actually the evo1 came with 510cc injectors as well, as did the evo2/3 but you can find some that have 550s on them.

just a quick question
why RHD? All tolls, car garages etc are made for LHD
This will make live much more easy

drive thrus and bank atms as well haha We are lucky in san antonio to not have any Tolls and i have a two car garage so parking isn't a problem. I usually don't eat fast food and when i do i usually just eat inside. I've never really had a problem with it being rhd, but i do get asked alot of questions and stares. Alot of people have never seen a rhd car besides their mail carrier so they always ask me where i got it.

The main reason i did the rhd was because i had all the parts to do it and do it right. If you look at it closely, it's very hard to see that the car was once LHD.

You did a nice swap...
The car looks almost mint except I think the yellow might be a bit nicer than the factory yellows I see here.

Just as an update.

I ran a new best tonight of 13.384 on that 15psi bleeding back to 12 or so. New tires are in the works this week and I might squeeze one more PSI for the next run.

Is there a track near YOU? As in have you tested it?

There is a track near me but its about 45mins away which is sorta lame.

It's taken alot of time to get it as close as possible to an early evo, and ive done everything with the help of my friends including the paint haha. In pictures the paint looks nice but up close you can tell that i messed up the clear coat. I plan to get it professionally worked on and repainted black.
