    Unless you used an engine/trans harness and computers from a donor car along with some or all of the dash/interior harness. Anything is doable but it'd be far easier, cheaper and quicker to just go buy a 5speed.
    Keep in mind, these things often run like poop and throw abs codes if you have a burnt out brake light bulb.
    Don't worry, 7milesout Enterprises will figure that all out and make it even easier. We'll also provide a "trunk kit" with any pieces / parts / part numbers and instructions on how to perform the swap. Course, this will make our automagic vehicles even more expensive than normal, throwing in the 3rd pedal, trunk kit, and etc.

    Warm-ish weather is finally here, and I was happy to crack 70 in Mirage #3!

    That's about 3L / 100 km.

    This was a one-way trip, though. I think I got 65ish on the outbound leg.

    Last year I scored a 78 MPG tank in Mirage #2. We'll see if lucky #3 is up to the task.

    My brand new 2022 G4 ES with the CVT is doing pretty darn good, Usually average mid 50s MPG wise as all of my driving is highway. a half tank lasts me an entire week driving 60 miles a day. Managed to crack 60mpg on a 90 mile drive doing 60 with the cruise set the whole way lol Name:  290745089_5211916662230695_1990007020906358474_n.jpg

    This is about the only reason I am jealous of the CVT in the Mirage. 2k RPM @ 60mph would make highway travel easier to obtain better gas mileage. Great job by the way.

    I originally bought a used 2021 g4 with the 5 speed and to be honest i didn't like it nearly as much as the CVT, Its just geared so much shorter on the highway, 75-80mph was around 4000RPM on the freeway lol. Sooo i traded it back in for a new 2022 model with the CVT.

    Haha, I like to see just how high it'l get. Right about 62mpg is my limit so far doing normal highway speeds, it still does about 47mpg with the AC at 68F at 75mph though.

    Congrats! These cars are sure capable of some impressive numbers.

    What were you driving before, in case I missed that?
