i'm pretty sure there's another purpose of it being so expensive besides the color. i'm sure they have to be lighter.

 

link to said rims so i know what we are talking about?

 

Installed 880 injectors yesterday and got them scaled. Car runs and idles sweet. Now I need to go out and check the tune and make sure it's all good.

I've got all the parts for the 2.3L GT30R setup now, just got the clutch and stroker crank last week. Now that I have the injectors in and scaled that will make the transition to the bigger motor/turbo a little easier to tune at first.

Now I just need to pull the motor and start taking things apart, and get a time established to take the motor into the machine shop.

 

What clutch did you go with? You must be sitting on a pretty big mount of parts by now

 

Seriously, it is just the name given to the wheel. I know there is one type of wheel, forgot the brand's name, but they make true mag wheels. It's hella light.

 

Magnesium wheels are freaking expensive, i dont think i have ever seen a set of true Magnesium wheels on an evo and don't think i ever will.

 

Yes. The thing is, the wheels I was talking about is still Volk's RE-30. The name of the wheels is D. Blue a.k.a Magnesium Blue. It is just the name given by Volk because of the color is BLUE. All the materials used to make the wheels are the same no matter what the color is.

 

that was what i figured when i saw the post, your response to Chris just cracked me up.

 

geesh.. i know one Evo gurl in So Cal.. her boyfriend own JDM EGO or something.., he got her Magnesium wheel on her GG IX with AMUSE TI exhaust and etc JDM

 

Are you talking about a magnesium color wheel?

 

fully magnsium wheel.. i dont remember ill find out...

anyone see my Nova at W1 BBQ?? what u think about it!

 

The pile of parts take up an entire shelf and then some. I still need to create some new lower intercooler piping for the GT30R, and I may build a vertical flow intercooler setup with super short piping. But that's not really required to get the car up and running. I guess I still need oil lines for the turbo also, but I'll get those when it's time for the install.

I just got an ACT Xtreme steet disk, with their Prolite flywheel. I'm really easy on clutches so I don't need some crazy race clutch. My stock clutch has 100,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I just need to be able to hold a little more torque.

 

u kiddin me u alrendy over 100000 miles on ur evo?

 

You have 100k miles on your stock clutch???

 

My EVO is a 2003, that I bought in early 2004 and have been putting around 100 miles a day on it driving to work since then. There was a year when my commute was 10 miles, but that only lasted 1 year. I drive my EVO.

My car has been tracked, road raced a bunch, never had a problem. Clutch is still original and totally fine, I don't launch the car, and I know how to shift. In fact in 100K all I've done is the standard oil changes, fluid changes, plugs etc. the car has never ever been to the dealer.
