Don't worry, I'll have the flares on soon enough.
Moving on, I solved my vibration issue. Turns out the balance shafts were not synced properly. However now the car's exhaust is sounding REALLY loud by the manifold and I'm getting some decent knock below 1k rpm. Once I get past 1k, the knocking stops.

I opened a thread on here asking questions about an Evo IV conversion some time back (which will probably expire by the time I acquire a Mirage).
I was planning on getting a Mirage next month, so I can convert it to what I call a "Pseudo-Evo IV" starting next year, but I decided not to transfer from my current university, so I'm holding off on getting any cars between next year and 2014.
Please make a thread, if you already don't have one! I want to see!

Past couple hours
I've been reading up as you say "Never-ending Project", and I find myself in the situation, that I want an Evo 5 :3.
I've got my eyes on a 98 Mirage, I've got Evo 8 Mirrors, doors, Trunk and an inter-cooler that have been offered to me as well.
As most of the posts before me, I commend you're determination. I myself being two years out of H.S, wish I would've stumbled upon this those two years ago like yourself
However I hope you don't mine, I'll be using your photos and descriptions as blue prints xD
Keep It UP

Ooh, Evo IV? I need to keep up with you, bud!
I opened a thread on here asking questions about an Evo IV conversion some time back (which will probably expire by the time I acquire a Mirage).

Not much to update on. I figured out the knocking issue, turns out it was due to the balance shafts being out of sync. I also was able to fix my massive exhaust leak, the car is running incredibly quiet now.
However one issue is now just killing me. After doing numerous boost leak tests, the car will not boost past 10psi, even with the wastegate vacuum line disconnected. The actuator arm is on there tight so I doubt it's that. Kind of running out of ideas now.
