"Darling im a nightmare dressed like a daydream". 4g63lover's DD 01 LS #tswizzle
I have always wanted an EVO. Most people who know me well, knows its been my dream car for a while. A few months ago, I decided that by the end of this year, I will have an EVO. Either a white EVO IX or a White EVO X. This meant one thing though, I had to get rid of a car payment. At the moment, we had our 2010 Mazda3 and my daily driver 2011 Lancer.

I was looking for older Lancers at first, and when I went to go look at a Lancer at a local dealership, I saw this beauty.

I took it out for a test drive and I didnt want to get out.
Well, we are a little upside down on the Lancer, mainly because I packed the miles on in a short period of time, and we had about a year left on the Mazda. So as much as I hated to get rid of the Mazda, BOOM gone she went, and I was down to one car payment a month and in another 8G.
The first day I took her home.

LS, 100k miles, sunroof, leather, premium sound, etc. Paint was clean and it was essentially rust free. Towers are clean as well as the quarters.
I threw my Lancers winter set up on her. Around this time I started calling her Taylor Swift. Haha. Hence why she has been dubbed "tswizzle"

The 205/60/16 General Altimax made Tswizzle look like a monster truck!
As far as my wife knew, it was going to be my daily driver and staying stock.
That didnt last long.

Got all the parts from 00galantguy. 5-speed swap parts, coilovers, transmission, etc.
I dont have a lot of pictures of progress but The coils are on, and she is 5speed swapped.

I dont have many plans for her at the moment because I use her as a daily driver. I need to do some housekeeping, some maintenance like tierod and tierod ends because the jam nut is a pain to adjust right now and toe arms for the rear. The car is pretty clean but the cam bolts for the rear toe adjust are really in there.
I figure I drive her til the 72 dies, at that point get another daily and throw a 3.8 in tswizzle.
As of right now, she looks like this. Excuse the shitty pictures, I took all of about 10 minutes to snap these.
