I have seen some 2dr evo 8's before somewhere on here, some shops race car, I think it had an rb26 or something. Probably welded the rears shut and just re-finished/painted obiously.

Australia is full of them , its a pretty good thing.
They use the earlier CC Evo 1-3 shape Lancer Coupe, cut and shut the floor from an Evo wreck in the coupe, throw the rest in and bobs your uncle. 1150-1200kg awd monster.

People have been converting Mirages in Evo's for over 10 years

No, it's not an rb26. It's simpley a 4g63 mounted longitudinally.

Mirages are cheap and plentiful, its a win win if you want to do such a project. Imagine trying to find a clean Civic hatch, they can cost twice as much stock.

No, if you're referring to the Norris Designs evo it has a 4G64 with an Evo head and a skyline drivetrain.
