My Evo 6

[vern]

Looks great.


Got to say though, just chuck the arb away and buy a whiteline one! One of the best mods i did

Thanks mate, may look into one of them at some point but for now after all the work on it I will run the OE one for now

Don't blame you, it's just one of those mods that's well worth the money.

So after rejecting a garages offer to fit my blitz exhaust for £50 lol I thought id save my pennies and do it myself........as usual

Car in the air ready for the fit



All done and sounding awesome, not sure why some can't live these systems it's fine tbh and makes the Evo sound like a proper terrorist! Although subtle in 5th gear I found.





One piece headlights and a walbro pump to fit next.

Offered the one piece headlights today, got one in fitted bit of a ball ache tbh faffing around with lining it up drilling an extra hole on the slam panel and trying toget a nut in place underneath it all before drilling out the rivets to actually get the bloody things in place!
No side light though so that's another issue with these to sort.
Anyway one side fitted and I'm liking the look.





Quite fancy an Extreme splitter aswell is any one has a spare

Fitted my Walbro 255 pump at the weekend cheers Rich, also fitted the Blitz induction filter aswell.

Car booked in for re-map with Bob and Lee5 at Dynotech next wednesday so really looking forward to how it performs after.

Oil and filter at the weekend in prep for the rollers

Busy day tomorow awaits me, new discs and pads all round with painted hubs to avoid the dreaded rust look lol

Plus a new Forge actuator to fit in time for remap next week....

More goodies arrived today, a nice quick shift and an AMS shifter

 

[martinthegooner]

Need to see this beast in the flesh

 

[vern]

Been gathering a few more goodies recently including this at a bargain price



and it turned up



Next up fitted my discs and pads all round whilst avoiding the god damn rain :smthumbdo





Then the horrid fiddly job of changing the ****ed actuator to the forge, ballache! Now im set for mapping at Dynotech at last..

Finally had the Evo re-maped today with a mixed outcome but overall happy as the car drives so much better now and is even nippier

As i can only get 97 ron fuel i had to run it on that instead of 99 v power, the ECU also detected knock which Bob found confirmed it was lash adjusters playing up so the car was leaning off thus dropping power

Outcome was 344bhp expected a little more and would have had it but for v-power and lash adjusters not messing about causing knock to the ECU.

It drove home great though, next move is to fit new lash adjusters along with poss mr cams and go again.
Also had pops and bangs maped in but had very little of them on the trip home, these should come though with time...

Fitted my Defi guages today, as they were 60mm i had to file the 52mm pod holder to get them to fit but worth the hassle i reckon.
