Nice design, good to clamp into the tow hook. Another board member, "rallytrack" used to and may still make a hitch for the Evo. For example see

there are a couple of kits available for the base lancer that fit just fine and require much less effort to install than your idea.
Vishnu used one on their evo when they did the lap of america.
http://www.drawtite-hitches.com/hitc...i&model=Lancer
the link points to three different brands available that just bolt up to the stock OEM bumper beam and the factory rear tie-down.
Each are not more than $100 for the kit. but like your hitch, modifying the rear bumper skin would be required for access to the reciever.

Why not just get a beat up Toyota Tacoma 4x4?

I am not saying that this is 100% correct. But my Evo is daily driver. I love the car. I dont need a second car, as this fall i am moving to europe and taking Evo and the R1 there.

+1 People just dont understand that some people just cant have 2 cars. Even if the car is only 1000 dollars its still a huge hassle just to have two cars. Once you have two cars its twice the insurance, twice the maitenance, for some people might not have room for two cars at home and what not. My evo is my daily and dont plan on getting a beater anytime soon.

Plus i get alot of suprised faces when they see an Evo pulling R1 behind it. And yes they both are same color. Looks kinda cool.
