Hooray! Good to hear he didn't set it on fire as most do.

He probably put 91octane in and was gunning it on your 98 tune :/

What a moron.

Steals car, drives it as if it's his own, repeatedly in same area, AND asks neighbors for help with it?

What an absolute amateur. Hopefully the car isn't in to bad of a shape mate.

I dunno, I guess it would depend on your emotional attachment to the car.

I know for me if the car was still Mechanicly and it'd only be taken/stolen by joyriders if nothing was wrong I'd want it back. Plus, I'd loose a fair bit of excess if it was stolen.

So I thought having a stock standard Evo would stop all the cop troubles

Nek minnit, pulled over by 3 cop cars and about 7 officers

"This is a random check" "we thought your number plates were home made"

Dafuq?

Let go with a merry Christmas..

lol @ above

I've seen homemade like cardboard plates on trailers they never seem to get in trouble

Went through breatho last night cop was a good bloke actually obviously not like they'd look over my car or whatever but was just a normal human for a change

Edited by alr33x

Nah they were fine. Checked the hooks and said they were secure so its fine.. Just thought the plates were home made.. I mean its Dandenong, my car was probably the only one that hasn't got home made shit on it in the whole suburb.

But the cop was fine. Polite and all said hi to everyone in the car lol. That was it.

yeah, but the USA plates do look pretty different, even if the letters and numbers are correct.

I dont' mind being pulled over for this kinda shit, it's how you are treated once pulled over that shows whether they are a pig or a cop

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
