What did you do to your Mirage today?

[Wallythacker]

Took me a while but finally had some extra cash and found a really good deal nearby for $150. Looks good as is but I'm sure I'll think of some other mods I'll want to do still. Any ideas?

Can you tell me where you got that great deal? I'm looking to have my driver/passenger windows only and I'm getting quotes of $150. Insane.

you can PM if you don't want to show the name publicly.

Just did the 52500 mile oil change (first change since purchase used), got metal bits in the catch pan. :/ Used a mobil1 filter and Castrol Edge 5w-40.

Had my led fog lights installed and hooked up. They are great and bright.

Hola amigos, a good-quality mayfun alpine vie-x007w-b got from the Japanese, they gave me alpine SBG-1244BP on the other, which in fact occupies more than half of the trunk, which, in fact, cannot be called a trunk, because there is little space, and I was tormented by the thought that that I have a buffer, but it is not yet in the car, half a year has passed since the moment it was presented to me, and the thought that the warranty for the buffer is only a year, every month intensified the desire to install it. I went to the "autolux", counted one price, took a ride in the "Tsum", there is a car audio store, named a different price, drove to the Komsomol 66, the price was arranged, I decided. I arrived, showed the characteristics of the buffer, helped with the choice of the amplifier, wires + the price of work, suited me, signed up, arrived, checked, paid, gave recommendations on how not to burn the buffer and amplifier, gave a guarantee for a year, in general, I am satisfied with the work, for such a small volume auto space, such a powerful sound! To save space, the amplifier was installed under the driver's seat, the wires were hidden, under the carpet + I think that this amplifier has a control panel, you can make the bass more powerful or weaker.
+ If, indeed, there will be a need to transport something, it will be possible to disconnect the wires, insulate, bring the buffer home, and also connect it later without any problems. It feels like any track you've heard before is even more enjoyable to listen to. I respect other people, when I enter the courtyard, I always make it quieter, because I understand that not all people will be delighted with the stool from which music can be heard in their home.
I talked to a lot of people, they advised to sell the buffer and not get involved in "auto sound", but the main thing is the result, the feeling that you get when you go with good music - and no matter where, it is important what you feel at that moment, and these sensations are more expensive than all money in the world. Very philosophical how it happened) Asta la vista.

I did 2 things. 1 helpful, the other fun. To start the day I helped a lady out who ran out of gas. On the way to the drugstore (so my mom could shop) I saw a lady walking down the road. Ya see people walking all the time, so I didn't give it much thought. While my mom was shopping, I went back to the gas station to get a pizza. The lady walking down the road came in, and then went to the pump with a gas can. It hit me that she had ran out of fuel. I offered a ride and she said yea. So I took her back to her car.

The fun was I raced a UPS truck. These two trucks were just getting off work, heading back to their base- at about the time I was going in. They had to make a right turn about a mile up the road. I could see in my rear view mirror they were kind of racing/jockeying for position. There's 3 lights, and ya barely catch a red, but this time I did. There was a UPS truck behind me and one beside me. Upon green, I pulled out and the one beside me gunned it. I knew if he got in front of me he was then going to turn right, which would then make me slow down. Skip that. I gunned it too. Get behind me buddy.

I can say with a smile that a Mirage is faster (at least off the line) than a UPS truck.

In full disclosure here, I should also say I turned down a race with some kid in a Camero about a week ago. We were at a light, kid looks at me, is rocking back and forth. Ya can tell he wants to race. I pointed that I was going to the building just across the intersection- which I was- and declined. That kid can pick on someone his own size. He gunned it. I turned into the parking lot just after the light. Ya can tell summer is coming up.

Installed a cheap ebay purchased armrest, it fits and will work but is a bit wobbly. For under $30 I can't complain.

Book says sparks at 90k km, they were pretty embedded in the head and made some odd noises/feeling on the way out, new ones went in easy and nipped to 25nm.

Thought the air intake would cause a lot of trouble but after removing the three bolts and the pcv breather and some other vent hose off I just temporarily moved it out the way without having to mess with any hose clamps or rubber hoses which was nice.

After lurking this forum for over a year, I finally decided to order the MAF sensor housing from Daox. Cleaned up my engine bay and installed my shiny new cold air intake with the help of various write ups I found here. Thanks for all the help, guys. She's lookin' good!
Here's a before and after pic.
