mirage brake upgrade :)

Lots of people (In my personal life) have bought Civics and the like, thinking that they will get the same experience out of it that I do.

But I can't really quantify what Chris has into this car. I would say that only Half of that car is actually what he started with.
 
Yeah, I'll vouch for Chris and his dedication to that car. I was with him when he first test drove it at Eric's work.

Everyone I know always knocks his Mirage, but I tell them that they would all have trouble keeping up with him on any twisty roads.


Remember that on-ramp to I-84 on the way to Claytons last summer? :eek:

That car sticks.
 
heh thanks guys. i set out to finally build something i love out of a car that i really didnt like but overall has treated me like gold.

im glad everyone who has experienced the car thus far really likes it. soon it will be something i really like. ;)
 
nice work...
you have the greddy e-manage TRUST(blue)??
what are your thoughts on the system??everyone i talk to seems to hate it..i have one in my 91si but i havent even opened up the tune yet....
any info on this system would be great
 
emanage is the best sub-$500 piggyback/standalone for lancers period. it works perfect for our vehicles. i would have the ultimate but i got a KILLER deal on this one. 90% of the boosted lancer population is using emanage (obd2).

but on a honda you are better with chrome/chrome pro since you can tune right onto the chip.
 
more new stuffs


brought a few more things home from the parents, more gaskets are coming in, more parts cleaned up looking like new.

cleaning the spare IM for porting

chris chances are i'll be doing 95% of the work myself. the reason for this is because, well, i'm anal and dont want to have to pull it apart again ;)

i will need a bit of help assembing the motor into the car though ;) seperate head/trans/block since i dont have an engine lift.
 
alright -

port to 55mm. wow. so much material. you can see how far ive gone so far as well.

getting there.

what is left. im going to have to trumpet it. worst case if i burn through too much the liquid steel will stop it from cracking away. then i can have a shop weld it up a bit for me.
