Researching AWD Conversion
I dont think u'll be able to fit 8" wide rims under the CH though as the 'flares' bolt onto the existing metal guards --- u dont cut any metal away to make the guards effectively wider like 'good' wideybody kits tell you to do. 8" wheels with a +29 offset will most definitely fowl in my opinion , probably even worse with the flares u want to get.
FLARES can look 'okay' generally... as long as your car doesnt end up looking like this. lol

Plans sound good Diavlo 
No idea ... but 100s of people like that owner give N/A povpack Lancers a bad name in Australia !!! Hell, i was one of those people who'd NEVER buy a lancer until i actually drove one, yet i still cant stand the majority of ricer mentality that exists on MLGA lol.

I actually posted up on the OT forum with the title "The new and improved Mitsubishi Lancer STI".
You should've seen the comments
Seriously, I want to go on a CH Cruise but am to embarrassed to do so.

Yeah that particular car looks awful! But the arches actually look pretty good and give the Lancer a much needed shot of excitement down the side.
Obviously when you have bigger arches you should try to fill them as best you can. So maybe with a little arch rolling I might be able to do somat nice with them.

If anyone wants the flares I ordered them from here as they appear to be made in Australia.

It reminds me of a hyndai tiberian thingy. One of the first ones they came out with. Maybe a tiberon kit, I don't know, the kit is ugly. I also don't care for the fender flares much either.
Right we are almost ready to begin this now.
I am about to order the RRM Head and when I recieve that we will remove the engine, change the head, send mine back to them and use the core for the Cam, whilst at the same time swapping all the AWD hardware.
I'll start a new photo diary topic as soon as we start work... Depends on how long RRM take to send me the head!

It seems we got off topic for the last little bit, glad to hear things are going in the right direction. What part of the swap will you start with, the transmission or the rear dif?
