Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Updates:

Here are some pics...they are working on cleaning out the debris from the motor explosion in the intake mani and throttle body. Currently waiting on a washer from SSP for my master clyinder as well and hopefully that solves the leaking problem but I am not too optimistic on that, i think we might have to swap it out for a magnus because the sealing surfaces at that point are just rough and a few other things with the design are going to make it tough to get it leak free but we are going to try.

I am thinking today/tomorrow and monday should wrap up getting everything in and then next week they will start it up sometime...no start up this week i don't think...lots of little shit still but nothing major left really.

And for fun, Jakes (311evo's) car!
I guess they have been idling it and changing oil and stuff so far, should be driving soon i would imagine.

lol, sweet getting closer. FYI there is a test day at RFR in about 2 weeks i believe.

[Murlo26]

I was planning on it, but getting this thing running by then is going to be a challenge...I would expect next week to be early break in at DB and oil changes there before I can even drive it. Hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday I can pick it up and start driving...then the next week would be miles and miles of break-in followed by power tune later that week (sept 30th area).

Just in time for winter storage!

^Honestly, my beater needs new tires regardless, I am getting more and more tempted to drive the evo in winter...it is so much damn fun in the snow.

Just put a battery in mine. I need a CV boot replaced and could use some rear shocks. Don't like spending money on that car, tho.

[Murlo26]

My point exactly...spending money on the beater sucks, but I will probably end up doing that. Once I get out of the money hole I am in now, I am selling this POS for a evo 8/9...then that will be my DD car.

For sure. I'm not the only guy that has suffered from 'upgrades' that weren't.
