Real nice work man- I love the older evos, and you are keeping it proper, Keep It UP !

 

Over night parts from Japan

jk I have a few more boxes arriving and that's it I'm out of money . I have lost too much money on this build so I doubt it will get finished for MOD
anyways notice a difference

jdm evo 6 door cards

 

Subscribed! Amazing build! You're an inspiration! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see her done!

here is some more progress, but first how every driveway should look

rhd firewall is finished and ready to go it, just gotta remove the lhd firewall

and i have reached the point of no return, its now sink or swim, dum dum dum...

 

so you are actually gonna do the rhd conversion.... thats cool that would be the only part i would be iffy about if i did it... id probably leave it lhd just to be a bit less conspicuous..lol... but it will absolutely look straight from japan being rhd thats for sure!

 

lol thanks bro, yea since i got the clip i decided to do it, now i will have everything oem though. even the automatic climate control which is honestly the biggest reason i did the rhd, also the quick ratio steering rack as well lol

 

^^^ very true!!! especially the rack an pinion.. didnt even think about that part!

 

I wish we could figure out a way to swap the internals out of the rack. I want the quick ratio rack but I'm not gonna bother with the RHD conversion... Looking awesome as usual man!

 

now since they did make lhd evo 5-6's, arent there lhd quick ratio racks out there? or were the lhds swapped from mirages(or lancers in other parts of the world)?

 

No, they're out there, but LHD Evo 1-6 bits are very hard to come by!

 

So after all the money invested how much more would it have been to buy an actual LHD Evo 6?

 

This is illegal in the U.S. currently, that's why we build conversions. All the 1-6's that are here currently are either converted Mirages or they are vin swapped or some other shady means was used to get them here.

 

Original Poster:

I have an Evo 5 here in Atlanta. The shell was modified to accept all evo 8 running gear(engine/tranny, diffs, etc) so I have a complete car in parts from a genuine RHD Evo 5. The car is/was a rally car so all the diffs are Ralliart. Brakes/hubs are Evo 5 oem as well as RHD steering rack. It is all for sale, let me know what you want/need

 

Ditto this guy, there are no such thing as legal Evo 1-6's yet. only loop holes, loop holes that have huge grey areas that "ICE" likes to investigate.

id say OP has around 8-9K invested so far may be wrong I myself am about 85% done and im sitting at 11.5K
