Clay-bared the heck out of my wicked white!

 

Finally bought parts for it. Now to get the car back.

 

Installed some ID2000's and pig tailed my resistor box. If I had to do it again, I'd get the bypass and plug and play harness, but it is pretty.

 

Snapped my replacement Mivec check valve to the block.

I knew I should have gotten 2.....

 

Started it, drove it down the block and put back in storage. Spring can't come soon enough!

 

New spark plugs, repaired coil pack boot, brake pads and rotors. Just got it back from the transmission shop a few days ago, new clutch disk, throw out bearing, and carbon syncros in the tranny.

Hope that will keep her happy for a while now!

 

Took pictures of her exhaust and posted it for sale.

 

I Remember The First Time I Lost A Throw Out Bearing, With 2 Kids In The Back Seat In The Middle Of 4pm Traffic, WHAT A DAY !!!

 

Claying/Cutting/polishing/waxing a little bit today, finally getting around to getting rid of some swirl marks and holograms I had in the doors. I'd say it's 80% better

 

New set of NGK BR8ES plugs gapped to 0.50 mm.
oh and dialled in some cam (kelford 264) lope at 850rpm with 3 degrees timing on idle.
sounds like a Lion with asthma, magic.

 

You doing that by hand or with a buffer?
If with a buffer what kind?
I've looked up several videos but everyone always does a big flat area like the roof or the hood. I've never seen anyone use a buffer on a door so I'm wondering how you go about that.

I tried buffing my b and c pillars once and it looks really crap now. Lots of swirls and I had some special foam pads, used a swirl remover then Polish and wax and everything. I'm not sure where I went wrong.

 

Installed all this goodness...

 

Starting on the "new" Evo 9. Small incident at Road Atlanta took care of the "old" one.
Pulling the engine/trans today, and that's it for the old girl, the shell is headed to the scrap yard.

 

i'm installing Evo X seat in my Evo 9

 

A surprise last night, looks like today, tomorrow and a few more of what my son and I will be doing.
Delivery from Evasive Motorsports.

18x9.5 wheels with 255 Bridgestone 71 race tires, 4" titanium exhaust system, aluminum radiator, intercooler and tubing, Wisefab complete front and rear wide stance suspension, tie rods, and lightweight mustache bar, Voltex bumpers, fire suppression system, E85 pump and injectors, quick release steering and wheel.

We'll have to use last year's Voltex wing as they said it will take 10 months to build the new one of a kind one we ordered.

One thing I don't have to deal with, a friend is going to handle the complete rewire of the car, with connectors supplied from NASA and Lockheed Martian.

All that and deal with selling off the stuff from the old car, a rebuild of the old engine and 5 speed, and front/rear bumpers and decklid/wing so we can go out and hunt street cars.
