I think I posted RPW's URL earlier in the thread. Talk to MistiMan on the forums...I think he owns RPW...if not he's a rep. I think it's a smarter plan personally. Good luck.

To post pics either attach them by using the attach pic button in a fully reply or (if it's hosted somewhere online already) just use the img command with the URL of the pic. Hope that helps.

LancerEvoV: Check this link for the Mirage forum. I strongly recommend you to visit there. Just do a search and you can find tons of useful info on swaps.

Click "post a reply", under the "Browse" in the Attach file section and find the file you want to attach

Here's the link, this guy in Cali is the only person on our site that has an Evo motor.

The gold Lancer w/ the AWD and Evo conversion is in Australia.


Hey Lan Evo,
you might have to dig back your memory. Remember way back when I was just a newbie. I answered a Q about your idea about AWD or Evo conversion w/ a link to an australian site with the gold lancer/mirage or was it the somewhere in the pacific rim on a canniabalized GSR (baby evo)?

I can't remember nor have the link anymore.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for:

The other link with tons of AWD conversion info is down now

Yup, that's the cannibalized GSR conversion. Now, I have to find the Gold Lancer in Aussie. Thanks a bunch.

As for the MIVEC, you have to find a gen 2 MIVEC. It's so rare that it will cost you more than the motor's worth. The same for the 4g93T - gen 2 (ultra rare and may cost the same as an Evo engine - not many people in Japan trash them nor in aussie).

Post it if you found it, OK? THX

LancerEvoV: Like bahamut said, the MIVEC is way too expensive for the performance it provides. For that amount of money ($3-4,000 or so) you can spend that on a quality turbo kit...just my thought
