Absolutely amazing, I say! After almost a year of setbacks and let downs, finally, these have changed. I've been a proud owner of an 89' Mirage turbo since March of last year. In buying the car, I ran into all the problems that the previous owner had with it. I spent way more than I wanted just to get it running, and from there were some mechanical faults that almost took my life. My nervs are completely frazzled now, and I have a grave respect for things being in order.

So, after much a due, I am ready to drive again. I'm so stoked about this!! :supz:

It's a celebration, Y'all !!

:lol: I think I am totally justified here when I say this....No shit!

65 Miles on the clock today. That's more than it's drove in the last year!! :o

It's on to tuning the car now. Troubleshooting time, I guess. Timing is off or some sensor is not right.

Fixed a couple problems with the car. Besides still being an open exhaust, it's driving as it should be now.

Spun the tires in second gear today.....made me go "Woah!"

210 miles and zero problems.

Filled up the tank today, and even the Colt, too. Expecting some nasty snow storms in the next week, but I could care less.

The Mirage is running PERFECT.....and though I thought there would be quite a few glitches with drivability, I've got it down to the knock sensor which I wired incorrectly. No problem!

Nice man! Try to post up a video of you doing a few pulls, so we can all see how well it is running. :twisted:

As soon as I can borrow a digicam from a friend, I will.
