DoBro Jesus Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 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 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoBro Jesus Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 PS.

doullama Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 TIL that 2nd gen mirages were actually the national car of malaysia for some time, built as the proton saga (some in nz too) and the derivative iswara, and hence you can still get heaps of random crap to jam on em, in exchange for those sweet, sweet ringgits yo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoBro Jesus Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Haha I think a company called powerzone?

DoBro Jesus Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Oh yeah forgot to mention this thing flew through its wof only needing a bulb, had to revert back to some 185/80r14 on the front as the 215/75r15s are too wide and rub on the inner guard bugger. Gonna try hunt down another set of 27s as they sat perfectly on it. Got a wheel alignment done on it so now it won't chew tyres up haha. Leaking oil like a sieve lately though so will get onto that when I can be fucked. Still running and driving great though, forget how much I like this car until I drive it haha.

igor Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Was going to say it needs more high but having seen that pic it really doesn't. Looks about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We really need to get a not really suitable for offroad use wagon mission sorted. I think the Beagle and this would be good friends! Not sure who else would join us... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I can't get good photos of it looking high, way more jacked up in real life, photos make it look a lot lower! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Company is key with these things - I've had a few opportunities recently where I've had to bail for lack of a support vehicle/cell coverage. @Vintage Grumble's Carib would have been an ideal group member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doullama Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 @DoBro Jesus Have finally obtained 4wd mirage of dreams (really wanted your one but shipping was going to cost more than several mk2 mirages) - how do I go about fitting 27" muds to it? Has the factory skinny 14" rimz at present. Chur 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
