I'm as amazed as you. And I haven't deleted a single post.

 

I think I've seen you driving around, you should come to some local events when you get everything fixed.

 

5) if using an ES paltform, you'll a leg up on weight comparing to OZ and stock RA.

is and ES really lighter in weight than an RA or OZ. couldnt be much youd think?

 

Depends on whether you have air conditioning.

 

I don't know how meaningful this is, but the curb weight on the OZ is listed as being 25 kg heavier than the ES. But nothing on the Internet is 100%...

 

I thought the only weight differences would be in the better suspension for the OZ, that is, if both cars have A/C, both are the same tranny, etc....I could be wrong.

 

Body kit weighs a bit more, sway bar weighs a bit more, etc. All the little trinkets that the OZ/RA got add up, you know?

 

mitsu manual says the OZ is 31 lbs heavier ES 5-speed to OZ 5-speed. if we're talking the bare bones ES that's sold in Canada, the OZ is 97 lbs heavier.

 

When you have a lttle 120 pound guy driving like me..it helps

 

Question. I had heard about a JDM V-6 that fit in the Lancer. Something from the FTO? Has anyone pulled that off successfully? That someone verfied?

 

ive never heard about anything v6 going in a lancer. Im sure its possible.

cool... so at least I know. With the weight I saved on my carbon fiber I weigh as much as an ES. WOOT!

 

rpw had a list of engines that fit good into the lancer and i think one was the v6 from the fto. not positive though.

 

lanceradam and i were talking about a V6 swap, i forget the model designation but it would definitely be sweet to do. AFAIK it's not an engine that can be found stateside.

 

Hey guys, i have been doing the dissasembly on the motor and i have a question for those who have done this. I tried to pull out the motor w/o removing the trans off the mounts (manuall tranny) but the input shaft is too long..... A) should I pull the trans out with it (either from the bottem or from the top......hopefully top cause im doing it in a garage.) B)loosen the trans mounts and angle it, or C) SOMEHOW someone has pullled it out without dealing with the trans. Hopefully someone has dealt with this before.

 

PM HotShot940 - he's pulled his motor recently.
