What is smh? I dont understand why you would lie and say your lancer is an EVO. Personally I dont think ANYTHING is more ridiculous than trying to pass a lancer off as an EVO. You just end up looking like a tool to not only the EVO community but anybody else that is slightly automotive inclined...

I much prefer when people take evo's and try to make them look like base lancers. Fill the holes in the hood with bondo. Put steelie rims on it and take off the spoiler. I'm just waiting for a 'slim' body kit to put on and I'll be happy

It was almost 1/4th the price of an evo....so how again could he have bought an evo? he'd need to spend 4 times more money!
My car was a gift, just like the other scholarship guy, for football....and I've spent about 3k on the turbo kit, gauges, etc etc and increased from 95whp to about 160whp and will be turning up the boost pretty soon to 10 or 12psi. I've thought about an evo7 conversion body kit, just for the vented hood and bigger lower grill to pull more air in and out....just hate the idea of trying to look like an evo.

When he should just bought a used EVO 8 that runs $16,000 cheapest you can find in auto trader, ebay motors or cars.com.

Ya what a waste in my opinion. He said, paid off the car for about 11K-12K if I recall him saying. Then bought body kits that cost him about $2500. Got the car painted for another $1500. Bought Evo stock wheels for $600. His next project is dropping a 4G63 engine stock motor that will cost him about $4000 at least, but he still need to modify his engine bay for it to fit so let's say thats another $3000, and labor and the list goes on.

At the end of the day, the lancer is already his car though and, its lighter, its less apt to be stolen, parts for repair are cheaper, replacement engines are cheaper, insurance is cheaper, aftermarket for the 4g94 is coming upup so I see no reason to swap in the 4g6x anyway.....
