Alright guys hows it going?

Unfortunately as many of yous will knwo evos can be a bit of a money pit :p i have found this out the harsh way after now owning the car for 8 months it has jus been through its first major overhaul at kenny brown motor engineeering in hillington. The car needed the following work:

o/s/r trailing arm
n/s/r trailing arm
2 new track rod ends
full underseal
sills reshaped after some idiot jacked the car up on the wrong place :(
hks coilovers seized up so bought new hyc fully adjustable ones (cost a bloody arm and a leg)
brand new tyes all round
brand new 17" enkei alloy wheels in gunmetal as revolution alloys had two buckles in them due to my dad hitting a roundabout too fast :p
ayc flushed and checked over
exhaust blow fixed
full service

This nice we list came to a grand total of £2500 :0 :(

I knew it was going to cost a lot and unfortunately due to my dad not being well i came to the decision that the jordan now had to go in order to pay for the repairs myself. The jordan is now off to its new home after the owners picked the car up yesterday was gutted to see it go but i have something lined up in this place :)

Heres some pics of how the car now looks :) its due to go back in 700 miles to get dampners set and possibly go slightly lower as i am just letting the suspension bed in

looks sexy! black and red lip alloys would make it even hotter.
 
Thats very nice

The only thing that puts me off owning an evo is the cost of running them.
My teg costs me enough as it is let alone boost :nerv:

Enjoy it man :nice:
 
epic car hope this is about when I come up for the underseal
 
Nice to see her all sorted Dan , that a fair price

Its looking good but i preferred the white wheels sorry Lol
