Wide fender with stock round fuel cap? If so, the cap will look like it is inclined inside because the surrounding body is already widened out.My idea exactly, not making a all show no go car. Though if ii am doing rear fender flare, i would get ori evo bumber, ori evo rear doors and retain the round fuel cap, the workmanship must be perfectly clean like stock looking but able to standout. I don mind there is a hollow gap on the fuel cap area. Just love the wide body look on my car. For power department, at least a 2.4 Mivec, powerful enough to reach 200hp with some modding.
most probably rb..going for 2.0 only..that 318 is year 95, uk spec, this weekend will take a look throughly..My take? Stick with RB if you're not going the JZ route. But personally that 318 is a little on the old side. If you have the budget consider another car that's equally fun to drive.

yea, especially on highway, can hear the car from distance..after 2 min still waiting for the carThat one my wife also can comment. How come that car so loud but not moving.....hahhahhahahha

2.4 block from 4B12? Will make your roadtax become more expensive.
Yup i don't like to lie about my car's identity, i will find someone to modify the round fuel cap to go inline with the wide fender.Wide fender with stock round fuel cap? If so, the cap will look like it is inclined inside because the surrounding body is already widened out.

Wah so lucky indeed! I'm happy if my wife sleeps in the car, then I can drive as fast as I want as long as it's smooth so she won't wake up. The problem is difficult to convince her to buy a fast car like an Evo! She keeps saying I'm crazy to buy 10-15 yr old, manual, harsh & loud car that is just Mitsu for the price that can almost get a 2012-2013 BMW 328i F30! Hence budget NOT approved by this home minister. Sigh...drive slow in open highway, she will be awake and ask what happen..hahaha
...
Your home minister is wise, from economic point of view, the BMW F30 is a much much newer car and its more comfortable yet packs a punch. I think you better buy an EVO for your own and don't need to fetch anyone, cause not everyone can withstand the harshness of an EVO.Wah so lucky indeed!

hahaha u cant really swap the engine and really kep it looking stock... the siput installed is a big give away unless you mean the 2.4 block then you have to restamp the block kan.... thats illegallah.Yup i don't like to lie about my car's identity, i will find someone to modify the round fuel cap to go inline with the wide fender.
Who said anything about declaring the engine :P ... It's a straight swap and both engines look too damn identical. I can stroke my stock engine with better internal parts if my engine block is up for the job.
Your wife drives? If she does, get her, her car, then you buy your car. Like my wife she drives her, I drive mine. Hers also double and family car since she like quiet and comfort so mine can be sporty with stiff suspension.....lolWah so lucky indeed!

2 litre to 2.4 litre price will increase by a lot.1 time off payment per year..bleh absorb kut
That will be unique if you manage to do Evo X wide rear fender but maintained the round cap. Do post photos of it here if you really go ahead with the plan.Yup i don't like to lie about my car's identity, i will find someone to modify the round fuel cap to go inline with the wide fender.

My Thai girlfriend has a nice Mazda 2 Automatic, and when we go somewhere together we almost always take her car. I normally drive and to be fair it is a nice everyday driving car, just not that fun.Your wife drives? If she does, get her, her car, then you buy your car. Like my wife she drives her, I drive mine.

Same here, wife had a Chery SUV for last 5 years, now she have a much more bigger and comfortable Forester double as family ride, so that leaves my VR alone......hhahhahaMy Thai girlfriend has a nice Mazda 2 Automatic, and when we go somewhere together we almost always take her car.

The ride on my car on coil-overs is very hard and on some uneven roads she says it makes her sick (might look into getting them tuned for a slightly softer ride eventually), and now I have my 4G92 Mivec it is too tempting to take the revs over 5500 rpm whenever their is a clear road to feel the Mivec cut over kick in which really makes her bitch and moan at me
On face value now, yes her choice seems wiser economically, BUT judging by how much the depreciation/RV between both cars, it looks like the Evo is actually a better buy now since it retains RV very strongly leh, much stronger RV than the BMW! Just compare the price movement in the last 3-4 yrs, an Evo IX only drops like from rm140-150k to 100-120k while the 328i already drops from over 250k to now just 120-140k!Your home minister is wise, from economic point of view, the BMW F30 is a much much newer car and its more comfortable yet packs a punch.

Yes she drives her Livina now but still she makes noise! She also already like my Mark X, she said it looks cool, classy, and comfortable too, unlike the Evo with that racer wing and hole on the hood!Your wife drives?

I'm considering that too. Just that the Livina is still quite useful when want to carry big stuff (like from IKEA) or if relatives come from Jakarta to visit us.She like the Mark X just nice loh! Sell Livina, give her Mark X then buy Evo......hahhahhahahah
Sons' & dad's dream together come true!Bro 6ue5t son dream come true....hehehe
Keep Livina as spare car......lolI'm considering that too. Just that the Livina is still quite useful when want to carry big stuff (like from IKEA) or if relatives come from Jakarta to visit us.

Just noticed that the round fuel cap is not as big as the square Evo type, so its' harder than i thought. Will keep you posted once i done it. Currently looking for bolt on Evo rear fender from the USA, they have FRP made ready to ship out.2 litre to 2.4 litre price will increase by a lot.

Well, assuming if nothing much happens to your car, you can just swap away the block without anyone knowing. If something bad happens and they need to identify your car by block number, then perhaps it might be troublesome. Or like you say, you can rebore your block if it is possible.

Don't bother with the fuel cap la. There's more than one way to tell an ori EVO X and even with all the bodykits and fuel cap swaps, there's still one more undeniable way to tell. I'm keeping it to myself though. Cuz I'm a stingy bugger.Just noticed that the round fuel cap is not as big as the square Evo type, so its' harder than i thought. Will keep you posted once i done it.

Rebore the old engine is risky, and furthermore i don't think i can bore it till the 2.4 litre range, i have to play around with the stroke ratio too, means i will be needing 2.4 crankshaft, conrod, and custom compression pistons for higher compression.
Putra can be bored to 2.2? Wahhh whats the piston size lol cause even overbore 2mm it'll still be 19XX cc in capacity, unless u stroke itDon't bother with the fuel cap la.

Reboring not an issue la. You'll probably need to bore out about 1-1.5mm width and the stroke will take care of the rest. Dooooo itttttt.. And if a 1.8 Putra can be bored out to 2.2, I'm pretty sure your 2.0 can bore out to a 2.4.
yala.. oversized piston and strokePutra can be bored to 2.2? Wahhh whats the piston size lol cause even overbore 2mm it'll still be 19XX cc in capacity, unless u stroke it
