Sleepydsm's 2006 Evo IX GSR

[DSM1G]

Love that color

[sleepydsm]

Hahaha Yeah, come spring. And a tune. I'm sure I'll change my ... tune?!

[sleepydsm]

I'm so gay. I just saw those titanium dress up bolts you can get... and I want them.

[sleepydsm]

Which lead me to look for other sources of sweet fastners.

Ti and Al fasteners galore. Muahahahhahaha. WTF. Mine are rusty boring steel! Why not throw on some over priced Ti alloy ones! 'Cuz those few ounces ADD UP!!! Bahaha. wow.

[turbotalon1g]

Are you high?
When will you put a bigger turbo on that car?

[Goat Blower]

You should get some of that fake AN looking hose covering at Pep Boyz too, that's dope.

Steve, I know back in your glory days that WAS hot shit! Maybe I can go 80's on the evo?

[sleepydsm]

Ugh, MAP screwed up my spring order. Taking like two weeks longer, grrrr.

Once I get the Bilsteins, Swift Spec Rs, new mounts, and an alignment.

Then the real fun will begin.... Muahahaha

Just depends how much $$$$ I want to spend!

Oh yeah, I'll just be more comfortable in my nicer interior. lol

[Goat Blower]

The weather is too crappy to enjoy new suspension anyways, think of it as keeping your new struts clean.

[sleepydsm]

Kurdy And I took a few (crappy quality) pics a few months ago.

[sleepydsm]

Since then, I bought this :

The ORIGINAL VIN matched OE bumper cover. I do not understand some people...

[b00sted_spyder]

I was wondering when you were getting rid of that ugly bumper. Looks 1000x better.

[sleepydsm]

While cruising to work one day.... My worst nightmare happened! I WAS DRIVING A SUBARU!

I looked in the mirror, and didn't see a flat brim. I pulled over, made sure my wheels were normal colored.

Then I wondered how someone swapped an Ej25 into my car while I WAS DRIVING? Must be those interdimensional beings (aka aliens).

...Or my #2 intake valve spring broke *GRRR*



Which led to this....

[sleepydsm]

In the bag is my shortblock, sitting on a pallet. Next to it is the RTV'd xfer case! (bitches)

And next to that is my tranny.

After having good experiences with John Shep,

I was gonna try Jack's for my evo... But I'm second guessing that...

Current Status:

Head had no bent valves, is at machine shop and has been refreshed.

Bought Mitsu engine gasket set

as well as MAP H11 Ultimate duty headstuds

and ACT HD w/ Sprung 6 puck

Put new "MAP Beehive" valve springs in head.

Waiting on Jim (TalonEvo/Fiero) to sell me his FP4R cams

Kurdy sold me brand new Dunlop Direza Sport Z1 Star Specs in the stock size
(no more snow tires for me)

I have been slow with this project as it has been more late-fall-like than spring. Brr!!

[awd-drifter]

damn, that front bumper looks a trillion times better lol. sucks to hear about that valve spring issue. hopefully all goes well man.
