what is the point of ur statement?? who cares if he did it or the garage did it...

he paid for it and got it done, i dont THINK once in this topic he took credit for it, but he didnt cough up the money 4 it...

im my opinion, i think ur comment is kinda ignorant.

 

Is that anti-lag I saw? Thats awesome....really awesome!

 

yeah we're all congratulating him on having it done. we know he didnt do it himself. we also congratulated the shop for a good job, but thats there job.

 

Oh well...and you meant he DID cough up the money. I was just ASKING! if he did it or not...and did you also see that I LIKED it and said it's original? Probably not because you were too busy reading the other part.

By the way...I like how you used an engine and kept the stock trans. It makes the switch easier because you don't have to change the drive train. I bet your shop also used better strength gears if they opened up the transmission. If they didn't, well, I guess they didn't.

 

to clear up and argument i DIDNT DO ANYTHING ht turbotech did all the work like go lancer go said i just paid them

 

I know...and I like your car, it's beautiful and it's original. I wasn't knocking you at all. I like when people can do it themselves, but if they can't, I like when they are smart and are willing to let professionals do it. Good work. Can you post more pics? Sorry if you already have...

 

ok, hows this...


GOOD WORK SACKING UP TO ACTUALLY DO THE SWAP, no u didnt do it urslef, but id love to see a member on here actually do it all by themselves, man i thought i was an assh*le.

 

HOLY **** MAN. haha finaly. yeah i talked to the guy there, and he said it cost 12000 canadian, which comes out to like 10,500 us dollars. but he never said anything about if that included the engine. but oh well. congrats

 

TOO much money imho.

 

yeah i wish that i could get that done... i love my car, cheap insurance. looks hot. but i just want to fly by the next honda that wants to ride my *** again. and heavily moding my stock engine is gonna cost way too much. and still will get no were close to what that engine can produce. oh well.....

 

yeah i emailed them on the price too. they said the 12000 CAD (roughly 10000 USD) was the total cost in the end. Included engine, installation, all modification to transmission and everything else.

 

Jesus, if you added the price of the lancer you could get a wrx or something along those lines for that, hell you could almost get an evo for that (with the price of the lancer as well).

 

but you'd be paying a butt load on insurance

 

But the car would have AWD, and be legal. Engine swapping is illegal last time I checked, if you get in an accident and they find the evo engine under the hood you're screwed, not only will they not cover it, they would in all likeliness cancel your policy all together.

 

i didnt know it was illegal, but if you dont report it to your insurance, then yeah, they wont cover it. and AWD isnt always the best, thats why the srt does so well, you just get real bad wheel hop.
