You built your own car.. sweet. Was it a kit or totally custom?
It was sort of totally custom...
It started as a 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage rolling chassis. (which is the same CP9A as the Lancer Evolution IV, V, VI and 6.5)
So I got it, took it all apart. And rebuilt it. Not like a bodykit or anything like that... this was a total rebuild. The ONLY differences between my car and a "real" 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V RS were...
*** Disclaimer... car talk***
1. I stayed away from AWD (I was waiting until I blew my motor to upgrade it)
2. Instead of Brembo 6 Pots I used Powerslots with 4 pots and Carbon pads (2 pot rear calipers)
3. My car had a sunroof. (Only an option on the GSR but those weren't available in LHD)
Thats basically it. Alas tho... she was wrecked and then stolen. Yes in that order. and NO I don't wanna talk about it.
Here's pics.

Ran a 12.3 on slicks and 100 octane at 14psi of boost.
And it was a MONSTER on the road course.
