Once I get the new top mounts it will be lowered in Tein Coilovers.

 

Hey mate, cheers, for that.

The 2.3 Stoker is good, really strong & reliable. The company that was building it ran the same spec & had 800bhp from it.

It gives a good low down torque power as well but I am going to do a full new big valve head with wilder cams, along with 1000cc Injectors, 4" Intercooler & big turbo.

Why not go for a 2.2 re-build, they can rev a bit more than the 2.3. I thought it would be cheaper over there for the parts etc. I was £10,000 for all the work on the engine etc but that was all fluids, engine in & out, mapping, fuel, labour & parts.

wow thats sick car is clean

 

the only evo we can import.. is the 8,9 from the US. but that is only a new development, law changed maybe 4-5 moths ago or so.... which is what i did with my 8. but its a bit of paperwork and a little wait time... but we can import any other car from any country as long as its 15years old... so that means we could import an evo 1... thats about it. as i have done also with a '92 subaru impreza wrx from japan....... and of course there is the 10 which is sold here like normal

 

Well I was off to meet someone on Saturday that I sold some parts to & a couple of miles from where I was meeting him I got the dreaded turbo no boost & hate seeing any of my cars on the back of a recovery truck






I still have no idea how it managed to destroy the inlet as I cant find anything that could have caused it.

 

i liked it better before the carbon hood and trunk, just my opinion. YOur car is so sexy though, the evo 6 is my favorite, i wish so badly that we had them over here in America.

 

thats crazy what happend to your turbo, was it just from too much power/ boost on the stocky? cause that thing was DESTROYED.

 

The carbon is all off it now apart from a few bits (exhaust trim & vortex)

The turbo was only running peak 2-2.2 bar mid range then tailed off top end, I think some how something go into the turbo but no idea what though.

 

what problem haha

 

Beautiful car.

 

im jealous...

 

I serously wish I had the money to buy a III or VI as a track car...makes me angry, still love yours though

 

ah not the turbo, but gorgeous car its got a lot going for it

 

Nice Car!

 

Hey folks, not been on for a bit as had a few things keeping me occupied so here is a small update.

Car was in Wallace Performance (Where I am temp working as my Oil & Gas job fell through) got the following fitted when it was in:

Hel Braided Clutch Line
Hel Braided Front & Rear Brake Lines
Tein Type Flex Coilovers inc Top Mounts & EDFC Controller
Cusco 3 Point Front Brace
Cusco 3 Point Rear Brace
Rexpeed Carbon Bonnet Lifters

Car looks a lot better & handles a lot better to.

Before that I got my std 17" OZ Superturismo painted black & I painted the Brembos black as well.

Gave the car a wash & here are some pics, I removed the front fog lights as well for me to allow more air flow.

Engine bay with front & rear braces







A few of the external























Got a few things to fit to the car:

AP 6 pot 332mm Front Brakes, just waiting on DBA to get me some new front discs as the AP ones are rubbish.

1200cc RC Injectors, will hopefully order them next week from THmotorsport.

Waiting for a friend to change intercoolers so I can get his APS intercooler & pipework.

Also waiting on new rear Tein top mounts as the current ones are cracked.

Car was mapped the other night as well to suit the standard turbo & made 400bhp & 360 l/b, not bad for a standard Evo 6 Turbo but I cant wait to get a Twin Scroll GT35 on the car.
