MIRAGE-MAN

Mr Muffler in penrose is good, got work done on my Mirage there, hes cheap and does a great job.

I pulled the whole exhaust off my Mirage one day last year, and went for a boost with the bro around Orewa. I went to boost it and as I was doing so, some old guy put his fingers in his ears. It was that fucking loud.

Mmm I won't be, I'm training to be a voulenteer firefighter at the moment and have training on Wednesday night. :/

Yup I'm Rollin around again..

I'm only speculating on that, like what most of yous are doing here.

My 1981 mirage should be worth a Shit load. It's not immaculate, but I'm slowly getting it there.

I looked over a few times to see you smiling lol.

A good meetup, argh I would have won the drag down the motorway with zebradudes Honda if I hadn't got off the southern motorway so soon.

I will probably come around?

Does anyone know if the new Mitsubishi's are like that?

You see those Diamantes and anything else Mitsubishi - Magna, Galant, Legnum, Lancer, Mirage etc etc etc piled high at Pick-A-Part, and Zebra U Pick. All because of Automatic transmission problems. Don't get me wrong, the automatics are really great cars and are f***ing great cars to drive. They become a dog when you get transmission problems. My dad had 3 Mitsubishis - Cordia, Galant and Magna. All 3 had new transmissions put into them. He brought a Mazda 6, and touch wood, will never have that problem again.

Shit, that massive article freaked me the fuck out. Not sure if im gonna start worrying about some of this.

Nice, good luck.

Will "ZEBRADUDE" be there.

and does anyone know where to find the engine number on a 1981 mirage, thinking of going to the wreckers to get another off a 1983 mirage and i want to know if it is a 1.5 litre, have checked on carjam, but i'm pretty sure that info is wrong.

are there any there for a 79-82 Mitsubishi mirage

I may come. If i'm not busy.

Didnt have to many interesting cars when growing up. Mitsubishi Cordia, Galant VR4, not to mention a Mitsubishi Mirage. Mum and dad mainly had Mitsubishi's. Poppa had a red austin allegro, nana and grandad had a hyandai stellar at some point too. May upload a few old pics later.

There is also mackenzie powercoating in new lynn, theyre excellent.

Hope these pictures help, have a lot more of the old Rage if you need.

I had spent many hours reading through your old posts about your old mirage bro. They have given me quite a bit of inspiration. just wanted to tell you how good it was.

Cheers.

Cheers bro

also thanks to Rxtoy, i didnt see your post till after i had replied to Taistorm. i dunno why but i couldnt see the second page till then. but yeah im pretty happy with the car. i just want to restore it to origonal condition. and i like the its looks and the inside is pretty well perfect. only thing i have found to be a problem so far is the cig lighter doesnt work. but i have had no time to look into it. i think it may be when the previous owner put the sony explode in it. which i want to get rid of.

 

does anybody by chance have a picture of an unadulterated dash that i can see so i can see what should have been where the ugly stereo is. as i would like to put that back to origonal aswell and maybe get one the same size as the tape deck thats in the console. instead.

It was popluar back in the day to cut the piece of plastic out which was the surrond for the original stereo, because new stereos wouldent fit behind the molded plastic. so if you want the original stereo setup you would have to find some way of getting the original front piece in there

I saw that mirage on tardme, nice score bro.

Why would you ever take it out of rabbit mode? Im sure it has a rabbit and a turtle or is it a turtle and a star? I cant remember was almost 15 years ago I last sat in one and they were pretty poos then.

Mine has a rabbit and a star

Those 8 speed Mirages were just weird. Are you telling us they are not extinct yet?

Hell no, there's at least 3 or 4 that live within 10KM'S of me here in west auckland

Get an early 80s Mitsubishi Mirage, and boost around town in 8TH gear yeah.
