looking good mate, i love this thread, The engine is nice, but if i where you id have the bay painted black at there is too much grey popping through all the blue, maybe do a wire tuck aswel, if you can arsed that is.

Yea I was thinking of hiding all the wires, what would the beat way to do that?
As for painting. Could not see me doing that. Well possibly if my engine went then I could paint the bay when it's out

You could just remove the loom brackets on rocker cover and push the wires down under the injectors... thats what i have done and looks alot neater. nit sure on the rest as they would need re-routing.

So i sold my alloys cause i couldn get a damn cap to suit/fit
bought these yesterday just refurbed an painted an brand new tyres




As i mentioned car was to low on the big tyres
so this morning after i left the cub to school i took into the car, hasnt moved off the jack in a few days

Coilovers down rightly but loads more threads left somehow


Rears out to clean


all built up an raised


looks alot healthier now, bought alloys an fitted them late at night
seen straight away it was to low, rear tyre just touching the arches, front touched when a bump/pot hole/crater was hit

happy now i can see the difference

aww i no :sad:
my old wheels looked alot better than these, but these were refurbed with brand new tyres, they are like new, but there just not my old wheels, only problem with them is that i could not get a centre cap to suit/fit

 

[McFall1984]

So im not keen on them alloys, just something doesnt look right

I know every Evo has these but i like them



and im trying this

 

[McFall1984]

So i've been getting bits of parts together to get the car finished

Showing error as I havent got sensor connected. Just wired up to light the gauge

My new turbo timer




Relay stainless cover tomatch the rest of my bling


Finally my manifold





My bonnet vent was removed to get painted and i lost the flippin thing so luckily i got these on ebay for £34 delivered





next step to start fitting the turbo an all bits an get the car to mot

 

[supamario666]

Looking good! Some parts to go at there!!!

 

[McFall1984]

aye an way more to come
pillar pod, dash pod, 2 more gauges, intercooler hard pipes, hks dump valve, coolant stainless cover

think thats it lol

 

[McFall1984]

New parcel today

My triple 60mm dash pod



HKS dump valve arrived yesterday along with more bling

 

[McFall1984]

As i've had the evo off the road i've gathered alot of stuff for it
decided to go down the few days i had free an tinker away at it

Bought plasma dials as i seen them in a amtes civic coupe an said i'll have those someday




Then i started to feed all the wiring from sensors into the car for gauges, then started working on the new turbo timer aswell






I've just set the gauges in to see were there all going, have 5 gauges here, an debating what gauge i want were, so once all the wiring is in, i can then think about what gauges are for the pillar an what is going on the dash pod
Have also started looking at a new headunit, but unsure what to do yet, so im left with quite a hole for now lol


Have the block ready for a bit of paint to clean up that, then we can fit the new manifold an turbo
once thats fitted then the boost controller is next to fit

 

[McFall1984]

also a wee pic of the rota's trial fitted
but these are now gun metal grey, i've got word there ready to lift from the paint shop later today so i'll upload new pics of them



sticks out a wee tad
