Hey all! I do car detailing as a side hustle and wanted to share an updated guide on how to detail your Mirage and have it looking on point! Hopefully this will be the first of many guides. I will...
I bought my 2018 Mirage GT in January of 2019 for about $16k. I’ve never loved a car more, not even my dad’s restored ‘66 Mustang that he let me “have” for a few years. Of course,...
The goo that clogs the core cannot be flushed out. I have done several of these and had to remove the entire dash to do it. Some say the tubes can be un-crimped from the core and dash replacement is...
I've almost always got them running that way. Usually, when they're outside they fire up by just flooring it. When I bring them into the shop cold and then sometimes when I go to pull them out hours...
Since I do small engine repair, I haven't used my snowblower (or lawnmower) for ever. I just road test other peoples ;) I don't know how I would deal with 3 or 4 feet of sno... I think I would have...

Got the audio system replaced today by Hyperion Technology in Ottawa. They did an awesome job! The steering wheel controls and backup camera work too.
They screen is SO MUCH better, and of course it...
So you have a 2015 ES 5-speed with 82,000 miles. What do you think you could get for it in this market? That's gotta be part of your consideration (...and I'm curious because I have the same car...
I purchased a Autel TS408 tool from JB Tools (under $125), and 8 Autel MX-Sensor 2 in 1 sensors from Amazon, eBay or whoever had them the cheapest at the time. Example -

Simmer your tits. I'm not gone for good. I was wasting too much time on here though. Needed a break from here and work so took 10 days off, came back to work for 5 days then left again for another...
Just wanted to share a great story. K McKenzie on Youtube often posts really informative vids about Mirages and Eclipse Crosses. https://youtube.com/channel/UC-cvOclwzJuvOl1q9ntLCfw Check his channel...
