We bought our "fixer upper" house back in 08 and it all but killed my extra funds for fun stuff. But hey, fast forward to 2017 and the house is 80% updated and we've been paying an extra $100 a month so it'll be paid for in the next year or so. I think I'd make a new frame rail mount for that trans maybe using a slightly smaller insert. This will give you more room. Just a thought. |

Since I have been looking at houses I wished I had bought something two years ago. But I'm still saving trying to get a big down payment so I'll still have money for toys and to go racing. Frame rail mount is actually done, just taking my time with the updates, didn't really want to dump everything at once lol. |

Skirts finish the car off nicely. I've also owned a few 5th gen Mirages too. They are awesome cars and make great DD's. I even had a 97 LS manual sedan 7-8 years ago. My daughter drives a 98 DE sedan now. I would love to do an Evo 4 clone but you're right, the coupes can be made to look pretty awesome too. Some people have done the 3g eclipse 2.4 swap, the Mirage trans swaps over to the Eclipse bell housing. Then the DOHC heads from the early 2000's optimas and sonatas fit the 4G64 for a DOHC swap. I shouldn't have told you that, like you need something else to work on. One guy in PR did the 3.8 mivec V6 from the 4th gen eclipse too. |

Yeah I've always wanted an Evo 4-6 but I really didn't want to put that much time and money into a something I was supposed to be daily driving lol. I have seen all the swaps, only thing that really caught my interest is the 3.8 mivec. Would be super fun to dd with that engine in it, been trying to avoid looking up how its done. |

Right before we bought the 15 Mirage we drove an 06 Eclipse GT with the 6 speed. Oh my God, for a stock car that thing was quick. Had it not been from Maryland and had a little rust underneath it would be in the driveway right now. It was red and I don't even like red cars but I was willing to look past that because of the mileage and the manual trans. I could only imagine that same drivetrain in a 5th gen Mirage. |

I like this update! VERY nice work on the trans mount. I think I follow the guy who made that carbon fiber roof on Instagram. Phydiux or something. I tried to get him to make me one but no response Repost the picture of the timing belt side mount - the picture isn't showing up properly. Keep up the motivation and I'll be looking forward to your next update! |

Yeah Warren and Scott (phydiux) made all the car stuff, I have talked to them about making more but they would be pretty expensive and they don't really want to make more, its a ton of work.
