I'm sure they're illegal here (Canada). We have a weekly program on sport compacts which always has a segment with PACER (a police group who educates people on street racing) and sure enough it's illegal. Most insurance companies won't cover it since its no longer has an engine designed for that car, thus they have no idea what could go wrong.

 

daymn....... now that's hot.. you give me hope!!!!!

 

WHat happened to the pics?

I just discovered the thread...
I scrolled through all 12 pages too.

The only pics that I know of are the ones in page 1...
what other pics are you looking fore?

 

About 10 grand USD, it's about the normal evo swap price. I thought the price should have come down a bit after seeing an Aussie done his swap for 2/3 of such cost (this year or so) . . . around 00, another Aussie had done one, but his cost was around 10-12 grand too. Probably add +2.5 grand for AWD conversion.

At such cost on a new lancer, you have probably dumped around +75% of a new ES sticker price.

 

When I first opened the pages there was no picture of the Evo swap only the Civic but they are working now.

Thanks

DAMMIT!!!... IT CAN! Be DONE! HA!

 

I don't think that was the rationale. It's the sticker shock trying to achieve the goal. If anyone else has the dough to cough it up, that's great.

If it's the current market cost to do such swap, it hasn't change from mirage owners since 1997, except for modern aussie owners.

 

yes but this is the 2004 lancer, not a mirage. so it was different

 

You should do some more research before you start spouting things off like this. (not trying to be rude, im sure it sounds that way). The 97+ mirage and lancer's engines are almost identical so the difficulties involved in those mirage years will be probably the same in the lancers

 

no i'm not saying anything about similarities or differences, I'm just saying that the two cars are different. Ones a mirage, ones a lancer, i understand the engine and difficulty of swap are the same, but they are still two different cars.

 

then your post is out of context... b/c all bahamut is doing is commenting on the price

 

lol exactly, just ignore my comment

 

did the shop tell you exactly what was needed to do it. Harness Mods, Bellhousing Adapters, Crossmembers, etc? just wanted to know all the parts they needed to get to get it done so i can keep dreaming knowing there is a way.

 

i knw this trend is kinda old now but still...wow thts jst incredible...any updates on how its holding up/any additions?
