Where did you get the front Strut bar? A Mirage or Evo?

Nice job with the paint. Saw this over on the Mirage forums a while back. The yellow always did stand out in the 3's

Excellent work. I'm envious of your perseverance! I can hardly switch my brake pads without getting frustrated!

+1 on the great job.

thanks everyone.

total spent on this car is right around 9 or so. I spent 4 on it before i ever knew what i was gonna do to it, at that time i got the windows tinted, better sound, alarm, the full evo 3 body kit, body work, engine work and had to get the auto trans rebuilt. the front clip was 3900 shipped to my door complete with everything, i got a killer deal. did all the labor so that was free. Then after that just fluids, oil changes, maintenance stuf. The paint and stuff was right around... 400-500 i would say and my friend got all the guns and compressor for me to use because he wants to paint his car first. So in all honesty for just the swap and stuff its probably somwhere near 5grand, but the total in the car is about 9grand.

evo 1-3 have a 2 piece thicker proper shaft and use a different type of rear end and axles. The dsm/gvr4 are pretty much the same from what ive seen, i'm in the process of getting a 90 galant gsx and im gonna build that one as well as far as the 2g i'm not sure i haven't really messed with those much.

strut bars are evo bars that i got from this guy in dallas, they made a huge difference with the handling. The evo 1-3 suspension is interchangeable with the 93-96 mirages (4gs) as is the interior and exterior and other parts.
