Oh dear Geoff - it looks like you've been bit by the modding bug, in the ***, really hard!! Welcome to Evos, there's no way out now!

Fantastic work btw. I'm looking forward to seeing how the car will progress.

PS - Which EFR kit are you going for? Decisions, decisions!

Karl

hi karl, yes I do have problems perhaps an intervention is in store here is a link to my race car build that i am doing at the same time (I do not work on my personal project during business hours, so sleep has been scarce for the last 2 months):

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...ld-thread.html

the turbo plan is twinscroll 7670 right now, although 7064 might end up on there... and im torn between internal wastegates and .92 or external and 1.05... decisions, decisions is right!

Nice, I remember when you were building your eg coupe on honda-tech, nothing but quality from you which is why f-r manifolds are the only ones I will have on my cars (hondas and evos)

Awesome work! Love the rear control arm spherical bearings. I did the PSRS and then a custom front joint this winter and I'll be tackling the rear suspension joints next winter.

Is there a difference in the IX steering rack?

No problem, it's really easy to support good people/products/business, can't wait til it's time to order a new manifold for the evo

Don't you think sphericals will be harsh for a dd though? And you don't see many people running carbonetics but I loved my carbonetics dif in my teg
