@Yahu

California car become too much of a hassle, I give all kudos to Francis, He found the WW MR in the classifieds and BAM i am now here owning an Evo 9 MR! So damn excited!

 

Francis is da man! I think he's on here more than I am...I just have a bigger mouth!

 

is this the same francis - my brother from another mother?

 

Yep, the guy that works too hard to ever go to any meets.

 

Are the swift springs the only springs with more of a drop in front and less in the rear?

1.4 front
.08 rear

Anything in the range of 2.0/1.0?

Edit : I found Tein Springs. They claim 1.8 drop in front and 0.8 drop in rear. That sounds perfect but the guy selling it says its for an evo 9 MR. Are springs designed for MR's different from non MR Evos? Would they fit?

 

Tim thanks for all info.. wow Im gonna keep IX motor yahu.. lol but it like 20k miles on it. and im thinkin gonna built the motor and find Other Wrecked Evo snice im Auto body tech and i can rebuild it up and use for road race track evo

 

@ Hana, hey man i dont know if you remember me or not, I owned the 2005 WW RS a long time ago had to sell it right b4 you bought your IX, because I was leaving for AK. Well, now I am headed back here in 8-10 months gonna need to get in a EVO know anyone with a sticker on one?

 

I can find you one

 

Let me know, I would prefer a WW but whatever, paints paint. More worried about the body and interior if any . Let me know!

 

Like you'll have time to build it!

The 3 main springs people recommend that provide the best handling are the Robispec, the GT Works, and the Swifts. I believe the Swifts provide the most raked drop.

I haven't heard the best from Teins, unless you just want to drop it like it's hawt!

Well you missed some good deals on cars. Chris sold his WW with a lot of fixings for ~$21k and some guy down in Oregon sold a RR with 71k miles, and looked taken care of for under $11k I think. That was in the NW marketplace recently so you might want to see if still available. Good luck!

 

Chris any idea on ur friend with wholesale on the clutch rebuild? The car won't go into any gear now so its shot. :|

I Should have figured a car doesnt shift "hard" or grind because I shifted to slow on it.. "because its a built tranny" :|

That comment u made "I feel bad that riped you off" in a text. really got me goin :||||| ......

Any way enough of my rant, can I depend on you to get me a cheap rebuild kit or do I have to fork over another 700 for it.

 

^ruh-roh, please tell me you tried to solve this in private and this is a frustrated last resort?

 

Tried talking to him about it, and last time of contact was 2 days ago.

I see him posting in here so I figured he would see it. Sucks to spend all ur $$ on a car, thinking its the right one not needing repairs and to hear him tell me to my face nothing at all is wrong with it. I trusted him cause he seemed honest.

I could go on with things I found on the car like big holes through the frame from his roll cage, Needs a valve adjustment from LOUD chatter he said was just cams, but they flutter loud on start up.. but i want to see if he will help at all. Biggest thing that made my decision was it had a "BRAND NEW EXEDY TWIN DISK" that turns out its burnt to ****!!

 

So I'm guessing you have less money to give me for wheels?

 

Ouch - I hope you guys are able to work things out.
