Q: Why the Evo X from a Accord EuroR?
I’ve wanted to try a turbo car, as I always had a passion for turbo cars. It was something entirely different from NA.
Q: What’s your bike/car ownership history?
I started riding my first Class 2 bike in 2012, a Ducati 1098S Followed by a BMW S1000RR in 2013, Honda Accord Euro R in 2014, Mitsubishi Evolution X 2015(Current)
Q: What’s the best thing you like about in the Evo X?
The power it holds in just a 2.0L engine! Horsepower seems to be limitless on an Evo.
Q: Any coming plans for the Evo X (be it cosmetic or performance)?
I guess it’s unpredictable when it comes to an Evo X, it’s a neverending journey of modifications and perfecting your ride.
Q: What was the best one thing you like about in the Euro R? Any regrets 'upgrading’?
Pedal to the metal for VTEC. But when I got the Evo I have never looked back since, the turbo attraction is just too strong and everyone really needs to drive an Evo AT LEAST ONCE in their life.
Q: If money and car availability wasn’t an issue, what car would you get?
Porsche GT3RS
Q: Whats the craziest thing that has happened to you when driving in the Evo X?
Drifting! Happened too fast but now I’m trying to learn the ropes to get the correct technique!
Q: Last question, are you a carsiao!!!!
DEFINITELY!
Looking at the rides history and now this beast, yes, definitely a car siao! We approve!
Ride DRIFT safe! May the force be with you!
