Fuego's Project Car!
 

Well after looking through this forum, I decided to make the ralliart a project car for my son and I. Some work will be done at home and some will be done at a shop. Either way here is a list of what I have and what I will be getting. I will also try to include pictures when I can.

It would not let me repost these pics {thumbdwn}

How the car looks now was done by the previous owner.

I love the front.

Good luck man. Get an exhaust on that thing!! X-)

I'd paint the mesh black, then it would super clean :)

Yea, I can't wait to get the exhaust. Will probably get the Borla first then the rest of the exhaust stuff.

I agree, also need to take a picture of it's assets. The body kit he put on hides my mufflers {thumbdwn} Might be the reason I don't have a picture right now... :lol:

I like the bumper on that body kit, VERY CLEAN!
Oh and I don't think AMI is making the pillar mounts any more (I would like one as well)
For the rear sway, pcick-up end-links from Racing Line, I've already blown sets of stockers w/ the 26mm (once on soft, the other on medium). Order the Evo X front endlinks, fully adjustable for the RA rear :D

EDIT: To clarify I mean the body kit you put up the link for, not the one on the car. The one on the car is ok, but the linked one is {thumbup}

I hate to upload these pics :mad: but it had to be done. The previous owner used a regular lancer body kit and not one for the ralliart. {thumbdwn}

That really does not work with the muffler

TThe main reason I want to change the full body kit! Few other stuff but the rear end pisses me off... :mad:

Good project. I hope when my son is older tge RA can become our project. On a side note this thread proly belongs in the show and shine section.

Is that the stock exhaust, "modified for fit" by having an oranutang swing on the tips?

That's classic. Imagine the head-scratching by the previous owner when the rear spoiler didn't fit, followed by "I've GOT it!"...

Rich

wow the rear bumper and diffuser actually looks good imo...see if you can extend your tips out when you get your system man

As far as tuners go, in TX, you're relatively in luck since SSP just opened up a shop down there, iirc. I say relatively since I don't know exactly where and it is quite a large state (duh) but if I were there, it'd be worth the drive either way...that's definitely the place to go!!

Also, +1 on painting the mesh black. Would clean it up very nicely.

Rims
 

Well here are the two rims i'm thinking of.
http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5745

http://www.ebay.com/itm/XXR-522-18-1...item4cfa8484a9

Opinions please and yes, I know the 2nd one would need to have the fenders rolled!!!

Rolled, and pulled depending on what size tire you decide to go with. Would look good if done well, though.

The fitment on the first set is much milder and you may be inclined to swap them out in the future if you are looking for a somewhat-aggressive fitment, so if you plan on going big, you may as well do it the way you want from the get-go

I agree but if you look closely at my rear lights you will see that their is a gap. This problem with this body kit is that it does not fit the ralliart perfectly, it's to bad that this issue also happens at other parts but is not as apparent! Though, I might remove it and see if I can fix it. If not then we have issues.. lol.... It will be a lot cheaper then getting another body kit, that's for sure.

It would be a rare body kit on the ralliart though. :D

Since everyone likes it, it's making me very happy now. I did always like the body kit but the issues with it made me :confused: whether I should keep it or not.

That would be nice! I hope it's close to San Antonio or Houston since my wife has family close by but to San Antonio it's 7hrs and to Houston it's 9hrs. I really hate driving out of el paso because it's nothingness out there. lol I'm more than willing to. I will tell my wife we need a weekend away. :lol:

I'm getting plasti-dip soon (bye bye chrome!), should I use that on the mesh?

Sure plasitdip the mesh (does it unscrew?) that will work

Damn, El Paso it pretty much way the hell out there. Might as well mob it 8 hrs to Plano and go see COBB

welcome to the RG RA club. check out my username on evoxforums dot com and you can check out my build. I have an X swap and am currently re-tuning and at 340ish whp.

Burn that bodykit with fire

Other than that good luck sir!

I have XXR 522 18x8.5. I really like em.

Clarkson.

Might be why he sold it. lol... Works for me! I have PLANS.... :lol:
It's the stock exhaust currently on it. To quiet if you ask me.
BORLA BORLA BORLA!

Yes, it does. I'm going to spray it black till the plasti dip comes in! :)
Pics should be up tomorrow.

We can have a bon fire! :lol:

Yea, that clears it up. I love that body kit. Just the cost to get it then painted compaired to making the one I have work is what I am looking at right now. :-)
Decissions Decissions....

Yes it is! I love driving but I just hate driving through the desert. Something about it makes me ZZZzzzz. I used to live in NJ, NY, PA and I can drive for hours anywhere around there but here. I hate the drive through the desert. Did I mention it sucks? lol

Will do. I'm not sure if I want to do the EVO X swap. To much power in my hands is dangerous. I'm with 03chi-town0Z, lets push the limits of what the current turbo has. Also, If I was to ever do a swap I would go bigger! Which means I would do all the other mods first and go with a bigger turbo. lol.. Why? I don't know it's just me. If I'm going to do it, then go big. I would upgrade the SST trans and a lot of the engine parts! For now, I think I will be happy with what I have.

I'm going over to check your build out now.



So here is an update:
I installed thee EVO X BOV and THE GST pill.
Took me about 1 hour to do it all. the hose were the pill was did not want to come off.

Then I reflashed the ECU with the GST 91 Boost Pill Tune V2.5

Took it for a test drive and it was amazing the difference!
I shifted at 7500 RPMs, not sure if thats good or bad for the car. It was a test drive though. lol....

It's all good, I take my car to red-line ATLEAST once a week. Nothing like a Ferrari tune to get rid of carbon build-up :D
On a more serious note, periodic red-line's is good for a high performance car like this. An easy way to damage the engine is putzing around for a year never going over 3k rpm, then deciding to go drive 'aggressively'. There will be a higher likely hood of an exhaust valve getting stuck from carbon build-up.

Thanks!!! {thumbup} Well, I stopped at 7500 RPMs but i'm not sure what the max RPM was. Was kind of worried about going higher! :eek:

Cheers :beer: / hold on i'm at work so it's rootbeer! :crap:

IIRC on the GST it's 7600

Ok so after much thinking i'm going with these rims!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/XXR-522-18-18x9-5-5x114-3-BRONZE-WHEELS-RIM-EVO-8-X-STI-/330620503209?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &vxp=mtr&hash=item4cfa8484a9

I'm going for more of the aggressive look, so the plan is to go big :-)

I have to find them in this size. The thing i'm worried about is that if i'm going with the wider body kit I might want the 9.5 wide then. So, Now i'm wondering how much wider is the body kit.



Yes it is! I had to test that out :-)

New update:
Ok so I painted the mesh plack and the window trip with plasti-dip.

Also, adding to my list is the skip plate!
http://www.xrossmotorsports.com/Rall...-Ralliart.html

I also have green neon lights sitting garage forever and I think it will go well with the car. lol...

I had to put a front license plate on. Did not really want to but I have no choice before I get a ticket and I have been pulled over for it!

Shouldve went with the side plate :( Your blocking the front too much with it.

Yea, I have the Evo side plate coming. The current one has tie wrap on it everywhere. :lol: Good thing I put it on last night though. I passed about 4 cops on the way to work today. I usually don't pass any.

I disagree, I can't stand the look of the front plate not being centered.

With his Evo X style front you can't block that off..... Side/sliding out plate or none is the only way to go in his case.

Beautiful. Front looks WAAAY better now. Still, I've never been a fan of un-painted carbon, but to each their own.

Also, if you're already looking at spending ~300 on a skid plate, may as well fork over the extra 75 and go with this one: http://www.sspperformance.com/sub-ca...x/underpanels/

Offers greater coverage and some ventilation as well. Not to mention a sweet access panel for easy oil drain plug and filter access

Excellent project!

I noticed that your planning on adding a Re-Q bass restoration unit. I can't tell you enough how much you don't want to do that. I just took my Re-Q out and before setting it down on anything, threw it in the garbage. It's noisy (not clean) a little finicky, and doesn't actually restore anything below around 40hz. I won't get started on the supposed power of the front versus sub channels...

Instead, pick up an Audio Control LC2i. Crutchfield has them for 99.00. It does essentially the same thing, only the AC actually works, is clean and sends a nice high voltage signal to your amp(s).

I got thne same wheels in black chrome.

Thanks for the heads up. Will look into it.

I like the look of the unpainted carbon on this car :D
I don't like how they look on a lot of cars, though. I'm also looking into this body kit now. Just waiting for them to reply to my email. I really like it. It has an aggressive look to it :)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-08-Mitsu-Lancer-GT-CNC-DURAFLEX-Body-Kit-/400208250849?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Year%3A2009|Submodel%3ARalliart&vxp=mtr&hash =item5d2e4547e1

Let me know what you guys think. I hoping to order this and the BC Coilover this week :)

Baller!

Well I finally got a hold of the seller on ebay and that body kit is for the Evo X. Yet, it does not mention EVO X on the site at all. :( would have been an awesome body kit. Well, the search is on...

I really like the GTR wide body kit.
http://www.body-kit.com/model_mit_lancer08bodykits.html

I'm also going to try to get a hold of duraflex about that other body kit and it they can do a custom one. I will keep you guys update. I had to go out with the wife today so hopefully tomorrow I can order the coilovers. I'm also soooo tempted to get the borla exhaust. I might be a dead man then.

Interested in what you do with the body kit. I'm looking for something to make the car wider

I contacted them and for the GTR wide body kit and it will be $1,400 shipped to the houe. I really like how that body kit looks like. The seller has great reviews. I'm going to see if I can bring them down a little. ~Hope you guys like that body kit. I think it will be a very unique one to see on our cars. {thumbup}
You can also see almost the same body kit in their Evo X section in Black.

I contacted Chris at MAP and got the BC Coilovers with extenders for$1034 shipped to the house.

I also ordered the http://www.racinglineperformance.com/shop/pc/home.asp
EVO X Front Endlinks $92.24 shipped.

I'm planning to order the whiteline swaybars.

I guess after I get all this installed it will be time to get a Borla Exhaust. lol... Man I can't wait....

Ok, I ordered the swaybars...

26mm Front and 24mm Rear Whiteline swaybars for a total of $371.66
Cheapest I could find. I was really surprised at the price.
captwholesale (dot) com

Swaybars, Endlinks, and BC Coilovers have arrived! Installation is this friday and allignement is on Saturday. I will be installing everything with a friend of mine! Best of luck to me. {thumbup} I have not ordered the Body Kit yet but will let everyone know once I do! I can't wait to get it but I want to do everything by sections and one step at a time.

So everything was installed except for the front sway bar and the car is alligned! I love it. Car drives great esp when cornering. The car was about 4.5" from the ground and now it's 6.5" and I can get up my driveway and go places that I would usually scratch and scratch no more. Since the front sway bar is a major PITA I will pay my friend to install it at his shop when I get a chance. I have the rear swaybar on medium setting but I might go to the hard setting to see how I like it. I have not had a chance to mess with the dampners yet so everything is set to full soft.

So the next step is my 30k mile service.

I ordered AMSOIL for the oil, oil filter, power steering, brake fluids and anitfreeze. Then I can change my oil with my 15k mile service. {thumbup}{thumbup}{thumbup}

DiaQueen LSD from MAP, Pestosin FFL-2(DiaQueen SSTF-1) saved me $110 getting if from RAI motorsports then getting the OEM, SSP Reusable Filter, Cabin air filter, drive belt, injen air filter and filter shield.

Once that all comes in then it's time do do the 30k mile service.

I will be ordering the wide body kit soon. Be patient, all this cost money to do. Current body kit is all messed up due to how low the car was and how it was installed. So I can't wait to get this done and of course the borla exhaust.

Can't wait to get my bonus so I can order mine as well. Sounds great :)

Because of seeing your evo, I am now considering getting that kind of color.:D

lol... I'm trying to be patient and doing one step at a time! Don't want issues with my other half. then i will be like :helpme:

Mine's not an evo but I love the ralliart. No way, do I want to change to an evo. I like being different and thats where the ralliart shines! :D On the other hand, I love the rotor glow color.

As another rotor glow Ralliart owner, it's great to see someone on here doing a build on a rotor glow ralliart. It helps me picture what I want to do with mine. Keep up the good work, its looking great.{thumbup}

Thanks and welcome to the Rotor Glow. I love the color...

:D I'm doing the full service soon and I will check all the how to's and things like that. I will add what I used here as a link and if anyone want any specific pictures let me know. I might do it this weekend of the next. All I need to order is the DiaQueen LSD but I also want to order the whiteline KDT909 Rear Diff Bushing. Need to call MAP because they would be the cheapest since most people charge like $20-30 for the shipping, the only thing is that they don't have the KDT909 on the website.

I still have the front sway bar to get installed. Need to contact my friend who is a mechnic and see if he is able to do it. Might drive by his shop today.

Ok, I'm just putting this out there because it gets me very upset when I see the following. "Man, I could have bought an X or GSR for the amount of money I spent on the mods for the ralliart."

I don't know about everyone else, but if your modding your ralliart, you will likely mod any of the other car. So, just to let you know, if you mod your air intake you that will most likely mod it on the X or GSR and so forth. So you still save money of the difference of the cars and maybe some of the mod parts, depending on what you get. I got the ralliart and I love it. I know if I had any other sports car I would be doing the same exact thing!!!

I called MAP and talked to Chris and the LSD and the KDT909 came out to $145 shipped. I'm always trying to get a deal somewhere. Almost everywhere else I found for those 2 would have came out to $160+

Body Kit...

Ok, here is a new one i'm looking at

Thanks Bro! I been doing a lot of reading right now to get my car properly serviced at my house :) I'm going to be reading all about that real soon! I really appreciate the help! {thumbup}

This might sound funny, but whenever I have a hard time visualizing what I'm trying to do, I refer back to this one (really helpful for MIVEC):
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine1.htm

Crud! The dealer won't install my swaybar. Well, then they don't need my money. I won't go to them for nothing then! I have to go to a friend to do it. I do have a question, when doing the work on the steering, is it possible for the airbag to go off? That was one of his concerns and the other one was that I might have to get it realigned.

Also, I got the Wideband bung installed in my DP and will be installing the wideband this weekend! :D It only cost me $30 for the installation and we put it at 9'oclock because it would cost more to do it at 3'oclock or 12'oclock.

Those instructions are for the wrong car. Find ones for the X. The thing to be really careful with is that you reattach the steering exactly the way it was prior to disconnection. That part is kind like the fulcrum for the steering; being off by 1mm equals a couple/few inches at the wheels. I think this is the info you want: http://www.hotchkis.net/mitsubishi_e..._sway_bar.html
As for the o2 sensor, so long as it's between 9 and 3 your ok (although 10 to 2 is better). The whole point is to NOT have it between 3 and 9 due to condensation build up.

Thanks for the info. I will try to check that link later because for some reason I can' open the insructions here at work :(. I think He put it at 9-10 because of that reason. Will verify and take a picture when I install the Wideband. I think he also angled it a little i believe. l The guy really knew what he was doing and was cool about everything, they were recommended by my friend who has a shop in the area. Just would have cost a lot more to have it installed at 3 .

Hopefully by this weekend I start logging :D

Just a heads-up, make sure you route those wires VERY carefully across the exhaust if you've got the bung @ 9-10 o clock position. There have been a few "WTF just happened?" moments posted on here when somebody burned through o2 sensor wires. More commonly for the OEM sensors causing the dash to go "christmas tree", but still, you don't want to end up having to buy another sensor due to a careless oversight.

I was able to wire it with where the other o2 sensor sits so the cables should not burn :D Hopefully this week I will have time to try and log :))

The link to down load the instructions does not work :( I emailed them about the link and I will search to see if I can find another guide :(

Try this one..

http://www.hotchkis.net/_uploaded_files/22440.pdf

Awesome!!! That linked worked for me :D

So I been reading and now I got my EvoScan up and running. I'm going to try to log RPM, Load(Fuel), Boost, IPW, IDC, Knock Sum, Timing Advance, TSP, IAT, MAT, ECT, WGDC, Active WGDC Correction and LC-1 AFR.


HAHAHAHA Opps My laptop does not have a serial port. lol... Got to get a serial to USB then.

So I uploaded the new 2.7 Maps and love them. Also, should be ordering the serial to USB so I can do some logging. I should be getting the body kit hopefully next month to order.

Had a member email me asking me information on the new rom and I gave them the following:

The new Maps came in for tuning the car 2.7 and its amazing. Putting the new map on your car is really easy.

Check out

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...f-dummies.html read part 1 and 2.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...t-basemap.html this is where you get the 2.7

The other day my computer froze during the process of flashing the ECU. I restarted my computer and redid the process and had no issues. It's really hard to damage the ECU by following the steps. Also, any questions just mail me here.

Once u install the program you connect the openport to the laptop. Then open ecuflash program. Connect it to the car. Put the car on the on position and then hit the read ECU and download your ROM to your computer and email it to yourself so you have it. If you can do that, then everything is working properly! Don't worry about your car going hay wire. It's just going through it's process. So now that u got it to read your ECU and download it, you should have no issue with it loading a new ROM. I always like to read ECU before I flash it. Once all that is done then you open your ROM for your car (2009 USDM/CADM and the octane you use and mods). I have the boost pill so I use 2009 USDM/CADM - 91 oct - BoostPill - V2.7 and then Write to ECU. You will see your car go hay wire again and then it will all be done. You will have the engine light on when it's all done After any EcuFlash operations, the EcuFlash can clear it... just run this procedure: Select "ECU" -> "Clear DTCs". Then press "OK" on EcuFlash and BAM you should be all done when it's finished with the process. I highly recommend getting a OBD Extender 5' because your left leg will hit the Openport and you will prefer $20-30 instead of $180 or open it up and fix the mini USB connector which is what I had to do :(

If you don't want to order the usb to serial and do standalone logging, You can just use a 2.5mm stereo jack and solder it onto the serial output of the LC-1. I find it easier to log without a laptop sliding around my front seat. Just an option that I find easier and cheaper.

If you do decide to use serial to usb.This is currently what I use with my AEM WB. I tried the soldering to the pins but had bad luck with pins in the cable breaking..somebody stepped on it etc. So I picked up a 9-Position Female Crimp D-Sub Connector from radioshack($3) much easier and secure fit than soldering for me...
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103806#


This is also the serial cable currently using with windows 7 ($20)
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2292430

^+1 on the Radio Shack parts.
When I was setting my WB (and incorrectly thought I had to use serial) I got the parts from RS.

Ok, so I get the connector from Radio Shack and then plug the 2.5mm into where? of the d-sub connector. Then I plug the 2.5 into the Laptop? Sorry I'm a little lost on the whole setup and connection process.

So I emailed them and I got no response back. :crap:
I think the email is the correct ones! It's the one I used on the top of the link.

You can just plug the 2.5mm straight into your tactrix, this is me assuming you have one. Then you can standalone log everything you want. If you don't have a tactrix, then you have to go the other method, serial to usb, which would then plug into your laptop and then log with evoscan etc....Hope this clears some of it up.

Thanks for the help! :D

Yes it does, and yes I have a tactrix. The other part was this "2.5mm stereo jack and solder it onto the serial output of the LC-1"? what pin do I solder it to?

Well this is the confusing bit, sort of. On the 2.5mm jack there are 3 points of contact. You need to solder the ground write to the part closest to the middle of the jack. The serial wire goes on the middle connection point. The easiest is to google an image of a stereo jack to get a better idea of what I mean. The hardest part is soldering the wire on to the tiny 2.5mm jack. There is also an image on the wiki page for stand alone logging if that also helps. I'm sure this is all clear as mud now.

So this is what I was told.
"Hello,

Now it's easy to do. Going to check out that radio shack one since It's close to the house. Thanks everyone for the help on this. Hopefully I can log this weekend! {thumbup}{thumbup}{thumbup}

So, after along talk with someone at driven by style (Craig) this is what I found out. The front bumper for a EVO X will fit our car as long as we get the EXO X fenders. Now for the Rear, you need one for the lancer!!! So if you can find a good rear bumper that will work then you can get and EVO X front bumper and Fenders. If you go to their website he said this would work.

2008-2012 Mitsubishi Evolution X GT Concept Fenders : 104641
2008-2012 Mitsubishi Evolution X GT Concept Kit : 104648
2008-2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Look Rear Bumper: 106955

Or Match is with the Rear Bumper setup of this:

Then I just need to get any side skirts I like. It's great that now I have more options.

Just thought I would share what I found! I really like how aggressive that fron bumper looks!!!

Well you don't need a serial cable at all, you can just go to radio shack and get a 2.5mm stereo jack. For me, I had an old cell phone headset that I did not use any more and it had a 2.5mm stereo jack. So I just removed the end and soldered on my own wires, then used a butt connector to the wideband serial output and just grounded the other wire to the chassis. Then you just plug it into your tactrix when ever you want to log. Also, from your links, you want to solder the wire to the serial connection on the middle (ring), and the ground goes to the base (sleeve). Hope this clears it all up.

What I just realized is that with the http://www.tactrix.com/index.php?pag...mart&Itemid=53
I don't need a serial adaptor, which is the one I have. Just use a 2.5mm on both ends, and connect it to the Tactrix and bam ready to rock and roll! Thanks for all the help guys!

Bodykit Update!

I working with Driven by Style on this with Craig. I think the outcome it going to be sweet! It will be a wide body kit but it's pieces from 3 different kits to make it work. Working with a body shop, insurance, and Craig on this. My current kit is fully damaged (and the body has hail damaged, ugh) and the insurance is covering to get it fixed(guess it all is going to work out at then end) and I will be covering the difference to get what I want. :) Once I have more info, I will post so you can see what the plans are for the body kit.

And if you have a wideband, connect it to your laptop and check off the wideband logging in EvoScan.

The best logs would be a full RPM sweep of 3rd and/or 4th gear on a level road. Log the car in Sport Mode so it won't shift on you."

Ok, So I have everything ready and drive the car and try to do a 2500 rpm to redline on 3rd gear or 4th gear. Probably easier to do in 3rd due to speed limit. lol. I'm getting ready to do this and wanted to make sure everything is in place. So if anyone can help, what will come after this? I get home and I want to check to see how everything went! What do I do?

So many things going on. lol...

This project is on the move! ok, so I think i'm coming to a choice, either I go borla or Evo X turbo. lol.... I can get the turbo ($400)with all the hose i need and the stock DP for $80 or I can get the ETS DP for $300. Would it be better to get the ETS or should I just get the stock DP? I'm still searching for the exhaust manifold :D

Get a 3" dp and hfc/tp. If you are going to do all the work of replacing the turbo, only makes sense to upgrade them as well, otherwise you will just do it later. Also look into something for the o2 housing, either a widemouth dp or a replacement o2 housing (like the meagan one).

Thanks! I have someone who has all the parts and is parting out on everything on the Evo X, so I'm trying to get a deal on it. Even if I get a couple of parts at a time, it's fine with me. I think the turbo with all the connecters except for the feeder part for $400 is a great deal and probably another $80 to ship.

I will be going to the body shop to work with them and see what are we looking at cost wise to do the bodykit install. Will update this portion tomorrow.

I'm looking at $1,600 for the complete wide body kit and I'm just waiting for the price of the wind splitter. Craig at Driven By Style has been extremely helpful. He gets tons of emails from me daily and is very quick on replying and getting information to me quickly. This is the email I got from him today when asking about installation and pricing.

"Yeah this is actually pretty simple. Everything is a bolt on except for the quarter panel overlays will need some amount of work when getting them ready for install. You can do them a few different ways.

1) go for the race look and have the rear panels installed with rivets and add a rubber gasket behind the panels so they dont rub the stock metal panels.
2) go for a permanent look and have the rear panels installed with panel bonding adhesive
3) go for a seamless oem look and install the rear panels with panel bonding adhesive and then mold the seams with fiberglass and body filler. (would require the rear quarterpanels to be painted on the car so to make sure everything looks right the entire a to c pillar would be sprayed and then there is a break line at the bottom by the side skirt.)

If you can afford it option 3 would be the way to go because you can have the shop cut out the rear sheet metal in the wheel wells and actually space your wheels out wide and not have clearance issues. The new quarter panel would actually be a functioning wide body if done this way.

The front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, fenders, rear add ons are all bolt ons.

Every fiberglass part will need to be test fitted first then pulled back off to be prepped for paint. Every millimeter of surface needs to be sanded and any pin holes, gel coat chips, spider cracks etc would be spot filled with glazing body filler. Once all parts are sanded and body worked then they are primered with high build primer, block sanded a final time and then sealed and painted.

Price will vary from shop to shop as well as by area that you live in. I would check around a few shops and make sure you are comparing shops that do this kind of work not just collision repair. If you run into any tech questions or anything like that I am always available to assist just shoot me an email.

I should have the pricing on the splitter shortly just waiting for a call back.

Thanks
Craig-"

Ok so I went to the shop and this is what they told me. That a job like this to be done professionally will be about $2500+ It will depend on how much prep work the body kit needs before it is installed. I'm thinking it will be like $3,500 as I want the whole car repainted with House of Kollor - Kandy Orange - UK08 Tangerine. Cost about $1200 for just all the paint stuff and that's why I think it will be like $3,500.

I am really getting excited about the project!

let me know how it turns out because thats how much my shop is charging me the same price as well. I just didnt go through with the project yet kinda worried about it looking out of place. GOOD LUCK!

Honestly, I would be more concerned if the shop would charge me $800 for a job i'm asking for. Just make sure the shop is highly know for their job. Go even to a local auto paint store and ask them and places that sell performance part and body kits. They can all help point you in the right direction. The shop I'm going to is known all around town. When it's all said and done you are looking for a shop that going to do it right. If you learn a little about the process it helps you. For example, what does it take for the body shop to install and prep the body kit. The next thing is about painting it. Remember it's your car and your job to make sure the shop is going to do the job that you pay for so get informed and keep an eye on your project.

So I want more power. lol. So It looks like i'm heading to the EVO X turbo. Seems like you can get a deal in the price for it.

So here is what I'm looking at once I'm done with the body kit project.

Evo X intercooler, turbo
AMS downpipe and HFC (might even get the AMS intercooler)
COBB EVO X Hard Pipe Kit and work with them with a air intake that will work with out removing the battery. ( I believe someone else was able to get that done).
Borla Exhaust. I just like how the Hard Pipe kit looks inside the engine bay. Very Clean looking.

1. Borla Exhaust
2. HFC
3. Intercooler
4. I will probably get the rest around the same time unless I get a great deal on a turbo.

If' I do this, I believe the Evo X UICP and LICP should work with out having to change anything?

Lol yea maybe in a year or two i'll upgrade SST clutch pads but I just can't do everything to fast. Wife will kill me.

So I was looking at the brake information and did wanted to know if I went with the Evo X size tires, can I get Evo X rotors and things like that?

Ok, So I read a lot of forums on brakes and things like that. The AMS seems like a good price. The Brembo is way to expensive. So I'm just wondering if there is any way to get or use the Evo X setup. maybe even change the hub? I don't know. Just brain storming here. lol.

Eric (NFSLancerRA) fabricated a bracket set that would allow you to mount big ol' Chevy Vette C6 calipers on the RA, but there has been a halt in production for now. That may be the way to go as the cost is ridiculously less than any other bbk out there and everyone who has done the swap swears by it. If you're not in a hurry, it could be worth waiting for.

As far as an intake for the X swap that keeps your factory battery location, CBRD makes one you can see here: http://cbrd.mybigcommerce.com/cbrd-r...-turbocharger/

Unfortunately no. I've tried ever possibly configuration to get an X caliper on, it just wont work. The bolting holes don't line up, but they also overlap (can't use a bracket). The hub is swapable but the the calipers don't bolt on to it (I tried that route as well). You need to either find a caliper that is roughly the same size with completely different bolt holes (like NFS did) and make a bracket, or buy a pre-made kit. I'm going Stop Tech.

No doubt! I'm keeping an eye out for that bracket. I was just brainstorming. :D


I was looking for something like that but a shorter RAM so I don't have to relocate battery. I think it will look really clean that way.


Thanks for the info sstevojr! mind was going so I thought I asked. I figured someone already did all the leg work on that, just wanted to ask since it was brainstorming.

The CBRD option is a SRI that allows for stock battery location on the RA. It was designed specifically for that purpose. You can pm CBRD on here for more info

So, you can't swap the hubs. You might be able to get away with using Evo VIII calipers, but there will be some pad overlap. I am working on bringing the kit back. It shouldn't be more than a few weeks until that is complete.

Found the answer here. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...ng-issues.html
The Intake comes with the filter. I wish they had a picture of the filter with the intake because it will make it easier to see that it is complete. I was wondering what else I had to get with it.

Thanks 03chi-town0Z for the help!

NFS sign me up! Just wondering what is everything that the kit will have?

Brackets, Hardware, Evo X StopTech Rotors, Lines, Kore3 Calipers, and Hawk HP+ Pads. The goal is $1,000 starting price for the whole kit. If I buy rotors in bulk, I may be able to provide better rotors at a cheaper cost than anyone could by buying them individually.

Awesome! I'm waiting then. lol... Will it be just front brakes or both front and rear?


New update. I'm ordering the new body kit next week. I'm also trying to get the Evoscan GPS(still reading more information on it), Borla Exhaust, the HFC, and Intercooler.


After reading about the RAD Turbo I'm very intrested but for now I'm going to add everything else I need except for the Turbo and DP till I make my decision about Evo X or RAD Turbo. Seems like I can make the same power. Either way I will be doing all the work myself so I'm not worried about labor cost or even the price of the parts. I just want something that works for me! What I like about the RAD is I can slowly upgrade everything and then just slap it in when I feel ready and max out the potential of the Stock Turbo. With the Evo X on I have to do a few piece at once.
