It's a mirraaaaaagggeeee

Hmm, most of you prolly won't get it, but I meant a mirage as in the whole desert thing.


BTW Havnt seen the vid but I am guessing the Mirage wins. Plus i'm on my friends crappy 56K and don't even wanna bother trying to watch it.

pretty much in agreeance here.

he has some skills and a few fast cars, and he did the work himself it looks like. particularly in the pic with a huge holw in his bumper...

i cant beleive that skyline vid, the dude wasnt even racing, he looked at his passenger and prolly said looki these gays in that ugly mirage....

they think they broke the skyline and they laugh about it too.

i am shaking my head right now.

[WhiteNissanS13]

those kids in that mirage were the stupidest kids ever. i hope his mirage explodes and flips and they die in a fiery pit of hell! &nbsp;or crash into a tree and the car split in half and then eject onto railroad track and get run over by a train. and their annoying laugh i wanna set him on fire.

[RedSuns]

damn kids!!!!!...their laugh was GAY!!!!

[95civicEX]

I just wanted to punch that kid in his throat the whole time, that skyline's for sale on motorex's site....pretty ugly if you ask me

[HippoSleek]

I know of two Mirages that can take down BPU Skylines. &nbsp;So? &nbsp;A Mirage is a lot like a 240sx in some ways.

(too lazy to click on the video that seems to rile everyone so much)

[AKADriver]

Also too lazy to watch the video (and there's no point as I don't have speakers on my work machine)...

The old Mirage hatches from the late '80s/early '90s.. the ones that had Silvia-ish headlights <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> ... they weigh NOTHING and can accept a 4G63 as a bolt-in swap. &nbsp;I'm surprised it's not more popular, I guess because there aren't any visual mods for those cars.

[whateverjames]

they were a little too excite though. i would have let out a wooohooo yaaaa. then i would have realized something majorly happened to his car and i would have turned around to check it out, show some support for the skyline guy. just chat. but nah. they had to keep celebrating that they broke the skyline. &nbsp; &nbsp;i still like the car though. i don't care what anyone says. &nbsp;and hipposleek, i "haven't" seen a fast mirage so it's something new to me. as well as other people.

[bing]

i think that guy in the skyline just looked over and said "homo's" and i dont think he even sped up at all. he probably pulled in the the lot to meet up with people.

i cant beleive those kids put it up on their kill list.

i could beat a skyline on foot if it didnt know i was racing and was behind a slower car too.

[SufSilvia]

wow..... that was just flaming and puthetic.

whatever - that's what I'm talking about. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> &nbsp;Take a look at an early 90's Mirage and an EVO III - just like the s13 vs. the 180 Type-X. &nbsp;A bit of body crap and a motor w/ a snail are the biggest differences. &nbsp;There are a few I've seen w/ the Evo conversion running SCCA rally races. &nbsp;One came to a local track day - Hecka fast! &nbsp;Definately faster than a Skyline w/ the basics.

btw: what's with the "homo" and "ghey" thing? &nbsp;I don't think I've used that as an insult since about 3rd grade. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

[RevteksR32]

Ok first of all i am the owner of the purple R32 that was supposidly racing the mirage, To let everyone know i wasnt racing him, i just recieved the car the car 24 hours before that it is right hand drive and i was just getting used to shifting with my left hand instead of right hand. And secondly i was cruising along when he pulled up next to and revved his engine and then floored it and pulled away from me so i guess by him racing himself and me being next to him he considers that a race. but as soon has i get my car back on the road i will be racing him and when i do i'll post the video of me beating his butt on here

[Mach V Motorsports]

I followed a link.... to another link....[jeez] to ANOTHER link that brought me here........

The guy who owns the Skyline is a stand up guy. I read in another message board where he even stated HE broke his car... &nbsp;Shit happens, you fix it to race another day.
I'm SURE that Skyline will be MORE THAN READY the next time. As fast as those cars are.... Race the Mirage kid in the mile.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Now the kid in the Mirage. &nbsp;I actually met him at the DSM shootout that was hosted by Buschur Racing &nbsp;[www.buschurracing.com] in Norwalk Ohio. &nbsp;
This kid is a decent guy.. Young, but pretty smart.... The kid installed a pretty much stock 4G63, FWD turbo wiring harness and whatnot from scratch.... GRANTED, the car does look a little put together.... But nonethe lass, it's pushing in the realm of 300+ HP.......

There are MANY 4G63 and EVO powered Mirages running around on the East/West/and midwest states........
wwww.4G61t.com.

Yeah, someone here even noticed the similaries in mods that alot of &nbsp;240SX owners do........


240's are related to the Silvias....

89 Mirage TURBO's are the predecessors to the 1G DSM's.

ie: the ONLY thing you have to change when doing a motor swap is the ECU. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'> &nbsp;

I agree, maybe the reaction of this kid AFTER his "race" was a little immature, but regardless, Mirages are REALLLLY fast..

Nate Pharr. a guy out of PA runs an 11 second 4G63 Street Driven Mirage

Nate Tonge [RIP] out of Queens NY used to run an 11 second Mirage. &nbsp;[He was killed in a car accident off of Northern Blvd about 2 weeks ago. &nbsp; &nbsp;


In any case, you guys have a cool ass message board. &nbsp;
Best of luck in all your endeavors with your cars .


And for you cats in Yonkers...... Are they still running on the Sprain Brook Pkwy offa Jackson Ave? &nbsp;[I'm originally from G-Burgh]

Can't believe this thread has been brought from the dead. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

The Mirage owner was alittle to happy from what he did which was basically floor it for a good 10 seconds. &nbsp;Still can't believe he called it a race or claiming he bet the Skyline, its just a tad bit annoying. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

As for the Skyline owner, nice car but lose the yellow stickers on the side. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;I know you can bet this guy no problem.

Does ANYONE make a Skyline bodykit for your car...

I looked for HOURS on the net, but came up with jack.

Yea they make the bumper and the wing (R33 style). As for the sides your stuck with Nismo sides if you want the car to flow nice.

The bumper you can find at Wholesale Hyperfromance (http://www.wholehyper.com) and some other places (too tired to post the links <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> )

As for the wing, I really can't help you there the closet thing is the Bomex Type 7.

As for the sides there everywhere....well knock-offs atleast. Checkout Import Fan (http://www.importfan.com) just to name one.

Oh yea the bumper is the VIS Omega, the sides..well the knock-off is made by VIS also...its called Techno R.

[Mach V Motorsports]

Thanks for the reply... I checked @ importhyperformance. Importfan....But not into the Nismo &nbsp;fenders.......


Thanks

That's cool, I'm not in the R33 look..unless it was an actual R-33. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

What 240 are you thinking about getting.....actually maybe you should PM...before it gets locked or moved &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
