cheap evo project

[madhillbilly17]

Hi guys,i never got any decent pics up when i first come on the site so thought i would put a few up of the scrapper lol,brought this evo really cheap locally from a rough estate and it looks like its been abused by a few owns but looked after by the early owner,its my second fun car so its off the road at the mow and i go and do bits when i can get the time,to be honest i couldn't really afford a Evo and always wanted one from way back saw this one locally knocked the guy down £600 on his asking price so it was a done deal

think this was the first pics when i picked it up,lots of sticks all over it that im picking off bit by bit











few stickers gone but still haven't had chance to wash it yet!




not a fan of the rear lights so im going to light smoke them and see how they look









ive been redoing the wheels this week couldn't afford to take them to a company so i brought some paint through a mates trade account for £11 lol









thats all for now will get some pics of the engine soon its proper messy,it is a 4 engine tp5431 but are run it till it pops lol

Poor car,it has been abused,them back lights are shocking,wheels look much better though

 

[madhillbilly17]

yeah im saying that to myself all the time as im doing bits to it how can someone let it get like that,all the stickers are gone now and its had its first wash




rear lights are looking better





next i think im going to mop it with some G3

 

[madhillbilly17]

oh and under the dirt i found a make written on the exhuast,i have know idea what this type of exhaust should sound like as its blow really bad and sounds like a tractor,anyone know if they sound any good?

Bit of tlc and this could be made into a nice car

 

[madhillbilly17]

Thanks will try my best,just taken some of the interior out and G101'd it now drying in the spare room

 

[martinthegooner]

Thats the make HKS, Super Dragger

 

[Tom2741]

Cheap and Evo in the same sentence. Naaaa lol

 

[Billy MR]

Tom, how's your 4 ?

 

[Tom2741]

Still in the shed waiting for me to stop pissing about with the Mak n change the ecu lol.

 

[Billy MR]

Just get it sorted, you got to do something who all that money you've got

 

[madhillbilly17]

the cheap is referring to the price i paid for it,not how much it will cost in the future.

 

[Billy MR]

So what's your future plans billy?

 

[madhillbilly17]

just to get it up to std really,not going to do anything other than maintenance to the 4 engine drive it till it pops then fit a later engine,then i will probably go for more engine mods, i plan on keeping the car a long time so who knows what it will end up like nice and clean i hope

 

[madhillbilly17]

took the rest of the interior out today so will be G101ing again tomorrow,didn't find any yen just a piece of some work trousers and 3 pieces of paper with Japanese writing on them,its looking pretty bare now

 

[Tom2741]

Glad to hear you're planning on spending done time and money on it the 4 is becoming a dying breed!

And you must be having a laugh Billy, I Havnt got any money! 2 Evos, a house, a dog n a wedding make sure of that! You need to give me some of yours!

 

[madhillbilly17]

Haven't updated this for a while as i went on the mlr and forgot i start one on here,i'm not a member on the mlr anymore and refuse to pay to get hassle off the fools on there,so thought i would give this a update.

are try and keep it as short as possible lol,once i got the car over to the garage i checked the crank and it had 1.7mm end float! block was foo bar,so the engine come out

trolley didn't like it lol




swapped everything to this




engine back in



on start up running for 2 minutes it suffered a lack of oil and seized a cam,thought at first it wrecked the whole engine and in hast removed the engine



I had a evo 7 block with a stroker crank that needed a rebore so thought i would rebuild that






skunk2 rods rated at 950+







engine ready to go back in



engine back in



and that's where im at,tried to bleed the clutch but found the slave cylinder was leaking,waiting for a new one to come before i can put all the hoses back in.

 

[madhillbilly17]

update! The car is back in one piece just waiting for the running in oil to return up and need to fit the ecu,then it's off to the mapper.

 

[Satoshi-5GSR]
