Well, work is finally underway on the '07 track version of my Evo. Not a lot of new mods this year (so I can stay in class), but so far I seem to have spent plenty of cash on maintenance stuff.
As for the mods I am doing, there are 2 big ones - I'll be installing an RS limited slip front diff in place of my stock open front diff, and I'll also be throwing in an '05 turbo and ported mainifold. The '05's came with a larger hotside than the 03-04's, and is generally good for 10-15 whp. I got the whole turbo, ported mani, and o2 housing for not much more than an o2 and hotside alone go for with the added bonus that it was taken off the car with just a couple thousand miles of use.
The rest of the work is to make sure the car stays together this year. Longer wheel studs up front to help accomodate spacers to widen the track, new DBA slotted rotors, really cool forged aluminum lug nuts, a competition valve job, along with a slew of PM items like t-belt, head gasket, bs belt, and misc other gaskets. Then it's off to the dyno for some tuning with race gas. I'm shooting for around 370 awhp on the good stuff, which along with the 255 Hoosier R6's should make the car very competitive this year. Hopefully I can drive it to it's potential.

Did some work yesterday. Modified the brake dust shields, installed ARP studs to make room for the spacers, and put on the new DBA rotors. I may get to the front LSD today, then it's back up top to tear apart the engine.

Actually they seem to get lighter as time passes. Last summer you couldn't read the logo at all. Hopefully the Ti shims, air guides, and cut dust shields will help. I run a VERY agressive pad that generates a lot of heat. Boiling fluid was a big problem last year.

Ok, the LSD is in, new turbo is all prepped, head is at the tuner, new cams are here, and I'm down to the last few purchases before the season starts. I've picked up no less than 5 sponsors for the season and I'll be running Hankook slicks (and street tires in case it rains) to take advantage of a generous new contingency program. The car should be wicked fast and stick like glue. With any luck at all it will tuned and ready by the end of next week. April 20th can't get here soon enough!
