Plenty of 4 door conversions around. I wanted something different. Anyway, once
I do the coudan (coupe with sedan front) conversion, it'll look the same as the 4 door
but I'll have a 2in shorter wheelbase and 2 less doors. An example would be Archie
Concon's Mirage from back in the day. It's an Evo 5 conversion though. For reference, it's the
same make, model, and trim package as my coupe is.

 

Just got back from a 4hr trip to get some parts from a fellow Mirage enthusiast! Picked up a set of JDM Evo IV amber corner lamps,
a spare TC Sportline rear tower brace, (already have them all around, but couldn't pass up the price) and a set of Koni Yellows to
replace my blown out stockers. I was hoping that 8/9 springs would be the same diameter, but they're not so my S. Techs will have
to wait till later. I'm gonna order a set of H&R springs for the 5th gen Mirage soon and that will complete my stage 2 suspension
setup. Just gotta install everything! My updated suspension setup will be this:

H&R springs (5G Mirage)
Koni Yellow front strut inserts
KYB AGX rear struts
18mm front anti-swaybar with Energy suspension bushings
no rear swaybar
Anti-bumpsteer knuckles

The Yellows up front combined with the AGX's out back gives me externally adjustable dampers on all four corners!
Pretty stoked! The cars handling will be so much better!

 

I go to greenwood in the weekend quite often, let me know if you are going.

 

^Will do. Won't be this weekend though, got some stuff to do. I just ordered my H&R Sport springs. Hopefully I'll have everything
and have it installed by the following weekend. If the car's not on jack stands, I'll try to be there.

 

Stuff is all here! Got the Koni Yellows for up front and a set of H&R springs!
(AGX's in the rear) and gonna install everything as well as the swaybar on Monday!
Stoked to see the new stance!

BEHOLD! The worlds crappiest spraycan job! (old OE strut bodies, yellows are just inserts)

 

Everything is installed except the swaybar. Had some issues with the brakes that were urgent and ran out of time.
New stance is much better, about an inch lower in the rear and 2 or more in lower in the front.

 

Installed a new pair of KYB AGX's out back today. Only had the old ones on for four months and they were completely shot.
Advance was cool though and warrantied them out for me so I have a minty fresh pair of new ones on now!
Also...were painting the bus on Monday.

 

I can't wait to see this thing finished, that's for sure!!!

 

Thanks. It's a project, it'll never be "finished" haha. I may hold off on painting my other parts. I might be making a large purchase soon, so I need the cash. We'll see what happens.

 

I vote for making a large purchase =)

 

Hehe we'll see if the bank votes for me making a large purchase. Things of awesome are in the werks.

Heh I can give you guys a hint. You won't be able to get it for me as they're no longer legal to import. Nah, I'm conversing with the guy still about it and we're clearing up the last few details. I think this is gonna happen and I'm stoked! I don't want to release the details till I've paid and it's on it's way cause this stuff is super rare stateside now. But no worries, as long as nobody else snatches it up before me, I should have a nice update in a couple weeks.
