^^^^ 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

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

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

count me in

janfar but for the second car what are you going a later version or going back the same?

janfar · Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 7:05 am Post subject:

Lol, nah, more offroad than that... Wish i could have another evo, but house takes priority, so a lowly Suzuki Jimny with heavy duty suspension is the call of the day.

^^^^ Still Very Cool dude cheers with that Very Happy

janfar,i myself going through some stress, almost every part in my car needs changing Laughing

these cars are old and i know prev. owners and me dont drive them easy. parts will go bad or have gone bad already.

i myself am planning on i spend my money right now, if i should just maintain it for now or go full on with each part i change to obtain my final goal.

I am hearing what you guys are doing and my suggestion would be to tackle one aspect of the car at a time, obviously you need to prioritise them, e.g. fix all susension issues and then move on

These cars takes lots of abuse and don't do/add more to the damage

always remember a stitch in time saves nine so don't be the one saying, i won the race but my engine is gone

btw, row, your rear rotors, well the lhs one looks like it needs some attention, machine or replace

strange enough the only prob i ever had with mine was the cv joint that broke as a result of excessive drift practice lol aside from that any other problems were cosmetic... lower lip ripped out backing out of drive way, knobs by ac vents broke so all vents remain open... thats abt it...

janfar · Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 9:33 am Post subject:

Mine seemed to have had a much tougher life before i got it, including the fact that it got heavy usage for 3 weeks followed by -4times a week- starts for 4 weeks.

Nik · Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 9:37 am Post subject:

ur probably right... i have mine as a daily driver & the previous owner used it most days during the week & i know he used to hammer it as do i at times lol

aight fellas so im really confused onto what i should set my goals to with my car. im thinkin of power goals of something like 350 to the wheels. im confused tho, should i go with a 4G63T and if im going with this, should i keep the gsr box or go through a full conversion with diff etc? or just take that money, drop some forged pistons and rods in the 93T along with some other parts to make my goal?

also, i always had this thought, what would it take for a evo 4-9 engine to fit in ours chassis? also what gearbox, tcase etc could be used? ive always been interested in dropping in a VII engine or 8 for many reasons, parts avail. in the US being one of them.
