While you have the entire AWD rear suspension on the ground, you might as well upgrade all
the rubber bushings with polyurethane bushings.

I'm in the midst of turning an 89 Turbo Mirage into a 2.0 Turbo Mirage with 1G parts.
Best of luck !

I dont think its possible but if you do this you are the man. Before you go cutting anything or taking things apart I suggest taht you go to dsmtuners.com or 2gnt.com and look this up. BTW dsmtraders.con great place to find that you need and conceptillusions.con is parthing out a 1g gsx all parts mint cond.
