sorry to hear m8 glwts

 

Hey Sean, i had talked to you last year about me starting my own project and just have some questions. one, im trying to do the evo 6 instead of your 5, and do you know if everything is interchangeable between the 5 and 6? im basing everything pretty much off of your thread and some of my own knowledge. I'd like to start my own thread as well here soon and wouldn't mind some input from anyone that knows about this swap. Thanks.

 

@Evo_mirage22

exactly the same shell and panels only difference is front bumper/spotlamps and rear wing

 

cool thanks man. And another question, since the LHD subframe is hard to come by i saw you notched the mirage one, would that work for an extended period of time? just in case i couldnt find an evo one?

 

The trunk pan was spot amd stitch welded when installed. Everything was sealed on with seam sealer. I haven't gotten it weighed yet but I imagina it's similar weight as an evo5 RS. I removed all the sound deadening tar on the car. The front LSD is from an evo 5 RS and the rear is evo8 stock USDM LSD.

Me too. Thanks for the help on the ecu swap.

I don't see why not. Just make sure you box in the subframe once you notch it.

 

What do you mean box it in? And I know you used an evo 8 ECU right? Is there anything wrong with using an evo 6? Sorry im just trying to figure out a lot of this stuff before I start ordering everything

 

Sweet!

 

Meaning don't leave the subframe open. Box is always stronger than a flat piece of metal. The 6 ecu is fully capable and has full tuning capabilities but won't pass obd2 emissions testing like the 8 ecu will. Always will require repinning if you use a 4 or 5 harness

Well seems how you just joined this month and I started this project over a year ago it would have been impossible to buy a car that wasn't listed for sale. Is this the silver evo6 that Sierra motorsports bought and later had their shop raided? Previously owned by 1nastymr on here that scammed a bunch of members? Your pictures aren't working. If so, you couldn't give that car to me.

Thanks for the bump

 

You know of any reasons why I would have to do an emissions test? Cause I probably won't worry about it otherwise

 

Emissions is dependent on your county. My county requires emissions testing every 2 years.

 

Pending sale. Non-refundable deposit accepted yesterday and the car will be held for 3 weeks for the potential buyer. I will update this post with the outcome.

 

 

Hope buyer will finish this off!!! Mod it was great reading ur built, was so inspired to do my own...

 

Sold!! Payment received yesterday and vehicle is scheduled for transport later this week

 

It was an honor and a privilege to read through this entire thread... You did a wonderful and professional job! Thank you for sharing this with us, impeccable job! Good luck to the NEW owner, and make sure he knows about the forum, so he can post an introductory thread!!

Nice job!
