the evo 3 swap parts are coming

[TkrPerformance]

got new spacers from craig used to smaller ones to space it out a little over 1/2in. I have now got good clearness on the brembo to rim. I will put it on the car to night to check it all out.

looking great, cant wait to see this beast on the road.

[TkrPerformance]

come to O.C. or any of the other meets it is always there

[AwdGSX13]

well ive seen it a few times, but its going to look mean with the brembo's and the new wheels!

[TkrPerformance]

ok then here you go you want pics of them on you got it

[TkrPerformance]

well I got it put on the car tonight to make sure it will all work. I have 2in of back spacing from the rim to the cusco coils. The rim sits with in the fender still with the little over a 1/2in spacer plates. I used a jack to compress the suspention to make sure also and was all good to go. So it is a full green light for the fronts no I just have to order the good 1/2in spacers for it. I am also pretty sure this is the first early evo with evo 8/9 brembos on it and 18*8 rims. Did it at craigs house sense the girls were doing there wedding invatations
Now to the pics

[craig]

thanks to me of course.

[TkrPerformance]

yes craig helped out a lot

[scheides]

Freaking sweet! Are you going to paint the calipers b4 they go on for good or not yet?

Looks awesome man.

[TkrPerformance]

they will get painted before it all goes on. they will be matched to all the cusco parts I have

[eclipse_spyder]

Looks like you will need extended wheel studs to have the spacers fit.

[TkrPerformance]

as it is right now it was all for mock up sense I can get the spacers from craig and bring them back when I am done. I am going to get H&R 15mm spacers with the evo center ring and they come with the extended studs.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Awesome! My front brakes are making a little noise... haha

[TkrPerformance]

lol. will have to see if your rims will fit also. we tryed craigs last night and it would need more spacer for his

[eclipse_spyder]

My brembo's fit fine with H&R 15mm spacers and extended studs although my brembo's are not the Evo VIII's. My wheels were 18x7+42 offset

[TkrPerformance]

but the evo 1-3 and 1g knuckles are not even close to 2g knuckles. I will be putting the evo 8 brembos on my spyder also. All evo brembos 5-9 are the same caliper.

[TkrPerformance]

some new up dates on the car. Last week I went to the junk yard for parts for the wifes 1g that I did not have. I ended up picking up a mazda washer bottle with the motor in it so I can hook up my fmic sprayers. I just have to order a alky/meth injection boost pressuare switch for it.


Also got tired of the red gas door on the car sense it was the only thing that was red so I shot some primer on it and it looks a lot better now.


Other parts that will be here thus this week
the smim was sent 3 day air from japan for ems pricing
the 1/2 front wheel spacers from H&R with the extend wheel studs
3 auto meter roll cage mount cups for the greddy gauges.
Also picking up a set of tire from a buddy for 150.00 they are 215/35/18 Falken 452's with a few hundred miles on them

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Then all you have to do is press in the 1g rear hubs, right? Oh, and good luck if you hit a pothole

[TkrPerformance]

I have to press in the evo 8 rear hubs make the bracket for the brembo for the back.
Ya I know the tires are small but it is all I can do to get the 18*8's in there. I still dont know if they will fit the rear yet

[TkrPerformance]

the H&R wheel spacers showed up today for the fronts
