Nice work, it's a great starting point and a very reliable car, Is it the 1.8i (4g93) or the 1.5 (4g15)?

 

What are your plans for it?

[poisonous10]

its got the 4G15, im planning to eventually build it but for now im only on my red p's so it will be a daily driver for the time being

 

i had a 2003 mirage before it and absolutely loved it

[jack be nimble]

Id go a cai straight away. Into the oem airbox from one of those fog light holes.

Looks pretty neat

[jack be nimble]

And welcome.

[poisonous10]

thanks man, the paint isnt the best but wanting to change it from white to the nares blue, i love that colour on these cars

[evo-gsr]

Beast.

[romeo]

welcome! best mod to do would be brake upgrade. funny enough ill have evo 3 brakes up for sale soon

[poisonous10]

im looking to do a major service on it after the next week or so, how much would you want for them and would they fit directly on?

[romeo]

from memory they should fit without hassle and not sure on price but have someone already interested.

Save your money up for an evo 4-6 front cut. Then you can drop 4g63t straight in. Get evo box modded with an lsd and altered to fwd and use all the other bits off the front cut and youll have a weapon that changes lanes by itself when it comes on boost

[evo-gsr]

What he said ^

[poisonous10]

well if that were to happen it wouldnt be for a while, again im only on my red p's atm

[Adrian]

Thats why i made the suggestion gives you plenty of time to save. Plus everything about the design of the 4g15 makes power modifications pointless. It was designed to run on the smell of an oily rag and keep running with very basic maintenance.you would spend thousands to get even 40-50hp increase. Problem with conversions is that with the ce lancers and mirages the engine was turned around from the previous generation platform therefore making a 93t conversion needing a donor ce gsr motor etc and those things were never sold here. Satria gti dohc 93 and aus spec cc gsr motor is around the wrong way for you. 4g92 mivec comversion would be sweet but good luck finding a donor those things are as rare as rocking horse shit. Ive built two of these in the past one with a 4g63t conversion so if you have any questions fire away

[evo-gsr]

Or...drop an FTO motor in....so much fun.

[poisonous10]

it could happen eventually, btw does anyone know how to take the crappy stock steering wheels out?

[Adrian]

Yeah fto mivec v6 goes well and drops straight in. For steering wheel. Pull off the centre of the wheel. Youll need yo get something under the edge of it( preferably trim removal tool) or if you dont cate much for scratching it a screw driver will do. Once you remove the centre (horn button)you will see the large nut that you will need to remove

[Ian91]

But don't undo the nut all the way, leave it on a few threads and pull and jiggle the wheel so it comes off the spline and doesn't hit you in the face.

[Adrian]

Also take it off with the wheel straight so ots easier to line your new boss kit up on the spline

[poisonous10]

yea i know about all the other technical points about taking it off, i just needed to know how to get the centre out to get to the spline nut
