build evo IV or buy evo IX
before you guys start critisizing about how shity the mirage is just listen or rather read.
i just started a new job and am thinking about either turning the mirage into an evo IV or buying a evo IX when the X comes out in sept.
the evo 9 already comes pretty quick from factory. pretty easy to upgrade it and there are a lot of parts for it, but just about everyone has one, still good-looking though and it's a dead giveaway and cop magnet.
there are not many mirages that have the 4g63t and it would just be a bad-*** sleeper but the costs would prob add up to about 10 grand or 15 , buying a front clip or source the parts. and maybe the poss of turning it AWD
also the evo is like 3500 lbs vs the mirage 2280lbs and maybe with the awd maybe it'd be 2500 lbs. better power to weight ratio.
i know that if someone had the choice, poeple would always avoid the hassle and work and leave the factory to do it and you just buy it. but in the end woudn't it be cheaper to just build the evo IV and be proud to have something that never came to the US and that not a lot of people have
opinions?

Re: build evo4 or buy evo 9
Get the mirage, but leave the mirage badges on. Don't be a homo and put evo badges on it. This will have two effects: 1) it will be sleeper and 2) you won't be as much of a ***. For the amount of money a new evo costs, you could make a mirage very... how shall I say... pimp, if you do it right. First I would invest in the newest evo drivetrain I could get, then get a set of 7.5" or 8" wide wheels and put some fat meat on them, weld in extensions on the fenders for widebody, body work, etc.

The s2000 is supercharged.
