I put the evo 8 layered gasket on & added the rtv to make sure it was nice & sealed & no leaks. Prior mesh gasket blew out from boost so wasn;t having a exhaust leak this time. . Also previous owner who not sure upped the manifold bolts to the 10mm so I had to open up the holes on the gasket...

it's the heat copper gasket rtv

added pics

only rust is in the rt rear rocker back at the dog leg behind the molding, i will add more pics. underbody is clean & undercoated.

My first post got deleted I guess, So here's the run down fast like I traded for a crotch rocket I had love the car but don't have time for it, Lots of motor work done through the years most of the forum knows about this car and the prior owners, I had the engine all tuned up by a master mech...

Thanks a TON... Last question unless it doesn't work (i screwed something up) will this allow the fogs to power on whether or not the parks or heads are on? I read thats how the true JDM's were.

If your talking about your engagement not being until you hit the flooror just off the floor, then I just went through this same issue & my friend who has a Gvr4 said it's in the pedal assyembly they wear out & you have to adjust it he said he had to weld his. Mine now has the "throw" at the top...

So here is my delema, (lol spelling) I want to have the outside beams (fogs) come on with the park lights like the factory JDM cars and switch off with the high beams come on & turn on the inside fogs. How can I get that I can take on power from the parks to turn on the outside fogs & power from...

Can anyone tell me what size of relays to get? & what the best way to rewire the fog switch to have constant power to turn on the fogs at any time like you stated? I just got a pair of these & got them to fit & now see that they can't just be wired in cause to much draw & found per your post...

do you still have the steering wheel?

I Need a transmision.looks like someone before me took the trans apart & didn't know what the were doing. Trans fluid all shiny & grinds so sad that people ruin things because they don't let someone who knows what they are doing do it!

I have 23/2000 & from I can find everyone just calls it a jdm cover but my prob is someone along the way decided to take out the fogs & now it looks wrong & i can't find them anywhere that look like they would fit. Someone in China says on eBay they have them but they look too curved on the edge...

NGK BPR7ES plugs & I can't that I gapped them to any thing, I should of thought of that when I put them in, I just put them in about a month ago. I have no clue what they should be gapped to. here is the list of mods..- Eagle Rods - Wiesco Pistons - Arp Fasteners & Head Studs - 4...

It felt & sounded different then when I have blow a intercooler pipe out of its' boot, & what was odd is that I could get right back into it and had boost it was just like i built up to a point to where it just blew it all off or should say dumped it out the waste gate. Does that sound logical?

I haven't tried to dup more then just once due to I was worried I may damage something. So didn't try any other gears, all pipes are still in their clamps but I will check tightness. I am running about 17psi at max but I unfortunately I was not watching boost guage when I duplicated because I...
