    And this, ladies and germs, is precisely why I held out for a 5MT. I know a clutch will be needed at some point, no big deal as I've done a few on Saturns and Fords.


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    I checked craigslist in ohio, they seem to ask a lot for Mirage's around there. Same goes for dodge diesels in certain states I guess. I'll be listing mine down south when I decide to flog it.
    That's got to have 250,000kms on it. Otherwise, why brand new brake pads, shoes and tires? How the hell do you roll up 250,000 in a year or so?

    I wonder what the 2017+ roller cam looks like. I don't recall seeing any pictures of one yet.

    That is much simpler than what I expected. There's no 'swing cam' complication as shown in this video:



    Now I wonder what's in that there little can...

    Also it looks to me like the cams are pressed on.
