No compromise and massive determination. Recipe for success. You will definitely hit your mark.
I was wondering how you had that breather catch can plumbed? I make them, but was told the Evos "must" run sealed style. I have a great option for the community if you would be willing to share how it works for you.

From page one.
Every single piece of my heater system is in my car except for the hoses that go to the actual engine. I was going to replace the heater core, which is broken, last year but never got time, it's a full days job and real PITA to change the heater core in the EVO. Maybe this winter.
The 2.1 that I took out is getting a fresh set of rings, the head checked out and then it's getting shipped to a friend of mine in New York who has been waiting since August for it.
The rear diff support has to be tested on this car before anything gets produced. I am in no rush to make these to be honest. This could end up a one off part on this car, who knows. If I build them I'd be tempted to do them out of billet aluminum like the side diff supports we make.
The N1's are the lightest suspension on the market for the EVO. The Swift springs make it even lighter. The valving isn't that bad actually. I had someone test them on a shock dyno and have the paper work from it all, the springs themselves had the most variance and looking back on it I wonder if that was factual or if it was the guy trying to sell me different springs. It's very hard to say. The suspension though has worked very good for me and a LOT of customers. I don't think it can be beat for the money, that's for sure.
Thanks for the good luck wishes for the car.
Tonight I got a different monkey off my back. My Shelby Mustang has been stuck at 12.0's for over a year. First pass with it tonight it ran 11.91!! One down, one to go! I'm hopeful for the RS on Tuesday!

I have a thread somewhere on here in a stereo section or something about what I did, if any of you are interested I think I even listed part numbers.
The catch can is also something we make, works kick *** and there is a thread here on EVOm about those too.

Kevin has his work cut out for him. We are planning on really going for it. The car needs at least 685 whp in third gear on our dyno and then a perfect pass from there. I want nothing more currently than to get this done. It's been a long long time coming, I hope all the hard work pays off this time. Then it's coming home and I'm going to spend the winter cleaning it, detailing, painting etc.
Like i said over on Facebook, if it goes 8's it just may bring me to tears!
