Evo II from Germany

[tristanGSR]

Hi!
My name is Tristan, I'm 22 years of age and recently bought a 94 Evo II imported from Japan to the UK in 2008. it ended up in Germany the following year and is now in my hands.

It's a black GSR model with some goodies such as Cusco coils and strut brace, apexi intake and HKS BOV, Ralliart gauges and some other small bits. Still running a stock exhaust, stock boost and ECU.

I come from the land of MX5s (Miatas) and currently also own a 2.5L swapped NC MX5 and a early NA MX5. This means I'm quite familiar with rust!! My father had a WRX STI when I was younger and I've been searching for a raw AWD sedan ever since.

I'm trying to restore and repair the Evo back and enjoy it as a summer daily. Currently this is the to do list:

• Transmission, transfer case, diff oil change
• Shifter rebuild, new boost pipe to throttle body, front engine mount MR103554
• Fluid film cavity protection
• Fix previous owners wiring nightmares (no parking and dash lights as of yesterday)
• Injector reseal
• New timing belts, water pump and reseal

Now a pic, don't really have a lot as of now. The thermostat was broken and the roads are salted heavily.

Thanks for the heads up on roof rust. Luckily the car as not got a sunroof. Unfortunately it still has the famous roof rust cause by the adheisive on the inner support beams. Its not terribly bad as of now but i have the knowledge to replace the roof skin and plan on doing that in the following years.
