If you're a car guy or girl this channel is for you. We focus on the cars world from car show, project car , drifting, road racing and what really put us on the map our short films. The best way to explain our short films is if The Smoking Tire and Petrolicious RU-vid channels made love and had a baby called CARS ONBOARD.

Creator Alex Shaw: I've been filming video's for over 15 years now and I still love and strive to get better with every video. It all started with my high school friends and want to make skateboard videos.
MANY things in this video had me cringing but it served it's purpose. I now know what the parts look like and what I DON'T want to do. The aluminum on mine is expanding due to corrosion, so I won't even attempt disassembly. I'm going to cut the parts out, carefully, with a Dremel Tool. The Dremel Tool is one of the top greatest tools of all time!
There were some ground effects & actually a solid filler panel for the grille. I would remove the Lexus badge myself on this I did a black grill on mine with red outline TOYOTA badge.
Now I can see the beautiful heart of this Mirage!! Absolutely beautiful!! I think building a Mirage like this is fun & the result brings a lot of good emotions!!😊 Posting this also to my page cause don't wanna loose the video, I collect all outstanding videos about Japanese cars!!😊✈️🇯🇵🏁☘️
I like this Mirage!! I agree with you - if you love the car then go ahead & build it!! And I wonder how one could call Mirage lame, it's not even close to lame☝️😌 I'm going to post this to my page!!☝️😊✈️🇯🇵🏁☘️☀️
go ahead and replace the upper and lower control arms too while you are there. Yo have to get an alignment after the shocks are in and if the truck is older they wont do that with busted up control arm bushings. Just replace the whole arms, it is easier.
Thank you for sharing. I had a Pop & Lock installed over 15 years ago and it's now inoperable. Because of your video, I think that this "woman of a certain age" will be able to remove and replace it.
Don’t connect to fuse box in the engine bay. I was able to fish my ignition wire through the firewall into the cab using thin wire using the path that the hood pop cable goes through. Then just solder back on the red end and take out the ignition 15 put it in that adapter in the red wire and plug it into the same spot where the ignition 15 amp fuse went. Boom! Also the set I just got had the optional change from white DRL to amber. I for sure changed to amber. Looks amazing!
2012 through 2015 takes a completely different kit. I have a 2013 and the kit is AUER Automotive #TTA-312 (halogen) and you can get an LED #TTA-812 also.
Great job just what I need. I do have a camera too. I had just installed a tonneau cover then discovered NO LOCK!!! so what security did I have? ZERO !! so this helps. I may also add a chain on inside for a quick release to give extra security Thanks again man!
How are the Denso iridium spark plugs doing? I just upgraded to denso iridium plugs too. I got alot of flack on toyota 2nd gen. forum to only use oem copper plugs.
Removing the front sway bar end link and the upper ball joint is way easier and faster than pulling the long inner bolt and taking down the sway bar bracket. Been doing it that way for 25 years. Hasn't failed me yet.
from experience, the nbs do not have the bracket. that i think is the only difference. just to spell it out the bottom bolt needs to be removed from the front of the car. i had to remove the plastic underbody cover to access it and then used an 8" extension with a 14mm socket and a 12 mm wrench to hold the nut, which is on the rear side of the starter. the other two top bolts are 12mm and accessible from the rear side, youll just have to feel around and feed the socket from under and guide it with your other hand. you'll also need to disconnect the two electric connections from the solenoid, one can be done by hand the other takes a 1/2 inch wrench or socket if you position the starter once it's been freed from it's mounts.
Any suggestions on how to break off the clips that are placed within the wheel well housing that you were describing as difficult to get to? Currently replacing my antenna but cannot get those fender clips off.
