Default New Kid on the Block (with pics, 56k...make a sandwich, it'll be a few)

Hey everybody, thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Chris, I drive a 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage DE Sedan. Here's some pics and a list of mods.

Mods:
-T3 super 60 turbo charger, gated at 9psi
-Custom turbo manifold
-Hallman manual boost controller
-2.25" Intercooler pipes
-Really small FMIC (don't know the brand for sure, planning on swapping to an Evo VIII FMIC when I get time/money)
-XSP BOV
-210cc injectors (kinda small, I've got bigger ones sitting in my garage, but no time to install & tune)
-AEM FPR
-A'pexi SAFC II
-2.5" Turbo back exhaust
-H&R springs, 1.5" drop
-HSR Racing wheels 15x6 5 spoke flat black

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff, but that'll do for now. Now for the pictures!

ive seen pics of a yellow one done like that, basically turning the mirage into an evo. They even had the AWD conversion. Nice rid

except the yellow one was a real ugly older mirage with the EVO III swap and AWD. I am not sure if the AWD is easy for these ones

in a 5th gen.......it's possible, but you better have some pretty deep pockets and a wrecked evo VII or VIII as a donor car. On a 4th Gen Mirage/Summit it's much easier, there are actually a couple guys here in the states that have done a full Evo III or IV swap including the AWD. One guy in Texas (I think that's where he's from anyway) went all out and converted his to RHD.
