Great work your going hard on that VR4 you make it look simple but it's not. Nonthing worth having comes easy anyways. Can you give us a contact to that John guy? I want those bilstein apapters I have some and don't want the down time of the weld job. What forum is John so I can send him a P.M.

 

[DynastyLCD]

John is on this forum if i remember right.

would be awesome if we could get a group buy on these... i think the welding is the one part of the evo suspension swap that's holding me back from actually doing it.

 

[ghostinthevr4]

He's on this forum very nice. Come on John it's group buy time or you can just make one set for me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My KYB's are going bad I got Bilstien's waiting for my Galant. Sorry for the thread jack Ade.

 

[transparentdsm]

Yeah, i want some adapters as well.

 

[ade]

i had no idea where the adapters came fro till a few days ago heres a link to a thread started on the subject for any future seekers. link


The cars been on the road for a few months now, with the weather being so crappy and the limited time i have nowadays its been tough getting to the little issues the car has. i still need to work on my tune, seal up the trunk, find and install a fuel swirl pot(im looking at versions that encloses the pump to keep the noise down), replace the pass side axle seal,re shim my rear end, rebuild my drive shaft, buy and install fans to replace the old worn out fans and a few odds and ends like a sound system, interior and exterior details.

I had an issue with my clutch not disengaging properly and after pulling the trans to shim the pivot ball, playing with the cables and replacing both clutch master and slave, i found out it was my pedal set. took it out welded it the third time around and installed and no more issues /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif. it def took its toll as my 1st and 3rd syncro's took a beating. i see a trans rebuild in my future.

Thats all for now.

 

[ghostinthevr4]

I'm glad to hear you got her running, you put a lot of work in her.

 

[tektic]

What he didn't mention was he started to take it out new years day at 9:30 at night in his driveway during a blizzard.
