jon5698 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 All evos I-VI apart from 200 ralliart I've's that were uk cars, From what i can remember the specs are 3" cat back RSR exhaust, hks induction kit, some sort of bov but i cant find it hks coilovers with adjustable top mounts koyo radiator. Thats about all i think i have just ordered my cat 1 alarm so will fit that at work sometime this week as well as the de limiter. Here is a few pics from the for sale ad until i get home.

Callan Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 wicked man!! by the way looks like it has the stock recirc bov in place,dude who sold it to you is on here isnt he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montanajr Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 f*%k you on about? every one knows about crank walk issues with evo 4's... why would i even bother going on google to find out about it... jeeeez whats spec on this john?jw this is a bit of a n00b q but ive always wondered, all all evos imports? Rofl. I "know" about the issues because I read about it online, I haven't owned an EVO or even have a friend that has an Evo that as suffered from crank walk - therefore I really shouldn't be offering advice regarding it as I actually really "know" jack shit apart from its definition. I "know" about building engines because I have read lots about it, but I haven't actually built one myself - so again I wouldn't offer any advice/or talk about it as if I have experience.

Ryno Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 very nice mate you forgot to mention you have a Blitz rad cap too! what the ARC sticker from? the manifold heat shield?Cal's right, thats the stock recirc bov down by the battery with the red hose coming off it!.... still got a grin from ear to ear as your driving around!?

jon5698 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah that is what is confusing me about the bov, surely the re circ don't dump does it? i am not sure what the arc sticker is off by the time i drove home on sunday it was dark so couldn't look around properly. I will be getting the front bumper off over the weekend to see if there are any hidden goodies on it. It does have a lot of pivot temperature indication stickers dotted around the engine bay which are quiet cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jon5698 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well i have just ordered some new brakes for the car. I had 3G 20 groove discs on the starlet and was very impressed with them, so i phoned 3G up and after having a long chat decided to go with there recomendation of 3G 10 groove discs with ferrodo pads. Came in at £252 which i was very happy with considering the price of discs alone from some places!. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
