99 Mirage to Evo 5

Amoung the car scene in Montreal, Canada,
ive seen too many Subarus, 240sx, and nothing really one of a kind. I wanted to be unique and boy did i chose wisely. I wanted to bring my childhood dream car into life. I wanted the Evo 5 from Gran Turismo








So what I did is I bought this car for $1400 bucks. i was 20. when i first got the car... most of my friends and family thought the worst of the car, UGLY, P.O.S, "why the hell would you even buy that"...they clearly didn't understand the potential it possessed.

I had to buy this car under my parents noses, and when i trailerd it to the house, they saw it and started freaking out, they demanded me to sell it because it looked "bad" in front of our house.... i kept telling them to just trust me, and after about 1 month of fighting, my dad finally decided to say FINE.


I did little rust improvements on the car. Now it wont rust faster.












I bought all the JDM evo 5 OEM parts from a guy in New York...thats right, i went across the border of canada to get japanese parts. This was probably the only time that my dad was really the most epic person to help me get there. Parts at home. Installed them...here is a sample of what is in my room and going to be installed soon









All the Evo part that i have is the bumper, hood, fenders, trunk with wing, sterring wheel. I hope too keep moving forward into looking into the 4g63 swap, or other engine.. reaction will i have

My main vision of what it should look like in 1 year with all the parts once installed is this picture below





Ill keep you updated with the mod

Why don't you just import an EVO V??
It's going to be 15 years old next year and will be legal to import into Canada

Yeah, thats my dad`s old silver van btw on the picture on top. using it only for storage lolll ... I thank every one for the encouragement.

I bought a JDM plate to make people understand that its the same Mirage that Evolved So my first mod are the OEM evo 5 Headlights








I took the Jdm plate off just in case it would get in the way while i remove the front grill and the headlights.




It went all well. It was very close to touching the hood... I then decided to put the evo 5 hood to clear the gap between. Looked really agressive now.








I put some stickers for fun JDM REPRESENT!!!





More mods to come stayed tuned
