    Fresh and Clean!

    New to the crew... Was a long time coming for me to get my butt back in to a mirage. Was a owner of 1999 LS 2D back in the day. This is my Fine newly bought 2015 ES 5 speed looking for some work. She needs to be lowered and I am in need of under carriage, under hood and trunk sway bars feels good to be back! Name:  20150210_163929-1.jpg

    Thanks guys! This car was very hard to find after weeks of looking. I found a dealer who found me mine trim, color and tranny! Dealer told me he had trouble finding it himself. This is the only mirage of trim color and tranny in my area for 400 miles! Made me feel special!

    Very nice saphire ES! Drive her easy and get ready for incredible mpg, I just got 41 last tank when my civic was getting 23 (mountains and 0-30degree temps) . I'm sure if I was in texas doing highway driving I would be getting 50+mpg daily

    Woah, missed your intro. Welcome to the site! Gotta love the metalic blue.

    We do have an ultra racing group buy going on right now. The rear sway bar really helps with body roll.

    Group Buy: Ultra Racing Chassis Bars...LIVE!


    As for the MPG, I'd probably block off some of your grill. It'll help with aerodynamics. We have a few other mods that guys have done too. You can check them out here:

    Mirage Modifications
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    Welcome! I originally wanted one in blue as well, but I needed a new car ASAP, and the dealer only had black and silver in manual. After working at a car wash and seeing how scratches show on black, I opted for silver.
