Now you don't see one of these everyday:







Evo 6 TME GSR turbocharger. This came exclusively on the GSR model and featured the lightweight turbine, giving it a much quicker spool. I was going to pick up the 16G model, but this was right in my price range (and spools faster). This is obviously a used turbo so I'm likely going to rebuild it before installing, just to be safe. More updates coming soon!

Very nice. I hope you're at least pretty close to finish by now!

I just opened another bank account to start saving money for a Mirage. Right now, there's only $8 in it, but I can definitely get it to grow much more than that around next spring.

I also need to apply for a license and insurance so i can use the Volvo to get around while I work on my future Mirage, especially since the university I attend to is right next to the DMV, and I mean RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

Found this Mirage in my city; it's the final model year:

Hopefully, it'll still be around for next spring. I did find one a few months ago that was $1000 or best offer, but now, it's down, unfortunately.

Can't wait till my Mirage is looking like that. A friend from Okinawa has evo 4 and evo 5 front bumper and don't know which one to buy yet.

Might test fit the rear floor later, weather permitting.

If it's at all possible, look at using the evo rear strut towers too, they are raised compared to the base lancer to give more suspension travel.

Any updates? Seemed like a lot was going on a little over a month ago.
