It was converted to front wheel drive at 425 whp but now its time to make it AWD. does anyone know what parts and from what car and where i can get at. I seen the AWD conversion for the mirage i just dont know where to get the parts and sizes of the rear and so on. PLEASE HELP

Search, search, and search some more! You will have to research the heck out of this one!

With that said, my buddy has a 1995 Mirage converted into an Evo3, and it is hella awesome! RHD and everything!

Yeah, I saw that mirage/evo swap on the wall at AMS in gaithersburg. It was in a car mag some time ago. Good luck with your adventure. Contact AMS via PM. They have an Open HOuse/BBQ on 9/22.

From what I saw on the Evo V at Englishtown, everything looked to be just about the same as the Evo VIII rear end. You'll have to source down an Evo IV-VI tcase and driveshaft.

Check out the Mirage Forums. TONS of info on there. The car no longer belongs to the original owner.

The drivetrain used was all EVO 4-6 parts seeing as though 5g Mirage and EVO 4-6 are "virutally" the same car. You haveing a 5g coupe you probably know this

Sign on the Mirage Forums and search the user name AdamJ39. He is the original builder. MANY MANY threads on that specific car and his build. I was actually trying to buy that car earlier this spring but the second owner wouldn't let it go

This is off topic, but I'm usually all about chicks on cars. This one has far too many clothes on and is therefore blocking too much of the car. Tell her to move!

I unfortunately can't answer your question, but the other posts seem to be leading you in the right direction. Good luck and I applaud your attempts. Please post up some pics when she's done.
