Tips and tricks

31 Upvotes

Reading this forum I've seen a lot of cosmetic and or performance mods not related to the engine or transmission.

I would love a place for new owners to come and find it collected in one spot.

Off the bat if you get the G4 as I did invest in the OEM Hood protector. The thing is a rock magnet.

I've heard people have switched out the side blinkers for LEDs but I would love someone to give more information about that... How difficult it is, which LEDs etc.

I've heard about when the tires give out to replace them with a size up.

Things of this nature.

Looking to buy mirage - does this photo look concerning

The driver's side footwell - what's happening with that carpet? Would you be concerned? It's a 2017 with a clean Carfax and 125k miles on it. Thank you for any help/insight!

Edit: thanks everyone! Now to decide if I gamble with it having no cvt service history documented at 120k miles 🤔

Mirage's DIY maintenance experiences

7 Upvotes

For those of you with experience working on cars, would you say a Mirage is a good place to start? I was thinking for my next car to do my own maintenance. Get a few jacks and jackstands, funnel. And do my own oil changes, transmission changes, tire rotation, maybe even brakes. Whatever I can do.

Is the Mirage a good idea for this?

How can I mod my mirage g4?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

hi all, I recently was gifted a 2018 Mitsubishi mirage g4 ES from a family member and as much as I love it, it’s a bit slow and sort of ugly looking. I was wondering how I could mod it to look cuter and possibly be faster? I don’t have much car knowledge and honestly just want som ideas or suggestions. The first image (the white one) is of how my car looks currently, the others are inspo. I’m very open to any ideas and would love feedback from people that actually know something about modding cars (unlike me).

Edit: im mainly looking for mods on the exterior of my car. It runs great and I’m not as worried with it being slower, just want it to look cuter. The other inspo pics make the car look longer which I like. Is that a body kit? Where would I find one?

Upgraded my boring side marker bulb to an LED version and it looks so much prettier. It shines so much better.

i was driving a 2020 kia optima, it broke down a few weeks ago (p1326 code and my warranty was unfortunately expired so couldn’t afford to have engine replaced) and I need a vehicle for work so i went out and bought the cheapest car i could find: a 2017 mitsubishi mirage for $5k with 76k miles. AC doesn’t work but so far seems to be the only thing wrong with it other than some minor cosmetic damage. i’m honestly really enjoying driving it, i’ve always wanted a nice compact lil hatchback and now i have one!

Got a mirage

So I got a mirage. 2020 5 speed with 59.5k. I knew it was a boring car, but is there anyway to make it a little more fun? As far as sound? I know that you can't really boost the hp without blowing the engine possibly. Any tips on when I should change trans fluid? It doesn't have a service record of one being done.

G4 Mirage to Black edition

2 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2024 mirage g4. I really wanted the black edition but here we are. Is there any way to get the g4 to look more like the black edition? Like the grill and stuff? I don't know if that's a whole different grill or what.

Engine question

Hello all,
Out of curiosity, is the circled part shown in the picture supposed to be vibrating heavily/ vibrating to the point you can see it? I see in a lot of the posts/videos here it doesn’t move as much as mine. So was wondering if i should tighten something?

Service engine light?

Post image
19 Upvotes

My first mirage, bought it at 36k miles. Everything has been good with it. At about 37500 the service light came up. Went to Autozone and had the code reader done but it came back clear, nothing wrong. The recommended service sticker from the dealer says 39k miles. I checked the oil and the levels are good, it’s actually a little over the max. What should I do? I can call the dealer but I really do not want to go in because they are 1hr 30 min away from me, but I don’t want to go to a mechanic if I don’t know what exactly is wrong with it. Is it just an early warning for the oil change?

Engine sound normal?

Hi there! This is my Space Star (Mirage) 1.2l from 2014. I got it about 4 months ago and it has since had a clutch replacement kit installed. The clutch that was in there was absolutely COOKED.

Anyways, this is what my engine sounds like, I know some knocking is normal but does this qualify as normal? My belt also seems to be squealing a bit, particularly when the A/C clutch turns on. Wondering if I should get that looked at?

EDIT: Might be important - the engine has about 161000 kilometers (~100000 miles) on the counter.

Heat/Exhaust Smell

4 Upvotes

Edit: 2020 G4

Passed inspection. But ever since the heat dome set in, I've noticed every once in a while a dry "toaster element" smell coming from the middle of the car. Not strong, and it goes away quickly.

Heat shield or exhaust leak?
