MMC Lancer Evolution III RS RWD, Drift Spec - Drifting forum

Nilus · 28-04-2008, 04:13

Greet`s to all

I wish to modestly submit this project:
Lancer Evolution III RS RWD

I bought a car about 6 months ago, specifically for drift.
Before that, I owned an Evo III GSR for about 6 month.

Car spec:

Engine – stock Engine, Trust air filter and blowoff valve.
Stock turbo TD05-16g, pressure about 0.8 bar
Stock 270 hp

Transmission – Exedy single disk clutch kit, stock flywheel, welded viscous coupler, front drive shafts removed. Rear diff – I don`t know correct, but it`s very hard LSD. I think it`s an ATS 1.8 Way LSD. Welded diff will be installed soon.

Suspension - Cusco ZERO 2 for Evo 4-6 (remade by myself), 5 adjustments stiffness, springs front: 7k, rear: 5k, all springs are maximum compressed.
Clearance is about 13 cm.
rear stabilizer stock, front is not connected.
Front lower arms are from MMC RVR n23w Sport Gear, increased wheel base and width, it helped to changed camber and caster.
enhanced rear diff bushes, flooded with most stringent polyurethanes. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED or diff cover, upper diff support will crack

Wheels:
now - 16" Sparco RALLY Tarmac, 7jj, offset +40, 4x114.3
front tires: 205/50R16, rear: 225/50R16
Will be in a week – 17" Rays VOLK GT-P, front 7j offset +35, rear 8j offset + 37, 5x114.3
front tires: 215/40R17, rear: 235/40R17
All hub will be converted to 5 stud bolts

Salon:
Bolted 6 points cage, seats are simple, simple belts, no music, no loudspeakers.

Now the main problem, is the angle of the front wheels, it is very small.
But I already know what to reweld to gain additional 10-15 degrees

questions, suggestions and criticisms are welcome

P.S. I`m VERY sorry for my english

looks good! you removed the front diff/transfer box or just disconnected it? looks ace seeing it sideways

Nilus · 28-04-2008, 08:09

front diff, transfer case and front diff was not modified, not removed and not disconnected
only viscouse coupler is modified and drive shafts are removed

Front stab is cracked, like on many other evo 2-3, it’s a disease on ce9a

I installed stab from lancer cb3a, it’s 21mm, stock was about 16mm,
but new has problem with connection, it’s a little bit different. I’ll solve this problem soon.

Btw, front springs are very stiff, so I don’t feel too much sway, but car is acting like a ball on bumps

kool car mannn... welcome to DW

Nilus · 23-05-2008, 01:21

had installed rear wheel hubs with 5x114.3 studs
then installed my new Rays GT-P rims

and after 5 circuits of drifting, happened very bad thing

yep.... it`s almost cracked
I was lucky that engine blocked on 20km/h at low rpm, or it could crack the engine block!

sad that I spend all my money for the rims

in a couple of month, I`m planing a full engine overhaul, will be installed almost new crankshaft from a/t car, new EVO 9 pistons and rods, planing an overboring to 85.5..... all this must allow me to bost up to 1.5-1.6+ bar without any problems after doing some mods in other parts

I`ll be back!

NikDev · 23-05-2008, 10:12

God luck! Too bad when stuff like that happens! Sort it and Drift it

tech · 23-05-2008, 12:48

gutted for you

looks like a cool project too

CrA5H · 23-05-2008, 13:28

Great EVO! Good work! Man,sh*t happens, don't give up!

Nilus · 24-05-2008, 03:31

I`m not giving up

and I`m not very sad, because I was planing a full engine overhaul this autumn or winter.... sad only for my unavailability for several rounds of our local drift champ

but still thanks all for comments

Nilus · 24-05-2008, 03:40

rod bearing are very thin

all other bearings are in almost normal condition
