I’ve done it! The engine screamed for a second till I pushed the clutch back in. No bad side effects to report and that was a couple years ago.

When I bought my Mirage in Sept. 2014, gas was about $3.45 per gallon. That was one of the reasons for buying (Plus having a NEW car I didn’t have to repair every other month). It was great to cut my...
I plasti-dipped my emblems a couple years ago. Worked out great. Peeled it off after a few months when going back to silver wheels.
Those wheels look great on the car! I like that wine color too. Wish they had it in ‘14 as a color choice.
Had some surface rust on both sides of the rear axle. So since it was such a beautiful day I decided to rattle can some rustoleum rust reformer on the areas then some regular rustoleum paint on top....
Original battery here, 4 1/2 years, 66000 miles. 2 years ago Juffylube said it was no good and needed to be replaced right away. I chuckled.
Just got rid of a Saab with a rotted spare tire well and holes in the driver and passenger floor, all from various water leaks. The car had other issues as well so I decided not to sink time and $$$...
Think I’ve had it up to 90 ish and no shaking here. I did have a bent wheel that shook a bit between 55-60 before I got it off the car.
I still have the 185-70-14’s on the car and have not had any issues other than a rub when hard braking. I’m still planning on switching over to the nicer newer 185-60-14’s but I’ve been busy so...
Looks great! I have yet to find low cost wheels in good shape to fit in my area, so I just run civic steelies for now. I bent a factory steelie pretty bad so I swapped them out. Currently running...
Beefy steel plate behind the rear bumper on North American versions. Found out how beefy by backing into another car pretty hard and no damage. :)
Wonder if those are storm damage cars picked up at auction? Maybe the Mitsubishi dealer didn't want to fix them. It's just a guess, but anyway really strange...
Thanks! I actually put the factory antenna back on as the short one was useless for reception.
Those shifter balls can be had in the numbered ones too. I think it was around 16 bucks on ebay.
2 1/2 years, 35000 miles, and I will actually have to finally take it to the dealer. Airbag light came on the other day. Still haven't even brought it in for recalls, etc. so it's about time I guess...
Think I'll put a set of smoked markers on my "I want it" list.
Looks good and great idea. Think I'm going to do this too and save some $$.
What about fender rolling? That might be something that can be done.
Congrats!
I did the same thing before I bought mine last year. This forum helped make my decision for sure.
