This itch of yours. I think it's contagious. You've been spending too much time with the EvoCoupe boys without contraception.
Check with your doctor, but I think it's a form of STD called "AWD-conversion-itis".
PS I love where there is going and also love what seems to be an RVF/VRF 400....

I don't know about neat and tidy, but it's getting there. Lol evopwr, I always try to avoid Mikey for that very reason lol. It's coming along, over all for 4.5 months it's not a bad hack job.
Also it is an RVF400 in the background, it's been a great commuter.

Bumping this back up, not a great deal has been happening. Driven it a bit, slowly ironing a few bugs out and making small cosmetic changes.
Like suspension, standard Mirage springs and shocks are a great height, but not exactly stiff enough for the weight transfer. So std E4 fronts have been fitted and Std CC gsr will be fitted to the rear. If a E2/3 rear sway bar can be sourced I think we'll be in the ball park for a reasonable handling rig, but nothing excessive.
Over all atm, it's driving like a factory car, and that's the main goal. Quiet and easy to drive.

None, just been cruising it, and making sure it's mechanically sound before leaning to heavily on it

Yeah Leadfoot, the reason why I'm keen on an E2/3 rear sway bar is because it's a touch smaller than the after market offerings. The Mirage from my guestimate will be a touch lighter over the rear end and a shorter wheel base than an early evo. So it shouldn't need to be quite as aggressive in the sway bar.

Thanks mate, but I already have a GSR sway bar fitted, and I really think it's a bit under spec.
