Awesome build!

 

Big update. I finally found a genuine Tommi Mak bumper and had it shipped over here from England. This makes my car now 100% original Mitsu parts.







Next update coming soon.

 

very nice score!!!!!! any idea on a color yet?

 

Does that hole on the drivers side have any ducting behind it? Is that made for the intake/iduction box or for cooling? Sorry I didn't search but I also like to bump this thread to help grow interest. Any hints on what is coming next? Also Why is the bottom inboard corner of the Passenger side opening opened more than normal? Im just curious but it looks great. For comparison : http://www.gussy.id.au/felix/JustinTME/TME04.jpg

The round hole is meant to be used as a cold air intake duct, however I have yet to hook anything up to it. As for the other side, it is opened up a little more to fit a larger intercooler and piping. You can see a little bit of IC piping peeking out of there. I bought it like that.

Up next? Probably a bigger turbo and I'll have the skirts and flares installed.

 

Thanks. Thats what I thought based on the location of the hole in proximity to the stock air filter location. Stock did it come with ducting to the air box because that would be very cool and a good opportunity to say 'because racecar' Same with the intercooler piping cutout. It looks more aggressive than stock while still looking factory.

Looking forward to seeing the skirts and flares on!

 

Went through all 55 pages. So sick, keep up the awesome work!!

 

I just read through the entire thread, great work. I feel like this car will need to make an appearance at MOD or DSM Shootout.

 

How ironic; You're almost complete, and at the same time, I'm getting my Mirage (technically) this weekend (if not earlier). I'm not doing any conversion work on it for a long time; it will be used as a commuter and as a "well-maintenanced-beater", for now.

It's a lot to explain, which is why I said "technically", so here's a short version of our plan: My cousin and I are going halfway on the Mirage, but HE is going to keep it until he comes back and gets his Camaro. He checked it out thoroughly and later test drove it last night, and we really liked it, despite some work needed to be done. When we get it, I'll upload some photos on my thread.

 

Great stuff man, im happy you got all 100% mitsu parts. So now all pieces are original Just like my car. Im Joel Cars, the one that would txt you from canada. Keep it up, we might meet one day !

Looking good Joel!

Oh and as promised, here is the new Evo 9 turbo. I also picked up a Megan manifold, might do a little experimenting with it, hehe.

 

^ very cool. I'm about 99% sure I want to build an Evo 5/6 from a Mirage based on the awesomeness of your thread

 

Add the fender flare and paint the car in malboro red/stickered theme just like that:



Pardon my ignorance,do you have the auto ac like JDM one??
