MLR Rolling Road Day - Hosted by RC Developments

RC Developments recently hosted the Mitsubishi Lancer Register Rolling Road day at their H.Q in Warrington, Cheshire. Around 25 modified Mitsubishi Evo's arrived at the tuning house on the Saturday, with their owners eager to have their pride and joy tested to see how their modifications had increased performance. A great variety of Evo's were present, from Evo 4's up to Evo 9's, with power levels ranging from mild basic tune, up to amazing 850hp conversions



The Mitsubishi Lancer Register is an independant organisation dedicated to owners and enthusiasts of Mitsubishi Lancer's, in particular the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo with around 37,000 active members.

The day began with the arrival of Evo's from all over the United Kingdom, many coming as far as Scotland, with the group being split into 2 categories; Evo 4,5,6 and Evo 7,8,9, with each car undergoing a carefully performed power test on RC Developments' Dyno Dynamics 4 Wheel Rolling Road. With brand new software and recent calibration check from Terry at Dyno Dynamics, the MLR Club Members were assured ultra accurate power and torque readings, aswell as useful information provided in the form of other engine parameters such as boost pressure and air fuel ratio. The day ran very smoothly with 21 Evo's being tested throughout the day, with the RC Developments Staff on hand to help all of the MLR Members with tuning guidance and advice on getting the most out of their cars. In addition, RC Developments were offering Full 4 Wheel Alignment Sessions for customers wishing to optimise their suspension geometry settings



The whole day had positive feedback from the club, with the general consensus being that the excellent orginastion leant to a smooth and enjoyable day.
Particular highlights were from Daryl Page's Evo 4, running a 2.4L RC Developments Stroker Kit, with 530bhp at the wheels, making it one of Europe's most powerful Evo 4's.

Also, Kev Hemsleys Ultimate Sleeper; an RC Developments Road Going Monster, with Drenth Dog Gearbox, 2.4l RC Motor with RC GT40 Series Turbocharger, producing 644bhp at the wheels (around 847bhp at the flywheel), virtually stock bodywork, full interior and even a babyseat!
Many thanks go to the MLR and all its Members for such an enjoyable occasion, the first MLR Rolling Road Day in the history of RC Developments.
