    Does it help any with lumbar support? The beads?

    I like to exercise Florida is very muggy. I put in some neoprene seat covers to protect my upholstery and they made me hotter than the regular seat. I didn't notice getting a sweaty back until I added the covers. The beads definitely helped. Haven't figured out how to keep them tied in perfectly. I need to add a few strings to what came with it.

    I don't think so. It the beads just follow the contour of the seat. Some ads say the beads 'massage' as you drive, but I haven't noticed it.

    I used to use those in my works bread delivery van...unless you bounce up and down in the seat, nope no massage here But they did help a lot with circulation. Didn't last too long though, they all seem fairly flimsy in construction.

    I tightened the Generator belt in the Pumpkin today. When I started it after sitting a day or 2, it sounded like the whole engine was going to explode with rattling noises when the A/C clutch engaged. It felt tight to me, but I used Foama's "Pluck Test" https://mirageforum.com/downloads/mi...king-sound.mp3 & it didn't sound the same. I tightened it some to make it sound the same as his recording & WOW, no more rattle Thanks Lots, Foama.
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    Good to know you got things sorted out. That ‘pluck’ test is actually recommended by Mitsubishi and can be found in the Service Manual.

    I finally broke the 500km barrier, which at least to my dealer should be enough to properly "brake-in" the engine. Taking things slow until 1000km (~620miles). I was also advised by my dealer that I do not need an oil change at the first 1000 or so kilometers and that the 15000km target for service would suffice. Comment anyone?

    My ebay order arrived today and I was able to get rid of the bright whit side markers. Looks much better I think.

    What you did looks fine. I however, have no issue with the bright white Euro blinker. I think they look good as delivered.

    Those look like the ones I put on my Mirage. Mine has the turning signals on the mirrors but the chrome blank in the fender still has the unused fender marker wiring attached to the blank chrome plug. Just plug and play but mine also display a sequential led turning signal instead of just flashing. I like it!!!!
