GT500, HOWEVER I would consider MR2DSM's EVO. It's very clean and not messed with as far as I know he left it completely stock.

 

No you're right it's coming out this year, Dave is giving me ****...I plan on getting one, but not for 3 more years. He's just egging me on to get one now!!

No plans to mod - just keep it stock and gorgeous

 

denny just buy back your old black MR from the kid at duquesne

 

LOL!! No thanks.

 

 

How is Biaerl when it comes to servicing evos with slight modifications?

 

what kind of service do you mean?

as a rule their evo tech mike is one of about 3 people i would let touch my car. he is a good guy and knows his shxt.

 

Hey Trav,

If I get the hot side drilled out and do the bolt and nut do you recommened any size and grade? Belive metric should be grade 10. Also ordered my t-bolt clamps and got them and ordered those studs from the same place as you haven't received those yet.

 

Hopefully a machine shop will have better luck removing the broken bolt and the 2 studs without drilling.....if they cant, hopefully they drill them out correctly so they can be re-tapped and use helicoils. Then the stock turbo bolts will thread back in with no problem. I just used new oem turbo bolts....

Yeah I haven't heard back from that guy on the stud kits....I emailed him to confirm fitment of the 2G kit and he can put them up as evo too but he hasn't updated the site or emailed me back? I had mine in like 3 days i think?

 

Servicing as in warranty work or just general mechanical work out of your pocket?

I hear good things about Mike, I do all my own mechanical work so I don't have any direct experience but a lot of people seem to give praise.....so he would be one I would probably go to if I ever needed a mechanic

 

Mike services mine and I am happy. My modifications are a step above slight.

 

Front suspension is making a clunk/pop sound (intermittent) when rolling while making a turn on uneven surfaces. I've narrowed it down to the strut insulator / upper spring seat.

It has no suspension modifications, just a TBE.



I replaced mine with stainless bolts, FWIW.

 

That seems to be a somewhat common issue.....my 04 did it and mondo had a similar issue on his 05. One day it went away but traded it in for an 06 for other reasons. I have recently heard my 06 do it occasionally, I have 32k miles on it - I am waiting to see if its just cold weather related because I cant get it to do it at will and didn't do it until the cold weather hit, its just one day it makes a pop and then goes for days without anything.

You will have no problems getting that looked at and possibly warrantied with just a TBE

 

Eric, hows the 37R build coming along? You gonna keep your car?

 

Hey guys still have a few things for sale

HKS 272 CAMSHAFTS
GT3076R TURBO KIT(OR TURBO ONLY)
FIC 850cc INJECTORS
SBR FMIC GARRETT CORE 24X12X3.5

The turbo kit consist's of HAFE Stainless Steel Cast manifold, Garrett ball bearing turbo with a .63 turbine housing, HAFE Stainless Steel Cast O2 housing, Tial 44mm wastegate with both dump and recirculation pipe, 4inch intake with pipe/filter/ and a 4inch maf adapter to allow use of the stock maf sensor. And stainless oil feed line with filter , and oil return line.

The nice thing about this kit is the fact that it will bolt to either the stock downpipe or any downpipe that bolts to factory location , which is almost every downpipe

The Camshafts had made a +28 whp on a before and after with the stock turbo.
The GT30R had gone 11.1's @ 125 mph. It has only seen up to 28psi.

The GT30R turbo is a very good street turbo, hitting 20psi @ 4100 rpm with much more topend pull. I think there is probably another 4-5 mph to be had out of this setup if it was tuned with C16
