The Colt Mirage from Mitsubishi is not up there when you think about modifying a car; it is probably because they very rarely turn up in a condition that could be worked with. However, this is an interesting little car that will provide a keen import builder with a challenge for the winter.

Stick this car away in  the lock up over the winter, spend some cash, well quite a bit of cash and a lot of time and this caterpillar would arise in the spring as a beautiful butterfly spread its new look around and making everyone jealous, well that would be the dream if this car came my way.

Yet that is nothing, the best thing about this car is not the speed or the build, what I like about this is that a few years ago the car was a $600, one hundred horse power machine, with probably with not more life in it. Now its perfect example of what an import builder can do. This Mitsubishi Mirage is currently worth around $60,000! Now that is what you call a bruiser.

Most of what was original on the car has been removed, replaced by top of the range equipment from top to bottom. The idea is perfectly simple, there is nothing quite like gutting a car and rebuilding to you specs. Sure, the original body is there but under is a finely tuned athlete waiting to get out and rip the road to the shreds, somehow that describes this car quite aptly.

TIME AFTER TIME TURBOMAG HAS PROVEN TO WORK, UNLIKE SIMILAR PRODUCTS OF THE PAST. IT TOOK MANY YEARS OF R&D TO PERFECT. TRY TURBOMAG TODAY – YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

HOW DOES TURBOMAG WORK? Untreated Fuel molecules tend to clump together due to attraction between molecules with charges of opposite polarities. This causes an inefficient burn. As a result, your engine experiences loss of power, lower gas mileage and lots of carbon build-up. Turbomags powerful magnetic field causes these clumps of fuel molecules to be charged with a single polarity, thus they repel each other making the fuel disperse more efficiently causing more complete combustion and power production.

Turbomag will actually remove the existing carbon build-up in your engine – this usually takes an average of 3 tanks full of gas, followed by a dramatic increase in gas mileage and horsepower. Turbomag will improve engine performance and helps vehicle start quicker. Stops scale build up and corrosion in engine. Reduce wear on O2 sensor and catalytic converter and also helps pass the emission test This Listing is for Turbomag 6 pack, Turbomag 6 pack includes 6 individual turbomags with 7 cable ties, ideal for multiple cars and trucks
