Cheers mate. Thats what im after.

Does anyone have an unmolested evo or gsr loom from a front cut they don't want?

I have a EII GSR complete front cuts loom minus the climate control.

If your car is a gsr the dash looms are pretty much identical to a GLi or GLXi looms pick and pull would sort this out cheaply

[vsthis]

I have an Aus spec GSR but i've had the climate control conversion done. I'd probably prefer an evo loom so i can hook up the evo III boot foglights to the standard switch and hook up some fold in mirrors.

Maybe i could use yours liberoz and just use my climate control loom?

A tiny update. But it's taken a loooooong time to get this so i think it's worth it.

After 4 or so years of looking for one, this arrived in the mail recently:




And here it is dummy fitted on the car:

[JC evo1]

lookn good!

[vsthis]

I could only dummy fit it as the Aus spec numberplate holes are different to the jap spec ones. (only found this out today!) It fits on my gen evoIII bootlid that i'm going to use eventually so i'll have to hold on to it until then. I don't want to drill holes in it for risk of cracking it.

DAYMN they look good!

I dont think they would look good on a RED car like mine.

[vsthis]

I recon it looks really good on red.

I disagree.

Owning a red Gsr I can see that there would be TOO much red on the rear. The black breaks it up a lot!

Other colours:thumbsup: Red pass........

they look good ,

Richard will be though

Each to their own i suppose. Your car does look tough enough without dressing it up though!

Has richard been looking for one?

Nice Damo!

[vsthis]

Nice Damo!
Hows the build coming along?

Nothing much going on with the build mate. Still collecting bits and pieces. It's all starting to pile up though!

So far i've got these parts sitting waiting to be installed:

HKS coilover adjustable suspension
HKS Camber Tops
GTO Front calipers (making up braket and chasing up slotted discs)
Cusco Carbon fibre front strut brace
Meek ECU Chip
Apexi SAFC
Apexi turbo timer
AVC-R Apexi Boost Controller
Pivot Shift light
Skunk 2 adjustable Cam Gears
BC 272 Cams
Meek revised lifters
Malpassi adj fuel Regulator
HKS fuel rail
Walbro 255/l Fuel Pump
Meek Polished Intercooler Kit
Powdercoated rocker cover
Billet spark plug cover
Clear timing belt cover
Cusco Brake stopper
Cusco radiator cooling panel
Evo III Genuine Bootlid with spoiler
Evo III Genuine Rear bar with pods
Evo Genuine alloy bonnet
Sparco Rally 17" Wheels (getting fixed up and repainted)
Alpine 6.5" Splits (for the front)
Evo VI climate control unit (going to see if i can get it to work)
Optima yellow top D34 battery


Parts i've got on the way:

Evo II complete motor with blown head gasket
2x Alpine X-Type 12" subs
2x Alpine PDX 1000.1 Amps
Genuine Evo roof with sunroof and interior lining


Parts i'm still chasing:

Unmolested GSR or EVO dash wiring loom
Evo fold in mirrors with switches
IC spray switche
Foglight switch
Evo front guards
Evo III Genuine front bar with lip
Evo III Genuine Skirts
Forged Engine rebuild parts rods/pistons/bearings/studs etc
(not sure if i'm going stroked or staying 2L)
Turbo setup depening on type of motor build
Front and rear lsd with aus spec gsr ratios
twin pot rear brake setup (top secret!)
Alpine headunit IVA-D106EV (or equivilant closer to completion)

I'm planning on building the motor over the next 12-18months. Respraying the entire car as a bare shell with all genuine parts installed and putting all the goodies on then. That way it will all be shiny and new once its done.

There will be a new stereo setup. Still deciding on designs.

My evo III seats will be getting retrimmed and rebolstered with subtle changes. Door trims will be modified and retrimmed to suit seats and to accept the x-type splits.

I've got a plan for the center dash surround thats a little bit different with relocation of the climate control unit(hopefully the evo VI unit), head unit and incorperating the AVCR and SAFC displays.

A few other things in the pipeline. Been trying out the evo vi seats i have compared to the evo iii ones etc.

And in the mean time, i'm just enjoying the very occasional drive around in current (close to stock) state.

Has richard been looking for one?

Not really actively looking but I do really want one!

Where did you find that one?

Looks great, loving the parts to do list!!

[GSRSOL]

sounds like this will be a mean machine in the near future! What colour will you be painting it?

[GSRSOL]

[vsthis]

After taking a bit of a break from working on the old girl, I've decided to get her spruced up for a good summer.

Not much of an update so far but watch this space over the next few months! There's a lot of parts lying around in my shed begging to be used!!!

Does anyone know of a good wheel straightening/painter in Melbourne?

[flyboy11]

Nice looking ride there.. like the colour.

[GSRSOL]

Try Colorurmags Damo ...

I still have that garnish of yours also!

Thanks mate.

Will do. I don't think he straightens wheels though but i'll give him a call.

Do you have that fuel pump? I can't remember if i got it off you and I thought i better check before i pull my shed apart looking for it!!
