What generation of evo? I've seen what looks like a evo from 1990-1999s, thats white, with what looks like BBS rims and a nice sounding exhaust..

89daytona 02-20-2007 11:18 PM

Supra RZ, great to hear because ive been ripped on so much for being a "liar", and clearly am not.. it was a VIII or IX, so not 90-99, but above

Supra_RZ 02-20-2007 11:21 PM

well to me it "looked" like an Evo....so im not sure if it's a Lancer dressed up as a Evo or if it's an actual Evo

89daytona 02-20-2007 11:24 PM

Damn good dress up then, and it left me in the dust when i was in my talon on the 407

crazyae 02-21-2007 06:21 PM

yeah well i have seen 2 markIV supras in oakville here and i haven;t gotten close enough to see there plates, but sometimes i wonder. It could be from down south or maybe its legit.

89daytona 02-21-2007 06:37 PM

If my IV you mean 93-98 yea ive seen a bunch all with ontario plates, those r legal, the idea of that being legal and evo not being, very dumb.... & my intercooler is more vulnerable then a evos.. o well.. thats our goverment lol

Auto Park in Burlington had one for sale last summer it was a year old I think it was selling for just over $50,000 cdn it was orginally a US car.

It wasnt an EVO you fool

89daytona 02-21-2007 07:18 PM

My uncle worked at autopark, he said they had one, and had to send it back to US bucz it would have cost too much to make it street legal here :(.. but someone with the cash would be able to do it.. e.g. this white evo... whats to stop someone from switching the vins from arallyart to a evo, and saying they switched everything?

There are a Couple of Evo's (and Wanna-be's) around
There is a White Evo VIII with NY Plates in Mississauga, and there is a also a White Lancer ES that has been done up with an Evo IX Body and Alot of Mods. (Guy has to have more money than brains)
There is a Blue ES that is done up with full VIII Kit out of Montreal, that has been spotted in Toronto down by the Docks. And there is rumours that there are a couple of EVO's in Ontario that have been VIN Swapped with wrecked Lancers (Very Stupid Move)

You Cannot turn a Lancer, be it ES/LS/OZ/Ralliart into an EVO. They are very Similar platforms, and share a lot of the same parts, but there is just too much different with the Evo to make it possible.
We have had discussions about this in the Mitsubishi Forum.

-The Lancers are FWD where the EVO's are AWD, so right there you run into one of the biggest problems.
-The Bumpers of the Lancers would interfere with the Intercooler of the Evo (Thus why the EVO is on the RIV Inadmissible list)
-The Shocks, suspension, Tires, sway Bars are totally different
-The Mounting of the Upper/Lower Control Arms are different
-The Engine would have to be swapped.
-The Entire Engine Comparment has to be rearranged to fit the IC/Turbo/etc.

I want an Evo as much as any man out there, the only difference is that I know that it's not going to happen until the 08's are here (July) and I don't spend my time making up stories of how I am going to convert a Lancer to an Evo.

It's not the guy from New York. This is his car and that description (the first post) definately does not match this:

We got guys on MCCC trying to figure it out as well. Just to confirm, it was a Right hand Drive Evo V?

Because we have a Couple of guys that have spotted a White Evo V with RHD and Ontario Plates around Markham & Sheppard.

Also the Evo that is pictured above is Humza, it is a NY Registered Evo VIII MR with Black UK Badging on the Trunk. It is truly a Gorgeous car.
