    Default turbomirage?

    A while back when the previous owner of my car ran this turbomirage guy, there were some comments made, like:

    I'm wondering if he is still around and if he ever got tires.

    my 2.0L factory stock except for cams + spray

    vs.

    his 2.0L factory stock except for cams + spray and a turbo.

    I got a emaculte ef at the shop some older black guy left three years ago said it wasnt worth putting a distributor on . Maybe i need to get a title for that baby instead of going with the eg. If you dont mind post some pics. Id like to see what it looks like in the bay so i can decide what to do with the new set up thanks.

    i have a couple single pulleys if need one or maybe you already have one just trying to help plus anything else you could think of for a h series lol. I had a buddy about eight years ago run a h (with shitty h trans ) stock with a 74 shoot in stripped eg . It ran 12.7 every pass pretty quick car for stock and 75 shoot and lasted for over a year spraying the piss out of it lol.

    i'll post up pictures today jones,

    and im not sure what was making the sound yet. it was either the tensioner or the balance shaft pulley.
    i just havent had time to take it apart because of school. but im hoping to have it back together by the beginning of next week.

    it pulls pretty good, and the nitrous definatly gave it a good kick. still could use some tweaking though. its on a pherable base map
    im just not sure if this is the route im want yet so im keeping it the way it is.

    the car is still local. he sold it to my friend les. i am pretty sure he will race you.

    i got a colt with a bone stock 4g63t with a 75 shots. we can run if you want to meet me at commerce one day or any track you like as long as it is not too far from kennesaw. i am hoping to take back some pride for the previous owner of the mirage seeing that you handed him his ass.
    ultimate sleeper.

    Ok but I have to ask why wont you bring out the mirage? you made the claim it would drag any NA/spray K in GA down the road...

    Both these cars are mirages. Neither I nor slodsm know the new owner like that so its alittle hard to get ahold of him. Trust me the race im trying to setup will be worth your wild, and I have not forgot about my statement.

    HAHA no sir. When I said street car I meant it. This car still has FULL interior p/s and a/c. Unlike most in the KF I dont have the free time to type up stupidness I would just like to see a nice race happen. 1civic would you like to join in?
