Well exuse us, not many guys have cell phones that take pictures LOL j/p

Hell I don't have a cell phone period cause I got the last Evo that came out

To be honest, It looks like the only think the Evo IV has over the EvoIII is the Alloy 1-way gear, 3 piece shaft and the new suspension. And the "bling factor"

Looks like I can hop an Evo SL up to IV spec, might not be TCS eligeable but I can't get to the site of the local TCS anyway.

The Alloy gear is an option:cry: ..... but it might be worth it..I'll let you all know when I test it at the track this Friday...of how it holds up to the Shake down/break parts run:lol: :sweat:

Chassis prep done
 
..all the prep work is done on the EVO4 now..:nod:.. putting it together now..and taking step by step shot`s that I`ll have up in less that 24hrs:sweat: :nod: :sneaky: .. Very good Quality through out on this kit.. one thing to point out is that the a-arms need a little prep work with a file and a hole reamer..(3.05mm one is best).. also I was able to get a set of good ceramic bearings for the car...minus the hard to get 950 sized ones:rolleyes: :cry:

Hi dave, perhaps you can clarify for me--is the bottom deck 2.5mm or 3mm thick? Thanks, Jeff
Not sure this will be a problem because of the overall stiffness of the entire chassis. (my E3 has a 3mm chassis and it has more flex than the E4)

I think you will find that this is a much different car...from suspension to drive train:nod:

That is a relief. The tweak on the EVO3 is a bigger problem than the gear stripping problem IMHO.
