ok guys been a bit busy with the car and the lancer is pretty much scrapped to bits still have the bodykit though for anyone interested. Anyways I just got through stretching my paycheck lol and got all order everything needed to get this baby back up and running but it was worth the $5000 plus dollars in parts i just purchased considering i'll have an up and running evo for less that $9000. So the budget is pretty much limited like I said in my last post and I decided to convert my tailights to JDM evo tails and black out my headlights for some reason I could only get one pic uploaded i'll have to upload the rest later when I get off work.anyways here's a lil teaser of what it looks like and yes I am very happy with the results

Thank you MaD CaNaBiCe!!
ok guys lil update I was ready to purchase all my interior parts this week until a really sweet deal fell into my lap that may end up sabtaging (I think that's how it is spelled) this build or putting it on hold once again or even making it take a twist to being a full race car.Ok so I was on my way home from work this morning and a buddy of mine stopped me and asked if I wanted to buy some F1 seats from his S2000 I said sure and went to go look at them until I seen his Evo 8 sitting there just begging for a new home he said he had sold it but the guy wanted to sell it back for $3,500 yes you heard me $3,500 USD I inspected the car and asked what's the catch he said only catch is that it needs a motor and transmission and in his words "you're good to go" so if all goes well next week this car may be comming home with me anyways pictures are worth more than a thousand words with all due respect to all my die hard fans to this thread here is the car i am talking about let me know your opinions good or bad cons and pros whatever or even try to talk me out of it to keep this build alive god dammit....... lol

Can someone take a pic of their shifter cables installed to their transmission I can seem to figure out if I am missing something or if I have it connected wrong.
