that is actually quite similar to what is done in europe with "proto" cars... Basically those are rally cars built on a shortened evo 9 chassis with more modern body, like ford fiesta or vw polo. It is a cheap way to get a more modern looking 4x4 rally car but without the R5 costs. The wheelbase and weight is similar to an evo 6 actually. Sad reality is that a "normal" evo 9 is usually faster.
Having said that I would love an evo 5 with e9 mechanicals...

Additionaly, these cars are a work of a small team and not a factory prepped car. That might be the key.
Now, a tubular chassis evo... huh..

We should ..a....arrange to ....see said TME haha. Oh look at the birdie over there ....scccrrrreeechhhhh. It'd be one of those Street vs Race conflicts for sure. I'd likely gut and cage it, it's not like the e6 interior was something to write home about lol.
I "thought" JRD was doing tubular ones back when but someone reminded me that they're made for the unibody still. I don't see why it'd be all that difficult. Hoonigan style isn't all that complex. If you "had" to you could even get a universal AWD system for it and do the other stuff I mentioned earlier.

Hah gee I wonder who that fella is
I think everyone here in the states would love a CP bc it has that current unobtainable status. What is different from the V to the VI? Not knowing the specifics they seem similar but I'd venture a guess that the V's will go for much less than the VI's once they are available stateside.

Big money car is evo 6 TME obviously, and 6 RS if you can find it. From my perspective, any 5 is great, as you can throw in e9 drivetrain with minimal mods. But, LHD 5's are almost non existent. Cheap one is e4, and looks like a great buy.

damn. is croatia LHD? Do they have evo 6's? asking for a friend... (asking for myself)
#1394
A friend of mine over here just bought a 30000 km evo 6 TME that sat in a yard for the past xx years.. needs some TLC. We have another TME that is full of rust and I know of another evo 6 GSR. There are some LHD 6's in europe, mostly germany and switzerland.. Also there are a few rally cars..
Interestingly enough, and I have lots of RS discussions with my friend alpina, over here the RS models were bought mostly to be transformed into rallycars and they were significantly cheaper than the "normal" models. Some were used as training cars, and they did not have much of an everyday driver rep because of the short gearing. These days RS models are all the rage... hahaahaha

the car was in a really good shape... no welding nedeed... even the ayc pump was fine.
These guys just did a cleanup and new underseal on my mates evo 9 and are doing my shell now..
