Post subject:  Natedog's 89 Mirage Turbo
Some of you remember me selling off my 84 GTS project, to get a Black c53a shell. Some probably remember it being sold off also... Maybe I'm a little crazy, or maybe I know when its time to upgrade!

I bought Underdog's Mirage. I haven't said anything about it, because I wanted it to be perfect before I did. Anyway It's only an external waste gate away from where I want it, so here she is!

This is the car that made me buy my Colt. Someday mine will be that clean on the outside (probably 2 years from now when I can afford a $3k paintjob).

Vey nice! 8) And KUDOS to Underdog(and Gail) for keeping it as nice as they did and keeping a lot of us on the edge of our seats waiting for their next mods or kills. Yo've got a great car with a lot of history.

Great grab on that one. By far one of the cleanest original turbo models on the road. Take care of that one.

No Dyno numbers yet. I'm planning on getting the external waste gate on then making baseline run. After that I will probably end up doing water injection. :D

The trans is stock, but it has an SBR LSD insert in it.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I almost feel ashamed that I put a "stock" engine back into this car...

I love that car, it is probably the first c53 that I read up on before buying mine.

Probably won't take it to the track until he knows it's tuned.
