Single digit Auto 1g street/strip build

Beautiful build, you might want to consider sending you head to Darren Thomas to get O-Ringed !

Thanks sir!

If it ends up pushing I am having him do it. I have had really good luck in the past with two flat surfaces + OEM MLS with a good set of studs up to 44psi on a 62mm. I figured I would do the same with this car, especially since the 6 bolt studs are much beefier than the 7 bolt

I've seen several people claim the evo heads are much more rigid than the dsm ones. Don't know as all i've had was a 6 bolt, but I can say for sure that years of abuse do soften the heads, and they eventually don't keep a gasket well. Start off with a nice virgin.

That paint looks beautiful, can I ask why you didnt just pull the engine and do the bay at the same time ?

Kool, once i got around 45 psi i could not keep the head on the car.Had Darren hook my head up and never had a problem since.

That could be true. I have a 2g head which is very similar to an Evo head it seems like. We shall see how it goes.

Thanks man.

I'm not really worried about the engine bay being show quality. A family member painted the car as a side job, so it was much easier for him to keep the car mobile to get it in and out of the shop when he worked on it (shop space is limited). I also did not feel like stripping the car and towing it there. I am doing the bay myself with a trim satin black. Should look pretty good.

Very cool. Good to know someone here had success with his work.

Picked up a set of these black housing crystal clear lights. I need to clean them up a little bit but overall not bad

Painted the engine bay. It came out exactly how I wanted.

Got the hood mounted up so I can install the aerocatch latches sometime soon. JMfab race bumper to keep the bumper from sagging also.

Also picked up these wheels i'm going to use for the street. Evo BBS powedercoated satin black.

Hey really good looking car.

 

[Boosted920]

This looks like a Bry nice build. I'd love to do something like this in the future.

Have you thought about using the oem steering wheel horns for the up/down Shift for the auto trans?

 

[Dan90tsi]

Thank you. I thought about it, however I really like the look and the feel of a smaller diameter aftermarket steering wheel.

Thanks a lot man! Can't wait to get it completed and on the ground

White is nice too though.

Evo got picked up yesterday... off to her new owner in Long Island, NY.

This junk is heavy..

I sold the first pair of crystal clear black headlights I had because I found a brand new pair

Time to learn how to NOT f*** up an auto trans.

Get that car done, we are going to the track this sunday in Milan.

Sad to see the evo go

I'd finish it if I could! I'm waiting for some black Friday deals from a vendor or two on here and the block is not done yet.

I'll see if I can make it out to the track sunday

Amazing build and awesome paint job. I checked that car out in Ft Wayne when I bought a turbo from the previous owner. Wow, small world.

Got the front end mocked up.

Started the battery relocation (kit from Summit racing) and got started on getting the ACC black carpet installed.
