it WAS, i installed a megan 3" TBE, CX radiator and some other goodies, then suddenly i started having drive train issues like the clutch would stop engaging all the way so i checked the trans and found 4 bolts sheered off and 1 backed out. so my boy took it to work and drilled and replaced the bolts. and now even those are backing out, we are gonna try locktight but... he seems to think that the block might be the problem. that and the rust is unbelievable, i was running wires for my amp and had my hand on the rear passenger floor and felt it "release" pulled the carpet up and there was a hand print depression in the rust. and you can see daylight where your not supposed to in several places. so i am debating buying a 2g shell and swapping everything or just parting the car out or. since the motor/trans/Tcase are all in good shape and i happen to have a colt GT in the yard.... 2000lb hatch, turbo AWD?
the HEAD is on the Evo and she will run tomarrow .... so excited

UPDATE: due to family issues, i accepted USCG Orders to Detroit, i left the Evo at home for the time being and bought a 01 silverado.
BADNEWS:
Right before i was scheduled to leave the Evos main crankshaft bolt backed out just enough for the car to jump time. Nothing touched but we are trying to figure out why it backed out. More to follow.
GOODNEWS:
i happened to be trolling crieglist and came accross a 2005 CBR1000RR for a UNREAL price so i bought it.
