My first car was a manual 1994 Geo Metro xfi, darn near the same color as the Miragei now own. I get near identical mileage but the Mirage has alot more pep in its step. I originally bought it for my wife because she is always driving all over the place and saved a ton of money on gas compared to my 2001 pathfinder. I quickly fell in love with this little car and bought her a 2002 seville that I am almost done fixing up(just have an issue with the secondary air system to fix for emissions purposes) At that point the Mirage will be all mine and I am very interested in 1. Giving it a bit more pep because faster is always funnier. 2. Upgrading the suspension for obvious reasons. 3. Giving this car a more "tuner" styled look. I'm sadly disappointed in the North American accessibility to all these amazing bodykits, intakes, headers and so on that I have been drooling over as I watch and rewatch these youtube videos from the phillipines. Looking forward to possibilities and having some fun with this "Micro Machine"
