New Flash For BBYEVO!

Re-Flashed the Mirage today:  Updates were added for more fuel and RPM.  Added a ton of fuel (e85) above 5000 at WOT.  Seems to run even better, and with some other minor tweaks, no more CEL!  That made my day.  That pesky thing has been on for one thing or another since 2001.  I hope to get some screen shots of the flash maps to add to the site.  I will have all versions of flash upgrades for the Mirage available for those who need it.

Hopefully I will have pics (screenshots) soon.  Also for inquiring minds, the key to flashing the Mirage ECU in some cases is the removal of the wire going to pin 9 of the DLC (light blue).  This wire seems to cause an interference on some cars, not all.  I am doing some research to find out why that may be.

What's New?

It's been a long time since a good update to the site, so here goes.  Eric's car was finally shipped to him back in California.  This was after a fun time had by all while he was out to vist.  His visit included a dyno-day at Die_Hard Motives in Colorado Springs with a small group of friends.  We had three Mirage's, one EG hatch, and an ION Redline.  The Redline was the big surprise of the day with 236whp.  Next was Zeke's Turbo G93 with 178whp, my G93 with 110whp, and Erics Mirage and Zumpy's EG shy of the century mark.  Overall we were pleased.  All numbers were uncorrected at 6500ft.  Eric gained over 20whp from his previous dyno session, showing that all of our efforts did some good!

After all of the fun was over, we packed up Eric for his journey home.

So, what's next?  It has been a whirlwind of miscellaneous projects over the past few months.  We have continued on with Zeke's Mirage, aiming for the next level with the addition of an intercooler and misc other goodies.  My car has recieved a street tune on e85, stepping up the game a notch, we yanked the GZE from Leif's MISTER2, and dropped the Kbomb on yet another hatch! 

It seems to always be something around here.  Race season is rapidly aproaching, and with such a short time for preparation, we need to stick with working on our performance goals ahead.

Performance goals ahead for bbyevo include a larger intake manifold, bigger intake, and throttle body, higher compression, and I'm contemplating a 50shot of the giggle gas!  Who knows where I'll go in the long run.  Hope for a new photo shoot inmail. the near future.  Hope to host a meet soon, so anyone interested, drop a line, leave a message, or send an e-mail

New Wheels!

Got the new wheels installed on Eric's Mirage today.  Look great!  The pictures came out horrible, since my Blackberry was acting up and wouldn't focus.  Also the hood was restored and buffed.

It Lives!!!

Got the Mirage fired up and running.  Drove it to the car wash and got her shined up, and dropped her off at the shop in order to have some finishing touches done this week.  Here are a few new pics as of today, enjoy!

Here We Come!!!

As of today the car is almost completed.  I was able to put on some finishing touches under the hood, and fire her up for the first time since June 2011.  She runs, and boy does she run good.  When the car was dropped off, it had a huge stumble off the line (amongst other large downfalls) due to issues caused by Justin Merrill at Merrill Performance in San Diego, CA. , now she seems to get a small amount of wheelspin leaving the line even at partial throttle.  Not all is well though, as the alignment is way off and the car tracks horribly due to that and tire wear, but will be corrected this week by the time Eric comes to get the car.  Tomorrow we (Zeke and I) will wrap up a few more things by taking her out for a good wash and wax, and hopefully drop her at the shop so the exhaust can get repaired this week prior to Eric's arrival.  Pictures to come once she is all cleaned up and ready to rock.
