man that thing is looking very lovely. keep it up man

 

I hate you...


kidding. I would love to get my hands on an old school Evo. Looks great.

 

That thing is beautiful man. don't put some weird body kit on that thing. Keep it simple and take it to the track or autocross and have fun with it.

I wish the older eves came here in the US. I would definitely get a 5 or 6. I love my 9 but still...

 

thanks for the kind words guys... yup i have been tracking the car as well (the evo 9 turbo upgrade was the best mod I've done so far, power now is more linear and throughout the RPM range)... ill be posting some 'before' and 'during' build pix soon... thanks guys!

 

A few pix during the build.... please excuse the quality of the images -- used mostly my phone to take the shots...

Here she is being delivered (due to some customs restrictions, they chopped off the roof... but hey, that gave me the chance to put in a moonroof from a mirage )






Here's the engine pulled down (so we could properly prep and paint the body), took everything apart, made sure everything was spot on, cleaned, put it new belts, new water pump, etc.... then reassembled...










The dashboard and interior trims were also refinished...








Brembo brakes were cleaned, put it in some new seals and refinished... then installed the slotted rotors





Went to HKS Technical Factory to shop for some goodies!




















Also ordered the OEM decals and badges











D2 Track Spec Coilovers








Evo 9 Turbo Upgrade




Intercooler Upgrade





Defi Gauges Installed... (replaying the peak readings from the test laps)





Some Interior Pix











And here she is now...





Will keep you guys updated.... thanks!!

 

hi jaemess,your 6 looks great.
i have a 5 gsr rhd to convert lhd,collected up all the stuff to make the work,just missing dash sorround to keep automatic climate control,any help to get it?is your oem or was custom made?

thanks in advance

 

hey man, thanks! by dash surround meaning the climate control console? unfortunately most is RHD... i had mine fabricated... the OEM lhd's here has the analog (knob type) AC controls... you can use this housing however and cut the RHD's console and merge the two together, then lay on some fiber glass then refinish or have it wrapped in leather (just like the original).... hope this helps!

 

ok seems really well done,as original sometimes looking at pics from net of cars in lhd with automatic climate still wonder if this pieces does exist oem or are all custom made...

your looks good,is wrapped or how do ypu refinished it?

 

possibly any detailed pics of works done to it or detailed pics of it?thanks in advance

 

you got blower heater and bits from a donour car with auto ac in lhd trim or custom mounted the motors etc?

 

wow great restoration man. u almost left no stone unturned.

 

thanks man! appreciate it!

 

hey man, ill try to get some pix... AC/blower etc came from the donor car, including the AC lines. you can't use the ones from the RHD cause the orientation is different. the digital climate control was from the RHD, you just need to do some wiring and install the motors to move the LHD bits... good luck on your project!
