I will be Posting Pictures very soon and will be updating project on a normal basis. currently are in the process of removing the 6 bolt out of the car to put in the almost finished built 6 bolt. I'm looking to have the car finished by the end of february and will be running the car at the 18th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout At Buschur racing also plan on putting the car on the Dyno. Wish me luck and any input will be helpful.

I have a couple videos That i need to upload .. I am sorry to say that yes i am parting it out if the shell does not sell then it will be built again with something totally off the wall. But he reason for parting it is nothing mechanical just cant get the idea out of my head about buying an Evo or a 97 Supra

 

[chronister76]

Way to go!!

god dammit, i dont like you right now................ go with the supra at least please evo's are all played out.

*sigh*

 

[Boomdeeze]

Wish I had the cash flow to be able to choose between a mark 4 or an EVO.

 

[95eclipser]

dislike!!

 

[TofastForU_99]

It is very hard for me to part with this car I almost want to cry every-time I get payment for a part and then have to go take it off. But i do think that I might keep the rolling chassis and just give her some sort of an power plant upgrade. I am really leaning towards a supra I have been looking at a 97 black on black all stock one for now... But man i love AWD and i love evo x's

 

[95eclipser]

nope nope not allowed to keep the shell.

your killing me man, you were honestly the last person i thought would get rid of his car. since you just finished it.

 

[907dsm]

make me a good deal on those cams please...

 

[rimmbrme]

damn another part out? it's getting sad in here..

 

[EclipticalGS]

If you have money for a supra, why not make your car run 9's, go all out. Supras are nice but nothing beats a 9 second AWD car that weighs in @ 2900lbs as opposed to 3400lbs...

 

[shockracer]

pour a 40oz on the ground shoot her one time in the head then scrap it. so sad i was hoping to hear more about the build then this. Sigh

Thats what my plans are with the car if i dont sell the shell. I plan on doing a crazy Manley rotating assembly billet crank i beams and turbo tuff pistons and a crazy turbo setup. and attempting to hit 9's

and being a co owner of Strictly Import Motorsports we have around 10 DSM all 2g's sitting around all getting different builds so just because i stop the build with this one does not mean im leaving the DSM community.

 

[EclipticalGS]

, well thats the only business really in MI is dsm's and subies, Supra's are too expensive, and I only have one friend that owns an MkIV and its just stock. MI economy sucks.

 

[TofastForU_99]

My new ride.... Hope you guys approve

2008 EVO X GSR

 

[95eclipser]

nice ride man, have fun with it. what ended up happening to the gsx?

 

[TofastForU_99]

I ended up parting it out in 1 week Selling the rolling chassis to a guy in IL off ECMLINK. And then I went and picked this up.

 

[dsmboy51]

maybe someday I will get the bottom end...

 

[JayRolla]

I dont approve at all. I hate the new Evo's, they ruined the car. It looks like a soccer moms car now. But still nicer than anything I will ever own.

 

[Clinical]

no evo ever has beat the fastest DSM on the dragstrip, and im just a speed junky

they're definitely more fun to DD though

 

[92AWDHX40]

Sweet alan i love the color, ill have to check it out sometime.

 

[viperlp01]

HAHA allen and I are back to the "free mods" with his evo. I can't remember the last time I did a free mod on my GSX

 

[92AWDHX40]

free mods the first thing i did to my dsm.

 

[TofastForU_99]

Haha ....YES gotta love free MODS... I am trying to Get as much HP possible without voiding the Factory Warranty .... Its not everyday you here that word ... Warranty .. My plans are AMS DP , AMS intake, AMS Cat back. AEM wideband, AEM Tru Boost, AEM oil pressure. And VOLK rims CF lip kit. CF wing. And im still undecided on suspension.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Sounds like a great plan, I like the AMS stuff for the evo and, looking foward to seeing some carbon on that thing. If i didnt get a awd next tsi or gsx the evo would be on my list.
