i havent posted in here for a while

I blew my motor last July as some of you know and due to school and what not it stayed that way for a year. Well 2 weeks ago i finally have gotten my back up and running and give me a few weeks it'll be ready to tear up the streets again. Looking forward to the next autocross to try it out. I've never done it before and i finally got to see one in person. I can't wait to try it out.

This brings us up to 49 Registered EVOs on this board. You all should plan a huge meet for when I come home next July. That would be an awesome coming home from war present.

Glad to hear the car is running now chris. If remember, last time you blew a seal correct? Did you wind up getting the 2.3 L?

I blew a headgasket about 300 miles before it blew. Piston number 4 chipped away and took out the whole block as well.
The motor is just a stock one with ARP rod studs, race bearings, and balance shaft elim. kit

Is this the silver one with the 35R that was tuned at AMS?

My car isn't running right now and won't be for a couple days :-)

At least it survived two weeks without getting molested and taken apart :-)

here is the piston that took out the motor and then how the car is sitting right now

Yeah, that was me, I was on my way up to Kil Kare to watch the import drags. You ruined my favorite entrance with that slow *** van.

That turn off Central is a nice one if nobody else is on the road.


I attached a pic of my new Turbo XS FMIC that showed up yesterday. I need to get that on there and my Lancer ES trunklid and then the car will feel like my own.

Hey Chris, was that the first time you went autocrossing when you rode along with me at the Winged Warrior event?

Get your car together man, I know you can't wait to it's running properly. Good luck.
