One of the things I love doing is testing hardware, evaluating things, and seeing what works and what doesnt. Now as a hobby as you can imagine, its time consuming, and expensive. I have spent also alot of time doing custom projects as well.
So its kinda a dream come true, to get the chance to work for a company that is right smack in the middle of the aftermarket world. Johnston Research and Performance, has been the leading distributor of major after market brand names within Canada 10 years plus. My roll here will be to in online sales, PR and Media relations. That said, you can bet your ass that I will be evaluating every piece of hardware possible for the Mitsubishi Lancer, Ralliart and EVO X.
When I said Leading Distributor, I mean for everyone. Greddy, HKS, INJEN, AEM, HAWK, BREMBO, etc…. etc…. etc…. There is a line card but even that doesnt list everything.
So from that perspective, I dont think I will ever run out of parts to throw on and evaluate. So I can promise you its going to be a very busy remainder of the year. With all the resources of JRP, expect pictures, video clips, even events.
On a final note, One of the things I have been always upset about is how there is never parts available for the Lancer, and what pissed me off even more is when there was parts out. They would never be in stock. now that I work here, its my goal to make sure the well never runs dry in terms of stocking hot Mitsubishi Parts. So if you canadian or usa guys are ever having a hard time looking for a part. Brakes, Engine, Suspension what ever. Shoot me an email with the part number and I will do my best to give you a fast quote and ship it right out to ya. My email address is shaun@jrponline.com .

John from Rally Innovations has reported back that the Urban RalliArt was a success at the LA show. He has shared a few pics with me and I am going to post them up here. I am once again grateful to help out with this project where I can. Rally Innovations has done a great job with both the Sportback RalliArt. Stunning

Rally Innovations has been putting together a good package and I was fortunate enough to get the chance to help them make something special happen just in time for the SEMA show. But it doesnt stop there. HOS Automotive as well as other Allied vendors are working to air drop the “Good Stuff” in to the USA market.
I will give a full break down after the SEMA show is over. But I would love to leave you with this image. Priceless!!!

Sorry guys, for the lack of updates. Been quarterbacking a few projects from a far, but it looks like things are coming together. What does that mean. Well There is a long list of things I wish to submit to Mitsubishi USA. For right now, the Sema show starts tomorrow. One of my Ally’s are show casing a special Mitsubishi Project Car, it looks stunning and I am humbled that it carries an EVOSOUL badge Special thanks to everyone who went the extra distance to make this happen.
Check out the SEMA agenda
Sema
I have a special announcement at the end of this or next week. For all those Hard Core Mitsubishi guys out there. It will for sure grab your attention.
Last but not least. There has been some serious quality goods coming out of singapore by Rick and Scorpion. I just got my hands on a nice CF print and black Vortex generators, and i find my self choosing between them.

Had time to show off Ricks Center Diffuser at the local meet. Soon it will be available in Canada and the USA for direct purchase. Stay tuned for details as things get worked out with dealers.
In the mean time, check this out Sweet photos of Blackheart’s ride.
