man peope are stupid down in the off-topic chat area......

 

^^ also do yourself a favor and NEVER post int the off topic chat here on evom. they are f'ing retards down there!!!!!


man and still wonder how america became so freaking dumb?

 

ok so not much to update, but it seems like the last 2 computers ive gotten (older g5 mac and a dell d400 laptop) both of which have given me nothing but headaches the last few weeks. but i spose its what i had coming because like about a month or so ago i punched out like 15 without any hassle.


anywho i think im gonna build a 4g94 engine. i wanna do the g64 swap but for the time and money that i dont have (thank you taxes and thank you student loans!) the g94 is gonna be a better option i think for me (i found a few about an hour north of where i live for $150).

I was thinking about the swap but it would be nice just to own the evo, I thought about turboing the lancer selling it for about 6-7 grand "hopefully a teenager lol..." Put a down payment on 03-05 evo 8 and boom get a loan, there selling down here for about 14 grand easy with 20 k miles. How much do you think that swap is compared to buying a new car?

 

Holy crap!!!! talk about off topic. I have no problem with mac or windows, I started out on a mac but use windows just... because, I would run either or. Man I cant get over that thread geez... lol did you figure out your gauge?

 

i figure around 1500 for engine, pistons, rods, head studs, and other misc crap. i wont ever sell my car sinc i already have wwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much money into it and i have a lot of design work into it as well.


ya i soldered in 2 new led's and it still didnt work so which then means that its something on the board. i bought another greddy boost gauge from their outlet site on ebay and im gonna harvest the board out of it since its a white faced and i want the black faced.

so heres one for you all, and as the famous redneck saying: here hold my beer and watch this.....

this is whats left of my release fork tonight. its been hard to shift into gears the past week or so and i thought i was low on trans fluid. i got 4 qts of amsoil 75w90 coming, and i thought i was low so i found a bottle i had left over from the last time i did my trans and filled her up. well that wasnt what was wrong. the rest of it is still in the trans, and now i got to order the part and also to drop the trans and get the rest of it out and to also to replace it as well.



josh

 

Wow bro did you buy the car new? I don't care how hard you hve been slammin that clutch I have ne er seen a clutch fork snap like that crappy.

 

i bought the car used in 05 with 44k on it. had to replace the trans at 124k (24k being turboed due to bad syncro(s) or bearing(s). didnt know didnt care so i just replaced it). the trans i got in there now is off an 04 oz rally and was pulled off at like 60-65k. i have put about 20k on it since i bought it.

it is under a lot of pressure but i dont thnk that my clutch (act mb8-xtss) and everything else is to blame for that. i mean some of it does but this is the first ive snapped one in all my years of circle track racing and stuff like that.


josh

 

Hmmm... my guess is something happened that impacted the clutch fork at some point weakening it. Oh well at least its an easy fix

 

well easy to a point. 3hrs to replace a $45 part and a case of beer, maybe 2.

after looking at it closer today you can see a lighter and a darker spot on the casting which looks then to me that it was weakend at some point in time and i just finished it off last night.

 

Time consuming yes but easy enough

 

well that and its only a $45 part. not $500 the last time i took out my trans (i grenaded 4 syncros in there).
