Finally dropped my motor off to get assembled and put back into my car. Have the new wiseco rods and the asymmetrical wiseco pistons going in. Hopefully no nasty surprises.

 

Fixed a previous owner mod, so now it looks better and functions properly Old, cut out factory bezel in the lower cubby....
New hotness! Not perfect, but it's an improvement...

 

love that shift knob

 

Installed fog light on evo. Bright as hell.

 

got an exhaust on it, changed the thrermostat, oil, bigger rad fan with an upgraded radiator, spark plugs, added spark plug cover, new wideband sensor and got sent a pic when I was spotted


also car was missing a ground so added that to and my temp sensor issue of bouncing all over seems to be fixed.

 

Not the way you want to spend a Sunday. Seems Saturday the neighbor backed out of his driveway, without looking, turned too sharply and slammed into the EVO.

Replaced the door with a spare from our last car, found the fender bracket bent, which meant pulling the headlights, front bumper, and side skirt to get the fender off. Since we were in it this far, we decided to stretch the fenders even more. Cut off the bottoms and built new brackets to push them out to match the skirts.

Cripes, what else is going to happen. Car still has to go get wrapped/ lettered, new Voltex splitter and wing are to arrive and be installed this week, and looks like the Voltex bumper may have to be installed when we get to Atlanta for GridLife on the 25th.

 

HUNDREDS of dollars.
Don't wanna put it back in and have a issue, just waiting on a clutch setup.
The important item are new, sensors, seals, rods, pistons, bearings, etc

 

ouch

 

clutch work.

 

Parked my EVO in the backyard, put a car cover over it, tucked it in..
Said good bye for the next month =(

 

Went to install my fancy new AEM drop in filter... But they decided to ship it without the cage adapter... FML...

 

left it home, need to put bumper back on today. just need looking for parts that I need for it

 

added cam sensor shield, painted the rad brackets and upper metal rad hose just need to install it now. and a quick random pic at the air pump

 

Almost done at the body shop

Evo 7 hood, bumper, and wing painted as well as some other minor stuff touched up. Just need the vent and hood duct painted and the car polished.
