Stop whining and keep it.

 

How is me stating I finally have the car with me on the East Coast whining? lol

 

I was referring to all of your posts about the recent time line and selling it...lol

 

You mean the one set of rings? I did a bunch of vacumn pulls and decels in the 2 miles I drove the car from the transport truck drop back to my house (no way that truck would fit in our neighborhood streets. Unfortunatly after tomorrow I cannot drive the car anymore as my California reg is only good until the end of October. Next is getting NJ plates and inspected, which I am going to try and do before the weather changes to winter. Need to throw the cat on and make sure the ECU is okay. Currently have a camshaft sensor code that I need to chase down.

 

Yea, still going to put it up for sale. Not in a rush to sell it so I'll just post and see what happens.

 

Started the clean up process. Have to say it still looks pretty good for six years old. I guess it helps it has been sitting for more time than it has been running.

 

In my opinion your car is more desirable and valuable than most of your NJ local Evo X’s . It’s a Cali car that’s never seen snow/ salt and probably had a clean rust free underbody.

Please do not drive it in the snow/salt.

 

Agreed. I don't plan on driving it in winter conditions here. It saw snow two times in California but they don't use salt there so no worries.

 

Are you selling it as is or has all the oil/turbo issues been fixed?

 

Continued the cleanup...

 

As a fellow NJ Evo X driver for the past 5 years, this is 100% true lol. The salt/snow from the roads completely tear up the underbody. Kinda wish I had a second car for a DD and have the Evo for weekend track usage.

 

you gotta - same story in IL, horrible salting. i let my corolla take all the beatings and leave my evo and m3 in the garage for the winters

 

All fixed.

Cyl #3 has new rings
Turbo has a larger drain fitting at the turbo (that was done last year)

 

I swapped out my front track ST47 pads to put my stoptech street pads in. I continue to be impressed by the Stoptech Trophy kit. First of all, you don't have to deal with those damn caliper pins anymore to swap pads and secondly, I have two track days on these ST47 pads, one of which was on a 5 mile track in 90F+ temps and the pads literally have barely any wear.

I will measure the pads this weekend to see just how little. Very impressive.

 

Best part of black wheels is that you can touch up any curb rash with some model paint, lol! ;-)
