So I bought a mirage yesterday.

2001, 146,000kms, 12months rego, $1800, but it has never ever been serviced, not even a timing belt. I know this as it was my sisters, and she is a dumb fuck lol.

So, I drove it home yesterday, and fuck me she is a nugget. SO I removed the airfilter. Then advanced timing by 25*. It pinged, so I made up some magic fuel.

A 30:1 mix, of fuel to nitro methane, it doesn't ping anymore.

Future mods will include a stereo that works, and some lowness. Followed by either a turbo conversion (tdo5l, front mount, mild steel cooler pipes, and extra injector, swithed by a hob switch, woooo $1000 boost job) or I am just going to cut off the rear muffler. I'll probably just cut off the rear muffler.

BUt it will be MANIC

I see your 4G63 and raise you a 6A12.
That's assuming my assumption is correct and these things are just a hatchback Lancer. 6A12 in Lancer is epic, would be even better in a lighter car :D

Can anyone confirm, that these have an air temp sensor in the plenum?

if its going to go faster, I will put together a kit like i used to do for accents.

a long moto will set me back $300, and g box $170, so I dont mind poppin it with too much boost.

Cressy needs rego first before we go any further on this goat.

Modded air temp signal yesterday, had to pull back the timing 7*, it should have an afr of 13+:1, its still a goat.

Going to find a 4" tacho today, oh and we have a trust gear knob worth 50 hp

the nitro doesn't do much in the way of power, just seems to run a lot cleaner/smoother, and it smells good.

So the guy that bought the manic mirage has vanished, so with the $500 deposit he left me, I bought another car, and am going to keep this.

This will be my touge monster, yeah you can all laugh now, but this will be a machine

It will be dumped, and sway barred, and charged.

The sockies will remain, but will sport semi slicks. It will have the ass end gutted, I mean gutted, like I will die if someone hits the back. Basically the aim is to have a 13 sec. twisty worthy mirage for under 5k, the mutation will e spaced over the year provided I dont sell it.

It will be manic.

Why do you waste time on this?

Get the cressy going.

Gunner

why not, I am not going to rush the cressy, I dont really want to drive it.

Mirage is my fuel efficient shitter, and the cressy is to cruise/tow (not with the 4m)
