Hi guys
Ive been hovering around this forum for a little while before i recently joined.
I posted this one evo coupe thought i would share it with you lot.
Here is a few pics of my gsr. Still have a little bit to go with her but getting there slowly.
Ive owned this car for 2 and a half years and done 800kms in that time including the trip back from sydney when i bought it.

I dont have any pics of when i first got it which im spewing about. When i bought it It was on run in tune and had red leather interior dvd player a million tvs , 2000 subs and last by not least fluffy dice hanging from the mirror.
So the first thing i did was rip it all out replace it with evo 3 interior plus had change to buy evo box, cvs and rear lsd.
Pretty sure this is about where i start off with the photos i can find.
Theses pics were before i got it tuned when it had the old manifold and turbosmart 38mm gate set up all on run in tune .
















Now respray next. same colour evo 3 black with all genuine panels rear window wiper evo 3 rear arms adjustable camber arms air con hooked up for demisting purposes only.
Will post more photos once sprayed One last photo of dyno sheet on pump 21 pound.

Hi guys thought id update my thread a bit.
As mentioned before my car is going to be resprayed been having mega problems tracking down genuine evo 3 parts looks like ill be waiting on a container in january to get here with my bonnet and side skirts.
Heres a few pics found some loverly stress fractures in the front end when i removed the bonnet seal and guards. Had it repaired and steel bar welded in to reinforce the strut tower putting the evo 3 bracing on it next plus running fender bars so hopefully that will solve the problem.










So hopefully will be painted before christmas ( besides bonnet and skirt skirts)
Now im going to remove the microtech and motec cdi and replace it with sm4 and e 85 tune on 26 psi should see 600 at the wheels fingers crossed

Holy crap - that's 340 KW !!!

What's it like in terms of drivability in traffic, etc?

Just roughly speaking, how much is the respray going to set you back?

I'm looking to do the same shortly, i.e. E3 front guards & bonnet, etc.

However, I want to go a colour change (from a grey silver metallic with purple pearl to gunmetal grey - like Sivart's E2) so I expect that will cost a fair bit more.

Car looks awesome - love the black on black rims!

I dont really drive in traffic lol only take it for spins late at night. It wouldnt be to bad in traffic just not having air con at the moment in a black car would suck.
Respray is only costing me a grand tops my mate is painting it in another mate booth the car didnt need much panel work as it is alreay really straight.
Id say for your spray you will be looking at around 8 gs if you going to change the colour of door jamps engine bay etc.

Hey guys been a while since ive posted.
Bit of an update the car is finally ready for paint all the panels have been sourced .
The colour will be mazda RADIANT EBONY its like a cherry black.
New mods have been changing the rear sway bar from k mac 18mm to white line 20mmx also fitted ajustable rear controll arms.
My life circustances are changing and i dont have much time for this anymore i should really finish it but you never know if anyone throws a decent offer it might go. the car will be fully professinally painted with genuine evo panels.
I have to get it regod hoping to find a way around getting it engineered first if i cant ill have a mirco tech ltx10 for sale as well as motec cdi igintion computer.
Stay tuned for another update shortly of the car painted.
