Well it was a great day of racing. Once again the EVO did not fail, it ran so dam good, i had people all day just saying it was awsome to watch. It pulls so freakin hard out of the turns. Now i did almost get a chance to do some body work on one of my laps but, I lucked out.

How's the new rear end working out for you? Did it take a lot of getting used to?

Get under the car, grab the pipe and start shaking the **** out of it.....and see if you hear where the rattle is coming from.

Well got the coilovers out, and all torn apart, and all the suspension arms are out and waiting for the new bushing to be pressed in. Disassembling everything went pretty smooth. Only snag is, the 9k springs up front and the 8k springs in the rear were going to be swapped front to back. The 9k springs in the front are probably 1" shorter then the 8k springs in the rear so I'm not sure if I can just adjust the perches and swap them or do I need new springs. Plus the one suspension arm that has the bumpsteer correction bushing to be installed has a metal collar on it which seems to be connected on both sides, any idea how to take it off, does it need cut off or drilled out or something? All in all got a lot done but still a lot to do yet.

what metal collar, its has the alignment adjusting cam on the inside(where bump steer will be installed into), springs , you should be able to adjust the perches ..you will have to make adjustments later to square the car up...

you're going to have to be a bit more specific than "a rattle".

hell my evo rattles all the time, happens in different spots too. most of the normal, occasionally they are not.
