Yea man, money isnt really an issure, but I would just prefer to save more. That was also what I was going for.. I mean theres probably a few, but its not an EVERYDAY thing you see driving around. I was originally suppose to do a DB8 Type R Replica, but I see too many tegs around -_-. Since my 18 years of living in the Bay Area, I've only seen one E4.. It was grey.. It was too long ago to remember. I'm sure i'll run into ALOT of bumps down the road, but this project will be worth it. btw if you were wondering.. I'm thinking about painting it black..haven't decided what kind of black to go, but black is my color..

Move to New Zealand and your 8k US could buy a decent genuine EVO IV. They're going for 7-10k NZ currently.

Thanks man! If that happens. I'll pay for you gas coming and going back home, and w.e other fees. I dont mind. BTW I live in SF, but I'll probably be fixing the car at my friends house in Vallejo. One question, hope its not a big favor but you said you can find mirages less than $500?

wah.....$100??.. one hell of a mouthpiece . I just ran into a 1998 DE for like 1750. I'm not gonna look for now though. I'll wait a little close to december.. but Honestly I was just thinking to just do the 5 lug and exterior conversion.. I dont have much time home in december, I'll save the engine and awd conversion for when I'm officialy home
