Sleeper beats everyone
http://media.putfile.com/Mirage-beats-everyone
Car belonged to a good friend of mine and he recently sold it.Most of the races were on a stock sidemount intercooler and a 14b.He ended up makig close to 300hp on a fmic,stock longblock,14b,and a 50 shot.Most of the better races he had were when we didnt have the camera.I taped a couple and rode shotty when he beat all the 12 sec ls1's(the darker races).He's out of racing and so am i (for now) and i thought i would share.

No the mirages are the same as dodge colts.You can do a 1g dsm turbo harness swap or look for the ultra rare turbo models if you want one.The 4g63t bolts right in.

Re: Sleeper beats everyone
There's on in Tampa, FL, the guy did an AWD Eclipse GSX convertion, swapped everything in, everything bolts on except for of course the rear parts. I think it was a 95 Mirage 2 door.
Drove up to one of the track events, no one knew anything, didn't look that fast, no roll cage, no helmet, nothing. Then the guy runs a 10.99.....he got kicked out of the track, but it was definately funny to see. I guess it wasn't stock, but it did look stock.
What about wiring? I've always thought of getting an older Mirage and dropping the FWD 4g63t. The older Mirage hatches I think came with a 4g61t, but it's pretty much the same engine.
