AWD conversion info thread
#31
I was justt alking over this with my buddy, I was looking in to options for both traction control (I'm tired of being peg-legged) and conversion to AWD. Let em know what you need as far as photos and info, and maybe you could post an update summary here soon.

I have no idea if this is still a plan, but I am thinking about making an AWD Lancer...
It is not about turning it into an Evo or anything, I want to take a Lancer and make a Rally car out of it. It's almost paid off and is just about time to have fun with her. I don't want to buy an Evo or a RA because the only thing to do with those are to upgrade parts, I want to actually do a work and a project build. Don't have much support in it, or have the help from any tech guys to confirm or deny fitment of any parts or if it could work...but I want to attempt something than helping build another Civic which is why I want to do something to the Lancer.

Well, only one way to find out. When I was working on it it was all just theory. I can't say 100% positive that it all will work. I know you'll want the rear end from a RA though unless you're gonna run fender flares as the Evo X track is wider. The RA rear end is set up for non-wide cars.

Need to see what else is needed for electronics of the AWD system, but first things first is getting my hands on a part out RA or SE sometime in the future.

couple questions...
Ok, so I was looking at doing this myself, figuring that in order to build a better EVO (the whole reason I got the GTS was because the 2.0L in the EVO just makes me cry, plus can you say fatty?) I would want to get S-AWC if at all possible, but atleast some kind of AWD, like the R///A. I was reading this and someone piped in with FWD is faster anyway... And then some like RWD... I've never done anything but FWD, I don't know the benefits or shortcoming of any other drivetrain, so if anyone could help out with my understanding, and then if it is a better idea to upgrade to S-AWC, I can help with pics, and/or step-by-step on what my local shop is trying, though admitedly it will likely be a few months as I've still got to get a custom exhaust built to increase my turbo gains.

Hello, you can do the awd swap and transmission? I have a gts and am interested in this, in Mexico do not sell the Evo X, but you can import with Mitsubishi for approximately 60,000 usd the gsr version.....
