Chris's Evo 4 Project

[ChrisCurzon]

Not put a thread up on here in a while, but since i sold my old Ibiza Cupra i've had a change and had a Integra Type R DC2, Volvo S60 T5, Accord Type R, Mini Cooper S & Civic Type R but the itch came back for something turbo again...so after selling my Civic a few weeks ago i picked this up last weekend
It needs some tidying up on the bodywork and a bit of tlc as its been stood for a while (was a summer/weekend car) so getting it back up and running properly. Plans to start with are to get rid of the massive spoiler, tidy the bodywork up, underseal it properly, refurb the wheels and get some better tyres and fix all the little niggles with it then i can start to enjoy it properly!
Had the car into Eight Speed this week and got Stevie to change all the oils and give the car a check over.

Plans sound good, that spoiler is insane

My uncle had one a few years back, I loved it. Serious performance for little money. Enjoy!

 

[Damoegan]

What turbo is it running?

Any more plans for power?

Suspension?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Yea spoiler will be removed soon enough. And for the money serious performance

I believe its a evo 8 Mr turbo but not checked yet.

No plans for any more power yet its running 1.5 bar boost and about 380 bhp as it is

It has Cusco coilovers at the min.

Got a delivery of a few parts today - Standard spoiler (thankfully!), standard bumper, Evo 5 17inch Oz Racing F1 alloys and also got 2 new front window motors, heater vent and rear passenger window switch to fix some niggles

Got the spoiler straight on

Just trying to decide whether to bother with fogs on the standard bumper or not

Cheers mate, just been getting the bumper and wheels on this weekend. Going to nip out and get some pics in a bit, looking a lot better now. Yeah the Cupra's were a while ago!

Yeah signed up on there a while ago, have a thread going on there too

Really like your Evo mate, something i would like eventually

 

[yellonvi-R]

Love these had 3 myself and still dont know why people say there the worst ones!!(

Heres the ones ive had

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Look smart those mate, have to say i like the blue one. Is that a Varis bumper?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Previous owner said it was a tommy kiarra bumper so not sure, was lamborghini blue had a great spec with printout for if i remember correctly 360bhp with a noisy exedy clutch lol the grey one was the nicest to drive thoughand was spotless. Been looking at them again as there farely cheap these days.

Got the standard bumper on and wheels this weekend. Have give the bumper a quick buff over but it still needs a bit more work, but it's on and not looking bad, will get it sorted out soon. Wheels are on and look much better i think, also got some decent tyres on there now, just in the process of getting some centres sorted for them now

Also changed the side repeaters to a set of clear and added some new Evolution IV stickers to the side as my passenger side didn't have one but the drivers did!

Next up is to sort some more niggles out, finish the bumper and sort the B pillars out - get rid of the white. Once the weather picks up will give the car a full buff and get a good coat of wax on there

Met up with Danny and did a few quick pics too

No what a nightmare, looks better for it though

Was just a quick couple while I called for petrol. Can go out when all 3 are clean again, Danny will always do pics lol

 

[luke2702]

What you tryin say mine is filthy??? Lol..

 

[ChrisCurzon]

This was pretty much how i last saw the Evo, after these photo's was rolled outside and the suspension and wheels stripped off then went to be scrapped

Spark plug snapped in the 4th cylinder and wiped pretty much everything out

It's been split for parts which is going pretty well to be honest, made what i paid for the car back in under 3 weeks. Have a few sales lined up which will cover the majority of what i spent on the car too so onwards and upwards. Deposit paid on the next car. Hopefully pick it up Tuesday
