the wifes (Ali's) new car 89 mirage turbo - Page 2

TkrPerformance · 05-28-2009

worked on it some more today. I put on the 90 turbo tranny with the p.grip I put in it years ago for James. act 2100 p.p. new disk from Craig. act fly wheel. I moved the radiator mounts on the car so I can run a honda 1/2 size in the car. Put the engine in I got all the mounts for the mirage but the front roll stop mount so I used the one from the 90 eclipse and welded on some flat steel to make it work. I started to hook every thing up on the car. I also cut the engine mount off and the most of the power steering bracket to clean it up a little bit.

dad and I worked on it most of the day today. we got everything hooked up. picked up a starter from Craig. Came to find out the fly that I got with it was a act awd fly wheel so the tranny came back out. took us all of 20mins to pull it all back out and get the clutch and fly off. I

the oem n/t down pipe is 2.25. welded on a 2.5 pipe then steped to 3in to meet up with the 3in flex in the down pipe.

as it sits now all back apart no tranny in it

The car is now on the road for the first time in years.
Picked up a 90 oil cooler set up from greasemonkey thurs night. Worked on it till 1130 at night got it running this time with out any oil or coolant leaks. Also got the oil and volt gauges in still have to get a boost gauge to match. They are classic chrome autometer gauges I had laying around. Also picke up ass-hanson's jenson flip out dvd deck for the car and got that in and working.
Also hit up upullit on thurs after noon looking for a housing nothing there but picked up a 5g miage arm rest for the car it fits nice on the 3g center concel.

Only one problem with it right now is the the front pass brake is still draging. Going to look at it in the morring, but I do have a 5lug swap coming for the car,gsx 2 piston front brakes and a set of 3g eclipse (2g gsx style) rims for it now

Constant_Project21 · 06-13-2009

TkrPerformance · 06-13-2009

Constant_Project21 · 06-13-2009

**Halon** · 06-13-2009

Good job dude!

**scheides** · 06-13-2009

wootski!

TkrPerformance · 06-13-2009

It drives really well also. This is the 2nd day it has been driven to work. The pass front calaper is bad I greesed it all up and it still is hanging up. So I will have to paint the 17's and swap it to 5lug soon as I get tires,rotors and pads for the front 2 piston brakes

**asshanson** · 06-13-2009

Looks nice.

TkrPerformance · 06-22-2009

got some parts for it at back to the 50's this weekend

Found the best deal ever for horns for the car got a set for the evo,talon,and hatch. They are hella super tone horns the 118db ones that sell for 55.00 a set. I got them all new for 6.00 a set the guy had now clue what they were.

Polished s.s. coolant over flow tank for 35.00. Got it for the hatch back to get rid of the crappy oem plastic one. Kevin also picked the same one up.

Ali found a really cool hot rod style shift knob for the hatch new with the adaptor so it would screw right on for 26.00. it is made by gennie shifter
