Up for sale is my 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage LS. It was my first car and I loved driving it. In 2006 was gonna do an auto to manual conversion on it and continue use it as a daily driver, but have since lost interest in it. Most of the necessary parts I already have, including the next-to-impossible-to-find hydraulic clutch/brake pedals. The rest of what's needed is locally available for cheap. And if you're local, I'll hit the yards and help you pull parts too. Location is Lancaster, Ohio. Asking $700, please reply to thread or text/call (740) 407-2974.
Now it's just in the way and I need it gone
The good:
1.8L, needs a head gasket but runs well and starts effortlessly
166k miles
A/C is reasonably cold
Tires only have 5000 miles on them
zero accidents, clear title in hand
vin is JA3AA31C4SU043407
the bad:
Palm-sized dent in driver's side behind door
completely dead automatic transmission, courtesy of the classic rebuild scam
Rust spots on hood thanks to a cockbag vandal
Crack in windshield, due to the scam transmission rebuild shop
OE tachometer is kaput
extra parts:
J-Spec Mirage Asti H4 headlights, turn signals and taillights (already on car)
Sydney Specialty Vehicles Evolution IV front bumper ($1000+ to find elsewhere) with 7" fogs
OE Fog switch x3, one installed in car, not wired yet
J-Spec Fog switch
J-Spec Evo 1 gauge cluster
US-spec no-tach cluster
Original US-spec headlights, turn signals and 2 pairs of taillights
Original front bumper
OE Mirage 1.8L hydraulic clutch and brake pedals (insane to find these!!!)
Shifter
Starter
Clutch Master & Slave Cylinders & ALL lines
OE Mirage flywheel
Shifter cables
Japanese Mirage Owners Manual
Dealer Parts catalog software for USA, Europe (LHD & RHD) and Japan, including interchange information. Bet you never knew these cars had optional heated seats in japan. Or that you could get the switch and heater parts from a US-spec Montero Sport.
Factory Service Manuals for USA and Europe (RHD & LHD)
Here's what it needs for the swap, with a local source for convenience:
Clutch (autozone, $100)
Transmission (junkyard, $150)
Transmission Mount (autozone, $60)
These cars share 90% of their framework, interior, exterior and drivetrain with the Evo 1-3. The sedan models are essentially a stripped down LHD Evo 1-3, with the coupes being different on bodywork and the wheelbase 51mm shorter. But with the drivetrain and suspension between coupe and sedan being identical, that 51mm is all in the rear prop shaft. I've compiled a parts list for going Evo with it too, with most of thje 'unspoken' parts being available through Ricart's parts department. For example, the rear floorpan for an AWD hatch is MR208886.
Here's a vid of the car, demonstrating how to wire the Evo 1's tachometer. Will get more later
