PARTING WITH A COUPLE RALLY LEGENDS

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I
Lancia Delta Integrale Evo I Martini 5 Special Edition

It may be a good while before we see four Evos together under one roof again, at least in North America. Two of the Integrales will be leaving for German soil this coming week. One of which is the Evo I Martini 5 Special Edition, only four-hundred were ever built. Released in 1992 to commemorate Lancia for their fifth World Rally Championship title. This model had the original Martini 5 motif updated with that of the Martini 6, the larger 17 inch Speedline Montecarlo wheels were also fitted along with a Group-B exhaust system.

The second car is also an Evo I. Though not of Special Edition class, it is still a gem.

You may have noticed by now we love our brakes here at Evo Garage. Although the Evo already had Brembo 4-pots from factory, as previously stated, they just weren’t cutting it. At the moment it’s quite hard to see the custom brake setup with these Speedline Monte Carlos, once the skies start clearing up the Speedline Champions will be making an appearance.

For the record, this was the one and only Lancia Hyena in the whole of North America. It is now being shipped half way around the world to it’s new home. This Zagato designed Lancia for most of you may be blank stare followed by a question mark. Like it or not, it was a total privilege to have experienced one of these first hand.

AP RACING FOR THE INTEGRALE EVO

What to you do when you feel you’re brakes aren’t performing to where you would like them to be. Go in the direction of what professionals would use, go above and beyond. Don’t at any point ask yourself “Do I really need this?” Chances are you don’t. BUT rest assured whatever it is you are dealing with will no longer be a problem.

This custom setup tailored to the Integrale Evo was derived from said solution. Having changed rotors and pads TWICE with no significant results, because saving money at the time felt like a great idea, one had to stop and ask. “WHY!?” To be annoyed, angered, stressed, having wasted time by an object just seemed unnecessary. We are reminded of a famous quote at this time “It is expected when playing with cars.” So just get it done right the first time.

The superior suspension setup consisting of Koni Yellows with Eibach springs were taken out of the Integrale Evo a couple nights ago, from the car to it’s final resting place, the trash bin. For it’s replacement the Evo was given a brand new set of custom made 24-way adjustable bound and rebound Leda coilovers paired to some Eibach springs.

Because spending money on expensive pretty lug nuts are a must, extended studs were installed to the front and rear hubs, replacing the traditional European concept of using wheel bolts.

BRAKING SYSTEM CLEANED UP

Shortly after the Evo arrived, there was always this question of why does this car not stop as it should. Last night the calipers were taken apart for a deep clean and service, not so surprised to see one of the rears were seized, luckily it was able to be saved. The lack of braking performance was also caused by three of the four lines being semi to completely clogged, luckily there was already a set of Goodridge stainless brake lines here. The Endless pads that went into the car earlier this year were chucked in place for Ferodo DS2500s, Brembo sport slotted rotors were also installed.

GOODRIDGE: A BACKGROUND OF RACING HISTORY
For more than twenty years, Goodridge have been supplying hose and fittings to the world’s leading race teams. Ongoing research and development means that the lessons learned on the track are passed on to you, the serious user.

These race-bred brakelines are constructed from the finest quality hose, consisting of a PTFE inner and stainless steel overbraid.

• Eliminated sponginess under heavy braking.
• Increases braking efficiency.
• Abrasion and corrosion resistant.

Available now for most Honda/Acura applications.

EVO TAKE DOWN





It’s been almost a week now from when the Evo first arrived, since then it has been striped down to address some major wiring issues. Inside the cockpit you immediately see a GReddy controller paired to some Apex’i controller, relayed over to some other JDM controller, wired over to some boost gauge, all of which did not function. Along with all the modern computers, came a load ton of wiring that really didn’t lead to anything, more tapped into places where it should not have been tapped to. Rather than sorting each unit out and tracing hundreds of wires, it was all pulled and placed into the garbage where it belonged, currently still at the restoring point of the main cabin harness.
