In this Larry Chen video, we delve into a remarkable car build that defies expectations. The star of the show is an Evo 5 RS, a true gem rescued from the brink of destruction at a scrapyard. Chen's passion for this project shines through as he details the careful restoration and upgrades that have transformed this Evo into a powerhouse on wheels. From Comp Cams to a ported Turbo and a Link Standalone ECU, every modification serves a purpose in elevating the car's performance to a staggering 400 horsepower on ethanol.
The Evo's original motor, meticulously preserved and matched to its VIN number, forms the beating heart of this beast. Paired with a titanium exhaust, NG2 tires on Work Emotions CR Kai wheels, BC coilovers, and upgraded Willwood brakes, this rally-inspired machine is a force to be reckoned with. Despite the performance enhancements, the interior of the Evo remains largely untouched, maintaining its authentic charm while receiving subtle upgrades like Weather Tech mats.
Chen's dedication to preserving the Evo's legacy is evident in every detail of this build. From the roll-up windows to the lack of a sunroof, this Evo 5 RS stays true to its roots while embracing modern performance upgrades. The car's minimalist design, coupled with its impressive power output and rally-inspired features, make it a true driver's delight. Through this project, Chen not only breathes new life into a classic car but also sets the stage for future enthusiasts to experience the thrill of driving a piece of automotive history.
