FS: 1997 Mirage LS 4-door 5spd w/EVO IV body kit

**SpecV_Scott** · 10-31-2005, 06:13 PM

1997 Mitsubishi Mirage LS 4-door 5speed with EVO IV replica body kit. It's got approx 150K on the odometer, and runs like a champ. No mechanical problems. Everything works. Timing belt was replaced at 115K. A/C was replaced a year ago, and totally recharged a couple months ago (blows ice cold). This car has taken home a trophy in ever show we've taken it to, including both a 2nd and a 3rd place trophy at the NOPI Nats. The exhaust is a little loud, but it's nothing a resonator won't fix. I'd like $4000 OBO for the car, with everything listed below. I know it's more than KBB for the car, but the amount of work done to the car more than justifies it. car is located in Augusta, about 2hrs from ATL. Please PM if interested.

Specs:
VIN: JA3AY36C2VU022144
1.8L SOHC 16V engine
5speed manual tranny
Power locks/windows/steering/brakes
sunroof (extremely rare for a Mirage)

Mods:

Performance:
Intake
Full exhaust with racecat
Eibach springs
KYB GR-2 shocks
REV 17x7" Superlight rims (16lbs each)
BRAND NEW 215/40-17 tires
Front and rear upper strut bars
Front and rear lower tie bars
short shifter
Autometer 5" tach w/shiftlight

Looks:
Full EVO IV body kit (front bumper, side skirts, rear lip, hood, wing)
Lexus IS300 Gunmetal paint
angel eye headlights
PIAA 7" rally fog lights (too bright to use on the street!)
smoked corners
Australian (AUDM!!) side marker lights
35% tint (I think, whatever is the legal limit in MD)
RAZO shift knob and pedals
carbon fiber dash overlay
tons of neon lights and strobes

Sound:
JVC CD head unit
MTX Thunder 1000D amp
2 Diamond Audio 12" titanium woofers
2 farad cap w/voltmeter
Pioneer components up front
Pioneer 6.5's in the rear
Viper alarm

I'm probably forgetting some things, too. I'll get more details later.

Good news:
Installed lower H-brace, and nwe front brake pads.

The bad news:
The front bumper is a little banged up, BUT I HAVE A BRAND NEW EVO IV BUMPER, in the box, ready to paint and install, which I will include with the car. The car also needs an alignment, but I will probably also get that done, too.

Any trades?

**SpecV_Scott** · 10-31-2005, 07:19 PM

Nothing off the top of my head. I would really just prefer to have the money to pay bills.

**Tank** · 10-31-2005, 07:56 PM

**HatchMan** · 10-31-2005, 08:34 PM

That's because as far as the exterior goes, it's almost identical to an EVO. The only thing the real EVO has that mine doesn't is the indented trunk (that has a couple extra reflectors in it). Otherwise, it's the spittin image of an EVO.

**bigjussin** · 10-31-2005, 10:01 PM

thats cool....pm me with bottom dollar cash price

**Nismo** · 10-31-2005, 11:50 PM

**cttdid666** · 11-01-2005, 08:40 PM

very nice like the kit

**Humphrizzle** · 11-01-2005, 08:49 PM

usually never like those but i do like yours. you have done a great job.

good luck with sale.

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-01-2005, 09:50 PM

Thanks for all the compliments! I just put the new brake pads in today. I also installed the lower H-brace (like a lower tie bar, but it bolts to 4 points, instead of only 2). The car feel VERY solid now. Handling and turn-in are even better. Combined with the GR2s, Eibach springs, and the brand new 215-width tires, the car is handling AWESOME right now.

Also, as you probably noticed from the pics, the box in the trunk is HUGE. It pretty much takes up the whole trunk. So that should give you some idea of how it SOUNDS. This thing really bumps.

**Humphrizzle** · 11-01-2005, 09:57 PM

you said it has a short shifter?

why is it so long? my accord has shorter shifter than that

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-01-2005, 10:05 PM

The THROW has been shortened, not the actual height. Throw was reduced by like 50%. Since it's not physically shorter, the shifter is still in a very ergonomic location. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've seen a short shifter for Mirages that physically lowers the location of the shift knob.

**bigjussin** · 11-02-2005, 01:41 PM

its a dope car!

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-03-2005, 05:14 PM

Price is OBO. I'd also be willing to take out the subs and amp to lower the price a little.

**cttdid666** · 11-03-2005, 07:12 PM

how much lower??

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-04-2005, 10:25 AM

I think if I took the subs and amp out, I'd knock off $500 from the price.

**Humphrizzle** · 11-04-2005, 11:04 AM

just hack the shifter and lower it about 2 inches by rethreading it with tap&die set.

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-07-2005, 10:10 PM

Ok, $3500 without the subs and amp!

**lsxtreme** · 11-08-2005, 09:08 PM

hey got a pictures of engine bay.. lmk

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-08-2005, 11:00 PM

If I can't find one, I'll take a pic tomorrow during the day. It basically looks stock, with a short ram intake, and a gunmetal-painted valvecover. Nothing ricey, and no random wires all over the place. It looks really clean.

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-18-2005, 12:10 AM

bump before it goes on Ebay

**SpecV_Scott** · 11-21-2005, 08:57 PM

**SpecV_Scott** · 12-07-2005, 01:21 PM

I will also consider trades...maybe a hatchback (Civic hatch, Integra, 200SX, 240SX (S14 or an immaculate S13), etc).

**unc25** · 12-07-2005, 02:54 PM

I would be willing to trade you a 93 integra Rs with 183k and several new parts along with a set of springs and another set of tailights plus some cash if you were interested in a trade.

Very nice Mirage.

Let me know.

**DUMAS3** · 12-17-2005, 07:15 PM

**livnthedream** · 12-18-2005, 01:24 AM

**DUMAS3** · 12-18-2005, 07:46 AM

Is the car already sold?? If not I sent you a PM call me because I would really like to see the car.

**SpecV_Scott** · 12-18-2005, 08:16 AM

I'm in the process of trading the car. If that falls through, I will PM you. Thanks for your interest.

**Soloboy** · 01-04-2006, 06:42 PM

**SpecV_Scott** · 03-17-2006, 03:38 PM
