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.

Sweet ride. These are essentially the same as Metro's, correct? I've seen a few around but haven't seen them up close.

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.

"I've heard rumors on the internets" saying that they drop into metro's as well?

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.

is this car in florida, I'm checking autotrader and there's one there, same color/rims, and it says it's turbo, and did he really just sell it for $2,000, damnit, I would have been all over that thing.

300hp with a 14b? ???

it's a 4g63 not a d16, so it is possible, but at 17psi that 14b was alreadt pass it's efficiency range. Pop in a better turbo and just smile....
