Fusions Daily Mira

[Fusion]

So after selling the bottomless pit that was Dicey the AE71, I found myself with a L200 Mira that I got for cheap. Only problem was a corroded transfer pipe, which was cheap to replace anyways.

Complete stocker at first, but couldn't stand it for long.

Interior: - Omori 10,000RPM Tacho
- Omori Oil / Water Temperature Gauge
- Nardi Deep Corn Wheel
- Rainbow Dildo Shifter
- Some Pioneer audio player

Currently modifying the rails to suit new seats. Got them from a Mazda RX7 S6, so should be nice and comfy.

Also got some new wheels comming. Think they are 13" x 6", but might be 6.5" . . . probably going to have troubles fitting them without a good flare :jdmsmile:

And would like to get a new exhaust with twin tips out the back, but that will come in all good time

Will get pictures when I've fitted up the seats, or when I can be bothered

Cheers Fusion

[shift_rook]

sounds good, should definately throw some pics up when you get wheels

[Fusion]

Cheers shift_rook,

Can anyone help me out with tyre choice? Got 2 options at the moment

Khumos in 155/65 for arund $100 or Yokohama's from England in 175/50 for $150.

[blair]

Definitely 155/65's!

So after selling the bottomless pit that was Dicey the AE71, I found myself with Omori 10,000RPM Tacho


haha me and marv were wondering about this, what does it rev to?

[Fusion]

Well got it to roughly 7500 - 8000RPM when me and Javal installed it . . . might of gone higher, but I was a little worried haha

Revs pretty well on the street when I'm driving it

Only really installed it because I had it lying around . . .didn't actually think I would get near 10,000 haha

[ill-minded]

tyres available in AUS for 13" are 155/65, 165/55 (http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/tyre4/xr-611.php) and 175/50 (http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/tyre42/as-1.php)

i think nankang do all of the above. 155/65 is a bit big though. 155/60 are available in japan and would be the best size, if they weren't so exxy to get over. they're also make advan AD07 in 155/60 :P

i also ran some numbers through a piston speed calculator, and these things could theoretically hit about 9,500RPM within the old 4000FPS piston speed rule. i say theoretically as the valvetrain would probably shit itself before then haha.

[ae71]

i have a 8,000rpm omori tacho... but i dont think these an option for 3cyl or are these 4???

[ill-minded]

all 3 bangers. i have a feeling the tacho may be reading under by 1/4 (unless they've accounted for this already). this would put it at about 10,000RPM haha

I have 165 55 on 6" and they are shit. Get some Advan Neova's from japan in 155 60.


Pics!

Funnily enough thats another reason why I used it. It has the option for 3, 4 and 6. It idles at around 1,100 RPM and sits on around 2,000 RPM on cold start so we assumed it was correct

[marvis]

Did it valve bounce? I did it once...

Never again.

[Fusion]

Can't remeber to be honest haha I just know I didn't want to push it any higher, generally only go up to about 5 - 6000 RPM on the streets when overtaking

[Fusion]

Love you Marvis :jdmsmile:

[sly1300]

pics pics pics pics.

i wanna pick one up too.
saw marv's and fell in love.

ppfffttt i do it all the time that fucking 4k just wont give up lol

Rims arrived :jdmsmile:

Found some Yokohama semi slicks in 175/50 for $200, think they were the A008 or something, but its just to much for what this car is I personally think. Probably just settle for normal grip road tyre Yokohama for $150 haha

Cheers Fusion

[marvis]

175 is HUGEEEE. Rims are hot, what specs?

Dude, I rape cars, and I am scared to rev this high, the limiter is stupidly high on these.

[stx-16]

true my 4k valve bounces at like 6,800rpm i think

[Fusion]

13 x 6.5, don't know about the offset. Going to test fit them today. If they are to wide I have consided the idea of selling them, although I'd rather see if I can haha

Yes 175 is huge, but its either that or 155/65. I looked into getting tyres from Japan, but its just going to be very expensive.

If you reckon the 155/65 would be better over the 175, please tell me. I don't have any experince when it comes to 13" tyres

Tyres are slim for 13" in Australia haha

what about this bad boy?

[Fusion]

Oooo, nice find. However thats the problem. Turbo Mira's can cost alot. They can range from needing work 3,500 up to 7,000 in mint condition. I'd personally rather buy a silvia or alike for that kind of money.

Did some work on it today getting all the wheel arches cleaned up. Looks alot nicer to work with now.

Will get some pictures up on Saturday when the old man gets home with the camera

[marvis]

I don't know how them tires are going to go under the guards... Picsss

[Fusion]

Yes I'm slack, things have kind of halted on this at the moment as family stuff has come up. Got to put a little money in another direction thats more needed.

Also contemplating not using the wheels . . as it will be interesting to get them inside the guards without big metal work flarage or bolt on flares. So holding off on that front aswell.

Will get pictures when I can be bothered / get time to wash the poor girl haha

Cheers Fusion

[sly1300]

get some pics up :) keen to see it.

[Fusion]

Haha sorry to dissapoint you, but its a 4 door! I actually find 4 doors rarer than 2. All I see is 2 doors lol

Pictures finally :D

Had 2 motorbike cops follow me home today and circle the car to give it a good look over. Even with no seat, Nardi and Dildo Shifter they didn't mind it :hehe:

[Pidgey]

Angry eyes NOW! :)
Looks clean, not sure if I like the two doors though..

[Fusion]

Haha didn't bother me to much really, it is just a cheap daily after all

And I need to get the bonnet resprayed . . so I am tempted to go the angry eye route

[Pidgey]

Yeah, it's cool regardless :)
Please please please do it.

[Fusion]

On another note took out the rear shocks today . . . compressed them and they didn't return what so ever. Think they might need replacing hehe . .

[sly1300]

Yeah, it's cool regardless :)
Please please please do it.

agreed with the above statement.

i want one NOW.
nothing decent on carsales,carsguide,trading post or ebay... except marv's.... but thats in qld. otherwise that would have been mine weeks ago

[marvis]

Hehe, cute. Angry eyes for sure! looks so good and is pretty easy.

[Fusion]

Little update.

Dad's taking the car to his workshop tomorrow and is hoping to get the seat rails made up for the RX7 seats. Little bit of modfying to do, but should be good in the end.

Bought some 13 x 6 rims as the 6.5 really do sit out a little to much, and I'm a chicken haha

They are multispoke rims with a polished lip. Thinking of getting the spokes powdercoated some bright colour (blue, green or orange) and leaving the lip polished.

Also decided to get 175/50 Yokohamas from England. Want to stick with a sensible tyre and thats pretty much the only choice I have.

Also got a Buddy Club water temp adaptor and modified sump for the Oil / Water tempreature guage that I will install when I get a tune / service done.

So alot going on for it, and yet not alot happening haha

Cheers Fusion

[Fusion]

O . . .M . . .G just installed Hyuandi Excel shocks in the Mira and the difference is amazing. Stock was completely rooted. Springs still stock and compressed up.

Acceleration has gone up alot, it feels awesome now haha

[marvis]

Dude.


155 60 13 Advans. like 500 landed for full set.

[Fusion]

Where?! Show me and I'll buy them

I've tried a couple of places and been told it will cost more than that

[ill-minded]

apparently you can get 145/60R13 hankook optimo k715 locally. i'd try looking into that.

[Fusion]

Yeah just heard that myself. Although I asked a stocker of hankook just today about tyres and he said the nearest he could get was like 185 profile.

Will try another place tomorrow though

I've tried about 8 to 10 different sources now and 155 . 60 from Japan is looking to be around 1000 and 175 50 from England is around 600

[sly1300]

used tyre mart at wingfield?

had all sorts of skinny and lowish profiled 13s and 14s last time i was there.
just gotta go for a hunt thru the tyre racks

cheap as too. and they stretched on a set of 95% new 185/60 yokohamas onto 14x8 -lots
drive in drive out 200 clams. dirt cheap

oh yeah, more pics too :) wanna see tho seats in

[Fusion]

Dads been busy with work. Bloody people keep paying him to go to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane etc haha Engineers for you . . .

Cheers for the tip, will deffiantly check them out.

Will have an upload for you on Tuesday.

Getting the exahust done. 1 3/4" pipe, resonator and muffler with twin pipes out the back maybe

Cheers Fusion

I had 165 55, would be better then 175 50 and cheaper by a few hundred.

[Fusion]

Ah ok, cheers Marvis.

Didn't you say that the tyres handle a bit shitty in that profile though? I don't mind going bigger if it means they are going to handle a bit better haha. And yeah it will be abouit 200 cheaper going that profile haha

Cheers Ross

[ill-minded]

should handle fine. i think the only reason they sucked was cause they kept rubbing on the rear guards even after rolling them out heaps

[Fusion]

So . . long time no update

Got some Yokohama's from England in the "Mini" size. They look like they should be pretty sweet.

Fitted the RX7 seat and it sits to high . . . damn.

And now the engine is playing up. Overheats when sitting in traffic, unless i keep the rev's up. Yet I loose no coolant or oil and have no milkshake going on. Going to take it into the mechanics pretty soon. Just need some time off work besides a Sunday

Cheers Ross

[marvis]

Just get an engine from the wreckers?

[Fusion]

Yeah might just do that aswell, but I find the Mira slow haha Want it to go a little faster lol

[Mr Awsome]

turbo motors are only $800-$1000 or just bolt all the turbo gear to it.

[Fusion]

Yeah thats an idea . . . or bike carbs XD

[marvis]

Take more weight out. I took my rear seats and spare and that made a big difference.

[sly1300]

turbo motors are only $800-$1000 or just bolt all the turbo gear to it.

where is a turbo mira motor in sa for 8 hunge?

[Andy San]

where is there a turbo mira motor anywhere for $800?

other than japan
