    Default It's Just a Mirage......

    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 this. These generation mirages look good done up. Some wheels with more lip would be nice.

    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.

    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

    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

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
