oooh snap... Welcome to SM! I'll probably end up there by the time the season starts (probably swap turbos by then)... My buddy Andy will be in SM with his WRX (2.5 Block, Evo3 16g, etc), and of course... The Baltrucki Brothers...

 

[TurboMirage]

indeed. i wont be in it to win it, but just have a good time. not really feeling the whole spend a shit ton on the car and break it often thing

 

[ScrapinSi]

Yeah... I wanna just leave it alone but i think my turbo is on its way out... I'm hoping I can just get my coilovers done, then throw them on, and just drive the car this year... Dont spend money on it... Just drive it, race it, and enjoy it.

Hurry up and get everything on! I want to see the final product!

Honestly, your build-up of the Mirage got me interested in building one myself as a autocross car. When I was working at UPS one of my co-workers had one. It looked light, and decent...pretty much like a Civic. Didn't really think of attempting to mess with one until seeing your car.
