lancer vs evo

You had to compromise with what you had, but now you want to turn your Lancer into an Evo? That's not a compromise. And yes, it would've been cheaper and more reliable for you to buy an Evo from the start rather than try to turn a Lancer into a Evo, which is why everyone's been telling you "you should've gotten an Evo".

from reading your posts it seems like either English is NOT your first langauge, OR you are driving and typing. I am trying to make sense of some of the stuff you are saying, and it seems like you are hung up on this whole tuning thing. yes a good tune is what makes you good power but the platform (the car itself) comes to play also..catch my drift.
Most of the guys that have built fwd lancers have tuned their cars also, no one JUST makes crazy power with slapping a turbo...they just realized that putting that power to the ground on just two front wheels was not a good idea...
do you even know how to tune a car?? you keep talking soo much about tuning..

To keep this simple without it getting out of hand. As already stated you will spend way more trying to make a lancer into an Evo. Idk about the newer lancer vs Evo but in the ct9a I owned both and the lancer chassis is no where near as stiff as my Evo. If that still is the case in newer lancers then that will be another thing that needs to be addressed besides just parts.

so saying that then theirs no point to tune my lancer if the chassis is to week i know its different from the evo but im not trying to build my lancer up like a evo i know thats wishfull thinking. I'm building my lancer up the way i want to with out destroying it like adding coilovers,exhaust,fuel inj, headers, mabey pistonsm, ext. I didnt want to build it up like a evo if i said that or made it think like that i didnt mean just wanted to know how similure they are or to what point are they close (except for that their both lancers).

The money and effort it would take to modify a lancer into something with comparable performance of a stock Evo would cost more than trading in said lancer and buying a used Evo.
But hey, if you are satisfied with your lancer like you stated then good for you; however the psychologist in me translated that whole post as "I wish I had an Evo". :P

So, I do agree with the OP, even though he talks about wanting an Evo, which I understand. I'm a parent ($) & a home owner ($$!) and I used to see all the people driving Evos when they first came here to the 'States, wondering if I'd ever get one. I got a second job and just focused on getting one...Well, check to your left and down below to my signature. I reached my goal and have NO REGRETS!

^If you are referring to my post above, absolutely not! Have fun with it! Tune it! Drop it! Do what you like to it! I'm just mentioning about the guys that spend months making their car as close as possible to an Evo. The guys that drop 'millions' of dollars into their Lancers, following towards the path of an Evo...If you WANT an Evo, save for one. If you are happy with a Lancer, great too!

You need to stop using the word tune like you are. It is confusing, tune around here is mostly limited to changing the maps in the ecu.
Anyway what I tell lancer owners is don't go crazy with it and save for something else that is performance oriented from the get go.
