Omg this thread is still going? This has got to be the longest build thread ever.

Wouldnt it suck if the car gets finished and you start driving it and the water pump fails causing the block/head to warp? Lol

If you only knew all the little details there is a reason the thread was extended and I dont believe in rushing anything period. it will get done should have some nice updates for the Evo this weekend or next week

WOW you got medical discharged like my brother?? We are about to start fighting it now the military messed up is paper work whats new with that right and only offering him 20% and he is pretty messed up with constant back pain and Random hard back spasms so bad you can see the bone moving and they say he might be fit for duty stupid he is a mechanic he cant lift anything if his back starts acting a fool stupid so good luck for real with that process we are getting a lawyer now to fight it.

Things to be getting installed and put together on the evo this week. only one minor issue the STM oil cooler has gone missing in action Brian is suppose to be on the Case but I have not heard from him yet. I refuse to even let the shop start my car without a oil cooler it all needs to be in place.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I am being MEB'd so I will retire as a Sergeant First Class. If I get pinned E7 first, then I will retire as a First Sergeant. I am receiving 100 percent disability, and my lawsuit from suing the hospital is going way up. So I am actually getting a great deal out of this, and will be better for me and my family. I wish your brother the best of luck. Tell him he needs to go talk to JAG. He isnt going to be able to sue the military, but he can appeal the MEB process and try and fix what they screwed up. Military is always screwing up paper work, and do not care who they screw over. If you need any help, let me know. I will find out as much info as I can for him and I will be able to give him some point of contacts to help his case out. Just give me the word, and I will help your brother out. No favors in return, yal are good people.

Reason why there is not alot of people this day and age signing up because of stories like this from people that served. I guess at least you get out time for a regular job for you LOL so you dont get to bored

While my stuff hasn't taken even a fraction of the time yours has I can say I understand what you're going through (SBR screwed up on my fuel lab fuel filter and we had to call Fuel lab and beg them to send one to us next day.

Tuning session planned for tomorrow and its going to be down to the wire at this point. They've rescheduled a bunch of times and this time the dyno place took a whole off for us (My friend is getting similar work done). So the shop is working through the night to get the car together.

off topic and all but the military, army included is actually over strengthed right now. we are at 108% and are talking of downsizing. so yes many people are still signing up this day. because like all employers some people have a turn of bad luck and let it sour there opinion on the entire outfit. unfortunatly it does happen but less then you would imagine.

My Evo build has taken awhile and I rather have it done right the first time then to rush it back and guess what have little issues arise or things i wish I would have added like the STM clutch fork or the STM SS clutchline or the SS brake line im going to buy the delay of exedy allowed me to look at other parts so it turning out for the best not to mention Carlos might powdercoat my calipurs as he has done alot of nice powdercoating for the blue bomber already
