That looks like Adams plans...
Pretty much what he's hoping to do to his... He's just getting some injectors and fuel pump in the next couple of weeks and then he's getting the AWD done...
The first 6a13 AWD FTO in the world... I cant wait... and its not even my car.

Sometimes it is just more practical to have those extra 2 doors... :)

As soon as my kids learn to crawl, they can learn to fold a seat forward & crawl into the rear seat! :lol:

That lancer uses an Evo engine and drivetrain...

Adam will be using his 6a13TT Legnum engine with Galant Gearbox and some running gear.

That kid has big plans for his FTO and he will do it too...

I would think it is safe to say when he's finished it will be the best FTO ever...
Some of the things he's doing (yes im jealous)
- Brembo Brake system (like $8k worth)
- Custom Pearl Flame paint
- Custom interior with 4 subs and $6k of custom lighting
- $3.5k of Tein suspension goodies
- Recaro Seats
- 26psi 6a13 engine
- AWD System
- And whatever else he gets done along the way...

He wants heaps of show and even more go...
Considering he's already halfway there, and he now has another car to drive round in, he will do it for sure.
Would be hard pressed to find another FTO with more work...

And EVos??? They are nice... They are pretty quick...
But they are common... Everyone can see one and go... noice... an evo...

I see heaps of people saying to me.. nice car... what the hell is it???

Then you've also got the sleeper factor... Everyone thinks N/A V6 = Slow...

But they can run up against a lot of turbo cars...

Or in a few cases (me, adz, jeff, Danny, WR, etc) we can give an EVo/ Skyline racer the fright of their life as we fly past them... lol...

Try wiping the grin off my face after I chew a R34 with work done...
Or a turbocharged Commodore...



(of course this is all on the track..... :lol:
