    I know the owner. We used to be in the same Evo group and did events together. He dealt with so much stupid shit just to get the car to run right until all this legal shit happened. I'm just glad it's out of his hair so he can get his Evo up and running again. Also helps with his overall morale

    I just love the thinking process, what do we have, what can we recoup, what is financially viable, and so on. That gives a different view on: I must rebuild with the old parts. You are in the extreme lucky circumstances to be able to pull parts out of a huge warehouse and that makes rescuing this beautiful car a dream come true, for the car. Such a shame the previous owner got this shoved down his throat. That is a huge bill to swallow.

  • @chrisadams1063
    @chrisadams1063 Před měsícem

    I watched one of these videos and I seen where everybody was replacing the spoiler parts. These parts on the back of porches that I just learned about are not supposed to be installed. That way, there's supposed to be installed or less factory or the fan will be interrupted. The interruption is because you threw off the signal to the smaller at higher space. Now it will not read it won't raid the temperature and it won't cut the fan on plus there's several other problems that can be involved in interruptions. And operations of the cooler fan. It is true that these cars can make up the 900 horse. But the one there and the 911 just learned about was that 9000 RPM to make 6900 horse. The interruption is from the fact that the person ruined the car going over the recommended RPM by the results of destruction to the internal combat and engines rotating assembly.

    This is also where the tools are very important to specific cars. Some tools become interruptions. Interruptions and to working on these cars come from the tools and hand tools and electronics. It should never be used on. These is including General motors forward Dodge Porsche Ferrari Lamborghini. Mazarati.
