    Midnight's Little Red 'Rage

    Well as some of you guys know, I've not been having the best of luck with my galants lol. I had to get rid of my second one because everything started to fail on me and I just couldn't keep up. One of my best friends gave me his 94 4g mirage es because he bought a '13 Impreza. HOPEFULLY I have better luck with this little coupe lol.







    My biggest concern is that roof. From what ive read, the only way to really fix it would be to cut out the roof and put in a new one :/

    But so far its been a peppy little car, and can take a corner way better then my 8g's ever did...when it finally has enough speed lol

    I wanna turn this Rage into a fun little rally style evo coupe. Its got a great selection for suspension and bracing plus the power of implanting a older 4g63. Hopefully I can finally get Cody's help getting some rims, Cali's help for CF, and any other help from you guys (cause I will always be a newb lol)

    Nice car bro! Welcome to the DSM game.

    Roof is fine tho, no need to cut it. I say sand it down to metal, bondo the pits then sealer primer and high build primer. It will look like new again

    ya, it's not completely gone yet. follow MKO's advice.

    we had another member on here with the same car. swapped a 7G 4g64 in it. It's a massive boost in HP/TQ

    I'm having a bit of a problem. When I'm at idle or at a stop, it starts to feel like it wants to stall out and I have no tach. I've replaced the spark plugs, wires, dizzy, and also tried adjusting the biss screw.

    I had a 5g coupe and it was pretty decent little car. I have a build thread on it. But i ended up selling it cause it needed more work and it was worth and i was hoping to get into another 8G. Kinda wish i still had it.
    Currently on my 3rd 8G... Not giving up this time!
