the evo 3 swap parts are coming - Page 3

TkrPerformance · 10-12-2006

well I am now pissed off
all the parts that are missing made me mad but I can find them easy
but the big thing is I just got the motor down to the long block and it has crank walk it moves a good 1/4in. Call the co. up and talked to them and they are going to check there other front clip to see if it is good and see what there boss want to do to make it square with me. From what the guy said it looks like I will get a new clip for free.

That sucks dude! Good luck!

Man, that is gay as hell. What company are you going through? You have sorta inspired me to do a RHD swap (240sx, get a Skyline front cut with the I6 2.0 is what I have in mind) and I dont want to deal with all that shit if I go through with it!

Looks cool Mark, I'll have to drop by and see it sometime.

Well out here in Cleveland. Rallys has both left and right side drive-thru's. So if he wants fast food. Rally's out here can hook him up.

Oh and about the clip thing that sucks man. Hope they can square everthing out for ya.

That sucks about the crankwalk but I hope that you get a new one for free, that would be alot of cool spare parts!!! I really really want to see a video of you going through a drive-thru backwards!

Good luck getting the Skyline firewall to fit at all into the 240. and btw, the RB20 is a shit engine. If you're gonna do an RB swap, you'd be much better off with a RB25 or 26. And if you do go with the RB26, you'll need to find a 5 speed from an RB25. Anyways, Mark, I'll be giving you a call tomorrow. I can swing by and give you a hand if you need help with anything.

I love watching this project happen. I wish I had the time, money and know how, but until then, you can do it for me. Sweet stuff!

94AWDTSi · 10-26-2006

How's it coming?

Outlaw1 · 10-26-2006

That's not really my cup of tea, but my hat is off to you for going out and getting into a swap that's not common. I can appreciate it for going out and doing something different. Good luck with your project.

I am is talking to the importer about the motor. They are trying to say that evo motors dont crank walk. but they got a ton of pics of it and a video Itook of the crank moving. Other than that it has been slow I ripped tendins in my left hand so griping tools is hard right now.

At the moment I am finnishing up the weldind on the rad. surport and fixing the sterring hole problem (the boot does not fit) and will be painting the engine bay flat black

92EvilTalon · 10-26-2006

Looks very nice. Sorry to hear about your hand. That must hurt alot but eh...not a project if you don't draw blood.

TkrPerformance · 10-27-2006
