Part 12 - Painting Underneath The Evo 6 Bright White - JDM

[@projectfearn]

Whats the worst rot you lot have seen on a car? Any horror stories?

[@LawrenceTimme]

A guy at works dad had a damper van with crushed tin cans welded together as the foot well, because aluminium doesn't rust right. :P

[@projectfearn]

Brilliant :)

[@Mk2Mitch]

No horror stories but every Ford I’ve had has ended up needing welding 🙄

[@kbullough1986]

My previous Evo 6 was absolutely rotten underneath and the guys at AMD sorted mine out too 👍🏻

[@SupramanTRD]

My evo without a doubt. My Hondas have nothing in terms of rust compared to the evo

[@arthurmatthews9321]

The sudden cut out is over boost protection. The ecu cuts the ignition when it senses an over boost.

[@kells77]

The upside down calliper stickers would drive me crazy ha

[@projectfearn]

It will be sorted before the new wheels go on don't you worry yourself haha :)

[@AWOL_ODST]

Lol I spotted that too. Was just the right front which was odd. Easy fix thou if not clear coated.

[@Neil_Gordon]

Great that AMD looked after you and the underside has had the work done properly. Good advice also on how to look after these cars.

[@mgtkr1]

i had an xtreme twin plate. after a couple of hundred miles i noticed similar symptoms to what you descirbe. a slight hesitation/thud in the drivetrain that would happen once every time you got on the gas. it turned out to be the clutch hub had sheared and was moving (the hesistation) and then gripping again as the two pieces trapped themselves togethor. shortly after this i was giving it some stick and i just lost drive completely. an act clutch replaced it and ive had no issues since

[@guesswho6162]

I’ve a evo6 too bud,, mines is rotten to underneath but it’s been in uk since 2000,,,,I’m in the middle of a rebuild myself,,,there going up and up in price, in a few years all your hard work will pay off keep up the good work

[@karriemsodfbt]

Thanks for that's heads up. I'm looking at bringing a Evo 5 to the US. you are right never thought about under the car just the body work.

[@projectfearn]

Good luck pal :)

[@SupramanTRD]

I can't believe I came by this video! I have a white 1999 evo 6 with underbody rust. I had planned on vapour blasting it, using epoxy primer, and black raptorliner...which happens to be exactly what you did.

[@projectfearn]

Good luck mate :)

[@bryanwilliams7530]

Good job/work, well worth every penny, as rust is the evo killer, imports not undersealed in Japan, underseal was one of 1st things I got done when mine arrived

[@projectfearn]

Yeah it looks mint now :)

[@hayleymolland1216]

You're such a inspiration,thanks.

[@projectfearn]

I know x

[@stevesas632]

Good vid man. My EVO 8 has an advisory for corrosion on rear suspension arm mounting, so need to get sorted by next year. It's a tank & rear suspension down job so labour cost mainly.

[@layton7430]

I dropped my evo 4 off last Saturday to have all the underneath done same as your, Timing belt, tensioners and water pump, All calipers refurbished, 4 wheel bearings replaced, Stainless brake lines, drilled and grooved disks and pads installed, Evo 8 bov installed and slight engine tune up to fix stalling at stops, Every bush underneath replaced with whiteline bushes, Front and rear subframes powder coated and all track arms, wishbones etc powder coated

[@layton7430]

Same place AMD ltd wigan

[@projectfearn]

Its in good hands mate. :)

[@layton7430]

@@projectfearn I hope so, hope no corners are cut, my bill came in a grand more

[@projectfearn]

I can only go off my experience mate and they were spot on. I asked them to take piccies each day etc which they did and sent me keeping me up to date. Only thing wrong was a brembo decal the wrong way up on a brake caliper. :)

[@layton7430]

@@projectfearn yeah I always seem to get stuffed initially I'm excited so mustn't be paying mush attention then as the novelty wears off I start to notice that actually they didn't do as good of a job as I thought (regards work on my home, n other cases)

[@LawrenceTimme]

The cutting out under heavy throttle could well be fuel related. My mondeo St did similar thing and then go into limp mode and it turned out to be the fuel pump.

[@projectfearn]

Dont be saying things like fuel pump haha :)

[@kbullough1986]

Is it not just the spark plugs?

[@projectfearn]

Soon find out pal :)

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

Just want to know was the car sandblasted first before the underseal was done?

[@projectfearn]

It was taken back to metal, rust treated, primed then painted :)

[@Eddiebayes177]

Hi I've got the same problem with the power loss ,have you figured out what it was

[@projectfearn]

Not yet. I think its an over boosting problem but will be getting it sorted soon

[@jimparry3499]

Do you mind me asking what the cost was for the underside repair and treatment?

[@projectfearn]

Around £1600 mate. But probably more now 😎

[@jimparry3499]

@@projectfearn Thanks for the reply! 👍🏻 Eesh! I have one with 27k on the clock, even that needs to have the bottom freshened up a bit! No holes I don’t think but it’s a bit scabby! Would really like it done properly instead of just undersealed like you said! 👍🏻

[@projectfearn]

Worth every penny mate 😎

[@jimparry3499]

@@projectfearn Yeah definately. I’ve given you a follow on Instagram, may message for in the future for any advice if that’s okay with you! Helpful to have someone who’s done it all! 👍🏻

[@projectfearn]

Yeah mate message anytime:)

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Was it fuel when it cut out on boost

[@projectfearn]

They havent got round to looking at that yet :)

[@bryanwilliams7530]

Good call, usually the pumps get updated to walbro ones

[@brockisboi]

Had this problem on my 5 it was over boosting , be nice to see what yours is

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Could be, over boosting so its leaning out, I had this on a turbo 205 and needed a new fuel pump. Is it stock ? I’m shocked you had this much rust on a fresh import, mine came over 2017 as we’ll

[@projectfearn]

Yeah me too. It came with snow tyres on so that shows it been somewhere snowey. Just glad its sorted and looking clean :)

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Much better now tho, they have done a good job

[@projectfearn]

Yeah i am really happy with it :)

[@gtrsfk9001]

Mate with the ayc lights on do you feel a difference in the grip/handling?

[@projectfearn]

To be honest mate I didn't drive the car hard enough to tell the difference 😎

[@MahitRulez]

Hi can you do a video explaining the cost of the car to registering it kinda confused

[@projectfearn]

Check my other play lists i did a whole series on it :)

[@2jzgte351]

How much did it cost you for all the work underneath?

[@projectfearn]

They carried out the following work: - Clean underside and wheel arches of car - Strip back to metal - Cut out and fix the holes in the driver and passenger footwells - Sort out corrosion to front and back of both rear chassis legs - Rust treat it - Etch Primer It - Spray underneath and wheel arches with UPOL Raptor in white - Remove, strip, repaint and re-sticker the brack claipers - Read codes and fix AYC fault - Diagnose ABS Fault In total it came to £1540 and was paid in cash, hope this helps :)

[@OTHERJ4M33L]

@@projectfearn that's a really good price

[@projectfearn]

It was indeed. Going back some years now though. 😎

Its a curse mate. You will stop driving it 🤣🤣🤣

[@terryph7808]

Osf brembo sticker on wrong way round lol. I'm OCD and after all the money they cost it would have to be right! Do you still have the car?

[@SupramanTRD]

How much did this cost? because mine is almost identical. Rust and all

How has it rusted so badly after one uk winter????????!!!!!

[@projectfearn]

It looks like it spent some of its time in a snowy region of Japan :)

[@df9834]

Love the car Danny, But it’s costing you Big bucks pal 😬But definitely worth it if you’re keeping it mate 👍

Shhh if we dont talk about money its as if it didnt cost anything ha

Fuel cut

[@projectfearn]

You think that is the issue with the slight cut out under heavy acceleration?

[@hi2lenduffy837]

Friend of mine has an evo 5 and his was fuel cutting like that and it was because the actuator had rotted inside

[@projectfearn]

Hopefully they can figure it out. Will keep you updated mate :)

[@scottcoombe]

Hi bud did u ever find out what the jerking was..my evo TME started doing this. Changed plugs and coils....still the same

[@projectfearn]

Turned out to be the throttle bottle seals leaking slightly 😎
