Pulled the dah out of the EVO, removed the blower and air con units. Also completely removed the alarm, so much tidier with no alarm wiring.

Oh and added boost gauge just because it was $12 dollars.

First a heater hose blew, then the bypass hose started leaking, then the bottom half of the tee piece off the thermostat housing sheared off.
Then found the waterpump return pipe was corroded and leaking, then finally the waterpump decided to crap itself :lol:
Its been a long and expensive few months :lol:

found the 1geu and meu have the same ignition system. Thought it looked familiar.

Looked into it, both have the same output, same stroke etc. What the $&#$% was the point?

Anyone tried to confirm the year of their car? Fairly sure mines up the piss. Anyway to check it and get it corrected? Or is that a can of worms best left?

Not sure, 17" or 18" I would say. Tempted to buy them, clean them and whack them on TM for a vast profit from idiots

Pricing up some more Speedflow fittings and braided hose to redo the oil cooler set up on my Trueno. Damn it adds up quick, originally had one of those universal oil cooler kits with super long hoses. Those hoses don't fit Speedflow fittings either.
