Shorty

Will they be ready to paint upon collection or will they require further finishing before painting?

It has been a while since doing it on my RVR HSGR (only three years or so!), but I am eventually writing up the notes I made while doing it.  NB: There may be one or two things missing, but I think it's pretty complete).
 
This is my list of things required for the Racefab bracket version of the upgrade, and I did not change the master cylinder.
 
REQUIRED ITEMS
 
Front and rear Evo Brembo brake calipers (I think mine were from an Evo 8)
- check that across all four calipers that they have all 8x 11mm bleed nipples, 4x spring clips and 8x retaining pins
Front and rear Evo Brembo fitment brake discs/rotors (I used Mtec ones in the the UK)
- fronts are standard Evo Brembo 320mm, but 330mm will fit, and I will be getting these next time.  This is because the calipers sit a few mm further out than the standard Evo fitment so the pads sit a few mm over the edge of the disc
You will need wheels to clear the front calipers once installed
- mine are Evo 6 wheels and the clearance is rather small.  As the calipers sit a few mm further out than normal Evo fitment, other Evo 5-9 wheels should still clear them, but there is a very small chance they might not.  I do not possess a full set of all Evo wheels to try this out!
Racefab Evo 1-3 Brembo front caliper adapters
- only fronts required, rears do not need adapters.
Braided hose (x8)
- optional, but either way, you will need brake lines with the Brembo banjo bolt fitting rather than the normal Mitsi caliper fitting.
- if you don't know, each corner has TWO flexible brake hoses (one from the solid brake line to a short solid line mounted on the suspension, then another from that to the caliper.
- to make the hoses you need 4x Brembo banjo bolt fittings and 12x Mitsi (standard M10) brake fittings.
- hose lengths are (this is tip-to-tip including fittings): 4x 265mm (one end Brembo, other end Mitsi), 2x 295mm and 2x 345mm (front and rear, I forget which way round that is, though I suspect the longer one is for the rear)
Rear Brembo caliper bolts
- you need 4x M10x1.5 bolts for the rear calipers.  Can't quote the length, but I can tell you they need to be about 5mm longer than the stock ones
Don't forget brake fluid and Brembo-fitment brake pads
 
REQUIRED TOOLS
 
10mm hex key/Allen bolt - for the smaller bolts that come with the Racefab adapters.
12mm hex key/Allen bolt - this was a special purchase!  Required for the larger bolts that come with the Racefab adapters
10mm flare spanner - for the brake fittings
11mm ring spanner - for the bleed nipples
Usual brake bleeding gear
Usual 12/14/17mm spanners/sockets etc.
Small grinder/dremel or tin snips - for trimming the dust shields
M14x2.0 tap - needed to tap the front hub carriers to mount the Racefab adapters, this is a fairly large tap, so may not be in many standard tap and die sets
 
SPECIAL NOTES - Front
 
No caliper milling/grinding was required.
No carrier/knuckle grinding was required.
Dust shield needs trimming or pushing back, and needs removing where the caliper mounts up.
 
SPECIAL NOTES - Rear
 
Don't forget to wind off the handbrake shoes!
Dust shield will need trimming.
 
And that's pretty much it lol!  As I said, there could be a couple of things I've missed, or may vary slightly if wheels, calipers, brackets, bolts etc. have tiny differences between them across the Evo and RVR range of bits.
 
Otherwise, I don't think a full guide is needed, as it is basically removing one lot of brake lines and calipers and refitting another set!
 
Hope this helps someone, sorry it took a while - I may have mentioned in a previous post or two that I am really slooooooow!  I mean, I had the Brembos for the three years prior to fitting them!

Thanks for taking the time to provide such detailed information. I'm certain this will help me and others in the future.

I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned this before, but I find this site to be incredibly helpful when looking for parts.

After finding the part number I have found three reputable suppliers for factory or OEM equivalency.

www.fitinpart.sg

These guys have one of the largest OEM new old stock parts list availability I've ever seen. I've picked up some very hard to find parts through them, including the black centre twin air vent console to replace one with broken fins. They can be expensive and a little frustrating when suppliers cancel orders that you place due to stock levels. Not fitinpart's fault exactly but they do have excellent customer service, a very solid returns policy and delivery is exceptionally quick when you use DHL to receive your items

www.amayama.com.au they also have quite a comprehensive database of Mitsubishi RVR parts available. I've found with amayama that again, cancelled orders due to stock levels can be frustrating but part of the game I guess. Customer service is good and will happily refund quickly when things go out of stock.

There is also another group called Partsouq. https://partsouq.com/
I've never used them but have seen products listed as available.

BTW www.epc-data.com has many schematics and parts details for all the major brands and manufactures. It's my parts Bible.

It's been off the road since 2012, so it's been quite a long, slow process to find and source the parts needed.

Once the mechanical work is complete, the only thing is the usual roof rust to be done and it will be ready to go.

No. It was never available as an option from the factory. I've been through my JDM RVR brochures and there is no mention of cruise control anywhere.
They did offer this very strange automatic window curtain system that you can raise and lower from the drivers seat...
