As some of you know I crashed my car last monday =[ but the good news is it was not that bad and because of it I get some new upgraded parts for the car. Plus I dont have to worry about paying my deductible cuz Im going to save 500 dollars just from not buying a new crash beam and mesh for the bumper.

The insurance agent was pretty cool and gave me some tips on saving money.

So anyways my advice to you is what parts should I replace the broken stuff with and what parts should I buy with the money I save.

Here is the parts that I have to replace. Front bumper, driver fender, intercooler, radiator. Also im missing my undertray so i figure its a good time to replace it.

Here are my ideas.

FrontBumper - Stock evo 9 bumper
Fenders - Repair them or if unrepairable replace them with the same siebon wide cf fenders i had
Intercooler- Found one on the f/s forums for 150, not 100% sure yet
Radiator - Mishimoto
Undertray - beatrush aluminum one

Other parts since Im saving money.

LICP
Cams - not sure what brand
Cam gears (not sure if they are really necessary tho.
Springs





Let me know what you guys think

 

i replace my radaitor last week with Mishimoto sweet as hell and the chrome finish is nice. i been running my car with no Undertray since i got it lol. have no plans on getting one until im done with having to go underneath the car just a pain in the ***. the rest of the stuff sounds alright to me why not get a better intercooler then stock????

 

well the one fmic im looking at on the forums is pretty big. its a 3 inch fmic and the owner made 560 hp so it sounds like a sweet deal to me haha.

and yea the mishimoto looks nice. As far as the under tray, well im gonna be doing autocross so I dont want any front end lift. plus i heard the beatrush aluminum one is easy to take off.

 

I definately agree with RockmanX. You need to purchase another intercooler, so this is a great time to upgrade it. I personally have a Buschur Racing IC and licp. There are so many options for the Evo, so just poke around and see what you like.

 

I really don't think you can go wrong with Buschur stuff. Another option for fmic is ETS 3.5". They sell a 4", but you have to modify a bunch of stuff to get it to fit.

Sorry about the crash, but good luck with the new stuff {thumbup**

 

ide go with ets 3.5... its on my list of things to get. and you really dont have to mess around with things in there too much to get it to work

 

Save yourself another few hundred and buy my used OEM radiator.

 

now would be a good time to buy a test pipe bub

 

test pipe, fp green, 3 inch fmic, mishi rad, injectors, cams, and fuel pumps coming on their way =]

 

wow... and have a merry christmas ! bbubaloo

lol i hate you

 

haha well i have to be without a car for 3 weeks =[

but yes i will have a merry christmas. SVS is a pretty cool shop man. If you ever need work I would suggest you go there. Im getting a custom fabricated intercooler piping polished. Plus his supra is sick as hell haha.


whats up with your car. maybe we can race eachother after haha.

 

werd! Mr. Luna lives in EP now so he can do your tune

 

Another one bites the dust...

 

damn how much money did they give you back buddy lol. almost makes people want to wreck there cars. Im sure you insurance went up unless it was her fault oh well long as its all fix and nothing is leaking, cut hoses, bent exhaust etc. im sure its will be stronger then ever. IM running a aps intercooler alot of people dont know much about that one but i love its bigger then the one you got and fits in stock location no modding. good luck on evo

 

thanks man. and well it helps when your good with a wrench =]

The only thing the shop is doing is fixing a piece of the frame and fabricating a custom 3 inch ic piping. Im fixing my bumper and fenders and repainting them myself, and im installing all the new parts myself.
