starting to come together!
nice work. Are you going to do anything about it sitting crooked though?
Looks like it still needs the cross member to hold the other 2 engine mounts put in, that should straighten it up a little.
Also remove that black pipe on the right in the last pic and use a full sized either 2.5" or 3", that's a huge power loss right there.
wow nice job, i cant wait to see the finished product.
Was it out of an auto originally ?
no it was from a 5spd, my mirage on the other hand was a auto.
Just AMAZING!!! Epic thread , im looking forward to see you on MOD in Normal IL at september! Gratz on Ride!
Cant wait to see it finished!
^ Ill have to look into it i have the AWD trans still that came with it so it may have been swapped from auto to manual in japan before it was exported.
Anyways
Little more done.

*hood was closed all the way in this pics fully latched and plenty of clearance i just now have to get used to the engine sitting crooked
what were you exactly rubbing on before you had to adjust the engine for the hood to close?
^ Upper Turbo Y Pipe
we originally raised the engine so it was level and this cause the hood to not close, the evo hood is really different from the mirage.
cant you fabricate piping for the intercooler so it doesnt sit on top of the engine cover? so atleast that way the motor is level. Wont you have oil pick up issues if the engine was crooked?
maybe run the piping like this

no not really its only off by about 2 degrees but yea i can make custom piping but im unemployed :P
ah. yeah that definitely makes it more difficult. lol
Well, you are doing phenomenal with the car and cant wait til you start her up.
