    What would be your dream modification to your mirage?

    I know I'm a fan of mpg which is what brought me to the mirage, if I could afford a electric car I would drive one. Which brings me to my dream of adding the two things that would be so awesome to my mirage, awd and electric assist.

    It would be amazing if I could retrofit a small solid rear axle from a small rear wheel drive car, possibly a Toyota starlet or something else small, and power it with a electric motor while keeping the added weight under 300lbs. Using enough advanced batteries to power me 6 miles to and from work, and also giving me to ability to power through thick snow and terrible snow covered inclines.


    Just a random idea

    Are we talking impossible/super expensive kind of dream? Or are we talking doable/long term dream?

    Impossible/super expensive: evo+AWD with 4 bucket seats. Stipped interior. Rollcage.
    Doable/long term: Coilovers+built/forged internals+turbo 130hp to the wheels+semi-widebody.

    Larger gas tank, I put on over 3000 miles a month and try to never let the tank go lower than 1/4 full. I would love a few less gas stops throughout the month

    Taller geared manual trans and a kamm back would probably do for me.
    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

    I would vote for the start/stop tech also!

    A local dealership an hour away from me offers lifetime power train warranty actually. Its one of their "advantage" over the rest of the competing dealers.

    A taller 5th gear and auto start stop for USDM Mirage would be awesome!
