    only the "body" is a Mirage

    everything else was replaced

    It's an Evo X chassis on top of Mirage's body.

    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.

    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.
