went to an auto show the other day with the mirage in it, one thing i noticed was the way the door sounds when closed.. it sounds like it has insulation inside.

some units have already arrived here in the Philippines.
saw a pic of a GLX unit (base trim)

looks like the LED Taillight is for the higher model and also a direct fit to the old tail light...

those are the standard 15" Alloy wheels found in asian market hatchback mirages. specifically here in the Philippines.

the 14" ES wheels you guys have there are standard for the base model trim...

Here's a short video showcasing the sound of the Cherrybomb Glasspack on our Mirage. pretty much the same with the hatch.

maybe till well known brands like Philips/Osram/Sylvania/Bosch offer LED bulbs in standard halogen type socket sizes, then I'll give them a try. :D

yes. just a bad ground. i tried hanging a ground wire on the horn from one of the mounting points of my grounding kit as seen on the pic. it won't be permanent. just did that to try if it's the root...

can't get it off my head. even if it's almost midnight here. discovered that it's just bad grounding from the horns. coz the mounting point wasn't sanded down to bare metal. will do that in the...

they can probably do it. though they charge quite a lot, their work speaks for themselves.

I estimate it'll be around 10,000 pesos

I think the people from CavCrew fabricated this sway bar. I contacted a guy named Johnny Adriano for the purchase on facebook. it's made from 19mm 4130 galvanized solid steel bar. feels really solid...

hmm. locally manufactured products here in the Philippines don't usually have part numbers.. just like the Speedlab products.

The companies just specify which car brand and model they have...
