So of these are simply a work of art. some ..well ... are like mine.
Anyway I thought I might put a few details up on the
, 
and 
of what I have dubbed "Racing PROjECT"projects seldom get finished hey ...
History: pruchased the car as a standard aussie delivered 1994 GSR (second hand) from some dude down in Sydney
it was in decent nic apart from a stuffed clutch and a bit of a knock about the pass rear wheel arch.
Anyway drove the beasty home back to Queensland with the slipping clutch with out any troubles (apart from completely obliterating a wild Budgerigar on my front head light)
the headlight still has the bullseye hit on it. thought I'd leave the scar..
There were a few minor mods over time, I grafted a Vf23 from a Subbie onto the 1.8ltr air intake all the normal mods you would do.
Then I decided to put a 2 litre in it. Oh my gosh... it transformed it into one of the best most fun money pits you could imagine.
I'm sure if I had not bought it, I would be driving around in my AUDI RS4 by now.
OK .. where do I start .... the 1/2 cut had every Conceivable panel dinted , I think the asian dude that owned it in japan had one last but very exciting ride, although I didn't find any blood or body parts in it. But lets face it all I wanted was the motor.
After fitting the motor I found out that all the bearings were stuffed and it had Severe thrust bearing failure (crankwalk) It was fixed under warranty 3 times, bearings twice, removal of balance shafts, new crank.
3 months down the track - engine knock (piston slap)
O screw this ..... and the rest is history.
Currently this is what is fitted and been done.

squared, machined, de bured, grouted, Balance shafts removed
new OEM oil pump, water pump, ARP head & mains studs

fluidamper harmonic.
HEAD
Ported, new valves std size, new bronze guides
de bured internals, E3 Hydraulics, Kelford 264/272 cams, Ebay special adjustable cam gears
HKS head gasket, large custom plenum with 70mm throttle body
GEARBOX
debured, detailed gears, isotropic polished. preloads set, 3.5 ratio LSD diff
details and polished shift rails, double synco 1/2/3 rd
4 spider center and probably other stuff in there that \i have forgotten about.
Quarter Master twin plate clutch with modified cover so that the clutch fork fits correctly
BRAKES
AP 4 pot calipers, braded lines, DS 2500 pads
330mm rotors

Garrett GT3086 BB, machined & hiflowed compressor cover - with surge slots
External Tial gate. And Cast SS manifold that the name excapes me?
4 x EGT sensors

ECU & ACCESSORIES
Haltech PS1000 ECU with TC4 box, expander hub extra I/O box
flex fuel sensor for e85
anti lag / launch control (havent tested yet sounds too scary 14psi @ 4500rpm) sounds nothing like normal launch on an EVO
BODY & SUSPENSION
fully adjustable external cantister BC coilovers, rallyart strutbrace <-- probably the only mitsubish part not modified.
canards, front splitter, butchered front bar, legal height of 100mm 17" wheels of some breed that I painted (I have 2 sets one with street tires and one with track tires)
Currently waiting to fit it in at the tuners to get final power figures - not that i'm chasing numbers.
It's not very pretty to look at but drives quite nicel on the street.
the last pump tune yeilded 275 kws ATW @ 18psi
so i'm keen to see what it now does with 24psi, e85 and bigger coils
Ill post some pics
