[AUS] 03 Mitsubishi daily Mirage

[The_Giefster]

Hey guys,

I'm Ryan from Sydney, Australia.

Here is my stock standard 2003 Mitsubishi Mirage with an awesome 4G15 lol. I am on here to make the Mirage an awesome stanced daily! As the Evo is becoming a bit tedious to drive everyday.

And here is my 2004 Evolution 8MR that I have had for the last 3 years.

The Evo at Mt Panorama in Bathurst. 15/10/2011





The Evo at the top of the mountain in Orange. 16/10/2011

Well my new wheels have arrived! 15x8 +/- 0 steelies with 185/55 rubber.





Going to look good when they are on the car!

But oh noes!!



I went to test fit the new wheels today and I got sent the wrong stud pattern!

I asked for 4x100 not 4x114.3!!!!

Rage!!!





So looks like it will be a while longer while I get replacement wheels.

Then this happened.

New coilovers are in!

They are BC red coilovers.





Getting the old struts out. My mate is helping me here.



Size difference.



Old vs New ride height!

Old


New


The Mirage handles sooo much better now! No longer a wallowing boat!

More updates to come when I get the steelies back!

Cant wait to see it with the wheels on!

[The_Giefster]

If anyone has some car stickers that they dont need/want let me know. I am making up a stickered lip for the Mirage!

Cant wait to see the next update, looking forward to the wheels

BTW What do you have done to the Evo?

Where did you get the steelies from? I saw one of these riding on te37s (well that style anyway, i only spotted it in traffic) they actually look pretty rad riding flush

[Pantyraider]

say no to sticker bombing! otherwise I'm interested to how this will turn out

Update!

[The_Giefster]

My hub rings arrived today! So now I can put the wheels on!



Outside Diameter 67.1mm
Inside Diameter 56.1mm



The purpose of the hub ring is to centre the wheel on the hub. Not on the wheel nuts.

Without a hub ring.


And with the hub ring on!


My wheel is finally on!


Got poke?


I only did the front wheels as I will need some suspension tweaks on the rear. So I left the fronts on and took the hub caps off the stock rear wheels!





I'm looking forward to getting everything sorted!

That's gonna need alot of camber and rolling to let it sit nice, but looking forward to see what you will do with it.

[xispaki]

much better with those wheels

love the new wheels, but yeah - a lot of work to fit them proper, probably more stretch will be needed!
