If people could only post pics of everything when it's finnished and tested.

 

this is still not done..

 

ive stayed out of this for the most part... but man take a pic... just one of ur car in their shop with ur hood open thats all we want... good luck with the swap!

 

this thread came back... and the car still aint done??? oh well...

 

the struggle continues! will our hero make it to the stage of completion? tune in next week, when it might be done!

 

EB,

The ultimate struggle is putting a DSM motor (wrong way T-belt) in either the 5g mirage or the modern lancer. No one, except for Extreme Motorsport with an almost unlimited budget, was successful doing a DSM swap; then, he sold the car due to chassis problems.

5g mirage and current lancer must look at the Evo 4 and up, and I don't know their timeline of completion.




Every shop has a certain amount of time for completion. If it goes beyond their tolerance level, no matter how much money being tossed in their faces, it won't motivate them towards completion. Basically, in the end, you just have a piece meal car.

 

well, maybe if these guys manage the evo 6.5 motor into the mkVII body style, then they can tackle the DSM into a mkVI or VII

I'll stick with building the motor that came with the car.

 

They had done that! A classic Jaguar mkVII???

 

easy big fella. The current body style of the lancer is #7 and on several body part sites they refer to is as Lancer mkVII. The 02-03 lancers are the MkVI body style. I'll see if I can't dredge up a link when I get home....

 

true, kinda. never seen it referred to as a mkVII. i kinda always thought a mk-anything referred to euro car generations like jettas and the like, except for supras. also has nothing to do with the fact that 02-03 is cs6a and 04+ are cs7a which some people seem to believe.

 

I alway thought the "mk" serial marking was for Jaguar or the Lincoln Mark 8 or Supra or something.

I thought the lancer chassis design was marked as "C"-whatever.

 

fine.... I'll stop trying to be clever.

call it a duck if you want to, it still doesn't have a working engine swap

 

that's it i'm calling official bull**** on this thread. And here is why i call bull****:

A: if it was me, I'd have pics of the engine before it even went in.

B: i'd have borrowed a digital cam, or scanned a normal pic by now

C: i'd be so damn excited about it i wouldn't shut up about it and brag and brag

now can we shut this thread down? obviously the guys has a new excuse every week and sorry for the flame but i'm just sick and tired of waiting for something which will never come to fruition...

 

^ word .. he posted this thread on another board, I'd **** myself not having my car this long. I don't want to see the labour bill :d

 

in all seriousness, the time and money he's putting into this, he could have just worked and worked and saved the money to buy a used evo
