JDMFTW · 09-01-2009, 11:19 PM

Names Joe AKA J-D, Live in Romulus Michigan had a 91 MR2 NA that I virtually restored back in 2006/07

Another member on here owns it now (Version135b), I plan on looking for another MK2 here in the upcoming months. from a more southern state.

I currently have a 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage that im in the process of converting it to a full Evolution 4.5.

MRH · 09-02-2009, 12:36 PM

haha, dude, after we ended up having the same exhaust! it sounds pretty nice!

JDMFTW · 09-02-2009, 12:40 PM

^ I Loved it, the best thing is i only paid 120$ for that HKS exhaust. I have a HKS super Dragger on my mirage aswell.

MRH · 09-02-2009, 12:46 PM

sick, I am about to get the rest of the exhaust(headers/b) leading up to the muffler. should sound a bit better.

JDMFTW · 09-02-2009, 05:28 PM

Pictures of the Evo LOL AKA Mirage

When i got it back in October of 07

All riced LOL I then de-riced the interior and changed out the intercooler pping and cleaned up the horrible engine bay as much as possible, i then developed a series of problems that rendered the car un drivable for over a year my only solution was to convert it to RHD.

Sneak peak

This is what it looks like currently, Oh and most people swap firewalls to do this conversion but car was rusted to bad in the front. so we cut the car in half,

if you want me to post those pictures i can too, just wanted to keep the pictures to a minimum considering this is a MR2 board and not a mirage/lancer board lol.

mr3 · 09-02-2009, 08:14 PM

Pics of it cut in half!

JDMFTW · 09-02-2009, 09:05 PM

^ If you say so.....

Sliding the rocker into the clip 13-1/2 inches to be exact.

Rolling out of the garage in one piece hasn't since march, this picture is only a couple weeks old.

Enjoy

mr3 · 09-02-2009, 09:10 PM
