that is definitely a lancer evolution, whether it be a 7, 8, or a 9, I am not exactly sure.

(to the original poster) How do you know? Did you talk to the guy?

So you are telling us that somebody put blister fenders and all the other stuff people have mentioned on a regular Lancer including a non functional IC which can be made out from the front shot

This would make the guy the King Poser of all poser's .... and frankly very disturbing ... he should get help.

OK my last real guess is it's a US Evo too far from home, and you just can't see the driver on the "wrong" side of the car.

Beyond that, I'm sticking with the Madonna in the vines.

I met the guy once a few months back so I barely know him. He did admit its a Lancer and bought parts from japan to make it look like a evo. A few months ago when I first met him the car was parked and I got a close look at the car. The exhaust tip was small, tires are 225's, intercooler doesnt have lower pipes because there aint not turbo to connect it to. Also the Lancer's here have a different dash than the Evo so when I looked in I could tell right away it wasnt a Evo. When I was behind him today the rear of the car was kinda bouncing around and looked unstable.

well...if thats the case...i 85% believe you...the last 15% would be you taking a picture of it [inside...dash... & engine bay]. i think everyone would really like to see that and share their thoughts about it.

Can you take pictures of it for us??

Like I said I only met him once and it was only a few minutes... he probably forgot who I am but if I do get a chance next time ill take pics
When the car is moving theres hardly any sound coming from the exhaust.

Derek if that's what your saying, then that dude is definitely a fool. With all that money he spent, he probably could have bought two evo's.

Wow if that's not an Evo, that is a LOT of $ to spend to make a lancer look like an Evo. Prob wouldn't have cost him much more to just get a real Evo after all that work.

well. if the owner was that desperate and really want it to look like an Evo, then he might have spent more money to make it look like its functional.

man...thats still kinda bothering to think of. bothering in a confused way thinking "why the f*ck would he spend all that money and not get a real one... "

still kinda hard to believe.

Why would he not put a FMIC on after all the money he spent to make it look like a evo Just cause theres a fmic mounted doesnt mean its functional. I remember asking him how much he spent and the total was 10K US for parts and labor. Brand new Evo 8's cost 53K US dollars in this country and a Lancer goes for about 15K brand new. So total he spent around 25K which is my guess unless he bought the car used.
Only sixty legal Evo 8's in this country and they are rare as hell so I can understand why he spent that kind of money. 10K isnt bad if you think about it...not something I would do but he does look happy driving it
