Fly like an eagle...I have a CSM problem

So in the tradition of posting the project car before picking it up, Meet the new addition to the fold. It's a 1995 Eagle Summit DL.

I picked it up for a dirt cheap price for the specific purpose of being a motorsports beater. I love my cyborg but at the end of the day, I didn't want to cut it up for a ton of mods and really have been enjoying driving it on the streets all summer just in pretty much stockish form. So this popped up on the mirage boards like 10 miles away I ran and not walked and went to pick it up last night.

This thing is really rust free for a Nebraska/Iowa car. I was shocked. I even did a title search to see if it was from California or the south or something and nope. This area all it's life. These are tin cans that rust if you look at them wrong. This picture just had me running and not walking to go get it:

It's a 1.5L with a whopping 92 HP but that doesn't matter. That engine is not long for this car. 

So what's the plans for the car? Turbo. All the Turbos. I have a high RPM screamer with the Mivec. This one is going to be more like the Baby Evo, Lancer GSR. I have all of the right stuff to build a forged 4g93 and the turbo manifold and a 14B so that'll be the way I'll probably go at least to start. Looking forward to it. Will post more pics as when I get the car this weekend. 

Few more pics:

I like the idea of a "motorsports beater." Nothing too fancy, but perfect for getting more seat time.

In reply to Colin Wood :

Yeah. It won't be fancy. Almost all factory parts from the Mitsubishi and associates parts bins. Luckily it was a pretty big parts bin in the 90's. The Eagle is just a Mirage with nicer badges. 

Brakes will be from a 2G Eclipse GSX calipers in the front and Acura RSX calipers in the rear on Mini Cooper S rotors. 276MM Front and 260MM Rear. Then I'll be digging up a 15/16" bore master cylinder from I think it's a 3000GT or Mivec for it all to match. 

Rear suspension will be borrowed from the 1st Gen Volvo S40 which was a Mitsubishi with a Volvo engine. I have the rear swaybar and mounts from there already in my parts bin. The front will be the Evo III swaybar setup as it matches the coilovers I already have. 

Transmission I'm going to try and find will be the Mitsubishi Expo 1.8L Manual. Those had the shorter ratio like the overseas Mivec models. They are rare. If not I know where there is a mirage one so I can get an LSD. The 1.5L transmission will not take a LSD. 

The engine stuff will be basically a mildly built. I have the rods and pistons to make it strong and withstand a beating. The 4g93 is an easy drop in. I'm not looking for crazy HP. Would like 220HP to the wheels which should be an easy goal with a 12PSI build on RC550s that I have already. 

Goal is about 2200LBS and low 200's HP with traction that I can prowl the streets for fun and take to the track/autox/rallycross when I want. I've got a budget of about $5K total for everything. I could make it a challenge car with some stretching. 

Looking forward to more :D

I really don't know much about these. You're basically building the Evo I coupe that never was? I love these obscure 90's coupe bodystyles. 

In reply to maschinenbau :

Kinda. It's more just a mix of all of the good parts from Mitsubishi of the era. They were parts bin cars in a lot of ways so it's just assembling the lego pieces that they should have from the factory or that they did in other markets. 

I will keep it FWD for a while at least because I want to keep it under 2200LB which is easy to do. My last one of this body style was under 2K with no turbo. There is a lot of evo cross over parts especially with the front brakes and suspension. I also want to turbo this one. I already have most of the parts for that on what was the factory motor in the next step up model. 

The side purpose is to wrench with my nephew. I got him into track days last year and he just loved it so he is very excited to build this with me. He will be doing all of the welding and fab work for me as he is a welder by trade. He is still learning the whys and this is a great way to teach him. Also, It'll be a car he can take to the track/autox/rallyx whenever he wants as well. 

I have it's younger cousin that has a high revving 1.6L already that I drive all summer and has been my track rat but I'm really enjoying driving everyday and don't want to compromise it to make it safe at 120+ MPH straights.
