Ok i got an o6 lancer OZ rally edition and i want to know what is required to switch the front end out to an evo 8 front end...i mean obviously headlights, hood, bumper, and fenders but will the rad support work...the dimensions look exactly the same so i think that should work...anyone know. I've done a front end swap before on my 240...that included front bumper headlights, hood, fenders, and rad support as well as the headlight wiring harness so...i just want to know what u guys probably already know
it can be done but u need time and money and patience...... if you can find a front clip off a evo8 it be easier but if not then u need front bumper, hood, headlights, fenders, basicly everything off the front end of a evo8... if u plan on droppin the evo8 motor too, most likely u have to do custom axles... having the entire drive train off a evo will help along with the electronics aswell, like the ecu and stuff... keep in mind the lancer is not a honda, you cant expect to drop in the motor and expect it to work... if u are going to do that then you have to have like i said in the beginning "time and money and patience...... " the 2 cars are not the same, i drivin both and i know.... in the end you will have a swapped lancer and not a real evo
Thanks man, i am aware it will not be the same...but the evo is not avaliable here except the new one and the price tag says no...lol... so swap is what i'm going for appearance at first and the drivtrain second...
few people are doing it on evom one is keeping it on a down low untill he is done cause he dont want a bombardment of questions and the other ihas a thread going on evom.. mad_canibise is his screen name i think
or maybe check out this site http://www.createfibers.com/index.html and ask them what they can do for you about body kit
