the 2010 Winter Olympics. To our surprise, there was sufficient lighting. Why at night? Why not. It’s the quietest time of the day. The mind is clear and focus, creativity follows. enjoy.

EVO’S DC5 HITS UP PACIFIC

Another track day, perhaps the last event at Pacific Raceways this year. This time around only one of the two DC5s attended. Already averaging 1min45sec at the July event, David had only one objective, to break 1min40sec… Screaming in all the corners, the Yokohama ADVAN A048s could not keep up with how the DC5 wanted to perform. Averaging 1min42sec, it is obvious with the no grip factor the DC5 can do better.  But how much better? Can the 2 seconds be saved with full racing slicks? Possibly?
