Pictures of stuff you haul in your Mirage / G4 / Space Star

[highwire]

All 3 passenger headrests removed. Front passenger seat slid forward all the way and reclined all the way. Front passenger window rolled down all the way.

[highwire]

you can add a compact washing machine to this list. Less than 2.4cu ft - this is a standard dimension approximately 24" width, 25." depth, and 34.5" height. Of the current models sold in stores, only a Samsung has a slightly larger depth that I haven't measured for, but this is a Whirlpool.

26 17/27 inches depth for Samsung WW22K6800AW
Mine is 25.25" depth
As the pictures show though, there does appear to be an extra inch on top, so it might just fit that model too if it faces up or down- possibly even sideways as mine is- with caution not to damage the front or bottom.

Alex what caused that damage on your front fender? my used mirage came with that sort of damage and i was wondering how it occurs?

About 600lbs of scrap 11 miles driven round trip $19 payout, took about 2 hours, lots of fun lol. I would do it for costs, I enjoy recycling metal.

I was at 3200lbs total weight which I could barely tell was there.

Normally when driving for uber I have to keep up with speed limits and the flow of traffic to avoid a bad rating from passengers. 4 large passengers and 1 large driver and I'm easily over 1,000lbs inside, close to 3,000lbs total weight, 3,000 lbs total vs 3,200 with trailer consisting of over 700lbs of it, the mirage drives 100 times better with the trailer.

Alex sold his Mirage so I'm not sure if he lurks around the forum much these days.

Ready for my trip to the local dump tomorrow. Got a bunch of old insulation in there, some old kitchen cupboards, my new sharp tv box, and under that there is a wheelbarrow with no wheel flipped upside down. I have used all the cargo space available lol

I managed to stuff a front door, rear door, fender, headlight and way too many tools into the back of a Mirage. Getting the front door inside the car was a multi step process but once in I was able to push the front seat all the way back and fit comfortably. Getting it back out was harder. I'll post pics later. I vaguely remember someone trying to fit parts into one of these cars before but I can't remember the outcome. Attachment 24724Attachment 24725

I used a 2017 Mirage with 84,000km(52,000miles) and it was a pig on fuel!
Used 21 liters to go 250km which worked out to 8.4l/100km or 28mpg. I was doing 119kph(as per gps) on the way there and slightly faster on the way back, I think it got better coming back but still pretty horrible compared to what I usually get in town. I used cruise the entire time. At 74mph(119kph)rpm usually hung around 3000rpm but varied between 2800 and 3500. It was a little windy but I wasn't getting pushed around.

Aren't those really high rpm for a CVT on the highway? Both my CVT rentals were about 22xx or so travelling about 120kmh on the hiway. Same speed as you but much lower revs. I wonder what gives? Oh, also, what brand lift is that your Mirage is sitting on? It would fit my shop nicely. Electric, hydraulic or a combo?

I can't remember what's normal for that speed? Cold, speeding, wind and winter tires weren't helping things I guess. I was begining to wonder if everyone else speedometer was off as well cause the only vehicle I came across that was doing close to my speed was a Ford cutaway shuttle bus with North Carolina plates on it.

The hoist is a Bendpak. It works great. It's electric over hydraulic I guess? Plug the hydraulic pack into the wall and connect the hose to the lift. It's semi-mobile. You can move it around but it's heavy. My garage is tiny 20x21(interior) with 9 1/2 '(iirc) ceiling and the hoist lifts everything to a nice working height for doing brakes or suspension work. I bought it to make life easier when the time came to replace my cvt but it came 6 months too late. The heaviest thing I've lifted was either a 2012 Grand Caravan or 2020 V6 awd Sorento. I have it plugged into a 15amp ciruit and it's never tripped a breaker yet. Dims the lights though...
I haven't seen a lift like this that's ALI certified, there are other styles that are.

Amazon has this for $3600. Similar to yours but I've no idea of the quality.

I had this tool box in the back along with a pair of 9" wide x 78" long aluminum ramps. The toolbox is 61" wide, about 22" tall and nearly 19" deep. I just managed to close the hatch.



My plan is to mount the toolbox on the tongue with a sturdy quick release so I can shift the toolbox to my other trailer if needed.
