Muffler delete and flow master tip
Window rain guards
Front bumper extensions
Full window tint
Ultra racing front and rear strut bar

Tein basic coil overs are coming soon

Basic weight savings have put the car at 1890lbs with a half a tank of gas.

Welcome!!!! From Bluejellybean !!!!!! I like that Angry Jellybean !!! Lol Lol I think you'll like this Forum!!! Keep us posted Awesome Pictures!!!!

Thank you. I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution RS and a 2002 LS1 Camaro both setup for road courses.. But they are getting very pricey to track often. This thing is super cheap and super fun!

Took it for it's first run in the mountains with my buddys Viper. And he couldn't hang in the turns.. I can't wait till I get coils.

Welcome to the site.

Nice Mirage! Love the handling mods. I bet they made a huge difference over stock haha.

Great pics! Did you take them? I am certain that's the only photo ever taken of a Mirage + Viper.

Welcome to the site!

And feel free to make a garage entry: add car

Are you able to get us a clip of what the exhaust sounds like in 'spirited driving' situations? Does it feel any different without the giant center muffler?

[frankd14321]

Don't have one, but it does sound awesome!! Very raspy and poppy.. and it's actually a very light muffler that only weighs 7 lbs. I thought I was gonna be around 20lbs.

Use the factory fog light holes for brake cooling ducts. You also might want to flush the brake fluid and install something like Motul 600 RBF. I found I had more fun in my slower, and cheaper, 2002 Hyundai Accent on road courses than I did in my MUCH more powerful and MUCH faster Dodge SRT-4.

I am no stranger to the track. I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution RS. 2900 lbs, 400whp, 265 tires all around with custom kw v3 suspension. I also have a 2002 Camaro Z28 with 315's all around an 450whp with a lot of suspension upgrades. So far the brakes haven't been an issue as I can turn so fast I hardly use them.
