you do not need the floor, you do have 2 options with the rear pan...1 to supply an Evo pan...or construct your own...you do not need to move the fuel tank, only need an Evo4-6 tank since the fuel door is located on the right side of the car...but you do need to change a structural member for the front Diff Carrier mounts which also incorporates the Rear Tank mounts...the car from the rear seat forward is the same between a 2 and 4 door also cept the the carrier mounts for the driveshaft which there are 2 in a 4 door and one in a 2 door...and thus i have a 2 Piece driveshave VS a 3 piece...but as Murry at TAD (a rallyshop near chicago) told me...they turn all there driveshafts into 2 piece shafts anyway for rally so no loss there...i could go on and on and on about differnces and such but i'll prolly burn up my keyboard..

What I was thinking of doing is getting the Mirage and the EVO8 after the accident (since we can get most if not all the parts) and swaping everything into the Mirage. How much modifications had to be done to fit the engine and transmission, also which suspension is in there?? Is it from the 8??
It's going to be a awesome ride to the beach for the OC car show this year.

and the front is Evo5, with the Extended Aluminum Lower control arms Knuckles and Axles...similar and allmost identical in size to the Evo8 arms where the Hubs have enlarged splines and the lower ball joint on the knuckles is also larger...also the rear mount on the Evo8 Ft. Lower arms is a Spherical Ball Joint Vs Rubber on the Evo4-6....
one thing you learn allmost imediatly is that Mitsu hasnt changed much at all since Evo5...very minor changes...but overall everything is set up the same exact way...
Hittman-- No that is not my car...it was black sealer at Evo Vs STI last summer in englishtown if anyone remembers that...
Who was asking if i'd be selling it...not that i am...but i am curious to what anyone thinks its worth...
