A few other things I may be interested in one day if the opportunity presents itself but are low priorities:

My goals for this car are to reduce the lag while increasing the mid to top end power a bit. I don't want it to be crazy fast, just a little more then stock. I also want it to look really nice.

Its coming out nicely... I heard that the evo 9 tranny fits in this car.....?

Next mod should deff be hard pipes.

Looks good, cant wait to see the finished product! Get rims and lowered asap! looks like a monster truck! lol jk 

[soloryder711]

If im not wrong. I believe it is the evo 9 tranny in his car.

[Mkid]

Yeah, it is the Evo 9 diffs I believe. The twin clutch paddle shift stuff is the same as the Evo X MR though.

My car is really just a bunch of random Evo parts slapped together, lol.

As for lowering it, I really want to but I am very concerned about ride quality because I tend to drive people around a lot (its the whole reason I went with a 4 door car)

I'm trying to decide if I should go with coilovers or just springs. I've heard coilovers tend to be more comfortable but I'm not too sure either and would the difference be enough to justify the $500+ price difference?

[soloryder711]

well the coil overs you can have your fatest of fat friends sit in the car and perfectly adjust your ride height to where it feels right then get a alignment and be set. but a set of springs would be just one size drop. so you got the money id go with coilovers. if your like me. just get a mild drop and you should feel no real difference in drivability.

[Ms_Misfit]

yeah id go with coilovers, thats what I will eventually be getting

[Mkid]

Yeah, I don't want to be ridiculously low either. Coilovers are just so dang expensive. Its hard to justify spending that much for the sake of a slightly nicer stance.

[soloryder711]

that i can understand completely

[Ms_Misfit]

yea they are expensive. I have tein s techs right now they are ok, but I want to go lower. Id love to have air bags it would be quicker way to change the height when driving haha

Great pics

[soloryder711]

haha i would love to see a lancer get set on its frame.

[mitsumike]

So do it then..

Someone at the ralliart forum cut the springs as low as they could go... sitting on the bump stops.



Thats as low as it gets fellas.
