It does fit.. The Evos came out with it.. The RS edition was like the VersionR.. Got rid of all that and put in the normal a/c.. And I actually prefer it ..

The car is really comfy.. Love it..
I just had to add it ......

Thanks guys...

Just trying to sort out what I use for the rear wheels (5 stud conversion) as the FTO doesn't have the right set up .. Because not RWD ... Lol ... So hopefully Evo IV will work with minimal fuss...

Just bought flex fuel adapter as well ..

Never heard of it...

Can't remember to be honest.. Cost more than I told the wife though.. But was done by a mate of mine. He use to work at G-Trim, then started his own business. But doesn't do that for a living anymore..

Hmmm .. But no import plate ... Which I guess doesn't mean that it can't be considering the attempts they went to cover the vehicle identity when the car was stolen.. But why go to all the effort to convert from a 1.5 to a 1.8 Turbo ... If you were going to go to all the trouble to replace mounts and what not, why not just go straight to the 2.0t

But I would have thought it would have climate control if it were the import... Not sure if the MX did climate and manual a/c as I haven't seen any interior pictures ...

Hmmm .. Looks like my shape didn't come as 4WD in the MX ...

http://specs.amayama.com/mitsubishi/lancer/1994_10/

And with climate control ... My interior was different as well, so probably not an MX ... Just back to the theory of a bastardised GSR ...

For those that don't read the other thread..

Tomei Adj Cam Gears are in. Althogh I forgot to get a pic. But since I have a clear cover, they will be seen anyway. Just gotta wait for the rocker cover and that can all go back together soon.

Big brake upgrade... And 5 stud conversion...Too bad I never did this to the FTO but is a direct bolt on. I also have a spare set of GTO brakes.. Hehehehe..

Image

So for those not in the know.. We have:-

GTO 4 pot brakes (Gen 1)
Nissan 350z 324mm slotted rotors
EBC Red Stuff to be the pad of choice here

And the rear of the setup:

Image

So you can see how it bolts to the rear. With the help of a freaky parts bracket.

Still gotta decide what I do to the rear. But have to pull it all out so it can be pulled apart.

Flex fuel adapter and some other parts are there as well.. So just hunting down new injectors now. But will probably only be about $100 each.. SCORE!!

Not really anything else to do with it..

Put in stereo

That is about it.. And good old POS.. :)
