hey, I have the car, and don't know if it is worth it to tune the stock motor and change parts to get power, or to change out the engine to something already with a good amount of power, I have herd of Evo VII engine swaps, but not sure if thats a myth or good idea
i'd love to see someone put the eclipse gt v-6 into a lancer. but the new ralliart's mivec will fit definately.
and on a side note. why do you keep asking if it's worth it to tune this car? it's ultimately you're choice. it's been asked enough. there's more than enough threads about swaps. i'm fairly certain this thread and your questions have been more than adequetly answered.
