I dont know anything really about lancers, I dont even own one yet, but I need to know if the body trims are the same for the 02 evolution and regular lancers unlike the new ones.
Thanks for the feedback

 

different

 

Thanks thats all I needed to know, because if the trim was the same I was goin to buy a cheap lancer then build my own evolution.

 

there are conversion kits, but then you'll have a slow car that looks fast, and that's completely pointless, if you want an evo, it's cheaper to buy it than try and build it from a lance

 

well what I was planning to do was put one of the brand new MR Evo engines in it if it would fit.

 

cause theres just hundreds of those lying around in junkyards.........

 

mr engine=05gsr engine

all 05's have the same engine...you can try to swap a 4g63 into it..but seriously if your gonna do that just buy an evo and customize it

 

well actually, I've already found a guy who said he could get it no prob. but I'm taking it somewhere else to have it installed.

 

then you'd need the evo drivetrain, and then all of the additional mount points welded in, along with the ECU, and lots and lots of time (or money for a shop) to do it all

 

they all say that...please dont take it as hating cus i would love to see it done...but its just not that good of an idea for most people...hell if you loose the car for a few months the go right on ahead and do it...

 

lets just say that for the drivetrain and ecu it would be a maximum of $1,000-2,000 and yes labor costs but I have already been looking around my area, and it would still be cheaper in my situation to do what I am planning to do, there are no good prices on evo's right now at least, and money is an issue in my case.
