Might need a new wheel



Only problem is the service intervals are about 6000 miles.
Would be good on the drag strip though

It would be easier as a Mid/Rear engine setup, so you can keep the engine transverse, as i dont think there are any setups using that engine longditudionally

No they aren't!
The engine service intervals are 10-12k
The rear diff service intervals are 4.5k (service entails checking the oil level in the bottle in the boot and actuating the diff whilst the vehicle is on a 4 poster lift to check for air locks)

Now that would make a quick car. I was talking to a locl guy who was planning on using an evo engine for a se7en. Madness i say

Do you think it will polish out? Might need G3 though.

Don't like this though:

WE HAVE HAD THE CAR RUNNING BUT DUE TO OIL COOLER DAMAGE NOT FOR LONG



Don't know how the oilcooler is plumbed in on the evo, but most use a takeoff plate between oil filter and oilpump so they ran it probably without oil pressure

i suppose you would need to check the front upright for damage if you intend on using them?
IM sure uve thought of that and im just stating the obvious but justr in case

If you can afford to think of using that for a donor you're definitely in the wrong place I think

The service intervals are every 4500miles I owned an evo 8 in 2006 for 8 month,Sold it due to high running costs
