Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

A/C sure is nice though!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

it is but it has never worked right to start with. to even try to fix it I have to take the cage out and the dash out and if a motor is bad I would have to try to find one and have it shipped here from one of the UK,NZ,JP evo boards. It is just not worth it to me right now. That and I could use the extra room in the engine bay the 50 trim already sits on the fal fan. there is now way in hell that the gt3582 will fit the way it is unless it gets a 1 off top mount to hold it.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I would say good ridance!! I don't have my A/C anymore, it ain't that bad.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I wanna see a pic of that fmic poking out from behind the grill! Looks good mark!

I love A/C, so does my wife :D

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I drive the truck around freezing my ass off with A/C bumping, then get out and start sweating right away. I also get sick a lot, I don't know why.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

well got the hks twin on today and the tranny back on the car. also got the tranny polly mount in

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I ran dual cherry bombs right off the headers when me and my dad worked on my old 67 Belvedere. They sound very nice for the price.

I've been wanting to do that on my Laser. Just a 3 inch cherry bomb in the middle and 3 inch pipe out the back.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

it is going in the middle some were and I am taking the look alike muffler off and putting on a thermal research muffler. just to try to keep maple grove from pulling me over all the time when I am coming home from work at 11pm

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Haha, understandable. I've been running my 3 inch with a turn down fart can before the rear axle for a bit over 2 years now and have never been pulled over in it.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I hear ya on that. I'm running a Magnaflow and a resonator, and I'm still not as quiet as I want to be. I have a second resonator sitting here I'm thinking of throwing on. If it's still too loud, I may consider some sort of cutout system in the future.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

If it's to loud your to OLD!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Are you ever going to paint this car?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I will not be painting it till next year now. The town house people will not leave me alone. They don't like it that I work on my cars and the city has been out 2 times and the cops twice in the last month over it. So I am trying to not make to much noise ect right now and if we paint it every one would be over in a few mins. The town house has already sent us fines for me working on the cars so we are fighting that right now

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

man that sucks! come paint it in our garage.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

worked on the car today. took the tranny back uot and shimed the clutch folk out for the hks twin. also took out the full a/c system with the a/c wiring. it was no longer charged so it had a hole in it some were and leaked out in the last 2 years.
Also sent out the gt40 to get a smaller hot side for it. I will try to get it all on before the cook out

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Wow! This is going to be sick.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Hmm, that hose and the fittings look very familiar... Why is this? haha

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I have no idea why it looks familiar ;)

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

dad and I worked on the car today. craig and kevin also came by for some beer's

got the griffin scirroco radiator fitted. just have to cut off the water neck and have it welded shut and cut the upper hose fitting and have it come out at a 45 so it will clear the turbo better. Also cut out the full top radiator surport to make room for the radiator so we made a nice flat bar to bolt in and has a 90 piece of steel in on the bottom to hold the top of the radiator.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01041.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01042.jpg

we put in a 2g upper motor mount that we had to mod it to fit with the polly mount
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01045.jpg

got both of the tial 38's on the manifold
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01043.jpg

also picked up a set of hood pins from craig. need to use them now since the car will no longer have a hood latch on it because the radiator is now sitting there.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01048.jpg

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

that evo is gonna be sick Mark. lookin sweeet man.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

got the radiator and water neck back from John(Pushit2.0) to day. big thanks to him for welding them up. Had the upper hose pipe welded at a 45 and the radiator cap cut off and welded shut. On the water neck it is the evo III bottom and a 1g upper and it is also at a diffrent angle so it will clear the turbo when it get's back I hope soon so I can get the car done.

water neck
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01052.jpg
also put in the other evo III water pipe I had since I dont need to run the dented pipe any more. Also show's the new angle for the water neck
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01053.jpg

Dad worked on the radiator. cut some holes in the mounting tabs to install the oem rubber mounts for the radiator and welded in a set of bolts to hold the bottom of the radiator.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01056.jpg
the new upper radiator support. We made it a bolt in so the radiator can be taken out with out taking the top mount off the car. It also holds the front and back of the top of the radiator so it does not move at all.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01057.jpg

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

A lot of work! Looks fun! So are you gonna just use a chip for this car?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

just the chip for now with the safc2. that is all that has been out there for the car. unless I want to run aem or power fc.
But dsmlink just got done with the firm ware for the evo I-III ecu so I will be switching it over soon

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Arg I want to see paint on this thing!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

dad and I worked on it a little today after redoing the full exhaust on the mirage hatch

got the lower radiator hose made and put on
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01062.jpg
cut off the safety latch and main latch off the hood since it hit the new radiator
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01063.jpg
in stalled the hood pins on the car
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01064.jpg
also picked up a set of tial 38mm flanges with some pipe on them already to make the dump tubes
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...o/DSC01058.jpg

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

This thing is gonna be mean! What's your goal for it?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

500+ when I build the 2.4 that I got for free a few years ago

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Jebus, with that setup you should be hitting 500HP at about 4k RPMs haha

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

got the rest of the piping today from craig. so I got the 2 dump tubes made up and on the tial 38's

got the hot side for the turbo today so the down pipe could be started. Kevin came over and helped out huge with fabing up the down pipe. it is all tacked right now I just have to weld it all together in the morring. Put the 2 bung in it for the o2 and wide band and wrap it.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

You're a master of fabrication sir! Can't wait til this is painted!!!!!!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

agreed! looks really good

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

wow! keep up the good work :-D

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I don't see why everyone is so excited for paint..haha, either way it's a cool ass car.
