BUT.... then i spun another rod bearing on cylinder #3 from hydrolocking the cylinder with fuel when my injector harness melted and shorted out. which cause the injector to spray non stop 




heres pics of the melted wire harness
sad day (apparently the cam sensor ground wire got to close to my hard upper rad pipe and ended up touching and melting/burning all the wires in the harness all the way down to the injectors





luckily it didnt damage much so wasnt much replacing and machine work to do.. soo took advantage and bought MOAR parts

had time to powdercoat my intake mani


got a good deal on this catch can from a member


installed my oil pressure gauge- something that should have been done from the start (its clean tho)

Hey bro great build there. Your evo 8 is amazing.
Just FYI I have / had the same jack at home and a few months ago I had the O ring randomly fail and leaked fluid all over my driveway dropped my car pretty damn fast. Lucky I still had my rims on. I had the jack maybe not even 8 months of light usage? All in all, don't trust that jack like that without stands!!!
