Saving an evo, from rice to clean.
so we replaced the rod bearings and guess what! still a knock, i had a friend from school tear it apart and he thinks its either a piston, cylinder, or some other bearing. i found another guy with a motor so im gunna try to get it i guess, there goes more money down the drain, fml
If none of your rod bearings were the cause my next bet would be the balance shaft bearings. that would actually not be bad to fix. kind of a PITA but very inexpensive lol
You're a good man for saving that car. I had to do the same thing, although mine didn't have any jackass engineering, it just looked like it might transform into a gay robot.
Ready yourself... From this
To currently this, although I'm about to get all new body panels and painted matte black most likely.

i love that front end when it's for a purpose like actually racing the thing and you have the body parts to finish the look off. as for how it looks with the stock body, hell no.... i'd get rid of that SSQ BOV and just go with the Metal 9 DV which works great.
i just got new brake pads this weekend, not anything special but yeah
id really like to get an evo9 turbo, mishimoto radiator, cbrd tune, and some rota gforces.. but unless i win the loto it wont be happening till summer
I am currently "saving" an evo too. When I was reading your story I was thinking about the issues I have had so far. My wiring was also a nightmare because apparently the guy before me had every entertainment device available hooked up but ripped out before sale. He also spray painted the car flat black which is how I got it for a good price. I thought I could stand it for a while but it has gotten to ridiculous to ignore now. I also swapped bumpers back to stock just because it's more my style.
yeah ive heard alot of people say to get rid of the bov but i really dont have the money right now, my priorities are to get it running right and tuned right now, after thats done ill worry more about cosmetics like lip, wheels, and other little ods and ends. ohh and the bov is really loud, its kinda funny to fly past people and scare the **** out of them
