as i remember, its still FWD right? would be alot easier now if ya wanted to go RWD in the future.

MORE PICS though.</div>

yeah it's FWD now, I would've gone 4WD if it wasn't for the laws here..

wasn't much of a b****...the engine sits further in front compared to the BETA, and I had to remove the front anti-roll bar as it was in the transmission's way.
that's pretty much it..

thanks everyone for the comments smile.gif I don't have any vids yet..ehe will try to get some soon

 

how much did the engine cost and how did u get ahold of it?

 

hyunshark21: i bought the entire front clip from the junkers. cost me about 3.5k USD

 

^^^ you got a STEAL!!!!!!!!! i tried to search for just the engine after seeing yours and they still want 3.5-5k for JUST the evo8 engine, let alone tranny/harness/ecu/driveshafts

 

why didn't you used the mirage asti rx tranny? it comes with a 4G61 mivec and I'm sure that the tranny fits on the 4G63.

but then again, you're talking about an evo8 engine there..much newer than the evo5

my evo5 front clip came with the gearbox, so there was no need to get another tranny smile.gif
