Default My Mirage. What should I do

Well Its got 2 bad things. One is a automatic, big flaw. Two is a 1.5 motor. But Im getting the car for dirt cheap. My plans before I found out what motor was in it, was to do a evo conversion exterior, and a few motor mods with a cleaned up interior. But I have been all over trying to find something for that motor, and I can't do anything with it. I don't have the knowledge or budget to swap motors.. So should I just make it a DD and make it look nice like I wanted? Im guessing smallest engine so it has to be good on gas at least? I would love to do a 4g63t motor swap, but again tranny line up? wireharness, all the fun stuff.

Can I buy Evo rotors and Brembo Cali? What can I buy to fit in the car of evo, or other cars

Don't bother spending anything on it. Use it for exactly what it is, a daily beater.

Save your cash and then get something you really want.

yea unless your really looking to spend some serious cash.
use it like it is,
maybe put some clean rims and some lowering springs to get rid if the gap in the front wheel wells.
and yes, that engine is great on gas, but slow as all hell.
:P

g15 autos are next to worthless when it comes to performance, so i really wouldn't waste any money on that. like it has been said, make it look nice and save your money for something that's meant to be driven fast. i'd recomend staying away from anything larger than a 16" rim, just cuz it'll slow you down even more.

So very true. The best thing to do is make it the best looking A to B in your area. And Im not talking about ricing it out. Conservative styling can really go a long way.
