yeah the evo brembos are going in....not sure about the rear yet though since i need this car running sooner than i thought i may not find the time to fabricate the outlander rear backing plate or ralliart ones depends which one i use.Anyways got tho dash out today and started to take out the wire harness but decide not to until the evo harnesses get here so i can do a comparison of both got my fingures crossed that it will all be plug and play since i'll be having the dash and engine harnesses except i am expecti9ng the evo harness to have a few more wires fot the abs and all that stuff.... can't find my cable for my camera to upload any pics
Hey i'm doing a different swap, but wanted to give you a tip on the harness. I just pulled mine out of my car, and it is a 2 piece harness. The engine harness is completely seperate from the interior harness. Because i took the every wire in the engine bay out plus the computer and could still hook up the battery and listen to music and all the lights work. The only acc. attached i believe are the wipers or wiper spray, one or the other. So if you are afraid about that i would say go ahead. But just letting you know if you didn't already.
Drive safe!

I have a evo harness and just pulled the engine out of my car and started prepping for the rwd. I haven't touched the wiring yet but I can take a look this week for you can let you know.
Plan is to run evo fuse box and accessory wires to run the hid headlights...I'm hoping it plugs into the lancer interior harness.

well i got my fingers crossed also because the dash harness seperates when it runs to the back i'm guessing that connector is for the tailights and everything else behind there.

Ok, here are those pics I was going to help you with.
The first 4 are of my 5 speed OZ rally, the last 3 are of the Auto ES. You shouldn't have to change the resevior on the brake booster. It has a bung on the side that you just tap into and run a hose from it to the clutch cylinder.

Update got my parts today and started to bolt everything in



fender had to be remaoved to take out the dash harness


after taking about and hour and finally getting the dash harness removed I started to fabricate the clutch pedel and clutch pump



never really came out the way I planned but atleast everything falls inline I will be having my welder come by and reinforce this area o the firewall when i and weling the bracket for the right engine mount that our lancer don't have

Here is what finnished pedel set looks like (bye bye automatic)


Here is the evo engine harness and the booster pump for the brembos
Only thig that has me puzzeled at this point is the 4 brake line that our lancer have whilst the evo brake booster has only 2 I will have to do some research on this.

Tommorrow I am going to start putting in the dash harness and hopefully hook up the battery to see what works lol
