I truly can't abandon ship. I have well in access of $60,000 in this project and still don't have a working transmission in my own car. I'd sell the car before I put a 5 speed back in it and I've never owned any car as long as I have this car (10+ years now). So I am stuck with finishing it and making it work!

 

Would be a sad day if you sold the Bad Bish.

i am afraid though that the GTR is getting too much of your attention

 

Everyone thinks that..... the GTR is sitting waiting on it's next huge round of upgrades. The EVO is actually being worked on each night a little.

 

After machining the shaft again, here locally, it is in the trans and the trans is in the car! I am hoping to be driving it for the first time since last August tomorrow!

 

Thats pretty awesome. The shaft looks like quality machining work, would it benefit from being heat/Nitriding treated ? either way hope it all works out this time around

 

Good ****!

 

Hats off for sticking with it. I know all to well how tough it can be with r@d. It pays a huge tole with time and money. If people ever get to buy this hopefully they will appreciate what has gone into this.

 

Not a quitter.

 

Good job. Never giving up!

 

Update this ish!

 

Need moar updates

 

it's on the buschur racing facebook page, but i will let him update this with the newest update

 

The car is running with the new trans in it and I've driven it, all seems flawless. I also have the new electric power steering in it and working perfectly.

I visited the machine shop today and am having a new part built, should be quick. It will eliminate the torque converter bolt problems the DSM's and now my EVO are plagued with, I'm surprised nobody else has done it after all these years.

Once I get that part I'll get it in the car and then the testing/driving will begin again.

 

Good deal! Congrats on your progress! I have a wedding during the BR Shootout so I am hoping it is running good at the East Coast Shootout so I can see it!
