I have white too. Embarassed

so lemme know fellas, benefits/downfalls of using a GSR box, diff and tcase etc with an evo engine?

also, where can i get a full syncro set for the gsr box?

janfar · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:49 am Post subject:

Well for one, im guessing the rating for max torque on the GSR box may be lower on than that of an evo box. Why not buy an evo box and tcase and done.

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:07 am Post subject:

well i was just thinkin, since the (correct me if wrong) gsr box would allow more top end, if i modded the 63, it wouldve made up for the less max torque loss and balanced off to be a nice combo.

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:07 am Post subject:

if i decided to go this route tho, where would i go about getting syncros for the 93 gsr box?

Maybe out of the US DSM eclipse that carried the 4G93T engine. Go up on DSMforums and check them out.

janfar,will keep that in mind. finally reaching my cash goals to start some work on the car. how you guys going with yours?

janfar · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:16 am Post subject:

My car sucks and will be sold soon if it doesnt start acting like a car rather than acting like a badiss who will only me pleasure if i supply her with finances and substinence.

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:37 am Post subject:

janfar,hoss, is only now my car start to act like a "car" in truth Laughing

still giving trouble but not to the extent of b4. i thought i fixed the oil leak but checked oil yesterday and seems to be leaking still. just no time these days with work nah.

after all the problems and still more to come, i just cant see myself selling it nah Mr. Green

janfar · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:01 am Post subject:

I used to say that i will never sell it until my bank account started to bleed by the thousands per day. I giving it one last shot at redemption with this FU engine that i acquired yesterday. Have that installed and once she gives me a month of only gas input i will be on. In the mean time, who could get the timing belt kit for me.

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:12 am Post subject:

janfar,are you doing any maintainance on the engine b4 u put it in? change out filters, oils, lines, belts etc? would be good to change a few things so it leaves less room for something to go wrong.

belt kit, not sure, check w2j ?

janfar · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:23 am Post subject:

Yeh. Well, its a front cut. So im pulling down the gearbox and checking the clutch to see the state of it. Changing the release bearing and back seals. Will change all the water line to high pressure high teperature line. I want to change the timing belts and seals in front the engine. All oils and filters to be changed. Any other maintenance to be done will be done now. So when it goes in it will all be well. Well hopefully.

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:27 am Post subject:

YHPM.

But when yuh buy the front cut u take the engine and sell bonnet, fenders, bumper, lights and all the other bits that you dont need. You would make back at least 5k from what you spent.

^^^^ made a trip into the bamboo, just scouting for some rotors for a cs3 and guys right after bobby's there is a place seenath or something so you wouldnt believe the amt of frnt cuts there for 3-5/6 evos prices not to bad either, if you all looking for anything i think there might be a good place to look am sure you guys know where am talking about but in my last trip to the bamboo there cuts have increased so check it out

QG · Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:26 pm Post subject:

Seenaths does have some good stuff...so I heard!

josh.dookie · Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:15 pm Post subject:

Alotta valuable info in here jed... And yeah seenaths is good!

Nik · Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:46 pm Post subject:

Death-Row, thanks...
oh the windscreens cost $1800 in total after discount from double zee... front is $800 got it for $600, rear is $1500 got it for $1200 due to a small scratch which can polish off... oh & the rear is an oem...

yea seenaths have stuff but they also buy from other places in d bamboo & sell back @ higher prices... eg D & D had 2 or 3 complete front cuts (evo 1-3) 3 months ago sellin between 18 - 22K... went bak 2 days later 2 check on something for my GSR @ the time & they weren't there... when i asked my padna there he told me that seenaths purchased 2 & one was sold to a customer... went seenaths same day & saw the 2 front cuts priced @ 30K & 32K... that's y it is always better to shop around lol... not saying that they doh have good things just just saying shop around as this is one of the tricks of the trade Rolling Eyes

Update on my stuff fellahs. I obviouly can't work on my car cause of the nature of my job so i left it the care and duty of a friend who owns a mech shop and i always help out when i am home. When im home, i work on cars at his garage for free and he makes the money, i dont want the money cause i just like doing it.

I asked to buy the front cut, i gave him the cash and payed for a truck and everything. Is one setta excuses, and i dont like to beg for favours, so as a result, my badmindness has led to a harsh decision.

I am going to buy a second car...

I am then going to tear the ass off betsy and rebuild it piece by piece upgrading everything to the maximum level of performance attainable. I know it would take some time as i am doing the work myself. I will be posting my progress as i go along. i want tp build an engine that can crank out 600AWHP. All input would be greatly appreciated.

So in the mean time, would anyone care to go offroad... Twisted Evil
