Pics of My Ride (Many PICs)
My first post here, ^^
Where I live, the EVO 8 cost about $60,000 new, and used ones are impossible to find since only 60 was brought in. I'm definately not paying that price like my friend Derek888 did. So, I went out and bought myself the closest thing I can find. It's a CA4A Satria GLXi, also called a Mirage, or Proton A-go-go. Basically, when the car is stock, it's FWD, comes with a embarrassing motor, nothing desirable. Now, the car is modded with a EVO 7 4G63 motor, AWD, and a mod list below. The chassis had a lot of custom work done to fit the complete EVO drivetrain, so I figured I should post it here.
Spot Welded Chassis with custom EVO rear subframe and AWD
WRC Car Chassis Reinforcement plates welded on
EVO 7 Motor, tranny, wiring.
EVO 6.5 RS Front and Rear Suspension
EVO 7 Rims and Tires
Brembo 4 piston Front calipers and 2 piston Rear Calipers
Bilstein 6 way adjustable shocks
Custon ABS Brake system
VTTR Brake Pad
Modified Center driveshaft
Front and Rear EVO 6 seats and steering wheel
Complete custom suede interior on Dash, roof, doors, panels, etc.
Power 750cc Injectors X4
Tomei Fuel Pump
Apexi Power FC
WRC Custom Titanium blade turbo
WRC Custom Missfire Tubing
HKS Air-Filter with Ralliart pipings
Alex Radiator
Stock EVO intercooler
HKS front pipe
Custom mid-rear exhaust
Tomei 1.5kg/mm blow off
Ralliart low temperature Water Thermostat
Blitz Dual SBC
Greddy 60mm Boost gauge
Greddy 50mm Oil Pressure gauge
Greddy 50mm Oil Temp gauge
Greddy 50mm Water Temp gauge
Greddy turbo timer
APP upper and lower radiator hose
Cusco Intercooler Water Spray
Billion 14" fan
Ralliart Twin Plate Clutch
Alex Hood
Cruise EVO Front Bumper
Cruise EVO Side Skirts
Cruise EVO Front Fenders
Cruise EVO Rear Over Fenders
Custom Rear Lower Bumper
Alex 3D Carbon Wing (YUK!! I know it's ugly, but car came with this and will be taken off soon)
Lamborghini Diablo Red paint (Too flashy, but car came with it, but hells, my daily driver is a purple benz)
Well, I'm planning to upgrade the intercooler and do a 2.4 stroker fully built/GT35R combination later, as I'm broke now with 2 projects cars and a daily driver. (My other project car is coming from USA soon, I have a R34 RB26DETT sitting here waiting for it to arrive!
)
What you guys think about this ride?

Well, so far the previous owner spend about $60,000 on modifications alone, the car was his company show car but the store closed down. Actually, this car stock is only worth about $5000 here... lol !! I just purchased the car for a little over $20k. This is the only mirage that I know of with complete EVO drivetrain, suspension. Other ones don't have the full EVO suspension work. In Taiwan, gas sucks here, and horsepower ratings are hurt badly. This car was originally intended for mountain road racing. In order to change to a drag car, most likely I'll need to run alky/gas to ensure I have clean fuel in the future. I'm planning to run Derek888 when he get his U.S. spec EVO 8 tuned. He have a full built race head built by my friend, intercooler, and complete exhaust. With roughly 1300KG weight on my car and a custom titanium turbo, I know I'll win. But knowing how rich that guy is, he'll do 2.4 and GT35R soon and I'll have to gather up some cash soon to do the stroker 2.4/ GT35R in the near future. Hopefully my lighter chassis will let me have an advantage.
