Needs something to fill those front holes and the Evo badge has to go but apart from those the car is great.

very nice conversion....swap w/ turbo is a nice icing on the cake!

evoVclone

Thanks guys, I've got the fogs to fill the holes, just need to get some brackets made to mount them, the stock bracket won't do it. I don't plan on ditching the badge either, I bought it so people know what it is. I know it's not one yet, but I've already got the full conversion in the works.

But it still won't be an Evo V, it's a Mirage with a conversion. The equivalent would be me slapping an STI sticker on my car because I swap turbos or put a 6-speed in. I like the car, I just think the badge is tacky.

I like that mani. Is that custom? Where did you get it?

evoVclone

I'm not lowering it any further, I rub as it stands right now. Maybe for some shows I'll drop it down, but that's in the future and would probably be the only time. I will be doing some wider wheels down the line, but that'll be after the AWD and, consequently, the 5-lug conversion.
As for the kit, as far as I know, yes. Though the fenders don't feel like fiberglass, they may be OEM. (Bought the car with the kit already). I'm going to try and source OEM front, sides, and rear, since they'll fit better, and I won't have to deal with the cracking issues.

And Amby, I know what you mean, but I'm going to pull all the stops here. I'm swapping in an Evo motor, which will be mated to an Evo transmission powering an Evo AWD subframe. Other than that, the cars are physically identical, minus some welds and the gas tank. So it'd be more like if you swapped in an STi powertrain/drivetrain and through the badge on there. Yeah, it's still a WRX, but most people couldn't tell the difference. I'm not doing it to try and fool anyone, I just want to complete the look. The back looked really naked without them.
I still refer to it as a Mirage, but it's a lot easier to just tell people it's an Evo V instead of saying it's a Mirage with an Evo V bodykit and a turbo Lancer engine. Most people I've told that to give me the 'deer-in-the-headlights' look.

Manifold is custom made, not sure where it came from, bought the car in pieces, and that came with it. I may be able to get in touch with the mechanic who made it, though we're not on the best terms anymore. I may also be selling it sometime in the near future as an FYI.

lol, just let him be, eh. He wants to keep it.....trust me you won't change his mind.

I know but I can't just not say something.

evoVclone

The color's only a temporary primer, especially with the sh*tty job the mechanic did on it. (Half the car wasn't prepped before paint, and it's coming off on the passenger side.)
And I do redact my previous statement about dropping it, I'll probably lower the rear down a little but the fronts don't have much clearance as it is. I'll have to set the suspension stiffer too so it doesn't travel as much, not looking forward to it with the great* roads here...
