Forum names explained.
first car forum a joined focused on the different models of Mitsubishi mirage (talk about cross pollination)
as with many car scenes, the big thing to do was spend tons of money to have your car look a certain way
well, I was young and didn't have a ton of money so instead of ordering from a catalogue and paying someone to install and paint it I had to use the Do It Yourself approach , hence DIYmirage
after that, I just kept the name on whatever forum I went
and in case your wondering, here she is
1995 Mitsubishi mirage
front bumper grafted on from a 94 eclipse
hood scoops from a Subaru impresa
aftermarket side skirts pulled from a 97 eclipse
you get the idea
oh, and just to show you how much I like backyard car building, here is an opel I owned before that
