My dream old junkyard lancer evo engine rebuilt

[Tom]

Problem with current forum is switching of trend, like in fb, most ppl show off or asking exotic ride(happened here quite some time before asoing which super car to get, but not sure got show pic after purchase), like in 改装无罪on fb, some asking cars problems but seldom ppl share answer(like me is dunno the problem so learn in silent), as well now seldom ppl share about their built with picture step by step and etc. I remember that time in zth ppl keep sharing pictures or their ride during mods, perhaps now due to security reasons, and another problem for me is the ads, i know ads is how the web survive but currently for me the ads if is on my phone will be a sudden pop out and i must keep scroll it away, mostly tm unifi ads, and last time is honda hrv ads

The TM unifi ad in ZTH is very annoying when I'm on phone. Hard to get that away.

改装无罪 I've always seen people sharing stuff out from this group even though I'm not in it. Well, actually I can't read chinese and I don't know what this name means. I copy pasted it to fb and found out it is that group. Sort of a pointless group. Riced up LED cars here and there in that group... Everything written in chinese... Even translated, I don't even know what are they talking about. And some of those chinese fellas logic of modifying cars is really questionable

I agree with you about the part where people in forum teach you step by step and many members here offer guidance and help even though they don't know you. As long as you are not a troll and you describe your situation clear enough. Maybe it helps a bit too in getting response if you are a senior/regular member over here.

Thanks for raising this up, peterj, renesis

FYI, the TM unifi Ads were removed a few days ago guys,

please let me know, or create a thread should there be any further unpleasant experiences

Imho tech on paper is one thing, the way it feels on the road when you drive it is another thing. Believe it or not 4G15 actually feels more torquey to drive compared to 4G91 just to give you an idea.

dayum identity exposed d hahah



Nicely done up bro but does police kacao you during road block? hahah

Oh, so you are using 4G91. Still, you got more valves and an extra cam compared to me, hahaha.

Your real name exposed, so it is sort of easy to identify you at fb. Perhaps you might know my name at fb too I guess.

Seldom, even if kacau i gt nothing to worry about, can show geran what... I saw johor got 1 unregistered cd9a rs for sale as well, 85k hehehe...

I had been driving a rice up bodykit wira for 3 years then eg 4 door for 2 years, within the years i drool for evo as well, believe me, if you want it, work for it and you will get it

Kuching area not much worries about roadblock what. Come to think of it, I do notice that there are a lot of rare JDM machines in East Malaysia. Like AE86 for example, I saw a lot of them with Sabah registered plates. Why though? Easier to import the cars there? A friend of mine studying in Swinburne Kuching even told me that there is one red NSX near the house that he is renting.

That white CD9A RS is asking for a ridiculous price. Condition wasn't so nice, the gear knob looks terrible. Door trims are RS spec stuff which looked like taken out from Wira 1.3. Original Recaro seats are gone too. Asking for RM85k? Too much I think. Not to mention that several sources did say that there are several drawbacks for the CD9A chassis like the LSD compared to the improved CE9A chassis. Not saying CD9A is a bad car but the asking price is too much for what it is worth on that car.

Now, my dream machine is GDB-F or GDB-G Version 9 STI. A standard version will do but of course it will be better if it is a S204 or Spec C or Type RA/RA-R.

You're welcome Tom.

I even noticed that the GoPro ad is gone too. It is rare to see big website owner to interact frequently with visitors.

 

[peterj]

Thank you tom, i do notice it is gone these few days

As for the e1 rs, actually better than normal gsr, e1 rs have mechanical lsd rear differential same as e2 3, e1 gsr only have viscous rear lsd, different gear ratio with viscous lsd(thats why u see ppl sell high price for e1 rs gb), and for the door trim and recaro, rs do not have that fyi, manual window, manual aircond, no rear wiper, no rear bonnet reflector light, no recaro, no abs is the distinctive outlook for rs, and because less electronics and no sound proof, it is abt 50kg lighter than gsr, and faster. These rs are really mean to be ready for race.

I wonder what's JPJ view at the moment for evo3 tail lamp conversion on wira in KL

Don't overdo, but tail lamp should be ok. I saw one time this wira install the intercooler up front, means in front of the bumper. The moment police car saw, stop him......lol

So, the value itself lies on the mechanical LSD. What LSD is yours using? Still on viscous LSD or changed to mechanical?

I know that the RS spec Evo lacks a lot of things but I din't know Recaro is excluded too in RS. Normally the selling price of RS should be the cheapest when it is new compared to GSR and MR in later specs. But this RS is selling for RM85k.

If do full tail lamp conversion, need to cut rear body part already. Still ok if like that?

Not legal though, but As long as don't overdo and looks neat. Even like spolier and body kit, by right got terms and conditions. Cannot extend how many mm from original body and so on, something like that....

I guess things like whole front nosecut conversion is considered as overdo? Hahaha

Like those Wira with Lancer front. Also seen a few AE101 and AE111 with Levin coupe front... Maybe those can trick JPJ fella since they might not know about Levin.

Engine bay as usual looks so untidy, you will spot some obvious mods like C. O. P conversion, tial wastegate, tonka manifold and etc. (most of the mod list are in the post i written before this, if you missed it go back take a look), just different is now the tdo5 20g are replaced by another tdo5 secret recipe by speedspin turbo

Using evo 2 with 1 way lsd gearbox and stock awd system with rear oem 1.5 way mechanical lsd, the handling quite nice already, add on are the d2 adjustable, ralliart front and rear strut bars, UR fenders, front lower arm, room, rear upper and rear sway bars....

The pictures also showed differences of evo body, with extra reinforcement at front and rear strut pillars, the significant rear V bars, and also my friend did told me abt the closer spot welding, i not sure is right or not but i will still take pictures for your guys to justify

His one is more like great grand uncle of Evo. Not a real E39A VR-4 but converted from Galant to VR-4 2WD. Hence, VR2turbo.
