Hello from the US

[Quick92RS]

I'm from the United States and am looking to build an Evo 5 clone from a USDM Mirage. I'll probably be on here quite a bit looking for parts as the Evo wasn't sold here until 2003. I plan on building the car with all OEM parts as well. I run a small shop and I plan on having this as a shop demo car.

Hi and welcome mate.

I plan on taking pictures all the way through the build and taking a few videos. I'll be posting up a build thread once i start getting everything going. One question I do have, is anyone aware of a company that makes seat brackets to ft aftermarket seats? I'm not sure I want to run with stock Evo V/VI seats in my car but I'm having trouble finding brackets. I can make my own but it would be nice not to have to.

Well I found my car. Picked up a 1.5 auto mirage for $300 the other day. The owners said it didn't run. A quick look under the hood showed that the alternator tensioner was missing and no tension was on the belt (not that I told them any of this). I towed it back to my shop, grabbed a tensioner out of my box of spare parts, jump started it, and it runs beautifully.

Yea i'm actually looking forward to this one. The next one will be used for SCCA rallycross. What it was meant for.

I know all the local junk car buyers. They all know if they find any DSM's or Mirage's to scrap to call me first.
