PaulO's 5G 4G64 DOHC Mirage LS Coupe
Hello
I'm coming from Mirage Forums (same username)
just want to introduce myself, ask some questions, show my car.
COPY PASTE FROM MY THREAD, 6-7 months ago
first of all my car is a 1997 Mirage LS coupe.
originally came with a 1.8 (g93)
second owner attempted a g69 swap. didn't go as planned. I received it. Got sidetracked with my other Mirage and this nice coupe sat for over a year. Just waiting.

had originally picked up a 64 and kia head for my sedan, but I decided my coupe really needed it. It had been sitting far too long and I wasn't about to give up on it.
here is a shot of the engine
unfortunately it doesn't look as nice as the first two shots. like I said, car sat for over a year, an the sun took it's toll on my paint, ouch. my poor clear coat. :(
plus had my hood run over by a friend when doing the 64 swap, he didn't see it in my yard. fail.
had the car running ok for a few weeks now, back in progress to bringing it back to it's original state. It will get there.
current mod list (if you can call it that?) :lol:
-g64 block with a Kia DOHC Head. All oem spec pieces (ballin' on a budget)
freshly rebuilt, new seals and gaskets, ACL race bearings and ARP Studs, balance shaft delete.
-Headers to a custom 2.5 DP. plan to have the rest of my exhaust done after the holidays.
-Evo 8 IM, fuel rail and 7G galant 275cc injectors. with a 2G DSM 60mm TB (same IACV plug as the Mirage, and matches the evo Mani)
-Updated to the 501 MAF
currently still running on a untuned 1.8 ECU atm.
