    Southern NJ Evo guy here!

    Hey All,
    Darren here - just wanted to say howdy. Been modifying cars for a long time (DSM's & Galant VR4's) and currently have a 2013 Evo GSR that's getting the "treatment" so I traded in my old 2001 Honda Odyssey for a new 2014 Mirage DE! I don't know why but I love this little car. It's the little engine that could LOL.

    I've already had the center console off to brainstorm a short shifter and will be doing the shifter base bushings at the same time. I'll also be upgrading to Cruise Control once I figure out what parts are needed. Hoping there are parts that have alternatives which are cheaper, but we'll see. Other than that, everything else will remain the same. Even the radio isn't that bad!

    Anyone else out there from Jersey? I'm hosting a Mitsubishi Meet in Blackwood, NJ on May 24th. PM me for details!

    PS. I just realized this may make me seem like a salesman but I'm not, lol.

    Cheers!

    Hey Darren - you spelled your name wrong!

    About the cruise, it's been discussed a few times, but I don't think anyone's found out yet if it's as simple as adding switches.

    Short shifter sounds fun. Please post details!

    Welcome to the forum.

    I can't put my finger on the exact reason, but I feel the way you do - I just find this car fun.

    I don't even notice the engine noise anymore.

    Couple of my uncles back in the Philippines have and had evos and VR4s.

    Let me know what parts you get for upgrading the bushings and short shifter. I've been thinking about it since day 1.

    1990ggsxnj - yeah, let us know how the short-shifter idea comes out. I might be interested in one when I get my Mirage from Mitusbishi. I own a 2008 Lancer GTS and absolutely love the car! Welcome aboard!
