Yes, I have them greased/oiled. This is kind of an experiment to see how they would hold up if I bought a pricier set.

I do not drive very far so I am hoping they stay in good shape.

Megan Tracks. I got them for a very reasonable priced slightly used. I made a low offer and the guy took it.

I expect nothing from these so I must say I am happier then I expected so far. We'll see how they do.

These things are purely a learning experience. I can say already that I would get high spring rates and still daily drive it. These are 12k and they are fine. Heck they're as good or better then stock.

12k on the soft setting are pleasant enough. We'll go for a ride. Maybe we can meet up at one of those Scooby meets. I think they meet in the winter?
Blasphemy, I know.

the old evo's and the mirage's are actually on the same chassis.

Hmm, I'm going to bet that cops may not be as stupid as you think. And why would they ever question a RHD car?

So your not just drving a car that could get you arrested anytime you take it out but, your also defrauding the insurance company.

Let me give you a sound piece of advice. #1 IF you are doing something illegal or THINKING of doing something illegal the number one rule is?

DON"T TELL PEOPLE! (on a public forum no less)



I'm not hating on anything different. I'd love to see one of those around. Just seems like you might want to think this one thru alittle better.

i thought you were going to say 'not to do it!'

but yeah, the cops in the north hills, at least, would def give you isht about a rhd car. and have nothing better to do with their time. except play on their cpu's surfing the net. heck, i bet they could google the car and finger it out all by themsevles.
