yeah i bet, I wont miss mine any.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

well with the help of my dad and my buddy kevin we got all the evo II doors on and working after some fixing of the wiring that I redid to make the usa doors work with the jdm harness. we also got the rear toe arms on. that was a pain in the ass. The oem ones were also ajustable but were frozen and ended up cutting them out with the saws all.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Awesome, glad you got them on! These doors are much lighter, correct?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good mark!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Hmm... I thought the Evo 3 doors were the lighter ones

Those are evo 2 doors....

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

We weighed them before we put them on, and they were prettymuch the exact same weight as the doors he had. But these are in better condition, so it wasn't a complete waste ;)

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

boo didn't make it lighter, but at least the door panels fit the switches now.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

^^ Yeah, and all the locks and window controls work like they should too :)

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Wow.. I can't believe all the work you've put into this! It looks so amazing!!
The pink VC looks sick!! Love it!!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

that is what I was thinking also.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Did you get the TOB today?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

here is the fix for the loose flywheel. used the 2.4 auto spacer ring and tacked the bolts after they were torqued down so they will not come loose a 2nd time.

the new PTT t.o. bearing that you need to put the oem backing plate one

after I cut apart the oem t.o. bearing and pressed it on to the PTT bearing. It is so nice to have a 12ton shop press to do stuff like this and not have to pay for it.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Awesome!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

he needs help putting it back together, kevin he needs your manly strength to help him.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Everyone needs my manly strength! I'd help, but I'll be at work. I'm willing to swing by afterwards if he still needs a hand though.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Oh man I'm so excited to see this beast with some fresh paint on it. Going to be oh so sexy.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

well yesterday I got the wood templates made and got them mounted to the evo III knuckle with the 1g 5lug hub in them. I had to tap the knuckle with a 5/8 tap to put the bolt in to it and get longer bolts for the brembos. It all went easy till I went to fit the 18's on it and they do not clear at all. the back spacing on the evo III knuckle is totaly diffrent from the evo 8/9 knuckle's offset. So now I am at a stand still because to make the fronts work I will need a 1/2in spacer or so to get the rims on them now. But the thing is if I put them 1/2 spacer on and mount it all on the car for mock up and it sticks out of the fender I will be scraping it all together.
here are the pics of what I have done to make them fit so far.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

got some spacers today from my bro. The rims now clear the brakes by a mm or 2. the plates are 7/16in thick. next will be to get the knuckle on the car with the rim to check out the clearence from the coils and to see if it will still be all in the fenders

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Nice wheels ;)

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks pretty damn sick. Those are evo 8/9 brembo's, right?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Yup, they are from an VIII.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

that they are I might try to get some 1/2 spacers to get a little more room from the caliper to the rims

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looking good man! Can't wait to see it all together!!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Close clearance just helps provide better fan like cooling. I say rock it! :nod:

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always told that running a spacer, especially a 1/2" should be avoided at all cost?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Its not ideal, but if you have extended wheel studs and hubcentric spacers they will work just fine (only with some added stress to the wheel bearings). Running a non-hubcentric spacer, like the ones pictures above, can cause wheel vibration from imbalance if they aren't installed perfectly straight. Knowing Mark, it wouldn't surprise me if he just welded them right to the brake rotor to keep them centered!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Looks good! Can't wait to see them all mounted up!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

the spacers are cheap from craig they were 10.00 for a set of 2. I am getting them from craig beacuse I can bring them back after I get them all set up to see what I need to run for a spacer then I can order a set that will bolt to the hubs and have the ring on them but just want to do it 1 time sense they are 90.00+shipping. It will all come down to if it all sits with in the fenders or not when it has the right spacers on it. If they dont I will just put on the 5 lug and the 2g aem big brake kit and be done with it and put the brembos on the spyder.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
