i was wanting to know if anybody on here has ever tried doing it. I'm thinking about starting a new project and i wanted to do an evo 6 just wanting to know if anybody has done it and can kinda point me in the direction on how to do it and how hard it was and where they got the parts thanks.

 

It has been done. Look up AMS Maryland and mirage.

 

i seen there mirage but i want the body kit and everything

 

You're better off just getting one of those grey market CP9A's than trying to build one out of Mirage especially if you're trying to make it look exactly like the stock one. Either way, the car still won't be street legal.

 

will a 4g63 bolt right up in a mirage and why wouldnt it be street legal and im just trying to make a clone it doesnt have to be exact but i want to get as stock looking as i can

 

i know it can be done. i've never tried it. hell, we put a 4g63 in a mitsubishi cordia back in the day ha. i dont know why a mirage wouldnt be possible

 

im just wanting to know how much trouble its going to be.

 

This is the number 1 most popular thing to do to a Mirage. Defiantly not anything new. I wish I had saved for a 4g63 swap instead of turboing my 1.8 4g93.

Go here www.mirageforums.net Search, there is a **** ton of information about 4g63 swaps, AWD swaps etc.

 

If it is just the engine you want to swap then should not be too much of a problem, but what about the transmission and drivetrain including ACD?

As for body work, you'll need different headlights, front and rear bumper, front and rear fenders, hood and side skirts for sure, and a wing too if you want it.

Then there is welded chassis stiffening as well as bolt on parts like sway bars, you need different springs and shocks. You need a whole new set of brakes.

From my knowledge, CP9A (Evo IV to VI) do not meet US safety and emission standards, not that it was ever tested (its not only about how well a passenger survives from a crash but also minor things like the blinkers not being amber colored etc).

Due to your car's VIN#, it is a regular Mirage and legally your car has no problem, but as I said, technically it may not meet the safety and emissions standards if tested, just like many other heavily modified cars. This could lead to complications when you get pulled over.

The OP wants exact clone, perhaps keeping the LHD configuration, but not a mirage with 4g63t swap, 4wd swap and some aftermarket body kit.

 

I saw Adam from Devo driving his real LHD Evo V around the other night. I heard from someone he is trying to sell it. I would contact him, that is one beautiful car.

 

just get the real deal through Kiazo, cause thats not expensive at all..... ha might as well get an R34 while your at it,

 

I built my evo III and I am now building a 2 door version also

It is not that hard to do. just get your self a front clip with the rear end and you are good to go. It takes money and time to find all oem body panels like I did. most of the guys that do it just get a body kit from vis to make it cheap and easy.

both of my cars are on here will a crap load of pics

tkrperformance your car is sick but I don't think I can go as far as you did I'm thinking about buying a mirage and getting an aftermarket body kit and some wheels and doing the the 4g63 swap the poor mans evo 3
