Probably flooded. If it doesn’t start on the first try they usually flood. If you shut it off shortly after starting they like to flood. If you had it running and it ran like the Pooh it was...

Looks good so far!

If these wheels are really old, be sure to check the tire bead area of the wheel when you dismount those tires. Corrosion can build up where the tire meets the wheel...which...

I don't know what the hub bore is on a Honda Civic...but make sure these wheels will actually bolt on to your Mirage first if that's how you intend to use them.|

Edit - A mirage hub is 56 mm.

Before starting, make sure they are round, straight and true.


Edit: Ha - Loren beat me to it.

Also, I learned this lesson the hard way on another project. :)

Aluminum is soft. Be careful to not remove more material than you need to.

I'd first go after it with soap and water and Scotchbrite. Especially the inside. If you HAVE to go at it with a wire...

Dont concern yourself with the rear drums too much. I had a trusted brake shop owner basically tell me the drums in the bad hardly do anything besides throw in with emergency e-brake manuevers. I...

Welcome!

I suggested doing this in post #6 of this thread, & I was about to say it again. I'm glad Steve said it instead, because it has worked for him.

Hello grevster and welcome to the forum.

The one and only time I've bothered to clean a Mirage throttle body was to humor our retarded nearby dealership. Took 5 mins. The back of the blade was a little oily.
What I did was unbolt the...

On the bright side, all you have to do is load that pic from a smartphone onto this forum and it will be right side up for your viewing pleasure lmao.

So, for nearly the entire time I've had my 2014 Mirage, I've had an intermittent squeak at idle. I figured it was just a loose accessory belt, so when I had a chance, I tightened it up. That did...

So, now that I am commuting again, I am motivated to do some more fun stuff with the Mirage. The next mod I am currently planning an alternator delete.

What is an alternator delete? Well, in...

I had to replace my rear drum brakes. Here are some pictures of the process and some pointers. This is not a full tutorial, but may be helpful to those not familiar with the procedure who are...

Taking these part numbers and doing some cyber-sleuthing here is a site that has the filters and gaskets in stock:
