Default Mirage?

I have been meaning to post this for a while but never got around to it. I was heading home from work the other day. I glanced toward the oncoming traffic and something caught my eye and gave me a chuckle... it was a baby blue mitsu. mirage. As I got closer I notced an intercooler. Anyone else seen this car... know who he is? Have anymore details on his setup?

I have only seen one mirage with a front mount and that thing was sick. It was a mirage turbo hatch (which is a pretty rare car in turbo form). A buddy of mine is doing a 6 bolt swap in a mirage hatch sometime this winter.

I saw this guy at my work in the parking lot once before.. but he doesn't work here. It didn't have a front bumper on the car, and to my dismay, when I saw the front of it I also spotted a FMIC.... I wouldn't take it too seriously though if it's the same car. Judging by the way he took off when he got out of the parking lot, it runs 16's.. but the blow off valve sure was loud.

Nah, this was not a hatch... That is what I was curious about. Hoping to see if he dropped in a 4g63 or not.

The one I'm talking about was definitely turbo'd.. front mount, could hear it spooling when he took off, and then a LOOOOOOUD blow off valve.
