2017 Mitsubishi Mirage SE (Garage entry)

A quick inspection, brakes seem okay like they'll last past winter spring summer hopefully. The pads have plenty of material and the rotors look alright. The drums look okay except the right drum which looks more worn than the left. More correctly, the right-hand shoes look more worn than the left.

These brakes are a little rusty but the pedal felt good, strong and responsive not spongy. I plan on bleeding the system anyway. The chassis is in a lot better shape than i imagined. I will be piecing together new parts for the next service replacement.

You know what your problem is? You take things apart and look. You wouldn't be having any wear concerns if you hadn't tore it apart. Ignorance is bliss.

To be honest, maybe I've been lucky, but I tend to do my inspection by the performance of the vehicle. And by that I mean, I generally drive extremely gentle on a vehicle. Very defensive, very gentle. Which gives me more time to feel, hear, see things before they get busted.

The way I'm driving the Blueberry, I wouldn't be surprised if I got 100k miles on these Enasaves and never need to service the brakes before the Blueberry is no longer of my concern. What a car...

Haha funny! I can't stop myself, been tinkering for too long.

I drive my delivery Mirage pretty aggressively and push it's limits at times.

People drive fast nowadays! Cars have a lot of horsepower and torque and the Mirage's 3a92 doesn't!

The Mirage is a slow car you drive fast. You'll lose on the straight aways but might have a chance around corners and downhill. Sometimes i feel like Bunta racing an NSX just to drop off my deliveries.
