New/Old Evo from vivid to Full-Race

Just figured I would throw up a thread since im pretty new to the evo world but been in the scene a long time...My name is Jake and Ive been racing honda's for years and am just about done rebuilding my sfwd 42r car.

Anyways I bought this car about a week ago: It had a whole assortment of issues going on with it.





https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=261979

The car had A LOT of issues, but had A LOT of money in usefull parts, just needed some time, some changes in parts, and of course some money , so it was a good buy for me!

I already have the whole car ripped apart, engine, wiring, fuel system, nitrous. Pretty much everything needed to be redone and made right with the car. The car is truely going to be built into a monster with a lot of new product. ETA = 30 days.

Thanks!!

Let me know if you have any questions.

it had a cosworth head on it before, but the car was blowing head gaskets over 600hp. I sent the head back to cosworth and they said the aluminum was softer then there tolerances that could have been one of the issues on extreme high heat and 35psi. So I just bought a new head since im trying to make 750++awhp and swapped all the valvetrain over

So I have the old cosworth head bare with cam caps, no valvetrain. I think I'll just put it on ebay with no reserve since I dont know what to ask for it lol
