I am positive about the front but not too sure about the back but I will guess so one thing I know is it will need to be fabricated to work on the back I'll have to look at my evo and my lancer when I get home and get back to you.

back lined up perfect... when we installed the outlander rear end, we meaured the gaps in the wheel wells just to make sure it was 100% dead on. for the fronts I'm running evo control arms.
As far as updates, things are going slow, but still on track.. funds are low right now, but will hopefully pick up soon. Were currently working on measuring out the firewall for cutting, researching the use of a a skyline steering rack which would entail getting a rhd dash, were looking at a voltex kit, and inquiring for any interested sponsors.
I'm also going to need to contact one of the major suspension manufactures since at this point I'm only using tein basics.. Obviously when I'm going to time attack or drift the car when its done, those coilovers just wont last and probably fail after a few weeks due to the abuse.
Since my chassis is still a lancer oz chassis, I'm going to have to find someone who will take the basic coilover body and use drift or time attack spec parts in it... hope that makes sense to everyone.
I appreciate everyone support, thank you.

So I was looking through the Evo partsfor sale forum, and I saw your car on there being parted out on the exterior.. What's going on with your build dude? It's looking amazing, I hope your not giving it up!!

Voltex FTW!
I would, but the issue is where the rack and pinion join meets (form the column to the rack) where they have it setup, is much to close to the center of the car. I would never be able to fit the supra tranny in there. The skyline rack sits farther off to the side so when we build the custom front subframe, we tuck the rack low enough and the rack and pinion joint is off to the side and far enough away.

For your steering rack setup. You are just getting a rack that has the shaft more towards drivers side right, and leaving the old steering column setup as is? Since the shaft pivots.

well with the rhd dash and cross member everything moves over, were cutting out 80% of the firewall anyway to make room for the supra tranny so routing a new spot for the coulmn extension isn't a issue.
What you said is pretty well right on, the skyline rack has the pinion more to the side of the engine bay where as the evo and lancer rack the pinion is much closer to the center. Since the supra tranny will be going right there, we needed an option to move the pinion out more for clearance.
The shave does have a pivot, but will probably be lenghthening it, so were able to place the rack where ever we please.
