Register on the evoM forum, You should be able to find a stock evo wheel for about $150-200.

Guess ill jump in

Timing Belt Job
Kevlar Belts, OEM Pulleys and tensioner, GMB water pump, clear timing cover
Fixing Oil Pan leak
Evo oil filter housing with external air/oil cooler
Brake ducting (Guess what, our stock fog lights fit 2.5 inch ducting perfectly and tightly)
Brake Pads (altough id really like to get a seperate rotor and pad combo just for the track)
Redo AFPR SS line, new return line, pull fuel pump and check
Catch can setup, thinking of just one catch can between breather and intake with no filter on catch can, new OEM PVC and getting a check valve for it.
Tial 38mm o2 housing setup
Meth Injection install
Tune Tune Tune Tune Tune
Possibly doing the Evo steering wheel with airbag, anybody got wiring diagrams?




Support Marti and the rest of the VIP Garage crew for helping me get the parts and help I need to keep this daily driver on track and get to class everyday. Keep an eye out for Marti's/VIP Garage 2g time attack progress as he will be prototyping many new Road Racing Parts for the 2g.

I'm doing a full refresh on my existing shortblock. All seals, torque/specs, surfaces will be cleaned and inspected. Then I'm getting my 1G head built with some BC valvetrain, 280/280, and a fresh mill. Whatever my plans (and finances) take me, I might convert my 50 trim to externally gated or get a BW S258. My ultimate goal next year is to have a 400-450awhp (low 120's) street car that won't break down. Yes, that's saying a lot

This is my winter project that I just picked up last weekend. The car may look familier:

So you're the new owner... congrats! And take good care of it.

Be nice, now. We get many of our road racers from the ranks of drag racers. When they realize they can run WOT for 20 minutes at a time, four times a day, they often leave the ricers and teenyboppers behind and come over to where the big kids play. Just let him bring his beast to an HPDE one time, and he'll be hooked for life.

Hey, TurboMonk3, drive over to Heartland Park in Topeka, and run an HPDE next spring.

No reason, dude. You may want to turn the boost down a little until you figure out whether it will overheat or not. Run some HPDEs at Heartland Park in Topeka

and get some free driving lessons from the instructors.

We can give you tons of advice on how to get started.

Glad to see JToby's car is in good hands.

Winter plans:

New radiator + fans and from JNZTuning
New control arms from JET Performance

Fix the ecu, some oil leaks, replace the old rubber brake lines with stainless steel lines.

I've probably got more plans for my new truck than the racecar.

Hmmm, there is a track near here that rewards lag with three times a lap!
