Thanks for the good words Corey.
I had plans for an evo3 out here, but thats all been pushed aside for who knows how long now...
And I Still do miss my 88k mile BEAUTIFUL NSW 99 GSX =(
DC1(sw) ValdiviaNavy, march 2001 - current.
E-6 Damage controlman.
2001-2006 USS Bunker hill out of San Diego.
2006-2010 Assault craft unit five out of Camp Pendleton.
2010-2013 USS Lassen out of Yokosuka Japan
I miss you guys.
Evo still is awesome, Corey(gofer) and I still hang out so I get to see my old GSX in a way. He is still using the evo3im that I had in my car. Hope you all are well.
I concur with Corey. You can change the gasket for the Intake manifold in under an hour taking your time. I also suggest if you are going to do the gasket anyway to replace it with a phenelic resin spacer like the one we put on Coreys GSX. I do not know the HP improvment, but I do know that...
My wife HATED my GSX. It was beautiful and tastfully modded, but she hated that I spent so much time on it. It commited suicide about a year ago. Now that I have my evo9 she loves it!? wierd. But shes all about her turbo supra so who know whats going on there.
P.S. I agree, If you can find a...
I miss my GSX =(
She'd have looked so good with that spoiler, eh Corey?
So what soul does your car have now? The one it had, or mine? Its like half and half these days...
I applaud 386-Customs for owning up to this issue. I can understand having a bad first run of a product. I, however, can not understand letting such a product past QC.
Much less 5 times.
Corey,Looks F-ing Bad azz (period)I have to say I do not like the lower Cf part. If it looked more like the jdm rear on the evo I'd be all about it. But the spoiler did come out absolutely gorgeous! I think as good as it looks with red, it would look better on white. but you know me...
About 2 weeks working after work and on weekends. There was a lot of work to it, but it was all easy stuff. All you gotta do is have the right tools, equipment and know how.
Great driving pics of my evo Corey!!:thumb:
Here is my album. Gots some of you in there!

Internally they are identical. mitsubishi made a single part and then modified it to meet several needs. The "stock" casting for an RVR and and evo 1-3 are the same part. when it will be used on an evo they maching the TB port to 60mm and add a small vacum port on the (US)drivers side. All...
Prime85-
That is an RVR manifold. I can tell because its sitting on the giant crack in my garage floor;) I threw away the throttle body that came with it because it was 52mm and actuated on the "front" rather than the "back". FYI an evo3 TB would be almost the same as a 1G NT TB. I noticed...
jjrock5 ,As Daren has said, all I did was rig a new EGR valve to the evo 3 manifold so if anyone looked under there, it would apear to be installed and functioning. Once I pulled my stock 2g IM off, All I did was run vacuum lines to match all the stock lines. I did not reuse the small...
The starter is out as there is a manual tranny going into the car. I did try pushing the key into the crank position just to see what would happen. still nothing.
Rear subframe installed. Had a quick question. I wired the fuel pump according to sources here. I was trying to test its proper operation. I put the key in the ignition and turned it to on. Pump is a 255 and used to be quite loud. Now there is no sound. Does it only turn on when it gets...
Just wanted to check in and say that I am doing this swap right now and it is going very well so far. Gofer and I are doing a bit more than most as we are going from fwd auto to awd manual. We have about 12 hours into the swap right now working after work and on weekends when we can. We have...
the wastgate flapper arm is adjustable. havent heard anyone mentioning that to bring their flappers into spec. i had the housing that gofer now has. it was rock solid and you could set it up for preload with out having to have an adjustable actuator arm.
My buddy had a kick A$$ evo8, sold it for a '03 M3, Rode in my Evo9 after having his M3 for 6 months, sold the M3 and Bought an evo9. Yes the M3 is sexy looking and kinda quick, but having driven both cars, I say evo hands down.I also agree with several posts above:
Where are you finding...
Yes his GST has less parasytic loss, but dont forget that the GSTs have taller gears than we do. A stock GST will almost always be faster than a stock GSX.
(untill you get to the rev limiter of course)
THAT ones not ribbed...:coy:Just FYI. With fresh ceramic brakes and the new SS lines and GSX calipers, Corey's car felt a lot like my EVO9 when brakeing. The evo can brake for a lot longer a lot more times before fadeing, but there is definatly impressive stopping power on the GST now.
Do the smart thing and install a 2G head on your car.:p
(The ports are the same size as the 2G all the way up to the current evo. sounds to me like it was better than the 1G port.)
I'm just glad its going to a good guy. The install went well and the car woke up a bit more. Shes definitely coming together. How is everyone else in this thread? Anthony? Derek? Daren?
Sigh...All I can say is those seats went through a can of meguires leather wipes every 2 weeks.
:cry:Car looks great Corey! let me know when you wanna do the EVO3 intake manifold.-Dan
Got some new EVO-9 wheels.They came with an EVO-9 attached.
So after my car came back as a total loss, and not being able to find another comparable GSX(white,99, black interior, unmodded) I decided that the best thing for me in the long run was to buy a much newer car.
This is an 06 EVO9...
Kinda makes me wonder what happened to natural selection...
you know, when a moron kid would walk across the street as a bus was coming and the situation would just kind of work itself out. Stupid parents breed stupid kids.
On a side note please remember that these kids will be "taking care"...
Tre-
Thanks for the kind words buddy.Derek-
It was back to the way I usually run it, but there were a lot of mods that I had sitting around that I never got to use on it. I had returned to normal before the first dyno though.
I am going to take delivery of it in about an hour actually...
Derek,
didn't say it couldn't be done, Just that there was no easy way to mount the stock coil pack. sorry I haven't been around In a while guys... you know whats going on...
You know I know better than that Sam:p
In all honesty, the whole set up that Corey bought was a hack job. All respect to Corey, he just didn't know what he was looking at and bought it with out knowing for sure. My opinion, buy a GOOD 16g internally gated, go back to his stock ex-manifold and...
Word is in from the appraiser.
Total loss.
I can buy it back for 1,125.
they say I can have 60 days to take the mods off the car (so long as I have the stock part)
they will hold the 1,125 untill I return the car to them.
and the worst part of the story so far is...
they value my car...
Not to mention both wheels where chewed up.
I think Corey should throw that turbo through the guy he bought it froms windshield...
but thats just me and I'm an angry person.:|
News today from USAA is that IF they call it totalled, they will let me remove all my mods before she goes to te big junkyard in the sky.
I would love to buy it back if it does get totalled, but I have nowhere I could store it and work on it. I would have to let her go.You guys want to hear...
