Hey guys! I thought I'd throw my build on here to see what u guys think. It's a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage LS Coupe. I've had the car for a couple years now but I finally decided to go ahead with the build. After I sold my Evo8, I decided to start my Mirage build. Since I had a bunch of parts collecting dust I figured why not. I scored on a mirage parts car that the previous owner had done a bunch of stuff done on. So I picked it up and salvage whatever I could.
I'm not done yet but I'm awfully close. A lot of sweat, blood, and tears.

Some random pictures over the years:
Removed the PS components and rack and replaced it with a Mirage non-powerseteering rack
Started on the EVo 5 lug front Brembo swap and Stainless steel brake lines
Upgrading the stock Master Cylinder to utilize the bigger brakes
Removing and replacing the stock Mirage trailing arms with 04-06 ralliart. Sadly I won't be running Brembos for the rears unless I get a custom bracket made.
Installing my Kyb AGX with H&R springs
Rear end since I'm not going AWD anytime soon
Dropped my gas tank and installed my DW340lp Fuel Pump
I picked up these JDM Evo 6 Recaro seats form Iowa
Straight bolt in no modification required.
Picked these up these gauges at DB to go along with the interior
Started getting the motor ready to drop in. Don't be confused, that was the g64 eclipse trans I was going to used to stay fwd instead I picked up the modded transfer case so I can utilize the Evo trans.

Dropping the motor in
Installing my modded TRE transfer case
