Hey All, 

 

Been lurking for a while but thought id throw up a ride thread since iv been getting back into working on the car in the past 3 months.

 

Not much to it, fairly stock

 

1999 Evo VI (Imported, 3rd owner)

130,xxx KM

3in exhaust w/ dump

Yellow speed coilovers

Evo VII Recaros (I liked them more than the stock Evo VI ones)

HKS EVC Handling all the fun and magic 

Intercooler cold side pipe upgrade (doing hot very soon)

re-stitched steering wheel

 

 

 

I have no intention to 'track' this car so its just a fun street toy.

 

Currently sitting the paint is in pretty rough shape so im in the process of getting it resprayed.

 

Parts sitting in the garage waiting for me to get off my lazy ass;

Genuine timing belt kit

New Lifters

slotted rotors

new brake pads

Intercooler pipe upgrade

Evo V boot garnish

 

Things for the future;

Respray

Just a quick question, i have new topline lifters to replace the annoying ticking ones currently installed.
I did some quick reading online and installation seems fairly straight forward except im getting conflicting results on if the lifters should be able to be depressed with your hands but there was a note in the box stating that they were pre-bled but they seem solid and Don't have any play. Should i be able to depress them with ease or is this normal?
I found a few threads here but had conflicting info so im not entirely sure which direction to go.
Thoughts?

I would just get a pin small enough to go through the top hole. This will open the valve and allow it to be pumped by hand. Then install. Takes a few seconds to do.
