Time for an Evo RE-BUILD thread.

There are an awful lot of engineering degrees stuffed in that case! Sweet.

I just love following in your footsteps. Go ahead and add another $350 to my tranny build due to "extra work needed" and the unexpected turbo build with fuel pump and injectors and a Matty Matt tune. Broke Dern.

Some progress. Ive been busy working on other projects and have not had much time to work on my own car. Took a break this evening and did a few things.

Clean the engine bay a lil bit and inspect/lube the steering rack bushings.




Then replaced my damaged lower control arm, toss the bushings and replaced it with new items from Energy suspensions.
The passenger side lower Arm were confirmed to be bent and its 130k miles bushings were damaged so that definitely hurt its performance. This corrected the caster and stiffen up the front suspensions nicely, cant wait to get it back on the pavement again. :0)


As far as the front end of the car everything is done ( aside for some new Camber/caster plates thats in route) and ready for the engine/ tranny/ transfer case to go back in, but before I do that Ill be working on the rear end of the car. This week project is replacing the bushings in the rear control arms, and rear diff housing/and mustache bar. The rear diff will be ship out next week for a built.

I still have lots to do before its back on commission, more than likely will not be ready for TNT or first event in March but should be ready for the April event. Now to go get some sleep. Zzzzzzz

Did you have fun swapping those bushings out?

It wasnt bad actually, would have saved me lots of time if I had the correct inserts for the hydraulic press. C

This is actually a pretty well-lit, cool looking photo

Whatevs fool! Again? We both still have incomplete cars. Waiting on parts…

Installed fuel pump and injectors Saturday. Exhaust manifold arrives Friday. Turbo and oil feed line SHOULD arrive this week. Transmission hopefully next week with clutch. So within a couple weeks she will be fully assembled and ready for Matt to do that computer stuff
