check out this bad ass EVO..

[NjbadSS]

I haven't been much of a fan of the WRX's and EVO's..but this is one bad mother... lets see if you all agree

[BigAls87Z28]

Outstanding...

[NJ Torque]

stupid...

[NastyEllEssWon]

Outstandlingly stupid...

[crazyblazer87]

You got to love people with to much time and money

[DevilDougWS6]

shock factor. WOAH! ok now take it apart.

[SteveR]

with all the money spent on that, they could have just bought an F-Body.

[mc73nova]

Nice.

You guys kill me. Unless its in an F-Body its stupid. Why not write "I'm jealous" and be done with it.

[NastyEllEssWon]

because if we wanted a car that looked like that we'd buy an evo. we dont. so we buy fbodies cause we like the styling....its the complete opposite of our cars...so yeah i guess we wouldnt like it

[mc73nova]

I believe the guy who posted it has an f-body as well. It's not about liking a certain vehicle, its about appreciating performance and innovation. He wanted to be different and build a v8 Evo, more power to him.

[V]

ok, coming from someone who almost bought a 2008 Lancer EVO MR.. i like it.

but i do have 2 main complaints... 1st... it would have been sick if they could have gotten an awd setup to work, yes the oem wouldnt but then try to engineer something, thats a killer aspect of those cars, and second... there had to be a way to fit the intake without cutting the hood. they make extra clearence elbows or maybe place the TB further forward. The blower and FMIC is a nice touch.

and on a side note it sounds eeriley familiar to mine... lol

[NastyEllEssWon]

nothing innovating about that. lsx swaps have been done all over the ricer world....240's....rx7's....starions.....hell even the old datsuns used to be popular for v8 swaps.


you want a car with 4 doors and an lsx drivetrain...go buy a g8. they look identical....heh...grocery getters...they all look alike

[7pointoh]

The guy had an Lancer/Evo. Had an LS1 powertrain. Why not. So what if people don't agree or like what he the guy did. I'm not a fan of the car but I can appreciate the work done to do that.

Hell, I like the look of an R34 Skyline. I also like LSX's. If I have those two laying around collecting dust. Why not?

And how many are All Wheel Drive?

I like it, I've always been a huge fan of the Evo and this is a nice car with a nice engine in it.

[mc73nova]

Ls swaps are very common, a supercharged ls in an evo, not very common. So, yes innovative the fact that he took an awd drive car and converted it to rwd to utilize an ls engine is amazing. The fact that they(the foreign speaking individuals in the video) took one of their own vehicles and chopped it up to put an american based product in it, is saying a lot about the performance of an ls engine. They could have very well thrown more boost at its original turbo 4cyl or put a bigger turbo on it but they didn't. You should be happy as a car enthusiast/f-body owner that they are using the same engine for all the high power projects that you have in your car but didn't need to do a swap to obtain it.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i wonder how close the underpinnings from the g8 are and if they used that as a guide on how to do it. i wouldnt doubt it.

[NjbadSS]

I am most definitely an F body lover, but it comes a point where someone builds a car like this and you have to admire all that went into it. And it makes me smile that they tucked an LS engine in it to make it such a bad a$$ car..

[enRo]

Some engine swaps I admire... old chevys, some mustangs (if done right), antique trucks, and rx7's.... EVO? not so much.

Hard work? Yes.
Did it pay off? Dont think so. Coulda spent the same amount of money and made a quick AWD EVO, and not a RWD v8 powered EVO.

[GP99GT]

because if we wanted a car that looked like that we'd buy an evo. we dont. so we buy fbodies cause we like the styling....its the complete opposite of our cars...so yeah i guess we wouldnt like it

you said in another thread that you hate the styling of 4th gen camaros....

so which is it? :lol:

[Blacdout96]

I believe the guy who posted it has an f-body as well. It's not about liking a certain vehicle, its about appreciating performance and innovation. He wanted to be different and build a v8 Evo, more power to him.

Well I see alot on the internet, a guy posts an Import, and in the end you will always see the comment, should of put a V8 in it, or would be better with a V8...well someone has done it, and its a LS based motor too, and people on here are still ****ting on it, there really is no pleasing people with Domestic taste.

with all the money spent on that, they could have just bought an F-Body.

They are in the UAE, they got money to do anything. you ever see the vid of the Mitsubishi SUV racing the Lambo, and staying up with it!!! they are crazy over there, but ill give it to them, they actually have the money to do things we wish we could.

because if we wanted a car that looked like that we'd buy an evo. we dont. so we buy fbodies cause we like the styling....its the complete opposite of our cars...so yeah i guess we wouldnt like it

Actually I would buy an Evo over a Camaro....but I dont have teh money to. I do love Camaro's,but the fact is not many of us on these boards exactly have the money to go out and buy such perfomance cars as Evo's and STi's, especially with the economy the way it's going. Now am I saying peopel on these boards would all go out and buy them if they had the money, hell no, but im sure there are a few on these boards that would want one if they did.

But they wanted to be different. Maybe they wanted an Evo that could to burnouts, or they just like the sound of a V8 under a nice car like that.

dont have the money to buy such performance cars?? I'm pretty sure that most of the guys on here that mod the hell out of their f body could just as well went out and bought a WRX or EVO but went with what they love.. an F Body!!!! come on now..

[BlueGTS]

So you have a car that is known for 2 things. #1 the AWD which you remove and the 2.0L Turbo engine which you also remove. Then you put in a high torque 5.7L. Mount up the 185mm wide pizza cutters and say bye bye to traction in any gear.

It is a very cool project and I would love to see it in person but I do not see the point as people do not by EVO's for the looks. It is a Mirage with a body kit.

but do they buy the mods over time, or do they buy them all in one lump sum..... It vary's to how big your wallet is. Me I cant afford a Evo, let alone a V8 Camaro, so over 3 years time Ive been slowely buying parts to fit my budget for my car. An Evo ( before the Evo 10) was a 33+K car give or take, which means you gotta commit to a monthly payment unless you have 30K sitting around. With an Fbody, according the what oyu want, you can find in any price range between 1,000 bucks and 10,000. If you have the money you can buy it, if not keep searching. The evo has only been on the American market for 5 years, so there's not as many out there on the market, and they tend to hold their value quite well.

Let me ask you NJbadaSS, when you got your car, what have you done to it, and how long did it take you purchase all the mods. Do you have 500 bucks to shell out on a car in monthly payments over the next 5 years? not many of us do, if we did have that 500 bucks each month to blow, our cars would be alot faster, and done alot sooner.

Like I said, not all people can afford a car like that on Monthly payments, if that was the case i would have one, actually I prefer STi's but im not made of gold.

I agree, looks liek they were still under development of the car, they need to fit some fatter shoes in the back, with a decent wide boy kit. and also thats why Id prefer a STi over a evo, the Scooby's look alot better....cept the new ones, they look like poop.

[NjbadSS]

well for the record, when i purchased my SS camaro, I looked around and saw many different cars that caught my eye. I very well could have bought an evo or an STI, but I went with what i love..the camaro. The way you worded the quote I responded to, you made it seem like f body cars are just cheap and thats why we all get them over cars such as evo's and sti's. Not the case. As for me, and I am sure many others on this board, we went with what we love...the F body

[mc73nova]

people do not by EVO's for the looks.

That is your opinion, not a fact

It is a Mirage with a body kit.

It is based on a lancer and is far from the $15k version.

For the record I was saying nothing bad about f-body's. It just amazes me that unless someone does something with a gm vehicle it is considered stupid. A bunch of narrow minded people if you ask me. There is much more out there, I prefer GM vehicles but when I see something that I like, I wont force myself to hate it because it didnt come from GM.

[LTb1ow]

LS1.... check
GM ten bolt rear.... nope.

Its not nasty, I don't like.:rofl:

I totally agree with you..When I posted the video, I thought it was cool as hell what they did and gave them props, just was wondering what others on the board thought.

But what mods have you done then? and how long has it taken you to purchase them. now am i lookign to get a well it took me X amount of years, nah, im sure your gonna say you have no problem purchasing the parts you wants, thats great, as for alot of us on here, it takes us a while to purchase what we want. Im not saying F-bodies are cheap, but compared to how well Evo's and STi's hold their value, their handling capabilities, and their technological advancements on the racing world, I feel they are superior to F-bodies, except for the department of cost for aftermarket performance parts, adn aftermarket availability of the parts, thats where the F-body wins, they've been on the market since 1967, and believe me, there is no shortage of them, so they are cost efficient. I love my Camaro, I do, I put so much time and effort to mold it into what I dreamed of, I want a Third gen, and a 79 Camaro again, but my funds stop me short, so I have to work with what I got. I would love to have an AWD car, that seats 4 in a comfortable manner, and has a nice little turbo'd 4 cylinder.....but I alas, the funds stop me short.

What do I think of the vid. it's thoughtful, definantly different, but needs more R&D into it, a nice AWD system setup and a wider body and fatter shoes would do it some justice.

[LTb1ow]

You need to go drive a real V8.

The interior is not far from the 15k version, as it is all Mirage inside. As for everyone here being a GM fan boy I am not. I will buy any make as long as it performs and looks the part. I know a thing or two about Mitsu's. In fact I will bet I have owned a turbo Mitsubishi as long if not longer than anyone on this board (9 years) and it had the 4G63. Don't assume everyone is a hater because they are not feeling the swap. Maybe they are just not feeling the swap... Like me :nod:

[Blacdout96]

:rofl:

:lol: I have ,and its a blast, but hows a V8 in the snow, hows a V8 when you got a family? you gotta look long term.

[baddest434]

i appreciate any car thats got power and hauls ass. f-body or not i know how much time and money goes into these type of projects and give props to who does it. except rotary crap. those guys can all go to hell!!!!

[BigAls87Z28]

i wonder how close the underpinnings from the g8 are and if they used that as a guide on how to do it. i wouldnt doubt it.

Uh...I hope you were being sarcastic as they would be totaly different and outside of having 4 wheels and 4 doors, they have nothing in common...

Agreed. How many times can one do an LS1 in an LS1 car. Its great and all, but I love nothing more then to see GM powertrains in non-GM vehicles.

[LTb1ow]

Long term? I can sit or used to be able to sit 4 in my camaro, and if you don't drive like a moron, then its fine in the winter.

QFT. I love all makes, im not bias. What 4G63 do you own, and did it have the dreaeded walking crank? I got a 6G72 3000GT, and though its a pain in the ass to work on, one day ill have it back together cause i love the thing.

[NastyEllEssWon]

you said in another thread that you hate the styling of 4th gen camaros....

so which is it? :lol:



did i say 4th gens...i said fbody....i bought this car for the performance not the looks. imo yes 4th gens do look like sebrings with an attitude problem. but the styling of the fbody is what gets me. wedge shape aerodynamic design, double headlights, open grille...its a sleek car but my LEAST FAV fbody. still enjoy the styling or i wouldnt have owned it.


the mirage was the car that was basically rebadged as a base model lancer. same thing. and yeah there is a big difference between the base model lancer and the evo.....too bad everything they took out is the stuff you paid for.


waste of an ls motor imo. couldve gave it away to someone with an lt1. :moon:

[LTb1ow]

Your right, I do need a new coffee table....

[baddest434]

I had a 1st gen DSM and it did not have crank walk. The 2nd Gen's were more prone to it. It was a great car but the build quality from Mitsu is not the best. There is a reason you never see a 1st gen on the road any more...

[LTb1ow]

:rofl: here we go again

I shall try to refrain.

[baddest434]

I shall try to refrain.

you WILL give in lol
i know you :lol:

[LTb1ow]

Yea well, LS1 guys are such idiots sometimes... all that piston slap goes to their heads....

[NastyEllEssWon]

LS1.... check
GM ten bolt rear.... nope.

Its not nasty, I don't like.:rofl:




actually it was just for this little comment from uncle jesse im addressing.

[LTb1ow]

What do you mean? I stated a fact and unlike some people had reasoning behind my grossly stupid opinions. Seems ok to me.

[sweetbmxrider]

i think its pretty ****in cool. i wish the blower had the belt on it.

evo's are nasty by themselves, awd and a good turbo and they can walk most bolt on ls1's but i guess this will help even the race up :lol:

[NastyEllEssWon]

dont act innocent like it wasnt a reference to a previous thread just like the other comment in here haha


its not ''nasty''.....


rofl im not dumb

[NjbadSS]

wow this thread got interesting.. haha..i figured others would just think it was a cool swap and that be that

[CamaroGirlie]

wow this thread got interesting.. haha..i figured others would just think it was a cool swap and that be that

HaHa yea you don't know these people very well. You don't just get a simple answer when u ask a question....the debates get very intense on here

the plane will, and did take off

there is nothing narrow minded about my opinion. i dont like it. its not practical unless they kept the AWD, its basically a g8. its cool that they put it together and made it work. but its kidna useless.

if you want to save weight a 240sx, 300zx, rx7, etc etc are perfect candidates, are badass when done right and sleepers because not a lot of them are fast. but evos are meant to be fast and isnt as much of a sleeper effect.

[LTb1ow]

dont act innocent like it wasnt a reference to a previous thread just like the other comment in here haha

I don't seem to recall that...
Or wait, was that the multiple posts about LS1's being inherently better? Than EVERYTHING?


Nope, don't remeber that.

I'm talking about the people that repeatedly post everytime someone shows something other than a GM, its considered garbage.

Not practical? Useless? LS engine and rear wheel drive = ALL F-bodys. hmmm

No one is talking about saving weight, I was pointing out that it was different.

Dont hate on him because his rear is holding up or the fact that he isnt scared to beat on it.

im not hating on him. its just my opinion that i dont care for it. if i was going to do something different i would make it useful, like AWD. its not practical because you might as well have an fbod or g8.

i jsut dont see the point besides it being different. i love the rx7 with an LS motor though, that is badass. thats different. am i not narrow minded anymore?

this is badass too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1OO8GGgwZs

practical for weight and a fun ass little quick car.

[Rich189]

because if we wanted a car that looked like that we'd buy an evo. we dont. so we buy fbodies cause we like the styling....its the complete opposite of our cars...so yeah i guess we wouldnt like it

This coming from the dumb ass who hates how camaros look....

Either way i can apperiate the performance but like paul said it needs awd to really be impressive to me. Personally i would have just spent the money on mods and probably have ended up with a faster car that retained awd

[WayFast84]

Nastyellesswon Is a hater. Just plain and simple.
