Lol ya but it will pay off in the end. In also replacing the stock clutch with an act 6 puck sprung disk kit.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

it certainly should pay off in the end! I'm living back in circle pines for now so if you ever want a hand with anything let me know

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Sounds good!

I'm doing a lot of running around tomorrow with going to MAP for my head studs, clutch and dropping off my turbo to be taken care of. Then its off to RS for to drop off my head studs and then to the transmission shop to drop off my oil cooler for a thorough cleaning and I'm going to ask them to keep whatever comes out of it just to see what would have been in there. I don't think there will be much if anything in there but just to be safe.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Just got done running around getting parts and dropping them off! Now getting my oil cooler cleaned.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Oil cooler was clean with nothing in it! better safe then sorry..

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Nice.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

That is unreal! Good luck man!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Thanks Chris

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Any carnage pics yet?

Re: Chris's Evo
 

There wasn't really any carnage.. Just the bent trigger plate that was making my spun bearing noise.. Ron said the rod bearings were starting to spin anyways so it's good that I took it out. I guess the previous owner starved it of oil at some point..

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Picked up my motor and clutch and turbo and dealer parts like fluid and gaskets!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Awesome, get it all back together now! :-D

Re: Chris's Evo

Re: Chris's Evo

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Some progress

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Looks like you got alot more done after I left.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Ya I kept on going

Re: Chris's Evo
 

If the gasket is the same as a dsm SEARCH my thread for the part number of a water outlet gasket I used that is the perfect match.

Re: Chris's Evo

Ok so... Dun dun dun.. MY CAR IS ALIVE!!!!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Nice!! How's it running so far?

Re: Chris's Evo
 

So far so good! No issues. Knocks on wood :)

Re: Chris's Evo
 

I put over 50 miles on it today with no issues and babying the hell out of it besides the vac pulls that I did.

I got oil to do my first oil change at 100 miles! I'm also going to be picking up some evo 9 gsr wheels with some winter tires!

P.S yes at this point I'm going to drive my evo in the winter...

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Woohoo!!!!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Awesome job on getting it up and running so quickly!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

It was 1 month and 5 days... Not that fast.. But thanks anyways ;)

Re: Chris's Evo
 

I put 125 miles on the car and went to do my oil change and the tcase fill plug had fallen out! I ordered a new one and that should be here on thursday. I also picked up a set of evo 9 gsr wheels with michelin xice 2 tires on them from Ron today!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Haha thats still decently quick for how busy life seems to get. You driving the 2g when the evo was down?

Re: Chris's Evo
 

Holy crap luck is with you!

Re: Chris's Evo
 

I was actually driving my mom's 2000 s10 blazer.

I'm thinking its leaning more twards bad luck if any... but the car should be back on the road on thursday after I pick up that fill plug and gasket.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

thats a heck of a lot faster than me lol. my cars been out of commission since the middle of june lol.

Re: Chris's Evo
 

haha. Well I got the car back on the road yesterday and its way different. When I originally got my car together I it was VERY hard to drive and I thought that the new ACT 6 puck sprung disc was the problem and I hated it.... Anyways after getting fluid back in the t case and back on the road everything was perfect and the car drives like a dream!! so excited to finish breakin on this thing!!
