I picked up a 89 oem turbo mirage back on 5/16/09. I worked on this car a few years ago it was a buddys car that was going to be a awd 4202 drag car but never got done. So I picked it up with out a engine (he sold the 2.3 I built for it) for free
what I did to it before when he had it
new front rotors
new front pads
new front wheel bearings
new lower ball joints
new outer tie rod ends
rebuilt 90 fwd 4g63t tranny with lsd
As for what I will be doing to it. It will be getting a 4g63 na motor and tranny out of the wifes 90 eclipse for now because I have it and her winter car is rusted out. so this will be her new winter car.
I did a lot of work to the mirage a few years ago for James so 90% of it is all new still. Since he never got it done to drive it. It just sat in his drive way for 2 years before I picked it up
her eclipse for the last time before it goes to scrap this week
I put on the 90 turbo tranny with the p.grip I put in it years ago for James. act 2100 p.p. new disk from Craig. act fly wheel. I moved the radiator mounts on the car so I can run a honda 1/2 size in the car. Put the engine in I got all the mounts for the mirage but the front roll stop mount so I used the one from the 90 eclipse and welded on some flat steel to make it work. I started to hook every thing up on the car. I also cut the engine mount off and the most of the power steering bracket to clean it up a little bit.
