'ere we go

 

Hows this for a hairy moment.
At 4 am when the storm hit, the gutter fell off, and so nealy landed on my car.

Parents car took the hit though

Just like to share another one of my moments with the conversion

 

In regards to your cam wheels/cover and engine mount the only way to do it properly the first time roound is to use the evo3 engine mount and buy a bonnet.

you can modify cut and shuit the vr4 mounts or sonarta mounts but you will have problems with engine not aligned properly and have problems with leaking drive shaft seals as the wear and leak as it was never designed to dropped down that far to clear bonnet.

Evo3 engine mount and evo bonnet will solve your problem

 

Well the engine is in, whew man thats a "fun" job... such a tight squeeze, and dont even ask about aligning the bottom back mount! :@

Other major annoyances were the fuel and brake lines, Not fun bending those things with your hands and then crimping the damn thing...

But all is well... I think hehe. Now I need to connect the fuel tank to test if the engine even works :P!!!

 

Quick question: anyone have a spare EVO 3 alternator?

 

Chris meek will have one www.meek.com.au he is based in sydney but sends parts worldwide and stocks most parts for evo 1,2,3, and vr4's and gsr's including timing belt kits and alloy intercooler 63mm od pipe set upgrades.

 

Cool thaks for that link, hey anyone know where the oil cooler is supposed to go? Pics would be greatly appreciated (esp where to mount)

 

here u go
hope this helps ya

 

Awesome! Would it be possible to get a close up?

Cheers

 

hmmm ill see what i can do....
im not sure if i have much more picks. but if it helps if you have the brackets on the e3 cooler they should line up to sum holes on your car (in that spot) and you can put bolts thru.
(well the holes were there on my gsr anyway

 

Hehe I tried for 3 days, just could not find a way to mount the dang thing.

Basically the cooler has 2 rubber pipes coming out of it, 2 small 'L' shaped brackets on the top, and one weird bent bracket on the side.

At least i know the general position of it now... thanks!

 

Item for sale:

I have 4 CSA Gladiator 15" x 7" rims up for sale, excellent condition (no rim damage), great looking 5 spoke rims, not too flashy, just mean looking!

Attached is also a pic.

They dont come with rubber, as I want to keep it for my next rims, which will be exactly the same but bigger stud pattern 4 x 114.3.

Asking:
$400 for them (paid ~700 new), or $500 for extra 5 original steelies with 70% worn rubbers, stud pattern 4 X 100.

 

Anyone have a evo 3 wiring diagram? Or service manual.

 

Just to show you where i'm up to.

 

Nice work.
Looks like its getting there...
Whats left?
looks like you sussed out the oil cooler alright in the end...
