Default Where's everyone from?

Ok, seeing as all of us Mirage/Colt/Summit kids are so frikin boring, I thought I'd start a new thread and try to get everyone talking. Where's everone from? Whatcha got done to your car? Any future plans? Spanked any Honda boys lately? Just a few topics of discussion, feel free to add on. I'll start!

My name is Chris, I live in the middle of nowhere in good ol' Buckeye country (oh ya, national championship bound baby! GO BUCKS!). I own 2 Mirages, a 1999 canary yellow naturally aspirated 5g DE sedan. Nothing much done to this one, intake and a HP racing catback, some underbodies, short shift kit, ect. ect. ect.

My real pride and joy is my 1998 Silver turbo charged 5g DE Sedan. There are only a handfull of these here in the states, just about everything is custom built. Here's the list of mods for her:
-T3 Super 60 turbo charger, internally gated @ 9psi
-Hallman manual boost controller
-Custom turbo manifold
-Custom bent intercooler pipes
-FMIC (soon to be replaced with an Evo VIII FMIC)
-XSP blow off valve
-210cc injectors
-AEM fuel pressure regulator
-A'Pexi SAFC II
-Custom 2.5" turbo-back exhaust (no cat, she cackles when you pop the throttle )
-H&R lowering springs
-Front upper strut brace
-Stiffened shifter bushings
-Clutchmaster's Stage 3 clutch
-HSR Racing 15x6 5 spoke rims (flat black)
-Autometer A/F & Boost guages
-Pivot Race tach
-Sparco shift ****
-Pioneer head unit
-Jensen 220w amp
-2x Rockford Fosgate P1 12" subs
-Evo V body kit
-Vis Evo V carbon fiber hood


Soon to come:
-D2 36-way adjustable race coil overs
-A2 Designs valve springs
-A2 Designs Stage 2 upper intake manifold
-Ram-horn style turbo manifold
-T3/T4 hybrid turbo
-38mm external wastegate
-275cc Mivec injectors
-A2 Designs fuel rail
-Battery relocation kit
-Ground wires
-Evo VIII Recaro Racing seats
-Evo VIII Front Mount Intercooler
-Enkei 17x7 Evo V rims (gunmetal)
-Nitto Neo gen's
-Maybe a new paint job

So there's my baby in a nut shell. Still a lot of work to be done to her, but she's commin along.

idk really. The price of those things change all the time and im not too sure about the prices in Japan.. the only thing i know is that they are alot cheaper than england. I would say the whole cost would be around 15k
