Everything is still together after the test drive. Driveshaft wasn't hooked up and still with the stock motor.



I bought an Evo dropout off ebay from this salvage yard over in New Jersey for $5500 shipped. They said they didn't know what condition the motor was in and they said the car had been wrecked. Obviously the motor had to be running to wreck the car right? Here is what I got:



I started to go through the motor to see what condition everything was in and found ARP 8740 head studs.



ACT Clutch...



Built bottom end. Eagle H-beams (ugh), Wiseco pistons, and a 100mm stroke. Balance shaft delete.






Here she is waiting for a sex change














Modified the firewall to fit the Evo throttle cable.




Installed the Evo Ecu and decided to take a look at the cabin filter.



EV1 injector clips installed



Modified subframe










I got my subframe back from the local fabrication shop. He did a pretty good job. I also had him relocated the intercooler top mounting bracket. This car is going together soooo slowly. It better be worth it.






I'm away at college and don't have a garage. I was doing all my work at my buddies shop and he started working on the roof so I had to move my car out 11/22/2008. Didn't touch it over turkey break, finals week, or x-mas break. I came back from break and they still didn't have the roof done and I didn't know what I was gonna do. A warm day in February inspired me to just do it in my driveway and bring all my tools from home.

Gauge city



LICP pipe is fabbed up and beadrolled and ready for tig welding:




And that's how she sits now...

 

very very nice!!!!!!!

 

VERY close to startup

 

wow.... keep up the good work cant wait to see it done

 

lol i almost didn't catch it , nice build you'll have the power with out the weight.

 

Could have been a better pic then we would have been able to see it better.

 

pretty cool swap

 

Everything in the engine bay is sorted out. The only problem I have as of now is that my coolant and fuel gauge don't work. I have resistance in both and voltage going to the fuel sending unit and tested the continuity going to my gauge cluster and it's good. I'm thinking the wires going to the fuel level sending unit shorted it when my buddy was testing which wires went where. I have an 03+ gauge cluster coming and it should be here in a few days.

I should be picking up the driveshaft here in a few minutes from ups and I'll get some footage of 4 wheels in motion on a 3g!
