ALL evo 1,2,3's have rear lsd's (evo 1 gsr has a viscous lsd, all the rest have plate type). A viscous front lsd was an option on all of them, more RS's than gsr's have this option, but not all of them (maybe half?) The viscous front lsd was also an option in 1.8 gsr's and rs's, but with the...

If you have an E39A vr4 you can fit the complete GTO rear trailing arms and use the drum type handbrake setup. I'd be interested to know the bolt spacing on the GTO caliper mounts and the offset of the mounts from the disc centre line, s I've been lent an FD3S front brake setup and the calipers...

unless the CHRA is cracked it won't get into the coolant. It'll either get into the compressor housing, and via the piping and intercooler into the engine and produce abit of smoke. Or it'll get into the exhaust housing and exhaust and create alot of smoke.

Buy a bearing/seal kit and rebuild it. Should be well under $200 for the kit and easy enough if your capable of removing the turbo yourself. Mark the shaft/nut/comp wheel before dis-assembly, make sure you line them up the same way when you re-assemble and you won't need to get it rebalanced...

if there's oil "all over the engine bay" you've got a leak somewhere, turbo oil seals will only leak oil into the exhaust and/or intercooler piping. If the turbo oil seal has gone there may be alot of oil in the exhaust, I sprayed a ton of degreaser into mine (removed it first, obviously) and...

Axle angle at proposed ride height of ~270mm hub centre to guard lip. Axle angle at maximum articulation. Modified shocks showing range of ride height adjustment, with fully compressed stock shock (missing it's lower mount) for comparison. Modified lower mount with vr4 'eye' attached...

no, no, NO! Get them an old car that's slow and noisy, Teach them to look further ahead than just in front of the bonnet, teach them to cadence brake, teach them to rely on themselves and give them the skills to drive defensively, not to rely on the car to keep them safe! Look at suv drivers...

yeah, but i can change whatever you like, I don't copy the photo directly (what would be the point) just use it as a reference for how the car looks.

Varies quite abit depending how busy I am, average is probably 2-3weeks. The multi coloured gsr belongs to GSRWRC from here, the cars patchwork appearance was part of it's charm, so that's how I drew it - though I had previously done one of it back when it was all one colour. The car doesn't...

Quite busy at the moment, but i'd be happy to do some for you guys. Not sure how much it'd cost to post them to Aussie. I normally charge ~$100 (nzd) for A4 size and ~$175 (nzd) for A3 size. I've got pay-pal too which makes things easier. too much? too little? let me know what you think...

I don't see why they couldn't be bought individually from mitsi - the dsm hubs used to convert vr4s to 5-stud in the states can be. Get an rvr chassis number, head down to mitsi and ask them.

You can keep your new bearings if you press in fto/rvr hubs (I did when I pressed mine in). You may even be able to take your new bearings out and fit them to a later hub that is 5-stud AND has mounts to suit brembo calipers - no custom brackets needed! (though, new wheel bearings for the new...

What GSRWRC said is best option. also, spoke shape NOT offset is what decides whether wheels will fit or not.

The limiting factor in the rear is when the upper arm contacts the chassis (about 30mm below bumpstop height on stock shocks) and the max angle the inner cv joint can achieve is more than this - maybe as much as 2-3" at the hub end? I'll take a pic of the driveshaft angle at the point the upper...

Pity I didn't see this earlier, tis infact what I do.

because everything in those sort of magazines is absolute truth :rolleyes:

The guards flex enough to allow it to reach full lock - obviously not really driveable, but adequate to allow me to move it around, pulled the rear hubs for 5-stud conversion today and rear evo5 cusco coilovers are getting 70mm removed from the lower mounts this weekend, once the rear end is...

to lessen confusion, stop thinking of the RS as being the 'special' vr4. there are 3 different specs of RS, depending when they were built (aside from the type of rear lsd the mechanical specs are the same as those years 'non RS' vr4's. pre 89.10 - 205hp, 450's, 14b, 3 bolt mech lsd pre 90.10 -...

Care to share? I've got the vr4 FIA homologation paperwork in .pdf if you want to swap

not a bitsa at all. pre 89.10 vr4 rs's had 450's, 14b's and 3 bolt plate lsd and 205ps (pre facelift) 89.10 to 90.10 vr4 rs's had 450's, 14b's, 3 bolt plate lsd and 220ps (facelift) after 90.10 they were all "evo 0" spec, 510's, 16G, 4 bolt plate lsd and 240ps of course any car could've...
