are the 08/09 lancer compatible in any aspect with any previous models , because the price of some parts are just ludacris , like 400 for headers that will also need a cel adapter please , hondas pay 50 or around it ,

 

doubt it....most likely everything in the motor is completely new to the prev models. Part prices will start to come down as time passes but only buy parts made for your car.

 

motors are totally different. Nothing will be compatible. Gotta pay to play!!
