Bill, with the new lancer evo coming in without the active differential, this becomes easier as you would not have to make the extensive electrical modifications you talked about. You could just use the mechanical differential and center coupling on the new american spec EVO8

No, it's not a "cool" as active control blah blah blah, but it would make such a modification FAR less of a hassle that it would be, and this type of thing would be a MAJOR hassle in the first place! I can't imagine trying to do this witout a LOT of money, time, and the proper tools and facilities! :o

-=B-= <===== not that I have thought about doing this or anything...

Oh noooo, I wouldn't have guessed that :rolleyes :P just kidding there.

And Bill, not everyone in the 4g63 crowd is an unoriginal naysayer, don't let the bad seeds taint your view of some good people in that crowd.
