That was a German Ralliart tuned Mirage. You can do a search to find that in the forum since I can remember where the thread is.

That was a previous gen Mirage Colt Hatchback model with the AWD and 4G63 motors...

i'm not sure about the mirage but the was a european application of the 4g63t in the eclipse, that was also 4wd. the car was sold that way. it came with about 220 hp. i think they called it the cyclone engine. it also had other applications in stock galants, in europe as well i think.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Eclipse was sold only in the US.

I thought the US GSX had 220bhp?

Nevermind, no need to be sorry.

I specifically remember the car that Dru_555 mentioned (at least I think that's the one) is a FWD Mirage Colt. The Ralliart German division put the AWD drivetrain (with tons of body modifications) and the 4G63 turbo engine in it. However, that was the EVO IV-VII 4G63.

The Cyclone 4G63 was the EVO I-III version, which the Cyclone system was NOT available in the US DSM and Galant.

If you have the entire Ralliart German devision backing you up, nothing is impossible
