yeah, the evo 1-3's (even 4s) dont get much of this sort of love anymore, sad really.

Here is a couple of (bad) pics of the dump and screamer pipe back on, This hopefully should keep the sump (and the oil in it) a little happier/cooler.
I'm just slowly chipping away at the little things now.









also,These are my new rear lower arms on the way from racefab, they are off getting powder coated at the moment, hopefully not too far away.

A few more little things ticked off today, M800 ecu plugs picked up ready for the new engine loom.

I also picked up the start of my bonnet venting system. it is still a work in progress but the plan is for these on each side at the front and to modify the original centre vent once the ducting is done for the radiator,it might be tricky with the exhaust manifold position but something should be doable.










I wont be going to far on any further aero parts at this stage until the new WTA rules are released and a decision is made on the class to run in (new rules pending)

Happy days, My Racefab tubular trailing arms are here. They offer extra inner wheel clearance (I think I will get close to a 10" on the back now), half the weight,bolt on provision for brembos, and bolt on rear wheel bearings for the later models
