tapos the Mirage platform is really bad, this car will only be good for drag racing.

They should use Lancer instead. It will some have clearance issues on the transmission. The V6 engine has more power than the existing engine, although it is heavier.

No it's actually not.

Check out the suspension orientation. It's completely different from the Evo X which uses conventional upright struts. On the Mirage R5 the shocks are actually angled backwards. It's a completely new bespoke design that has little to do with the Evo X aside from the Engine.

No Evo X shell here

I'm sure the Evo X strut tower isn't angled like this

Even the front struts are angled backwards. From a full on side view this is even more pronounced.

I've just figured, there's no Evo X floorpan and other parts there.. This is more like the GR Yaris and their rally versions. They took a Yaris chassis with some modifications and to adapt AWD.

Someday if Mitsubishi will response to Toyota's GR Yaris to create the ultimate Mirage...(Mirage Evo?)

Ready na para sa unang service ng bagong luma. Iyong brake fluid pang flush sa shop na lang kukunin.

DIYer dream engine bay. Madaling maabot ang service items. 70s/80s vibe iyong airbox snorkel, parang sa di-karburador.

Banawe shopping ulit.

NS40 yang battery mo? Wala bang issue kung undersized at naka-CVT?

Yes tama, N40 battery size. 1 click start naman, no issues sa CVT, alternator malamang nagdadala.

Xpander 4AT namin naka N40 din from factory, no issue din sa 4AT.

bakit daw kaya?

in my former cars,
when it came time to replace the battery, i would replace it with the next smaller size (if one such were available).
wala namang pagbabago sa battery life at sa starting power.
and yes, the battery is just to start the engine. once running, the alternator provides the electricity for everything.battery also provides trickle current for the toys when engine isn't running.

Dati sa amin kung anong maximum battery na kasya sa tray. Kunwari iyong Innova gas na maliit ang battery, pang diesel Innova ang pinalit.

Ngayon parang okay na minimum size na maayos pa rin ang start, para mas mura at less weight na dadalhin.

=====

Mga 1 week na din halos dala ang HB. Mas relaxing i drive sa errands. Okay sa makipot na daan, madaming allowance sa parking at maliit ang U turn. NVH niya mas tahimik kaunti sa base Mobilio. Mas malambot din upuan at suspension (comapred ulit sa aking base reference), kaya mas relaxed. Hindi matalbog or malikot sa likod. Loose nga ang steering or hindi gaanong direct ang response, possible siguro dahil may wear and tear na din sa suspension sa mid 20K. Okay pa naman ang stance kung 3 kaming maliit ang sakay. Average nga ang aircon hindi super lamig. Sakto space sa amin harap likod na below 5'5".

Iyong droning engine na sinasabi se reviews ay ito iyong parang bbrrrrrtttt sound sa slight acceleration ng mga 1.5k to 2k rpm. Medyo sporty naman ang dating sa akin hehe. Nakaka irita siguro kung sanay sa tahimik na makina. Madali naman maabot ang 60-80 kph sa mga 2K-2.5k rpm. Mukhang 80 pataas ang hirap. Sa ngayon mababa na 10kpl ang nakukuha, light weekend traffic. Expected sana nasa 12kpl.

Kapal ng body panels parehas din sa Mobiliio or Innova.

Tahimik? Hindi kaya pina sound deadening na yan ng previous owner?
