Latish last year in 2010 I bought a Gsr which had been converted by some Martin Griggs? to Evo 3 spec which included engine/drivetrain etc off a member off this site which was shaunevo
When I got the car it wasnt and still isnt in the best condition at all and after getting through xmas and a brief rest in between jobs, I (meaning my wallet!) am ready to bring some shine back to this vehicle
Things that need attention on the car are:
SIDE SKIRTS - Ive got some sika flex to remount them smoothly BUT Ive lost the locknut to the wheel nuts so I havent been able to take the wheels off to get to them more easily
If anyone can tell me where to get one of the hexagon type locknuts (very common although not at any the usual outlets for sale 
) from that would be much appreciated 
CV JOINTS - Shes got loud clicking on both turns and lately has developed a annoying tapping (dont think its metallic) noise in 4th gear which gets worse on acceleration and eases up on decel, I called Advanced Jap Autos to see if they could have a look at it for me and it seems that the job was probaly not worth their time so thay called me back and said they couldnt do it, If anyone knows a shop or backyarder who can help me I would greatly appreciate the pointer
That is all the basic things that are wrong with the car atm and hopefully that is as bad as it gets fingerscrossed! and again if anyone can help with the above please feel free to reply any suggestions as I wont be start to mod this car until the above is attended to.
Since Ive had the car Ive had the timing belt and fluids changed and new spark plugs.
Ive been reading on this site for a bit and it seems the 3 engine isnt too boost happy so I had to have a real think about the direction I want to modify this in. Im hoping with basic mods to acheive around the 300bhp mark>Am I dreaming
The very first things Im going to do is relocate the battery to the boot and install a boost gauge just to check how much boost shes running with a ralliart chip?
Then I do the usual breathing mods full turbo back exhaust intake etc and "lil" bit more boost
(The exhaust seems to be not as sttraight forward as other turbo cars according the multiple searches regarding boost creep etc but Ill be asking some more questions regarding that once exhaust time comes)
After the basics Im thinking aftermarket ecu with slighty bigger injectors and getting it tuned along with apprpriate gauges
Also on a side note I believe the car already has a wallbro fuel pump installed, Is it a good thing on its own or should I have a regulator installed as well?
I hope to update asap and will hopefully have some pics up next week although for those of you who the car already know what it looks/looked! like (Damn the white wheels looked so nice on it
)cheers all.
