Yesterday I went to Garage G-Force in Yokohama to have a new RS Turbo fitted to my car and get a re-tune.
While I was there, I thought i'd take a few pictures.
All my engine related work is done by Garage GForce which is regarded as one of the best Evo Tuners in Japan.
This is the home of the current fastest Evo X in Japan with a best time around Tsukuba Circuit of 56.784 seconds which is absolutely amazing for a road registered and genuinely street driven car.
They have also built many successful Time Attack and Drag racing Evo's over the years.
昨日、いつも通っているチューニングショップ、ガレージＧＦＯＲＣＥに行ってきました。
ランサーエボリューションの専門のチューニングショップで、昔から多くの爆速車を出して、有名になったショップ、ＧＦＯＲＣＥ。
今現在日本一早いエボＸは、なんとガレージＧＦＯＲＣＥが作った物です。しかもちゃんと車検を通って街乗りにも使っています！５６．７８４秒はとっても信じられないタイムです！
 |
| Garage GForce made their name many years ago with their infamous Evo II street car that was capable of the standing quarter mile in a staggering 9.7 seconds, more amazing by the fact that this was well over 10 years ago. ガレージＧＦＯＲＣＥの伝説のランエボＩＩ、街乗り仕様なのに０－４００メートルはまさかの９．７秒！ |
 |
| Evo's everywhere. A typical day at Garage GForce. |
 |
| Very nice Showroom and waiting area with many of Garage GForce's products on display, as well as many other top name products. とっても綺麗で、広いショールームです。 |
 |
| Recogniton and accreditation from top Tuning Manufacturers such as HKS, TOMEI, and AMS, as well as many Trophies from such prestigious events as the annual Tsukuba Hyper Meeting, HKS Drag Battle, and Sepang Drag Battle. ＧＦＯＲＣＥは、ＨＫＳ、ＴＯＭＥＩなどの公認であり、国内と国際のイベントでとったトロフィーもたくさんあります。 |
 |
| If you're waiting for your car and are done with the many car related books and Magazines available to read, you can play Gran Turismo like Nob Taniguchi. 待ちながら、Nob 谷口さんと同じようにＰＳ３を出来るでしょうか。 |
 |
| Dedicated Engine assembly and machining rooms, as well as multiple hoists and a DynaPack Dynamometer. They also have a Gearbox test bench. |
 |
| The beautiful Gunmetal grey Garage GForce shop demo car up and under wraps. ＧＦＯＲＣＥ田澤さんのエボＸ。 |
 |
| There were some interesting customer's cars there including this crazy Evo IX Wagon that has reached a top speed of 313 kmh!! It's having more engine work to see if he can better that speed... 色々な人達の車も見れました、このＣＴ９Ａワゴンは３１３ｋｍｈが出るらしい！！ |
 |
| 130mm Turbo inlet, 90mm Intercooler pipes. . . |
 |
| A very nice Evo IX with a full Voltex Body kit. ＶＯＬＴＥＸボディキット、エボＩＸ |
 |
| This Evo III GSR has to be seen to be believed, it was like brand new... このエボＩＩＩは新車のように綺麗。 |
 |
| Another X with the full GForce treatment, and a very rare yellow Evo VII in immaculate condition. エボＸと、すごく綺麗な珍しい黄色のＶＩＩ。 |
 |
| Interesting, and effective. |
 |
| A very clean Evo VI 綺麗なエボＶＩ。 |
 |
| An Evo IX with all the usual mods. In for an engine rebuild. |
 |
| Another immaculate VII, this time a GTA. また綺麗なエボＶＩＩ、今回はＧＴＡ。 |
If you're ever in the area go and pay them a visit, or if you're after anything from a quality high performance engine, to a full Time Attack ready Race car, this is the place to come.
Their advice has so far been invaluable to me, and the tuning work has given very satisfying results.
Their philosophy of not being just a 'fitting shop', but more advising the customer how to best modify their car within their budget or goals, and maximizing performance with what they have available has established a quality reputation recognised by many Car Magazines, and Mitsubishi Motors as well.
ＧＦＯＲＣＥはただの交換屋ではなく、ドラッグレースからサーキットタイムアタック、全日本ダートラ参戦車のエンジンメンテなども行っている。ジャンルを問わず、エボを自在にチューンアップしてくれる。
ランエボ乗っている皆さん、機会があればぜひ行ってみてください！
後は、ランエボだけではなく、３５ＧＴ－Ｒや８６、２００系ハイエース、ヴェルファイアの話題も登場します。
And so how did my car turn out? I'll save that for next time ;-)
そして私の車がどうなったかは？次回の楽しみに。
