Dodgy ass Mivek lancer....

Trish · Post by **Trish** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 9:30 am

On my way to work today I noticed a blue Lancer GLXi with a Mivek sticker (just like our ones) on the side of it.

Is that for real??? Are there really Mivek lancers on the road???? Dang!

Spotted it on the way to work tomorrow? Gee that's quite a talent u have there.

I beliebe there are a couple of MIVEC lancers doing the rounds in Australia, but it's possible the one u saw just had a sticker and that's all. From memory, 1.6 litre MIVEC lancers were released in Japan.

Yeah it's too hard to get things straight in the morning. I had a tea instead of the usual coffee this morning and that's enough to throw me off.

There is a dude on the forum with a blue Lancer with a GPX engine in it.

The car doesn't look done up and it's very quick. Can't remember which state he's from though. I'm sure someone will know.

that's HRD2BQT - it runs 14s flat over the qtr mile and looks just like stock standard... what a sleeper.

Yep thats Rove's car (HRD2BQT), & it might look crap to you Trish, but thats the idea of a "Sleeper". So look out, its going woop your ass if u not carefull.

Man... I should watch my back hey... but I should've got the number plate to make sure we're talking about the same car....
If I see it again I'll post it up...

the MIVEC engine in the Lancers are not the same as FTO's... they are 1.6l MIVECs (or 1.8, not sure)...

I have seen a Mirage around Bayswater with a huge Mivec sticker on the back

, I wonder if that for real?

The JDM Mirage Cyborg had 1.6l mivec, but still are great little cars. I'd love to have one to rally in. And they can move there is one up here which is pretty impressive I reckon, a mivec FTO would still pants it though.

i recall they also had a Mirage Cup here in Oz at one stage, all of them had the 1.6l MIVEC engine that came with the car that can be bought and ready to race... damn i wish i had one (think it was 433K + maintenance & parts for the season or something)

there was a mirage in the trading post about 4 months ago with a 1.6l mivec inside it - they wanted about 16 g for it if i remember, but it was well riced up with EVO 5 body gear etc -

The Mivec Lancers are 1.6L DOHC, it had 130kw. Someone was selling one in the trading post about a year back. It was about the same time i brought my FTO. i considered it but i choose the FTOin the end. I test drove one in Hong Kong with my cousin. They are abit slower then the FTO's (0-100). But a fun car to drive.

I spotted this in Sydney... mainly because I look out the windscreen!

MiVEC Mirage

Can any of the Sydney FTO guys spot the plates?
