Ooooh very intrigued by that! Would love to see pics!

Tried one on the sigma too, heeeaps of guard space left haha pretty keen to import a wider set of them!

Desprung a corner and tried one on today, love how they looked! Gotta get some adjusties made up I'm thinking!

Hey guys, going away for new years and wanting to take a trailer to cart some couches and a BBQ, Does anyone know of cheap trailer hire for a few days or does anyone have one they would be willing to rent out for beer/money? Needs to fit a couple of 2 seater couches and a BBQ. Chur.

Have pretty much done nothing on this since I got it, BUT, just got my advans from japan this evening. Huuuuuge thank you to Jordon and EURON8 for organising and getting them down to wellington for me, wheels are far better condition than I expected too, stoked!

I do know the vacuum advance is buggered, but, i've had cars with fucked vac advance in the past and they haven't run this rough! Gonna have to rip the head off anyway as when i took it for a blat round the block the other day it started pissing oil between the head and block all over the bellhousing. got a spare set of brand new leads i got for my lancer So will give them a try this weekend. Just to completely eliminate ignition side of things.

Hey y'all, As some of you may know i've recently picked up a factory turbo mirage, it's always ran pretty rough but just enough to get it back from hastings to wellington. I'm completely lost with this turbo-carby wizardry! when it's cold it has a real hard time starting and when it starts you have to sit there with your foot half way to 3/4s on the throttle until it warms up a bit otherwise it bogs down and dies. When it's warm it idles, poorly, and has a bit of a miss when you rev it. When driving if you don't floor it it drives reasonably smooth but when you floor it it coughs and splutters and jerks like an absolute piece of shit then comes right after a bit. You fellas got any ideas on what could be causing it? it doesn't blow any smoke when it's surging or anything, fuel pump seems to be working sweet and plugs and leads are working all gravey. Chur.

Do it, Pretty close to you too...

PS. Someone should buy this and be cool/uncool like me, i'd buy it but the female says 5 cars are enough dang it. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=955508973

Nabbed the compression tester and timing light from work for the weekend just to see how all 5 of my mitsubishis are haha, had a smidge of energy when i got home so timed up the old hag which made it run a fair chunk nicer, was far too advanced before so pinking like a mother fucker under heavy load. Did a compression test too dreading what the results would be, Buuuuuuuut had a healthy 160-170psi on all four!! i thought that was pretty damn good considering A. It's a mitsubishi B. It's a mitsubishi that's done 330000ks if not a bit more! Couple of pics too Oh, and this is the derby car, pretty sad really, the thing runs bloody mint, just can't justify spending the money on fixing the severe amount of rust :/

Yup I was there getting some breakfast haha! Cheers man its really grown on me this wee car, can't fault a cheap to run, reliable, 4wd, wagon for practical daily uses!

Exactly the 4g63 I was thinking of, what about 4g62t out of a cordia to keep it 80s SOHC goodness? Small update anyway, fixed a heap of vacuum leaks and replaced vacuum advance with a non leaky one, runs like a dream now and significantly better on fuel! Also worked out odometer is in miles, so its actually done about 340000ks, pretty stoked it still runs so mint! Repainted bumpers and gave it a cut and polish too so it doesn't look as much of a piece of shit now too!! Picked up another mirage too which I'm gonna enter in the end of season demo derby after I tax all the good bits off it, bonnet is mint which is the only rusty panel on the lancer so that's a score in itself! Also has mega lush digi dash! Any idea if I can swap them over so the wagon has sweet LCD goodness? Will post pics when phones not being a chump.

Glad I just found this, needing window from my derby car chucked on the missus' daily as her windscreen is delaminating like a biiiiatch, late 80s mirage, how much to swap em over?

If you do end up wanting to sell those struts, hit me up, looks bloody good!

Gahhhh so jealous of turbo sigma, Fucking mean score even without motor. if you ever decide to sell the LSD and IRS setup hit me up

Is the chariot in good nick? Wouldnt mind the 4g63 as well although carby would be easier

Even with the 4wd box? Needs a power upgrade as its slow as hell!

Got the spotties on today woop Woop! Bloody bright too which I'm happy with.

Was really excited about taking this for a hoon up the river or around red rocks this weekend then boss asks me to work saturday fuuuuuuck, may still get out though, if so, pics/videos will follow

Got the 27s on today, really happy with how they sit, no scraping at full lock etc, lifted it more than i expected too which is a bonus! Pics don't really show how much higher it is cause of the angle which is a pain.

Got reasonably motivated with this in the weekend, receieved my ratmat, so ripped the interior out on sat and went to town with the sound deadening! Got 14 sheets of it which covered the boot, most of the floor, inner door skin on the rear doors and inner and outer skins on the front doors! Really happy with the result, would definitely recommend it if yo' ride is rattly and loud! While i had interior out i fitted my new sounds which is an Alpine IDA-x100 headunit, 4" Alpine type s speakers, Rockford fosgate prime series 6x9s, An older Alpine 4 channel amp, Orion XTR series monoblock amp running a little Digital Designs 8" LE-MO8 sub running at 1ohm, full 4 gauge wiring throughout, this lot with the quietness of the ratmat makes for a significantly more comfortable daily! Pics: And then when i was at one of the tyre shops on a parts run today i spotted a set of 27x8.5r14s! So had a yarn to the guy about them and bought them half a hour later woooo!

Yeah both my wagons are this shape mirage and I'm definitely considering a second set after seeing that, I reckon would look even sweeter in wag format too!

Yep, happy with my decision! Look choiiiice! Even with the whole foot of guard gap haha

That would be awesome if you could find those pics! yep have won the 14's so hopefully have them here in a couple months, which is good as it gives me time to save for tyres, fix issues etc etc, ideally wanna have it rolling and ready for OSnats 2016!

Just made a deposit on a set of a3a's with MLracing, so yeah gonna roll the 14x6s! should really be spending money on getting it running properly but shiny bits entice me too much!
