RESURRECTION!
Been a long time now with a long story and I almost gave up. Crashed my IX/MR from black ice and steep banks in mountains doing 40kph...3 years ago now. I messed up and insurance got to shaft me so been sitting on wreck waiting for day I got a roller. I'm in Canada and imported the car so this is an extra PITA. Canada changed laws so it's now illegal to bring in roller for rebuild, ugh.
I was getting ready to be sad and bite the bullet and sell my wreck but have still kept my eye on what's available in Evo world all over N.America.
Lo and behold
Wonder of wonders
Guy has an 8 that he blew the motor and builder shafted him.
Roller is for sale.
IN CANADA!!!!
So I need a new oil cooler, that's the only part that isn't any good from either car, suggestions?
Oh right, totally frickin' bought up that roller and it's gonna be in my hands in days!!!!!!!!

3. Get some 18" wheels so I can swap on the Evo X brakes and move up to a 275 tire.

4. As many track days as possible, starting in June.
Trans is on. Haven't touched the splitter. Bought MR rotors for the brakes, now selling the whole setup. LOL
Looking forward to track days since I graduate in about five weeks.

Did you/are you doing inner fender work for the 275s? I'm likely getting 275 or 285 MPSS to replace my current 265 Bridgestones and haven't had to hammer or grind anything yet but am preparing if needed.

If you want them to fit properly, you'll need the right offsets and a roll or slight pull for 275+ tires.

Fenders are rolled but no pull. Car isn't super slammed by any means. Haven't had any rubbing issues with my current tires and alignment. I do expect to do SOME extra work going wider for sure. I'm pretty sure I'll be hammering inside the front wells at a minimum.

One last tune hopefully and get as close to 600 whp and that is it for me!
I love my Evo and everywhere I go everyone is asking me is it for sale when there's no for sale sign
Now that it seem like my motor is gone. Built bottom end is the newest priority and get it back on the road before the summer end.
