Where in NJ was this car? I really feel like i know this car.

Kinda wondering if the evo 8 rear lower control arm is the same as evo 1-3. They seem very similar.

Much more has happened since the last post. the battery was relocated to the trunk successfully. The car had a flawless first start and ran perfect. only issue being that I shred 4 alternator belts before i realized the bolt that holds the alternator bracket was just a tad bit too loose. Once I...

Decided to take the Evo to one of the local tracks. It probably wasn't my best judgment to track a car that had nearly 300k on the dash. Long story short. She spit a rod out. The morning ofGot it home immediately pulled the motor and got to workCleaned the engine bay. Before & After...

Finally got around to doing this 5 lug swap on the Evo. Ended up taking the front hubs from a 1g dsm and rear hubs from an evo 8. All new wheel bearings were installed. Got to finally install my TE37 and lower it a little more. I used mitsubishi FTO rear rotors and 2g GSX front rotors.

Little bit of catching up to do but here we go. Got the car inspected to drive in the streets of Japan. The only problem I ran into is having to raise the car slightly. But no biggie.And here she was with her plates.Now I found out I have a 2100 RPM idle after the car warmed up. Ran a...

What did you use for the hood struts? I'm pretty interested in doing it on my car.

So went around removing the cage today to take a look on how it was done. First thing i noticed was that the cage was directly bolted into the chassis and didnt have a steel plate underneath. So I ended up removing the entire cage until I correct that. But I found something unexpected and made...

Pulled some more parts from the parts car evo. Found out where the 4 pot front brakes came from. They are off a z32 300zx. Its a little complicated on how this will work and im not really to sure if i will end up running it at all. But the option is there.They shaved the caliper down to fit...

And the parts car has arrived! I now have spare (blown) motor, trans t case and rear end. Bunch of other necessities as well.Went ahead and pulled the rear harness for the doors. Still need to cut holes into the frame so that i can actually wire it up properly. Saved the grommets the best i...

Correct. Mine did not come with ABS. I do believe it is not a GSR for that fact that the frame dosent even have the cuts for a wiring harness to the rear doors. Someone wired in the climate control all half assed which is probably why the blower motor does not turn off. Thats the conclusion I...

Did some more work today. Found that the harness from the rear doors are still there. Going to see whenever I have time to go to the parts car and take the harness out of that and see if it works fine. :pray:

And the fun begins. First day in I start taking the panels off to remove the gauges. And the wiring for all the gauges is really bad. Typical wiring you see around here for the bases in Japan. So the removal process begins! Under the steering column had the most wiring, one of my friends knew...

Threw in the correct climate control from my parts car. Anddddd it dosent work... I forgot if this was a working unit off the parts car so I’m not sure what happened... but my blower fan dosent want to stop. On the verge of pulling the dash out and rewiring her completely but I am on a strict...
