i was thinking about something else and couldnt remember what they were called. I meant the coilovers or the basic dampner kit. I just know that if oyu just springs, you'll blow your stock shocks

 

No, the VIII is clocked the same way. IV+ are all the same orientation if I remember correctly. The 4g and 5g Mirage guys could confirm or deny this.

 

yeah they are all the same from IV and up. but a lot of what i heard was that everyone believed there was something on the 8 facing the wrong way or something

 

Well, what did you do this swap originally for? Actual time on the track/road course for some turns and all...or just for the pure orginiality of it? If it's the first, go the pre-described route mentioned all around you for racing/rallying upgrades. If it's the latter, make it shine and stand out above the rest (like it doesn't above my Lancer already, but you know) for shows and special events (even possible spreads in mags).

Good luck.

 

All CF parts (except hood and trunk) will have to be custom, widebody will have to be custom. for a rally car, if you already got the evo 8 wing, keep it, its hot, go with maybe a split color (bottom half stock blue, top half maybe silver). for rally you need loads of decals lol. dont do a roll cage unless you really want one.

 

For rally he'll need a roll cage. As for a split color, dear god no, I see way too many hondas and lexuses with a split color scheme, in my opinion it looks hideous.

 

Congratulations. Hopefully this swap will become more and more mainstream

 

i do not like the split color theme just my opinion but now i have an original engine i need to do something show but i cant figure out what nothing is commiing to my mind thats that i am asking opinions so that something might just hit me

as for why i did the engine swap just for originality to be different

 

ok no split color. just throwing out ideas. get a CF hood though, maybe the RRM or VIS evo VII-like hood. VIS is cheaper. you got rims yet? go for those, they help looks a lot, along with lowering it.

 

get some eyelids, HID's, CF hood for sure, o and that stock grill gots to go ... some nice wheels, definitely drop it ... as far as color i would go for a bright color, i myself like green or maybe even that evo blue... but thats just me

 

You should have this shop make a kit I am sure there are a bunch of people who would buy this conversion kit. that have Reg Lancers or RA's

 

if that is my car ....i would keep it sleeper

 

They cant really make a kit for the engine if thats what you mean. you gotta find the engine first, and i believe the mounts for all (evo 4-8) are different so you have to custom it all.

Definately change the grill. and that evo blue is hot

 

If anyone is looking for a similiar motor for a swap, I just came across this ... ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-M...78890514QQrdZ1 ).

 

sure wish i had a manual tansmision so i could get that cause it looks good
