I have an 02 lancer es and im wanting to do this, jus for show cause im 16 and I already had an incident with a fast car (98 type r), anyways I have all info for EVO 7 bodykit and spoiler, but I want the headlights, maybe even some interior, and maybe even motor swap. Ive never seen anyone who has done this so im hoping someone can point me in the right direction. O and if a JDM evo engine isnt availible, what do you have to do to get a GST 4G63T to the specs of the evos, i know the 16g turbo but what other internals, manifolds, etc is necessary.

 

search....

 

Buy an Evo 8 and convert the bumpers and hood. I'm sure it'll be cheaper and look better that converting a normal Lancer. Or buy a real Evo VII and sell your car. Probly still cheaper.

 

^ Thats is probably the best idea.

 

you can buy the headlights you want, it would be custom, but very easy to do I think..

 

Evo is probably the best way to do it. Just buy the Evo and get the VII body pannels to accent the VIII.

 

just look around, they sell kits for the body of course... headlights may take some modification, but possible and same with taillights... for interior, do the ebay thing, you'll find some stuff laying around... understand that doing the engine is going to take some decent money, so save that for the last... get the exterior done,interior, and to handle like an EVO go with Tein SS Coilovers, with an abundance of bars... upgrade sway bar... understand this is not something that can be done in like 2 days... well it can be, but for a very nice price... Just take your time and dont cut any corners... most of all, keep up posted.. especially if you decide to do an engine swap...
