I was surfin the web for used mirage parts to fit my lancer and came across uneedapart.com I am impressed I sent my request in and had fifteen different offers within an hour. You guys that payed a hundred or more for the mas sensors missed out I can get one at 65 with shipping included.

 

Wow. Was it a list of salvage yards or individual sellers?

 

I've seen similar sites that are more or less landless junkyards. They have hookups with either junkyards across the region/country or just individual sellers. I checked one when I needed a headlight assembly for my Grand Am. They were still near twice as expensive as my local junkyard, but it's a lot harder to find Lancer parts than '88 Gran Am LE parts.

 

Landless junkyard? Then, it's a matter of trust between the seller and buyer.

Yup. For someodd reason, headlight assembly cost a heck of a lot expensive. 1 headlight assembly = the cost of 4 new decent tires (not really performance one nor el cheapo). I've tried to look for one and was discouraged at the price.

 

Some of them have yards of their own too. They wil either arrange a P2P sale or they'll play middleman. Usually I've seen P2P so that they're not responsible for any misadvertisements.

 

StreetLancer was telling me that there are lots of parts that are from the Mirage that'll fit the Lancer. Is he rite??

 

Yes, some parts. It's mitsu cost saving effort.

 

Which parts??

 

Well, I don't know if I can name all of them off the top of my head.

Engine:
The block, injectors, FPR, fuel rail (should be but never really checked), valves, and MAF are the same. There are probably more like the tranny and starter. Fuel Pump, no reason to be different.

Difference to the 4g93: P/S assembly, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and water thermostat housing. This is verified by me.

Suspension.
Seems like the ES is the same as the mirage chassis.
LS and OZ are different a bit.
