2026: What Did You Do To Your Evo Today?
i finally got the rebuild done on my IX. engine in, all buttoned up.. fluids in. started her up for about 30 secs. heard a weird noise which turned out to be the flywheel on the lower cover, near the starter.
then i realized i never torqued my flywheel bolts.
damn it.
so i spent the last two days wedging my POS 6spd out of the car. again. fixed the bolts. ten minutes later it was ready to put back in. again. i can't wait. taking a break until tomorrow. LOL.
damn it.

Kreeker, was it worth the price of the Beatrush undertray?
Haha as you could probably tell from talking with me, I had never even used a rivet gun... I wanted to get it installed first with the original hardware and then I'll try to get the fasteners installed.
I'm going to try using the clip-on fasteners for the tow hook cover. I just have to drill a slightly larger diameter hole.
I think so. The craftsmanship is top-notch on this thing. I've only had it on for a few days so I can't say I've noticed that the car is more stable, but it makes me feel better
I ripped the stock undertray off years ago because it was too much of a hassle to remove.

Yeah the stock thing sucks. I had thought about making my own like that one guy did (can't think of his screen name at the moment) but I kind of want to just buy that and be done with it..
Got my car inspected by my insurance adjuster after I put in a claim for the damage done to my car when I took it to a shop.
Right now the damage is estimated at about $1300, but I'm trying to get them to also cover the damage done to my front lip when it was being towed to the shop... My deductible is $500 and the claim won't raise my insurance, so I'll probably take it either way.

Not something that I did to the Evo this time but still wanted to share. I was able to buy back the Mustang that my dad and I had started building. We only got the motor finished before he passed and I decided to celebrate the only way appropriate.
