Well, since there's no true Mirage-only thread, I'm gonna start this one. Post about your ride, mods, ideas, etc.

My Mirage:

1998 Mirage DE Coupe

1.5 4G15 SOHC four

Custom short-ram intake w/AEM Dryflow filter
Custom-made long-tube headers w/2.5" collector + reducer (2.5" to 2")
Custom-made (see a pattern?) header-back 2" exhaust
w/ Magnaflow high-flow catalytic converter
& Magnaflow muffler (no tip)
TB bored to 51mm (from 46mm stock)

Suspension:
KYB GR-2 dampers
Progress Springs
Eibach Camber Kit
Mitsubishi Front Sway Bar (from LS)
Energy Suspension sway bar end links
Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar kit
Super PRO anti-lift/caster kit (coming soon)
Front & Rear Strut Braces

Brakes:
'00 Mirage front rotors (+1")
Hawk HPS pads
Motul RBF600 brake fluid
Rear disc conversion (from ABS-equipped 4th gen sedan - coming soon)
Braided brake lines (coming soon)

Wheels & Tires:
Konig Helium in 15 x 6.5", bronze (10.8 lbs. ea.)
Yokohama AVS ES100 tires in 205/50VR15

No interior mods. No carbon fiber. No bling.

 

Any pics?

 

The car is very dirty now. I'll wash it and take pics soon.

 

sounds sweet, custom is definatly the way to go for overall cost effectiveness vs power gains. Need some pics, would definatly like to see your exhaust system.

 

Pics. Reminder, the car is still dirty. It's set up for Auto X (STS class) :


Dirty...


The Progress Springs lowered it about 1.8”


Notice the Magnaflow muffler tucked-in (no tip – no bling) and the Whiteline adjustable sway bar.


Custom headers. They feed a 2.5” collector. The whole exhaust has given me some much needed torque, and it sounds mean.


Konig Heliums wrapped with Yokohama AVS ES100 tires in 205/50VR15. I commute to work in this car, so I need street tires. The front brakes are larger (10”) ’00 Mirage discs/calipers/brackets with Hawk HPS pads.

More pics to follow as soon as I wash it…

 

Nice!

 

Thanks. Can't wait to wash it, but I can't find the time.

Wow! Nice ride.

I wish I could get a carbon hood for my ride, but ithat would move me to a different class. The only way to lose weight at the front while staying STS legal is to install a lighter battery. Going from a 40 lbs. battery to a 12~15 lbs. one is a serious reduction, more than most carbon hoods can do. Or I can get the lighter battery and move it to the trunk.

BTW, I would like to score a set of Evo 4~6 front seats. Any idea where to get them?

 

Adam! I saw you at the DC Evo club bbq but I was wondering who you were. I'd love to talk to you about the swap and do some reading on the work you've done.
