pfffftt 63 here still a long way to go
Holy crap Hayce-master-flex 101 pages and climbing!!
On that holy moly-ness note..... I just talked to Cement!!
He has asked me to flick a link to this glorious build as he is interested in the fact its nearing the final marker. I'm just looking forward to some updates if you get em today....
This is the 3rd post on p126 for me. Do I win?
Thanks to: Makita, Repco, The Warehouse.
Yeh bro ill just use it and upgrade later on.
You might need prelude rear caliper bolts, since '98spec/ctr are the same?
Unfortunately no progress has been made on the car yet, looks untouched...
I've got some bolts for the Wilwoods that I was shorted so ugh, that's progress I guess.
I was going to go find those caliper bolts, but it's wet and I can't get dirty lol. Heres hoping next week sees the car get a bit of attention![]()
Let see if yours or Adams finishes first :-P.
I've been trying to listen out if I can hear the car on the dyno just down the road from work.. Unsure yet though.
2001 Mistubishi Evolution VII
Haha he is an NZH drop out all right. I can't rag him out too hard. Before I joined I use to give him shit about "chatting to his homo Honda mates online". I think I've surpassed him in those stakes so the jokes on me
Hmm I'd probably go with Adam TBH.
Only two bits of news.
1) the bad. Heard the car has still not be touched. Apparently two cars need to be out the door before I can get a dedicated hoist. Expect mid next week which means its been in limbo for two weeks. Not ideal.
2) Ordered a black AVCR yesterday and it shipped today. I had an absolutely awesome experience with the shop I bought from. It's not arrived yet so I'll wait 'till its arrived and make sure they've not fucked anything up before I give them the full thumbs up.
Other than those two things, I got nothing![]()
Good things take time, and this is certainly one of them. Can't wait to see this thing out cruising(bring it up to Auckland when its running please
)
Finally after years of being fucked around, I get a knock on the door!
Black AVC-R arrives thanks to the good dudes at FRSport.com. Highly recommended.
Big sukka:
Sensor:
Ruby figuring out how the hell I'm going to mount all this cleanly. Just after this pic she turned to custard, poor thing fell down on her arse and got impaled on one of the brass nipples on the solenoid:
Nasty thing lol
USPS trackingSaid this for days, still says it now!
Another knock!, Its Christmas. Lip luggage haha.

Damn didn't realise how long the loom was on the avc-r!!
Circle Jerk Crew!!! Two many awards to list.
Lance my EMS tracking from China says my goods are still in Shanghai how ever its spelt. Funny thing is ive had goods for 2 weeks![]()
Motul Honda Cup #41
Haha I'm working on a bit of a fro atm!
Has a fair length! The length to the sensor will be waaay to long as the sensor will be on the back of the inlet mani. The length to the valve might not be long enough as it'll be in the passenger right front corner somewhere. Might have to run the wires out around the outside of the bay and through the door grommet like the headlights.
LOL. Not sure if I;ve had anything through EMS. I think FedEx might have to be the best I've had for tracking.
Nice progress, Fedex have the best tracking service ever, my kicks came from the US, and was tracked down to the minute, of every destination and eta, ftw
best freight ol fedex, but they can charge a $$$
USPS wern't cheap, that box cost US$57 to ship, ffs.
edit: ^ you just beat meI am sick of the sight of it. Mainly because it looks fuck'n horrible. High as a kite, covered in shit and I've grown to really despise that colour. I have three new colours in mind for it, possibly four. All are OEM colors off other late model cars.
She is a big girl now alright. Tall as some of the 2 year olds. Just recently she has shot up off the curve.
She'll be lucky to see her next birthday the way shes going. Got herself into a dirty 3:00 and 5:00 am wake up call for about the last two weeks which we are trying to break her out of... fun fun.
I'll be in the workshop on Saturday with this thing. Apparently no one has touched it for the 2.5 weeks its been in there so I'm going to start the ball off myself... ho hum.
My little lass has the exact same wake up call at the moment.... you gotta love em aye!!
As much as you want to be angry at them, you just get one glimpse from them and all is forgiven..... and you feel like a prick for ever thinking of being angry in the first place.
Hope they dont charge you for work not even done Lance, that would so be your luck..... especially as thats basically whats happened to you all the way through the build.
