Sucks about the hub, at least it was an easier fix for the fronts. The wheels look good on the car, tho.

And, on a plus, no cars were hit or damaged today.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

No problem. They actually weren't as bad as I expected.

For lugs, you should ask MattD where he got his set last week.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Discount Tire has some decent ones I believe.

Mark, that looks like a PITA!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Can't wait to see it done, sorry to hear about the PITA you came across...

Your brackets look good!... alittle faster than getting them from me!!


I would just like to say... I had black wheels on my evo... before either of you did...

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I'd like to say that I've been spray painting bomber cars since before some of you were born.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

got 2 new rear wheel bearings,front pads,lugs from craig yesterday

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Discount Tire, it was about $45 for a full set.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I got him the lugs for 26 bucks go me

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

the fronts are on the car now. had to mod the brackets alittle bit and make 1/4" spacers the 1/2" ones were to much and made them sit funny and hit the rotor's.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good, I hope from a distance it doesnt look like those are rubber band tires, since you had to get such small tires. I think you should have gone with 17s max because 18s on such a small car may look odd.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I would have but I have 425.00 into the rims and tires so I could not pass it up. also craigs mini does not look bad with 18's and the same tires on it.
Also a 40 would rub on the inner fenders and throw off the speedo

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks great! any full car pics?

Sorry to hear the 1/2 brackets didnt work! Let me know if you need me to do anything else... I'll work faster this time...

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

not yet it will be a few days still have to finnish the rear

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I just wanna say, this is really freaking cool. All you DSM guys should do this, the factory brembos on evos are awesome!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Brakes look good!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I like the metallic black better :D

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

So, I might have missed it but, do you have an approximate date when you are painting the car?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

prob not, just a when he has money moment

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Cool.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

dad and I got the rears all done today. the car is on the ground. just have to blead the brakes some more they are still soft and get the ebrake to work better.
here is the first set of brackets. redid them a 2nd time with a smaller spacers. used just a washer on the 2nd run of them.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC04701.jpg

also a 18*8 will fit on the rear of a evo I-III arm with 1/8 or so of space
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC04702.jpg

we had to cut the a set of bearing centers for a spacer for the hubs. with out them the hub hit the ebrake.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC04706.jpg

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

the evo I-III arm with the 2nd bracket set up and the evo 9 ebrake set up
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC04704.jpg
put all together with the evo 9 rear disk and brembo
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC04705.jpg

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I those those calipers were from an evo 8?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

they are evo 9 but they are all the same from evo 5-9

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

dad,kevin,and I got them all blead out and got the ebrake fixed so it works really well. The evo 9 cables were longer than the evo 3 ones. I still dont like the brake peddle so I am going to pick up a evo 8 master and swap that in. also will pick up a set of rear s.s. lines for it.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good, love those brembos.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Finally! Lookin good, now that paint and that thing will be pure sex!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

That shit looks good as hell even without a paint job on the car, i think its a good thing, because if that car had a paint job 99% of viewers would instant nut.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

to late

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

That looks awesome mark! Cant wait to see it in person Looks great with black wheels!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks great! Size of the wheels on that car doesn't look too bad either.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good! Its torture waiting for this thing to be one solid color. lol

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Holy shit those 18's look like freakin 20's on that car! Bawlah!!! What tires did you end up going with?

Looks bitchin man. Stop a lil better than the old setup? :D

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Nice!! Looks good.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

they are the 215/35/18 that I got from a buddy for 125.00 with 200 miles on them.

the car stops like crap right now it is no better than it was before. I have a evo 8 booster and master on the way to fix that problem. The evo III master does not push enuff brake fluid to make the brakes work the way I want them to right now.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

just picked up a evo 8 ecu off evom from a vender for 110.00 shipped

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good but I think the wheels are too big. It makes the calipers and rotors look small. Those tires look thin also. I'd go with 16's if I were you.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I am guessing the wheel size was choosen to be able to fit the new brakes in so he can't go much smaller.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I'm pretty sure 16's can fit. My Brembo's, although they are not the Evo's calipers, can fit 16's. 16's makes your brakes(caliper/rotors) huge!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

16's would not fit over evo brembos, hense them comming stock with 17's with very little clearance.
