This is the 2.6 petrol engine.
It has 2 balancer shafts,
how are the supposed to be lined up ?
There are no timing marks, is it with the keyways or the chain or something ?
Nobody here seems to know.
Thanks
Daniel

Hi
My dad's just bought a 1991 Colt 1.5 Automatic. Now, bless him, he's a bit old and forgetful, so I want to fit central remote locking for him. Any tips or pointers, i.e. parts required, cost, difficulty etc. I'm in the UK.
Cheers
Chrissiesue

We have a 00 Mirage, with 89K and I was thinking its about time to do the timing belt and water pump agree?
I need a service manual I believe, so I just got a cheapie one on CD from ebay, hope that will do.
Any advice or hints prior to my beginning this process. Is it that much of a PITA?

2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
We're being told the catalytic converter needs to be replaced, they want $800+ plus for part and work. I can see they sell for a couple hundred online. Question, is it very difficult to replace a catalytic converter?
Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hello. I try to get most of my parts from junk yards whenever possible, and accidentally stumbled on a colt that was a year younger. What other cars and years can I use for parts on my 1995 mitsu mirage LS coup. Thanks

i have a 94 eagle summit with a 1.5 and a 5 spd. i changed the timing belt a couple months ago. about a couple weeks ago, i hear a chattering noise coming from the trans, i think. i can rev the engine freely without any noise, thus the reason i think it is the tranny. when it is over half throttle while driving down the road, i hear the chattering. i am not sure what it is.
anybody have any ideas or comments, please let me know.
thanks

I was getting a single click when I turned the key. I changed the starter but nothing.
Do these cars have an inertia switch? Where is it located? Any other Ideas? Could be the ignition switch but there seems to be a reaction to what I think is the starter clicking. 90 colt 1.5 Thanks

Just bought a 2001 Mirage. Every time I start the car it wants the radio code, which I have. The previous owner can not help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It seems like everyone in this area wants to take an Eclipse or Lancer engine and swap it into their mirage. Well if your asking for help go do a search first. Save yourself time. Then if you need help after that or other questions then post them. Sorry gets a little annoying.
You'll most likely have to find a JDM Evo engine anyways to do the swap to get what you want out of it. So thats going to be hard if you dont have $1500-$3000 for the engine alone. Sorry just thought id put that out there.

Ok... so I'm new to the Mitsubishi scene and would like to gear up our 2000 Mirage. Does anyone have any idea what motor I could swap into my 2000 Mirage to replace the current 1.8 SOHC. Be realistic. I'm not looking to make a track car. Having to make modifications isn't a problem, but the fewer the better. Thank you,
-Frost

hey i was planning on doing an exhaust system on my mirage pretty soon but it seems that there really arent any full cat back systems. so, is it possible to use a universal cat back and muffler and still get increased performance? also, if that is possible what are the best ones that you guys recommend? im also not looking for a ricey sound on the muffler...Thanks!

Hi.....
Im using the Mobil 1 5w-50 on my 2000 Mirage DE, and the mechanic told that it will be good for 12k miles..
Now it has 5k miles and the color of the oil has turned very dark (dark brown) and the level of the oil has decresased to the minimum.
I would like to know what kind of oil would you recommend me for my ride (105k miles), because here in Chile this is not a common car and the places where you can get your oil changed dont have information about it.

Looks like somebody changed the factory standard connector block on my 96 colt to fit a pioneer keh-1300, does anybody have or know where i can find the details on the wiring harness for the stereo, what colour does what. I can't find a workshop (haynes) manual for the car. I'm trying to fit a new head unit with an iso connector block on the back. I can get an iso to block to lots of spade connectors so i should be able to use that once i know what the wires coming from the car match up to!
Thank you all

Howdy. This is my first post on this forum. I recently just bought my 2000 Mirage DE. I put an ALPINE head unit in. CDA-9851 and I'm thrilled with it. Of course I'm looking to replace the factory speakers. I'm confused as to what size of speakers are my options. Am I limited to just one size of speakers, or is it up to a certain dimension. It would help me out a ton if someone could tell me the speaker dimensions for my 2000 mirage DE, so i know what my options are. Also, does the bigger the speaker size usually mean better? I ask because the guy @ best buy told me just one measurement for speaker size, but cruthfield tells me several size options that will, "fit my car" and reccomends the larger, 6.75'' speakers
In short, if someone could tell me the dimension options for my front and rear speaker it would help me out a ton
Also, anybody have any thing to say about putting a changer in my trunk. I'm thinking about putting a 6 disc alpine mp3 changer in, but not sure if anyones run into problems with such an install.
Thank you much.
