any update on the car now?

 

It's almost done....

 

Lets Tar and Feather him...

 

Well, the other guy in this thread that was going to buy it backed out....bought a 350z... I dont blame him he couldn't wait any longer for a car....So now I'm in the process of selling my SRT-4 to take over the payments from my grandfather on the Evo...figured why not living in the northeast AWD can be a lifesaver.. that and the fact its just a 10x better all around car...lol..and the fact it will have a fully built bottom end, kinda makes the decision easier for me....so if you know anyone looking for an SRT-4 let me know

 

and the fact that you brought it from dead to alive. much props man. keep it.

 

yea in the past 5 months I've had more blood sweat and tears into this car than anyone I've ever owned....

 

To know that in the end your just keeping the thing is AWESOME! Lol you'll enjoy that thing 10 times more then that NEON!

 

hey, I love my SRT-4, and I've whooped more than my fair share of evo's and STI's with it (yes it's heavily modded)... but in the end the Evo is a much better car, and if I get as much stuff done to the Evo as I have done to the SRT....well, lets just say it will be redonkulous...

 

Also can anyone tell me if the ACT clutches for the EVO are any good?

 

You should be ok if your still on teh stock turbo and shift below 7500.

If your going to go big power in the future and launch a lot, then spend the extra on the exedy twin hd.

 

Great clutch and good up to around 450 ft/lbs if not more.

 

well thats good to hear

 

I just finished reading all 14 pages of the original story and then all of this thread. This is one of the best and worst (at the same time) car stories I've ever heard. That's awesome that you managed to revive that thing from the dead. You definitely need to post before/after pictures once it's done.

Oh, and I love my ACT clutch. I got the street disc with the HD pressure plate and its actually nicer to drive than the stock clutch.

 

Wow!Looks much better!

 

WOW, great hands and patience man!!! You building that thing is just amazing. Lets hit up some vendors for some parts to make this the Feel Good Story of the year!!

Tell me about the engine build, just stock or meaty'r bits?
