What happened to your leg? Was wondering why your Evo hadn't been registered yet.
 
About the fuel pressure regulator, I'd certainly recommend giving it a proper run on the dyno & diagnosing the root cause. If it's having intermittent/inconsistent fueling, the fpr won't solve it & you can still pop your newly rebuilt motor.

^ i mentioned it in a post somewhere on this page, but i was a passenger in a bad car accident over 4.5 months ago. 8 broken bones in the foot/ankle area was the reason for the cast..
still not driving.
 
As for the fueling, that's pretty much my worry. It feels like a bandaid, hiding a bigger Issue.
once the engine is run in - 1000km or thereabouts - in late april sometime, ill get it serviced, then go for a dyno run (and get someone else's opinion). I worry about AFR's nowadays, and want to be able to confidently give it tons of revs without the same thing happening.

Looking great, you have an insane eye for detail, the evo looks fricken sinister!! What are your plans for it? 

 
thanks!
no real plan for the Evorution - just gradually cleaning it up. I enjoy looking at it, and fiddling with it.. so no real rush to drive it. I still love driving the AW11 too much to care, and cant imagine its any better to drive. its just faster. :S
I'm still on my P's until December this year, so cant legally drive the fkn thing anyway. its a Ridiculous 3point fine nowadays, even though im well-and-truly OLD enough to drive it, i guess I'm still not mature enough in Vicroads eyes. Feels like I've been on my P's longer than anyone this side of bendigo.. <_<

had bought a whole heap of bits.. in anticipation of winter..

heaps of Pinstriping, and both door seals in the corner there.. ;)

upper door hinges, both sides:

two upper screen trims:

got those seals on:


 
somewhat hilarious, but the doors barely close now! haha.
sure seals though. mm.. ready for rainy goodness..
 
otherwise, its still running in. hit 1000km on this build yesterday, so will go in to get a checkover and whatnot soon. few issues that need sorting.. but its old.. thats what i get.

looks like that thread was archived on the old forum.. and they havent posted on it on this forum yet <_<
found the username here though too ey..
 
 
as for the Supercharger, its just sitting. i want to eventually restore it all, but i just keep shoving new projects in the way (..like the EVO!) its not exactly taking up much space, and itl always be able to fetch a couple bucks, so no real rush.
i really have no intention to put it on the car anymore. i really like how the car drives as-is, and theres no way more power will make it more fun.
 
just got the car back from the mechanics after the running-in service too.
handbrake cables were also put in at this point.
and.
holy shyte.
handbrake!! aaargh! its been so long!
its perfect. :)
