Swapping out the upper dash top for the #evo9

25 screws later, pop the rivets on the old VIN plaque to transfer over and voila. No more torn dash 🤘🏻

Late post but wanted to thank the @wekfest_usa crew for throwing down yet again in SEA! Great to see some old faces and meet some new ones.

Best BMW, Best Widebody and Best SUV @twcompetition_viet brought his fleet of heavy hitters including a very special OG SoCal show car..

Highlight of the day was @fishbowln seeing the final product after all of the hours poured into this project. Can’t thank you, @slowprogress and @bird.sean enough 🤘🏻

I’m getting the Honda itch again… kind of a problem 🤪💀

Blueberry and Old Red…

TE’s or E50’s😍 Both look incredible but change the entire demeanor of the car!

This is one of those details most won’t ever see. I know it’s been addressed correctly, not hidden and “forgotten” about…

If you’re going to make the effort to do something, make it better than it was when you found it..

Dash support bar and door panel hardware turned into jewelry, only to be covered with a wiring harness and hidden behind the dashboard. Some choose paint, some powder coat but the ideal option would be a sacrificial coating like zinc or cadmium for bare steel in the interior.

Just got in a new old stock Evo 8 wing.

Absolutely mint, never mounted with original gaskets.. I swear the hunt/chase for some of these parts is half the fun.. 🤩

Long block components are all here! @arlington_machine Fresh Mivec head, new 4g63 block from @mitsubishimotorsofficial New old stock Mitsu lifters, rocker arms, GSC R2’s and all the billet fixins🤘🏻

Funny looking EG parts… OEM+ is turning into JDM++ 🤦🏼‍♂️😍

Not even mad about it..
