Cool Im back.. But this time im actually in a working car!

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been gone for so long.. So since I've been gone for almost a year, I'll fill everyone in on what happened. I totaled my 4th gen max in 2011. Got a 280zx project, made no progress and it just felt like I was making things worse, so I sold it so it could be restored properly. With the money, I bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage coupe from a friend's friend in august to get to work.

When I got it:



How it is now:



(don't mind the horrible chrome altezzas, I got a ticket for tinted tails and these were cheaper than stock so I had to make them work)

Its only a 1.5L.. No power windows/locks/anything, 5 speed, and 198,000 miles. Since then I have put 15,000 miles on it and the clutch has almost completely stopped working, the engine sounds like I threw a bunch of miscellaneous nuts and bolts in the oil, the exhaust is leaking so bad that whenever it is cold, you can see the exhaust coming out by the drivers side door instead of the rear bumper, and it feels like it maybe has 22hp left of the 98 it comes with stock. It was only $500 though, and the only money I put into it was $400 for the rims, and my sub system(going into my new car) so it is what it is..

But now onto the new car news... My awesome grandma had read about some of my issues with the mitsu on facebook, so for christmas she suprised me by giving me her 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5s. Heres the only pic I have of it, for now.. And yes, those are my stock alloys from my old 4th gen max

Don't sleep on Mirage's. Although this one's a coupe, look up Mirage to Evo conversion. These things can be made into AWD Evo IV to VI replicas. At the very least, a 4G63 FWD can be swapped in.

lol some mirages can be pretty sick but mine is FAARRRR from that haha. but the altima still needs some work, i probably wont have it running well until i get my tax return, but im putting some fogs on it now, and im gonna try to joeymod the headlights, just because thats some stuff ive had laying around so i figured why not lol. and yea, my grandma got an isuzu rodeo and didnt need the altima anynore and figured id fix it up to how it sould be so her 'awesome meter' instantly shot up to like 500,000. and my shocker was just for the lolz. ive got all those stickers and the rims and absolutely nothing to back it up but a 1.5 liter motor with 213,000 miles on it haha
