Cool build Tonba. I've grown a real soft spot for evo's lately. Did the stockish setup of the 8 get boring too quickly or were you just modifying it without any real plan to begin with? I only ask because I'd like to own an viii myself one day when I sell the sky.

Thanks copycutter.

I originally set-out to build a car to do street duties, run consistant 12's at the strip, and 1:08's at Wakefield.

(Remember this was 5-6yrs ago, when 98RON was the norm and a 1:06 @ wakefield was consided SUPER quick..)

I managed to get 220kW, low 13's (13.1-13.2 sec passes) and a high 1:08 @ wakefield., but the engine developed a problem with the lifters and oil-rings so we decided to rebuild. From there things just snowballed. I kinda lost my way with no real plan, and ended up with a car that simply was not fun to drive on street - Im sure #@34GeeTeeTee can help me elaborate there...

After just too many engine/tune issues, and now hating on the car, I took the car to JEM and they found major issues with the engine build.. So the decision was made to 'start from scratch'. Every item I am picking is to build an absolute street monster..

The NEW goals are;

-Street Car, Understated but turns heads

-Run in the 10's in the quarter mile in FULL STREET TRIM (ie street rubber, synchro gearbox and all)

-Run a 1.04 to 1.05sec lap at wakefield.

Im sure we can work something out bro.

If it didn't have issues when it was at 220kw do you think you'd have still gone full house eventually? Is that a common fault with evo 8's or were you just unlucky?

If you knew this clown you would know the answer! He is halfway through one build and already planning the next

Look, 220kW was very fun on the street, and with e85 it only would have been better. I never ment to go FULL-RACE spec. I just got carried away. But I was always going to build a serious street car.

It isnt a common problem. Just very unlucky.

Guilty as Charged......

Already trying to talk myself out of a Wide-Body Kit & Twinscroll HTA3586R.

Hence why you will get the build and paint done and get it back on the street to enjoy! Now get more engine part pics etc online! Carnage and all!

[copycutter]

Lol you two are classic egging each other on.

Car head's over to bodyform today. Currently looking into a Varis carbon fibre roof... Depends on timing really. If I can get the roof in 4-5 weeks I might do it.

I think I have decided on colours, but going to paint a test first to make sure while the body is being prepped.
I WAS going to look a widebody, but it now looks like I wont be. Too difficult, and will loose the very 'stock' understated look I'm going for.

Engine wise, not a whole lot is going on. Rods & crank delivered, pistons still being made which will be finished in a week or two. The head has finished getting portwork done, and is currently getting assembled with the valve train. Still waiting on photos. Either way, Ill get photos and post them up when it is delivered which should be before month end.

With the old engine setup, we ran a standard sump with tomei baffle plates, but with the new setup we are considering a Moroso/AMS fabricated sump which has extra baffles to make sure oil stays where is should, and an extra 1.4L of capacity. To go with this, we are also considering a Moroso/AMS accusump, which has another 1.4L of capacity. If and when oil pressure drops during extreme cornering or acceleration, the accusump automatically pumps extra pressure into the system to make sure everything is well lubricated. The additional benifit with all this extra oil, in addition to the twin oil coolers, there should be NO TROUBLE in keeping oil temp's in check.

Just recieved some sneek peek's of the CNC + machine work on my new Evo 9 Head....... Valve train still needs to be fitted and a final cleanup.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Wooooooooooooooooooooo Progress

[copycutter]

Does the evo 9 head allow a more aggressive valvetrain or something?
