And the DE 3A is ?

I'm a little confused where does the DE3A fit in the general scheme of the FTO hirachy, is it a performance model, upmarket ftom the GPX or-- ?

DE3A and DE2A are chassis codes that identify the FTO from other rolling shells, like the Lancer CT9A, RVR N23W and so on.
the rest of the numbers there-after identify your FTO from any other FTO.

DE2A is the GS. An FTO with a 4 cyllinder. Never really got many over here. I know of 2. DE3A is everything else (GR,GPX,GPvR)

Thanks for that .

I'm now in the process of buying a GPvR and have been given to understand that the GPvR is the equivalent, comparitively, to the difference between say a Honda Civic R to other Honda Civics that are not an 'R'

What is the difference actualy ?

In other words I haven't got a clue what I'm buying and probably should be shot

Or, a my mother used to say "A fool and his money are soon parted"

Do the DE2As (GXs) have the engine mounting points in different locations? Would it be easier to mount an EVO engine in a GX? Any other differences between the 2 chassis?

na identical to a gr chassis and mount are the same on either vehicle. A GS however would be far easier to turbo its current 4 pot motor than any of the 6's

the DE2A is the GS not the GX (GX is a newer version of the GR(non mivec v6))

it is the standard Lancer 1800 motor, and came in a turbo form (lancer GSR), it would be easier to slot in a new motor into the GS for the sheer reason that its easier to take out than a 6A12 v6.

an evo engine of the era (96-00) should easily fit on the same GS mounting points
