    Default Gunner's Manic Mirage

    So I bought a mirage yesterday.

    2001, 146,000kms, 12months rego, $1800, but it has never ever been serviced, not even a timing belt. I know this as it was my sisters, and she is a dumb fuck lol.

    So, I drove it home yesterday, and fuck me she is a nugget. SO I removed the airfilter. Then advanced timing by 25*. It pinged, so I made up some magic fuel.

    A 30:1 mix, of fuel to nitro methane, it doesn't ping anymore.

    Future mods will include a stereo that works, and some lowness. Followed by either a turbo conversion (tdo5l, front mount, mild steel cooler pipes, and extra injector, swithed by a hob switch, woooo $1000 boost job) or I am just going to cut off the rear muffler. I'll probably just cut off the rear muffler.

    BUt it will be MANIC

    I see your 4G63 and raise you a 6A12.
    That's assuming my assumption is correct and these things are just a hatchback Lancer. 6A12 in Lancer is epic, would be even better in a lighter car

    Can anyone confirm, that these have an air temp sensor in the plenum?

    if its going to go faster, I will put together a kit like i used to do for accents.

    a long moto will set me back $300, and g box $170, so I dont mind poppin it with too much boost.

    Cressy needs rego first before we go any further on this goat.
