You should just run your car now...get an idea of what you're doing on the current setup. Throw the turbo on, then see what kind of improvement you've made. I'll be at a track event sporting my stock d15...until I can get enough money together for a swap...

Hey, go check out the mitsubishi forum. Or maybe you shouldn't check out the mitsubishi forum, they might flame you for owning any car other than a 1G AWD. :lol:

Just kidding, welcome to the site. :)

A mirage always gets flamed on, people don't see the potential, thats why i'm boosting it , i almost got all the parts together, :D i already have the evo 6 front, evo 3 rear skirt, custom sideskirts, evo 2 corners, evo 2 gauge cluster, etc. Time to boost, get a new paintjob and some rims and i'll be fine

I met up with JDMEvo the other day..nice mirage. There's some minor things which need to be done externally (you know, painting that stuff), but you're going for the turbo first, so all the more power to you...

He even witnessed me almost going the wrong way on Dale Mabry on accident. Gotta look out for those medians, they'll get ya everytime!

There's one mirage that's anything but the subject of flames. Usually, if your car is factory turbo'd or has an engine good for turbo, that's all they need. Just don't buy a car with a 420a... ;)

Heh, we should really race sometime. I am planning a swap, but it's hard to fund when you're jobless. At least the way it is now, we'd have a good match-up!!! Heck, we could hype it up, and go to sunshine, lol...
