That car is everywhere in Puerto Rico with swaps of 2.4 or 3.8 v6
Facts im a puerto rican in georgia and im building one rigth now also a matrix xrs both are rally projects .
Technica... they are sick!! This is basically like a front wheel drive EVO couple. Alot of people don't know early (and some later) Hyundai use Mitsubishi engines (including the EVO motor). Also found in the mid to late 90's Eclipse. Ultimate sleeper!!
@@ngrinshift4383 true I sold mine like 2 months ago it has a 2.4 mivec swap out of ralliart 2006 all motor with 225hp and 200 tq to the wheels it was so light that it was like a 300hp car literally I race with mazdaspeed with Honda's k20 and smoke them really easy is a fun car people tend to underestimate that car for that fact that stock are slow
@@cl587 right now I'm working on my next project. An '02 EP3. I am leaving it bone stock outside even keeping the four lug and working on all engine. Dropping an '06 K24A2 from a TSX-S. In order to keep my four lug I'm sticking with my stock five speed. Short shifter w/steel bushings, stock 15" wheels n'all. Just engine (I'm keeping that as stock as possible too) maybe just headers since the TSX exaust headers interfere with the stock swaybar on the EP, but that's it... stock muffler and all. (Maybe a cat delete) Then I'll focus on suspension Front control arm inner (geometery correction) relocation bushings and camber correction balljoints. Inverted tie rod end links and "delrin" steering rack mount bushing to prevent flex when turning under acceleration. Of course a good set of coilovers but I'm aiming to maintain stock ride height (possibly an inch lower MAX) since the McPherson front suspension doesn't respond well to lowering. Typically front springs "should be" stiffer but on the EP2/3 chassis it's actually backwards and the rear springs will be roughly twice as stiff as the front. It won't understeer more than stock. Another SI has a similar set up and it handles 110 percent on the curves. To use the TSX headers I'd have to use the thinner EM1 front sway bar or no sway bar at all and I am after full stock. Strut bar front/rear and chassis bar across the back window that's it. In the far future I'll strip the interior but that's another chapter. There is a way to install factory OEM Brembo option off an RL but you need to use s2000 rotors and I'm keeping the four lug so it's a no go for me. If I buy a second VTEC head (A8 head) I will try to experiment with the "VTEC LOCK" mod cause it has a NATY NATY sound to it. At that point I would get some custom unequal length headers to get the full effect.
@@ngrinshift4383 that's a good project I'm a honda lover the engine is the best you can't go wrong with the k24a2 I use to have a Rsx Types 2005 a Honda civic Si 2010 and last TSX 2006 and TQ in the k24 is definitely a plus
The legendary Mitsubishi Mirage. I'm a proud owner of this car. It's was my workhorse during years and also today. A very cheap maintenance.
I know exactly how he feels, I decided to modify a 1997 Nissan Maxima, which at first I got laughed at by people in highschool because it was all crappy, crashed, and a bit Rusty, but I ignored them and learned everything I know about cars because of this car. From building it from the bottom up, to racing corvettes and GTR's on the streets this car has never disappointed me. Just follow your dreams, build what you want, add what you like, in the end of the day it's you who's going to drive that car home.
Roman Hernandez hey man I know exactly how you feel. I went from DSMs to Maximas and just fell in love and learned so much from owning both (my first max was a 97 as well) fuck the haters follow ya dreams
Bro it's the same way for me but I started out with a 3G!
Another sleeper project would be mid 90's to early 2000's Galant. JDM offered AWD versions with the EVO drivetrain.
Hello Roman… I Felt Your Pain.. I Am Going Through Same Here In Africa Ghana.. I Am Trying As Much To Modify But I Am Limited To Some Parts Over Here…
Can You Guide Me Modify Mine..
Mine is a 99 Mitsubishi Mirage DE ..1.5L
4- Speed 220,000 mileage, Automatic Transmission ..
I Have Changed Gear Box , Fuel Pump , Fuel Filter , Fuel Injectors , Spark Plugs And It Still Has Slow Acceleration And Sucks More Fuel ..
I Want Mine Like Yours .. What Should I Do Brother.. Kindly Guide Me
Thanks 🙏🏿.
Rock on 💪🏽
Basically a two door Evo 4, that thing looks great
That car is legend in the philippines, and i can still see alot of those cars here
caffiene macaroni no way? Lol. That's cool.
same thing here in Puerto Rico
1.8L stock run fast. P.R.
He's right there are soooo many
yah thats true. my family own a 1997 Lancer sedan. lots of civics here and corolla's
I had one of those in Puerto Rico, I buy it brand new in 2001 was white pearl with sunroof but I decided to give it to my mom she still had the car with 27,000 miles on it the car is like brand new in November is the car Birthday 18 years old
Got a 99 Lancer GSR coupe and its uniqueness strikes me the most. Thumbs up for you!
In Puerto Rico you can find parts like crazyyyyy, i had 2 of them and i regret selling them, the best car i have drove in my entire life!! btw ive driven bmw, mercedes, hondas, nothing as fun as the mirage ls
Primo yo tengo uno y ahora mismo estoy buscando como arreglar el cluster porque prende lo mas nice pero despues de como 5 minutos se apaga el RPM , Speedometer y la temperature gauge y nose porque.
The car is beautiful and the shots were excellent. Kudos to the owner for a job well done and kudos to you for this video!
I love that he enjoys his car no matter what people think. Much love man.
One the the cleanest mirages I've seen built by an everyday person. Much respect...
The car came out beautiful and sounds great. Really nice video 👍👍
i loved my 98 LS coupe, it was my first new car, great chassis, you can feel the EVO in it.
The mirage is the underdog I use to own a few mirages, the last one I had was a maroon red 5 speed Mitsubishi Mirage 1.5 I blew the motor on it, but now I want to buy another mirage .. I currently own a Miata
I love the unique builds, that's why my build is a 90s ford escort lol.
This is awesome man I love these unique builds its tough to find parts for things sometimes but once your able to add to it or find parts its so satisfying keep it up bro
Wish I saw this video back in ‘99 when I bought my ‘98 Mirage. I could have done more in my Mirage. It was tough fixing it. They don’t make anything for it really. Good job on not giving up modifying. I still have my Mirage. It will be 20 years old next year! 👊🏽
if you ever get the chance to check out Puerto Rico, you will be pleased with our car scene. the Mirage (Technica) has always been around and very popular. i had one myself running high 13sec with no turbo or NOS. there are many that are much much faster here. hope you keep it for a while, it does not disappoint.
im looking to modify mine if you have any tips altough im just getting into it and dont know much
Got my license today and my dad gave me a talk and now i have the keys from his mirage seeing that car since a baby and now i have the keys for that car now it’s my car? It makes just want to tear up a little bit lol. Keep it up bro here in Puerto Rico you see a lot of them
Made props on the car. Saw the video thumbnail and at first thought I really had no interest in seeing a video on a Mirage then had a second thought and said why not. Happy I clicked.
Very nice and clean build! I have a Mirage MR with the same skirts front side and rear. I re-painted it my self just recently looks great, and have the 1.8L 16v still in it, absolutely love it! happy to find your build it is very nice and awesome engine swap by the way. Time for a turbo...
This video hit home. I bought my first car when I was 18. It was. 2000 Mirage, I called it my Mitsubeater haha. 275k miles on the engine, I only payed 500 for it and it ran like a charm. I'll admit I abused the 1.8l engine in it, I ran it like it was supposed to rally haha. But even running a thousand miles with almost no oil and neglecting any tune-up, it still ran beautifully a year later. That was until I let a coworker borrow my car (terrible mistake) and he totalled it at 70 MPH. He was fine, my Mitsubeater wasn't... I bought two cars after that, a 2005 Isuzu ascender with 105k miles ($2000) that developed an engine knock within 3 months, and a 2000 Toyota Corolla with 275k miles ($550) with an engine that locked up in a month. At the beginning of this year, I was searching my third vehicle in 4 months. That's when I saw what had to be fate. Posted in my town that day only an hour before I'd seen it, a 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage Coupe LS. 205k miles, manual transmission, and the reliable ol' 1.8l. The kid sold it to me for 600, and when I sat in the driver seat nostalgia brought tears to my eyes. It was indistinguishable from my Mitsubeater. I'll keep my Mirage until I die, I don't care how much I have to put into it. Both Mirages were the best cars I've ever had and can't wait to have the fastest sleeper Mirage in the county 😌
This car is so cool. Takes turbochargers like a champion
I did Auckland to Taupo in 1 hour 39 minutes in a 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage on half a crate of hot beer. Most beautiful car I ever drove
Initial d is such a great show and it pushed me to buy my 1st manual car: A 1997 Subaru Impreza L wagon ( same body as the jdm sti wagon ) and never looked back. I can relate with this guy, love the car everything to your story. Keep the dream alive!
you have unintentionally built my dream car thankyou
Beautiful car!
When I bought myself my first car, it was important to me that, it is a car you won‘t see every day. I know a Mx5 NB is very popular, but it‘s pretty rare here. Since I‘m owning it, I got to knew more people with miatas. But often I see M- division bimmers, porsche‘s or lamborghinis more often that a miata.
I just love a pure car and even more important it should be fun!
nice wish this gen of mirages had more popularity in the car scene
Wow im glad to know i am not the only one that enjoys the mirage, since my dad gave me his from 1998 when i got my license. I am from Puerto Rico and I still see this car used a lot, even if it isnt used for tuning and moding, but i know a few guys that modify their mirages
Dude, Mirages are HUGE in Puerto Rico breaking all kinds of records
Awesome ! I have to show this to my wife. We are just about to pimp our 1996 Mirage coupe. Thanks for the inspiration mate. They are really cool fun cars 👍
Funny he went through all the trouble of sourcing out the bumper from overseas when we got this bumper in Puerto Rico like crazy lol. That and literally anything you need for a Mirage you can get from here because these cars are very popular here and you'll see one everyday.
Beautiful car man!!
Had 1 new in 1998. Just got out of USAF and needed car after the divorce. I put exhaust and piping. Ported and polished throttle body. Lowered and strut bar and one heckuva stereo system in it. But laughed at because it wasn’t a Honda. Now 20 years later I’m looking for a coupe again. This time to improve where I couldn’t then. Hope you still have your ride. Looks great.
I learned to drive stick on a Mirage!
Me too 😅 my first stick a 97 mirage coupe ls
Copping one in 2 weeks as my first car
Love it! Amazing channel!
Thank you. Most people hate these cars. I had this same year. Two door with stock 4cylinder and stick shift. It was the most reliable car I ever drove. Took abuse like a champ. Cost pennies in gas, and was super fun to drive. It felt like a big go cart! Sadly it was wrecked. Thanks again for the video. I'm jealous.
Such a great underdog even the original 4g15 engine sounds nice too
In Puerto Rico we love this car, we use them for drag o stance
I hate when they chop the front and rise the rear xD
I own a '96 Coupe, pero doblo valvula :'(
I remember visiting PR in 02 and these were everywhere! Except PR had the name Technica on it. I was told by some guy "we call it the Puerto Rican Porsche!" I still rarely see PR dudes rocking these in FL, i love it.
THAT WAS AMAZING
I had a 97 coupe for years till a accident... Miss I every day. The worst part about owning one is when someone calls it a Civic!
Same here I had a ls coupe wrecked it racing this 04 Altima beat it 2 times in a row. It was my first manual
THanks for the info! I'm on the site now :)
In Puerto Rico this car is a tecnica i like this car watching this car bring me memory from my childhood wen I used to live in pr love this cars🤙
super clean
I had one. Brand new in '97. ES trim. Green. Slow, but charming lil car.
Just got my hands on a 97 ls coupe I can’t wait to play with it
The video is great nice car modifications and I love GSR!
The problem here is the background music!!!!
Sounds so sad!!!!
I used to own 2 and I modified both great toy man
I have one now and it's pretty fun to drive bad ass video
I love this
there's something about the front that catches me.. might get one of these on tax season lol
I have a 00 mirage de 1.8l I love it but it’s my project currently. It’s problematic but love it. I have had 6 and driven up to 12 cly cars this ones unique
All we have in Puerto Rico ...Great cars,fast and reliable!
Nice car !!!
If you decide to sell it let me know. I sold one fully build with all OEM JDM parts. I am looking for another mirage.
I'll never be able to move on to Mercedes, Lamborghini etc. Saw too many cars as a kid I wanted to mod and this was one of them.
Its cyborg zr face ... Love it!
Cars like these, the late 90s accent hatches, the 80s swifts and champs you can only find them in mass in Puerto Rico, trust me ive looked.
Car is fresh
4:21 depends by the previous owner and if you like it (car), and if you want to continue your own path. Btw. sick mirage, want one.
Great video, props man keep doing what you love no matter what anyone says.
Kereta ni kalau masuk malaysia memang aku beli.. Sumbat engine evo 8 ke evo 9 ke memang mantap ni
My little island Puerto Rico they are every where. We specially look for the Technica wich is the one with the 1.8 engine on it man almost all of them are mod and there are clubs of them in a bunch of places.
Mitsubishi mirage technica is so popular in puerto rico and i have a mirage tech 1997 too and sorry for bad english 😂
What all would 8 need to do this swap in a 97 mirage? Looking for a parts list and what engine harness to run?
we got one in malaysia, but he converted to evo 6.5 TME
Can you please tell me where to get those turn signal lights? Got the same car but the lights are pretty ugly. Thanks!
OH MY GOD..I LOVE HOW PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT PUERTO RICO🇵🇷💞💞💞 WE PUERTORRICANS LOVE THIS CAR
Hey I have a Mirage 1.8L, I'm from Puerto Rico, over here are very popular
I love the sound and look of your car. What is the web site you mentioned ?
mirageforum.net
What engine?
Back in 2000 I had a 1992 Nissan 240sx . I got laughed at by all the kids with integras and civics saying what the hell is that . 5 years later they all wanted my car because drifting became cool and they all wanted to get into the drifting scene.
What exhaust is that
Car sitting my friends Mirage for over two years, I might just ask him for the pink slip.
I'm 16 and looking into getting a first car. Really thinking about getting knee of these. Something about these little things are intriguing. Hopefully i l
can find one near me
Brady Johnson yeah I got one at the start of the year and they are a good first car it’s also something you will wanna mod
In my country this is the rarest car
What city are you in bro
I wonder if people would make a Mitsubishi Evo 8 engine swap to the Mitsubishi Mirage. What a beautiful two door lancer 🚙
i like your message, build what makes you happy, it's your time.
Better than the ones they have now
i have now this car
In Britain mirage coupes are virtually extinct
I relate 🔥
Had the same car in modesto. It keeps you humble. Its a great daily driver.
Mitsu mirage is kinda like the cheap walmart cellphones, they are reliable and they do the job
Thank god been looking for some1 who had a taste for the mirages
Ill be getting an 01 mirage in a couple of weeks. Its running what the 1st performance up grade you guys reccomend?
Suspension! I’ve got two at the moment and find they handle like boats but get some good springs/ coil overs and the car completely changes
faster than my 2019 LE mirage
I like this Mirage!! I agree with you - if you love the car then go ahead & build it!! And I wonder how one could call Mirage lame, it's not even close to lame☝️😌 I'm going to post this to my page!!☝️😊✈️🇯🇵🏁☘️☀️
The good part of this is that in a couple of years (maybe), my mirage will be ready and people will ask me: "Is that a 3 door evo?? How did you get it?"
Is it finished yet?
3 years later!

Anyone needing parts or help finding parts just let me know over here in Puerto Rico we find them easy. I have one my self and would not let go of it never it's a really reliable car
If you're in Puerto Rico do you know anybody who could tune a 2004 Mitsubishi lancer rallyard 2.4 4G69????
Here in the United States it is very very hard to find someone that will tune the stock ECU there are lots of tuners they tune Hondas Acuras BMWs Audi's American muscle Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru STI but nobody tuned ralliarts 😢
I have cold air intake 4-1 header 2.5 inch full exhaust ported and polished intake manifold and bigger 3.8 eclipse throttle body it is my daily driver I would like to get it tuned........ And I know lots of people down there build 4g69
That was my first car I still love it to this day it was super clean too bad the tranny went out didn’t have money to fix it grandma was bugging me to get it out the driveway junked it a week later I got a job regret it to this day
I had one with the 1.5, I should have swapped it.
I have an 00 DE mirage it’s the best shitbox I’ve ever had
In my country its called mitsubishi lancer GSR
Tiga pinas ka hehehe
I had a ‘98 Mirage de coupe. It was great.
Now I’m gathering parts for a ‘64 Chevy Corvair.
Non è mai stata prodotta per il mercato Italiano solo la Colt GTI e la Eclipse
So what your telling me is..... That I need to swap the 4g15.... Huh damn it I love that shitty motor
