Perhaps now is the right time to bring back your dreams of a RWD Evo?

Oh, the positive outcome of this is that you haven't blown your transfer case yet due to your tire size issues. So I guess you were right, no transfer case issues.

Wow, I do not know how people can dissasemble their evos like that without shedding a massive amount of man-tears. Looks like it is going to be a good build though!

Hey man, wow cool build dude. Sorry to see the engine took a dump, but I like everything else you have done so far, I'm glad I came across this thread as I think it will help me with my plans/goals for my car since I have similar ones to what you've done. I'm not on these forums much as you can see I'm a brand new noob here but I was wondering if you have a build thread on the other forums as I've been mostly over there lately and I would rather follow this build there?

Man sucks to hear about the car... I hope it gets fixed soon, so we can see some rolling pics. Still your level of metal mastery is second to none

Since you're pulling out the engine for the build this would be the perfect time to gut the tcase and diffs so you can get that RWD going. Also since you did such a good job fabbing the body yourself I bet you could bore out the motor yourself as well. Paulekas custom 2.x L big bore and stroker 4B11T motor.

Paulekas pls make a RWD Evo 10 drag monster that also looks sexy. I have faith... No, we as a community have faith in you.

I expect power levels over 900.0 pls.

Nice build, and sucks for the motor going out on you. Keep up the good work.
