To follow up on yesterday’s build, I built the 2nd fully customizable Mitsubishi in HEAT, and that’s the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX 2007. This car has always been a favorite through NFS games, so I was stoked to build it. To start I swapped the stock engine for the 3.8l V8, then I added Ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust to highlight the power that is in this build. I used (Varis) customization parts and the wheels are (BBS). I didn’t do anything special with the wrap, I just did a simple black chrome, with blacked-out wheels.

Mitsubishi is and always has been a popular car to use and to customize in previous NFS games, and in HEAT, there are two of them to choose from that are fully customizable. For the first, I chose to build the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X 2008, for this build, I swapped the stock engine for the Forged 2.0l I4, added Ultimate+ parts and then tuned the exhaust for a Smooth custom sound. I used (Varis) Customization parts with SSR rims that I blacked out. This wrap was recommended by @blackpanthaayt, I found it within the community builds.

I decided to do 2 Drag Builds this week, so I’m following my VW Drag build up with the Ford Mustang Foxbody 1990. For this build, I kept the stock 4.9l V8 engine, I then added Ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust to give it a smooth but powerful sound. I used the ( Speedhunter) customization parts with Rotiform Wheels. I found this vibrant Teal wrap in the community builds and I also blacked out the rims. This is personally one my favorite drag builds in NFS Heat.

When making a Drag Build NFS Heat has a variety of cars to choose from, and one of my favorites is the Volkswagen Beetle 1963. For this Drag Build I decided to be really different, I swapped the stock engine for the 1.5l I3 Hybrid, added Ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust to make it one of the meanest sounding hybrids you’ve ever heard. I used (Alchemist) for all of the visual customization parts as well as BBS wheels. I found this Silver and Black wrap within the community builds.

Acura has always been a really fun car to customize in NFS, so I decided to build the Acura RSX-S 2004 Coupe, and for this build, I swapped the stock engine for the 4.0l Flat 6, then I added Ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust to give it a mellow tune. I used (Buddy) customization parts with BBS wheels. I found this yellow wrap in the community and I added the new yellow wave underglow.

I’m a big fan of Mazda so I decided to build another MX5 and to be specific the Mazda MX5 2015. For this build I swapped the stock engine for the 3.0l I6, then I added Ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust for a Smooth Custom sound. All of the visual customization parts are (Pandem) Rocket Bunny, and I blacked out the rims. For the wrap I like this simple grey.

With build #5 and the final build for The Week of Hatchbacks I wanted to do one of my personal favorite vehicles, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 2016. For this build I decided to do something odd and swap the stock engine for a 2.0l I4 Hybrid, then I added Ultimate+ parts, and tuned the exhaust to highlight that clean hybrid sound. All of the visuals customization parts are Alchemist, which worked perfect to give it that beefy look, I also found this smooth red and black wrap within the community builds.

On day 4 of The Week of Hatchbacks, I decided to build the Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2010. For this build, I wanted to turn what is typically a Rally car into a Street/Track car, so I swapped the stock engine for the 3.8l Flat 6 ( ’96 Porsche Carrera Engine), added ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust to a smooth vibrant sound. I also added Varis Customization parts and blacked out the rims. I found this really nice Orange wrap within the community.

The week of Hatchbacks continues with the Ford Focus RS 2016. For this build, I wanted to do something different so I decided to swap the stock engine for a 3.5l V6 for better acceleration, then I added ultimate+ parts and tuned the exhaust for a light custom tune. For the wrap, I chose a simple bright blue and I blacked out the rims. In my opinion, this setup isn’t the best for events, I would recommend it for just driving around Palm city and Completing the Collectibles.

With there being multiple great hatchbacks to choose from in NFS Heat I decided to start The Week of Hatchbacks, after building the Civic Type-R, I decided to follow it up with the Volkswagen Golf 1976. For this build I wanted something fast and really clean, so I swapped the stock engine for the 2.8l Flat 6, and added ultimate+ parts. Then I tuned the exhaust to get a smooth vibrant sound, with the wrap I went for a simple metallic black with a red pinstripe.
