Been on here forever but never post much, here is my daily. Pretty much mitsubishi's old rival to the civic :P Oh and the carbon canards add so much downforce that my rear end lifts off the ground and the car becomes a sled, or an airplane... just sayin...

lol. this is like a 92 civic smashed into a cavalier which then smashed an 02 civic and then got mitsubishi badges and some rotas.

wouldn't be caught dead in it, but it's clean i reckon.

I like it anyway, don't see too many of these modded nicely. I just don't think I can own a Mitsubishi without a 4g in it.

clean car. that doesnt look like itbs. it looks like a intake manifold with velocity stacks mounted on the top.

Thats sorta what it is, lol but you get to keep some of that low end :)

The aftermarket for this car is very slim, i assure you they are all seperate thottle ports and have their own butterflys, just not as elaborate as most itb set-ups

that thang is clean, is yours that silver one with that huge turbo???

i think this is the same type of car that a guy used on pinks that was killing all these sick v8s cause he had an evo engine in it, it was very funny to see

I likey, does it have HIDs?

Are these factory 4G63 equipped or easily swappable?

Is that your car in your sig?

ty for the comments, the evo 4-9 engine is pretty much a direct drop in same mounts etc.. i believe. I think you may have to use a galant transmission, no sure. The car looks so much better with factory skirts, which are impossible for me to find around here lol, and the jdm 1 piece headlights and fogs make the cars look great. Most of them come with only the 4g15 wich is the 1.5 sohc 92hp engine, the ls models come with 113hp 1.8 sohc engines, and yeah the car isn't a civic and most of the aftermarket you find is euro tails and such which is not at all my thing. The car does not have HID's it may when i get the JDM 1 pieces in. Japan mirage Asti and Mirage cyborg came with a 1.6 175hp Mivec engine and 6spd transmission, why is it we always get shafted lol :(

I think it looks alot better than that Del Sol, personally. Besides, those cars have potential because all of the right parts are available and fit nicely when loaded right...... Nice Mirage OP

Wow, that's not bad at all for a little 1.5 na. I might have to try and get one of these and do the 4g swap, the look of it is growing on me.
