My Caribbean MQ "MIA"

Postby scientist on Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:28 am

Hi Everyone,

Just realized I have never posted any pics of My MQ dubbed "Mia". She has the 4D56 and 5 Speed Auto (The Only configuration the Dealer imports)

So Far I've added wheels (20x9), Subwoofer.

By end of summer I plan to get her reflashed, with increased boost, exhaust and intercooler + trans cooler. Haven't deviced yet whether i'm going to give her a lift or lower her. But I am definitely changing the side steps and trying to get my hands on the DRL headlights. She's my daily driver but can't resist the urge to mod. My other car aka the garage queen has been modded extensively

I used a Shallowmount 10" With a Wedge style box. Box is slightly smaller than recommended dimensions but the rear seat closes easily

Will take a pic later today.

Good looking rig there Scientist.

Are the mirrors wrapped or are they fitted with new covers?

Bugger with the door, hopefully you have a good stretch after its fixed.

Have a good New Year.

I just hope the paint shop can do a proper color match on the new door.

Have a good New Year.
