Just a brief update from my last time here.

 

Installed:

Project Mu HC+ Front Pads

DBA T3 Front Rotors

BC Coilovers

Evo 3 Side Skirts and Rear Pods.

 

Stuff to awaiting installation:

Ferodo DS2500 Rear Pads

RDA Rear Rotors (on the way)

 

Didnt feel like spending money buying new indicators as i previously mentioned, i went with the $15 spray paint option and i am very very happy with how it came up.

Where'd you buy the spray? I also didn't want to spend big bucks on genuine corners and decided to wrap mine with orange tint, came out ok but the tint has started peeling off :/

Looks great mate!

Tamiya model car spray Ian....ive seen a mates done with that...turned out ok.

Thanks jamo, and just spray on lightly?

Till the desired effect is achieved I suppose....

I bought mine from a local Auto Store, Auto1...pretty sure super cheap stock them as well.

Looks good mate! I reckon if you get white enkei tarmacs you will finish off that look!

 

I ended up buying non-oem new orange corner lights from Malaysia..waiting for them to arrive but they were pretty cheap so can't really go wrong even if they don't fit too well.

 

Evo 3 FTW! Then Tommy Mak, then all other ones. E7 would be at the bottom of that list for me!

 

Also regarding ECM Link. Its great value for $, but the downside is you can only get ECM Lite for early evo's, which means we miss out on a lot of the cool options that ECM Full has (switchable maps eg 98 and E85, boost control, etc).

 

If you want to go all out, standalone aftermarket ECU is where it's at.

That or evoscan and late model ecu conversion ftw

How does this feel compared to some of your previous Evo's Jon?

[jonbatz01]

Very very different haha.

 

In other Evos, i felt invincible, this one is keeping me real

 

At least, if i master how to drive this one, i know its all me

I still t
Think the later Evo ecu conversion is the best option. Plenty of people have proven that you can run big power on the later Evo ecus, and get all the great extra features (such as NLTS, dual maps, boost control, etc), and get the benefits of a stock ecu (knock control, cold start etc).
And it is so easy to do.

[evo-gsr]

Exactly what I have done ^

Any ideas or comments on a PowerFC?

 

I ended up going EVO V PowerFC with a CE9A to CP9A converter.
