The rebuild of 808/2000

Thanks guys. Seeing the pics of the 1g really makes me miss it. It was time to move on anyways though lol. It wasnt a plan to pick up a gvr4. The plan was to get an evo and go with it. The bug bit me though on this gvr4, all I had to do was trade my bike, why not? lol

Tsi guy you I just have one good question??? Why did you get rid of the that tsi. I loved that car, I am feeling some kind of way now. I remember when you water pump went out at the shootout last year. Damn but it is nice to see that you have gotten a GVR4. Cool I cant wait to see it done.
 

The talon was parted out due to the carbon hood coming up on me. It didnt do a whole lot of damage actually, but it was enough to get me to part her out and move on.

Evo is better,faster and more reliable than all of them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Certainly isn't as unique though. I could have an Evo. I choose my GVR4 instead.

Nothing to update yet. I am waiting on the harnesses that I will be getting on thrusday. I am hoping this weekend, I will really be making a TON of progress.

I got a 1g mishimoto radiator coming as well. I will make some brackets for the top posts. I am already running a 1g thermostat housing. I am on the hunt for a fmic setup. It sucks there is really no kits out there other than the ets. I dont wanna throw so much money into a fmic on this build yet. I have a Buschur core that was on the car. I just gotta get some pipe cut and welded. Only problem there, a buddy who does all my welding, isnt taking on any work right now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I hope I can talk him into taking a sat afternoon and just weld some pipes for me. I hope! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I did de-grease the front subframe and all today, before the storms hit. I will get a coat of paint on it tomorrow, then it will be ready to lift back into the body. Still got a lot ahead of me, but this weekend is it! I am gonna get sh*t done! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif


On the evo subject, imo, its plain and simple. The evo is a better car. I love my evo. BUT, you have to shell out some dough for a nice one. Which is always a downside. Thats my only arguement. I love my evo and always will, but then I love to be able to tear down the dsms/gvr4's too, and make them like new!

I love them all and have owned them all multiple times however from pure performance stand point it's evo by a country mile. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Carl is not taking any work anymore? Wtf? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 

He took on some big wiring job. He told me he isnt takin on any more work, cause he is backed up as it is. I am willing to bet, he will work me in to weld some pipes if I really need to.

I just gotta get the motor in and intake mani on, so I can get an idea of what kinda pipes I need to run. Im either gonna run an evo 9 bov or 1g. Whichever I find first. lol

You need to check and see if you got any evo mafs, or bovs laying around! lol

Haha I just sold evo #5 in hopes of buying a gt500 but it's a bit out of my range right now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif so what happened to your hopes of a new 5.0?
