Car looks great. Let us know how the fan controller works out.

Are you going to part out the old subframe, or is it gone already?

Thanks guys. She did not like either but said that at least this one wasn't black and was more interesting because of the brackets.

I had the engine running for about 15-20 minutes. The controler ramps up the fan RPM slowly and modulates the fan based on the temp. It seems to be working as I can see and hear the fan speed change as the radiator temps get higher. As for the sub, the brakes, spindles, UCAs and LCAs have been sold. Not sure what I will do with the rest of it.

Can you get pics of the seats installed. Which Evo model did they come from?

That's what I was looking for in fan controllers. I looked at DC controls but their lack of response from my inquiries kind of turned me off. Does it use its own proprietary temp sensor, or can it be used with other make's sensor (Dakota Digital, etc...)?

Thanks.

The seats are 2003 EVO VIII in cloth with suede bolsters. The EVO 10 has a taller seatback so I did not like those as I think they came too close to the roof . I will get pics as soon as I get is back on the wheels and i can get it outside with more light.

I had the same issue you did with DCC. I looked at different controllers and this one from Radio Research uses his own sensor which is a copper or brass band with 2 wire coming off of it. I think he uses some sort of resistor in the module to sense it. It mounts in between the lower radiator hose and the radiator outlet to the engine. He sells on ebay and has videos on the web. This video is for the controller I bought and he eplains how his works and its features.

Hope this helps
