    Useful quote at 1:58 in the video:

    I can't believe it's not getting stuck.
    Sliding around on the grass is fun but Johnny Mullet takes it to the next level.

    The MIVEC 1.2L can really take a beating. Great little engine.

    I have an unfounded feeling the MIVEC 1.2 can took ungodly levels of boost before it grenades. Not in stock form, but with intelligent precautions applied. O-ring the heads, upgraded oil pump, possible oil gallery work. How many main bearings in it? Cross-bolted?

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    Deep web crank, 4 mains, stiffener. I wonder what the crank is? forged? steel? 300+ hp perhaps?

    ???

    300+ hp?? Can't tell if you're serious or joking.

    And what is a 'deep web crank'? Does it have anything to do with the internet?

    Why not in stock form? The vid just showed the regular Mirage can take a beating, no need to mess with it lol.

    Add high level of boost to an engine and the additional stressors can go exponential. From what I read somewhere. A site I can't cite because I forgot to bookmark it . :0
