What an INSANE Journey! I've already got another crazy build planned...Hit that SUB button to stay up to date! Full build playlist here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXqlpJSbaNx4pqs&pp=gAQBiAQB

[@silent6292]

I've been here since the first turbo install on this car. What a journey, man ! Congratulations and we hope to see the (f)Evo thrive !

[@itsmikelake]

Thank you for sticking around bro! What a journey. We have lots more planned for the (f)Evo! 😛

[@EstebanDonJuanCarlos]

I came for E46 content. I stayed for Lancer content.

[@itsmikelake]

Haha yes! Thanks for sticking around bro 😁👊🏻

[@Lukeaus420]

I love how you took a bad situation and didn't make a hole lot of fuss about it and built something truly unique! Your a inspiration too us all with everything you do honestly.

[@itsmikelake]

Thank you bro. I’m all about making the most out of what you have. It’s all about having a good time hey! ❤️

[@LolaKorolla]

Mate I saw this lancer on instagram and it this popped up on KZbin. I couldn’t stop laughing at how beautiful the yellow came out and the drifting was amazing! Making me want to rwd swap my ae93 😂 much love ❤

[@SkyfighterZX]

10 minutes of pure joy, made it look easy 😅 this is such a ridiculously cool car, i've never followed a car build on YT like i did this one from the very first video where you bought it with a missing grill and some ugly ass fake vents 😂 Also i kinda like how this car is an amalgamation of Evo 5 and Evo 6, the spoiler is Evo 6 but the front bumper is kinda Evo 5,but also has the sides of the Evo 6 TM Bumper that conects with the wide fenders, and the back bumper is just an unique piece that no Evo had (i believe), makes it a very original build, and the obvious fact that is FR instead of AWD, thank you for the countless hours of priceless content, don't you dare crash that thing! Also get yourself a Evo sticker for the boot 😅

[@itsmikelake]

I couldn’t agree more with this comment. There’s nothing quite like having a 1 of 1 car that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. This car is truly unique and seeing the reaction on people’s faces has already made the whole build worth the time & $$. ❤️

Yep we plated them with reinforcement plates! Sorry it was hard to show everything on this 10min vid 😅 but we showed it in the in depth build series 🤙🏻

Sick vid Mike! Looked weird but cool on track! 😂 (Editing on point 👌)

Thanks bro! Felt weird on track too 🤣. This vid took me 9 hours to edit so I appreciate that 🥰

[@tinmerah3260]

Dude.. whats the dimension/size of your old intercooler? It looked flushed & fit..

[@itsmikelake]

It’s the smaller maxpeedingrods intercooler. It would have been very restrictive on the new engine setup. It was perfect for the 4g93 turbo however!

[@notsosoupy]

killed it bro 👌👌

[@itsmikelake]

Thanks bro. Honestly can’t thank you enough for all of your help on this build. Without you, this car doesn’t exist! ❤️

[@SequenceEmcee]

Is it street legal though? Been thinking about doing this to mine but unsure if its legal to drive on the street being that the fuel tank is in the boot instead of underneath

[@itsmikelake]

It’s as street legal as it needs to be haha. As long as it’s done properly you won’t have too much trouble…unless you’re being silly in it 😛

Awesome build, do not like the rear bar. OEM Evo 5 would’ve been my pick

[@itsmikelake]

Cheers! Yeah the rear bar is certainly an acquired taste that’s for sure 😅

[@bagatuuri8070]

And in a week need new baerings, not sure is that ca18 the best option to go but well should be rather easy to swap to sr when you broke that one :)

[@itsmikelake]

The CA seems solid so far! Time will tell 😛. But you’re right, easy swap in an sr if we ever want to

[@B_Z63]

Thats the first rear wheel drive evo with the old styling

ur selling the Au ?

Sadly she has sold to make way for a new build!

[@boofboy]

That car deserves much more power and torque. ca18 is a great motor but its only going to hold that car back.

[@itsmikelake]

I can tell you from driving it, it has the perfect amount of power 😁

[@danieljackson443]

No wonder the 93 had a hole in the block its not even a turbo engine but good to know you can plus t it

[@itsmikelake]

It had a dud fuel pump in it when the thieves stole it. So it would have run lean and exploded. The car ran amazing with the turbo for 10,000km before that and I thrashed it 🤣

[@Jesse-fk2ko]

Now I want to do this. Maybe a sr20 or something odd and weird

[@itsmikelake]

SR would be so fricken cool!

[@Jesse-fk2ko]

That’s what I was thinking 🤔 but ca’s have such a cool sound the sr can’t get

[@valantischristodoulou]

no no no . When you get to the point of cutting an EVO like this 01:22 , that's called killing the car not fixing it . I would put a 4G63 and make it that reliable and strong like an airplane

[@itsmikelake]

YES YES YES! The ca18 is a mighty motor as proven in this video 😛

[@Deverae4]

Fucking awesome broo!

[@itsmikelake]

Thank you bro!

[@avocadoarms358]

Why a CA18 you ask? My theory is because they’re they dime a dozen engine because everyone wants the SR20 for better mod-ability, everyone I know that have gotten an s14 with the CA18 have ether engine swapped to an SR or sold the car on to get one with an SR

[@itsmikelake]

Yeah CA is massively underrated. But just listen to the sound this thing makes 😍

You could've added two more cylenders in there. 7M GTE

In my opinion, he 4cyl is right at home in this chassis. A 6cyl just wouldn’t feel right. And the sounds this ca18 makes are just AMAZING

Why didn’t you just buy another evo motor and bolt up the basics and chuck it in?….you hacked up an evo and downgraded it with an old ass ca18 and butchered the body and turned it into Frankenstein….could of at least gone a sr20 and kept it awd and used pulsar gtir drive train and running gear….🤦🏻‍♂️

[@itsmikelake]

…you clearly didn’t watch the video 😅. Good job. Also, why sr20 over ca18? We made very healthy power and this thing absolutely shreds. By the sounds of it, you have endless $$ to spend on cars.
