i have a 02 mirage 1.5L auto de coupe, that i have been drivin to work the past couple of years and thought it was about time time fix it up a little, currently i have small audio upgrades and tinted windows, i was wanting to maybe lower it about 1"-1 1/2" with a different wheel and tire to make it look a little better, it currnetly has the stock 14's w/ stock tires. i know the car is no sports car, but is there any way to get a minor amount of power upgrade out of it? i have cut the muffler off, but was thinkin i need to at least put some straight through pipe on it?? also i think it will be time for a newtrans soon, after running for a long time especially if being hard on it driving really fast it will hessitate on shifting, some times you need to let up on so it will shift, i know it will never be really powerful and fast but just wanted a all around better running, drivind, and looking dd. thanks in advance it currently has around 130k and i drive 150 miles per day.
