Picking up an Evolution IV
Picked up the car finally. Found out a few things about it:
It's got Mine's front and rear strut tower braces.
I won a set of Evo VI OZ wheels today on Yahoo Auctions Japan and also ordered some Kumho MX 215/40/17's from Tire Rack. Also bought a front set of Brembos with Stoptech rotors, I'm hoping it will all be here within a week, we'll see though.

ive the same brake wheel set up on mine,congrats ,the car looks awesome ,rare in red, not trying to dampen your spirits but stock 4 pistons even though they are forged wont hold up to much more than 1.2 bar/18 psi boost, and evo4 engine are prone to crankwalk,i fitted an evovi engine to mine 3 months after i bought it the 4 engine c/walked.so please be careful,hope all goes well.

Did you paint or powdercoat those wheels white? I just got mine from Yahoo Auctions Japan, but they are being shipped down here from mainland Japan, should be here in a few days. In the pictures they don't look that white.

Well, after the cost of all that, I could just buy a Power FC. The Power FC's are REAL popular over here in Japan, so there's plenty of tuners here. So that's the way I'll go, I've never been a fan of flashes anyways.
They are powder coated from the manufacturer. Not speaking of his specifically, just some offhand knowledge.
Would it be feasible to just get a brand new bare block and crank from a V or newer and use my head and some aftermarket pistons and rods? It seems like that might be a good route to go, and it seems like that would negate the possibility of crankwalk.

Yeah, I actually looked at a couple Evo V's for the same price as this IV. The extra options were nice, but they just weren't in as good of condition as this IV. Also I like the body style of the IV better than the V/VI.
