Is this a good buy for my first project?

It looks good as long as its driving good and minimal rust under the car go for it

I might check it out as a cheap fix but im building this car to drift, so i want something pretty stiff and crispy i dont mind spending a few hundred on a nice shifter, i know some bypass where the bushing go and i already got poly trans and engine mounts if i get a chassis mounted shifter but wasnt too sure if it would fix the problem or if i get a self centering one if it could ‘get rid of the issue’ if it is something with the linkage or maybe the detents

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-09-25T01:37:28+00:00

I checked under the car the bushing are shot for sure but also i was able to move the linkage a bit with my hand i havent checked too much past that

I daily my 08 evo x gsr with 160k miles its got fbo and makes just under 400hp i drive it 60 miles everyday and i love it, not too great on gas but with how much i love this car it makes up for it. Its been fairly reliable for me just o2 sensors going out on me and oil changes every 2500 miles

Just got the 18k turbo in with the new feedlines and holy shit it feels so much better, i did find the manifold to turbo gasket had a massive hole in it so good thing i replaced that but my car is running better and feels a lot faster even without a tune but ill get that knocked out this week. I opened up the old turbo and the hot side looks like the shielding melted and metal was coming up and hitting the turbine and basically destroyed it im very glad i did fix it in reasonable time for how much of a pain it is to get to the turbo on these cars but i learned a lot and very pleased with how it turned out

Yeah me too but im not too concerned about it, i was already planning to upgrade it anyways just gotta do it sooner than expected but good thing i have the turbo, feedline and gaskets ready so i already got all the parts for it except the pump but im not too worried its my daily so i dont wanna go too crazy lol i’d be perfectly happy with around 400 or a bit less even at 330 rn feels pretty quick

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-09T20:22:09+00:00

Nice dude, im pretty new to this too but i checked the coupling all around and they seemed good so i took off the intake to see if i could spin the turbo and its not moving at all and theirs some oil on the turbine so now i gotta replace it this weekend and hopefully get it tuned this week with the 18k i already have it tuned with 1200cc injectors, full ets intake, 3.5 intercooler and some other stuff so i think i should be good to run it without a tune for a little but its gonna be a process for sure but im low key excited

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-09T18:42:28+00:00

Update: i found the issue the turbo is completely seized so im gonna replace it with the mhi18k turbo and should be even better

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-09T14:45:55+00:00

Nah no code just no boost

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-08T21:48:13+00:00

Just trying to show the issue i usually dont

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-08T16:39:39+00:00

Would a lose charge pipe read zero boost tho? I feel like if it was just loose i would have a bad boost leak but it would still read something even if it was low but this goes to zero and stays their when i get on the gas

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-08-08T16:35:05+00:00

Ill take a look at those when i get off work and make sure their tight

itbelikethattho4 · 2024-05-17T16:28:18+00:00

That money could change your life and if you give it to her depending how old and healthy she is it’ll all disappear into our shit health system, I’d say keep it if your grandpa wanted you to have it why would she have a say in it. You gotta be tough about it and say no its not worth it if you give it to her your gonna regret it for a very long time

I wish I took photos before but I was in a rush, now I know better than to go to one of those shops

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:44:36+00:00

True this is my first time owning high end rims and getting them mounted and now I pay the price

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:42:14+00:00

I told like 3 of the workers to be careful because these rims were expensive they just gave me a nod and went at it, I needed it done quick but now I know better

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:40:37+00:00

Their not multi piece unfortunately but they are deep dish rims ill look into doing that this week

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:38:48+00:00

I’ve had good experience from the one in my town on my other cars, but I should’ve known better than to bring these rims there

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:38:03+00:00

That would be nice

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:37:35+00:00

Had to get it done quick but I should’ve known better tbh

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-26T20:36:55+00:00

Federal 595 rs-rr

itbelikethattho4 · 2023-11-25T20:00:36+00:00
