FS: Evo5 AWD converted 97 Mirage Sedan

[3bar_dc2]

I've decided to put my Evo 5 conversion up for sale. It's a 97 and I'm unsure of mileage at the moment but I think it's around 140k-ish. I'll have to check the title when I get home from work. The reason for the sale is because I snapped a rod with the 6262 turbo setup at 31psi on e85 and put a hole in the block. The sale of the car will come with another assembled Evo 8 shortblock that just needs to be swapped in. I'm guessing the head is fine since the spark plugs all came out without any issues, but not 100%.

The car will need the included evo8 short block installed and a replacement turbo setup. The 6262 setup has been sold. A stock Evo 8 turbo, manifold and o2 housing could be purchased for under $300. Otherwise, everything else stays and is sold as is. I converted the OEM Evo 5 harness for LHD use, removed the ABS and AYC wiring, and converted the harness for non-digital AC control (like the Evo 5 RS), and to use an Evo 8 ecu. Also added wires for the map sensor so the car is converted to speed density.

VIN: JA3AY26A7VU033181 Clean title. The car has some dents, dings, and scrapes that are common for a 15-16 year old car. Also have to consider that most of these body parts have been in 2 -3 different countries getting shipped around. The car will need a new windshield.

PRICE: $10k as is w/ a replacement evo 8 short block included. You'll need to source a replacement turbo setup of your choice. NO PART OUT so please don't ask. Willing to consider trades as long as it includes $5k cash. Preferably S14's.

If it doesn't sell in the next month or 2, I'll swap the short block in with a stock 8 or 9 turbo setup and the price will go up to $12-13k, or I may just keep it. I'm giving someone the chance to buy the car and save $2k as is, for a weekend's worth of labor of swapping the short block. It would cost a lot more money than what I'm asking to complete this swap, not to mention all the hours involved in the swap, problem solving, and sourcing/shipping of parts from overseas. I started with one of the nicest front clips I have ever seen available.

Thanks,
Sean

Here's a couple links to the build threads. There's over 100+ photos documenting the entire build from start to finish. Don't mind that the thread title says 99 Mirage. The maroon one I originally bought was a 99 but I found a nice white 97 in the process. It's all there in the build thread.
