Well, here they are... the locals down at Puerto Rico.

One of the most common cars on the streets of Puerto Rico is the Mitsubishi Mirage Technica edition. It was a special release just for the island (as far as I know) with a tuned-up engine releasing 111 horses for the first edition, 113 for the second edition. There were a couple special editions of this special release... making them maybe too special?

As you may know, if the car is pretty common in the streets, people just tend to modify their cars to make them look... "original". Well, original as they may be, they don't always turn out pretty. Here's some few examples: Whatever... there's the Evolution V commemorative edition, Evolution VI commemorative edition and Playero edition (Beach edition, which came with beach chairs and an umbrella... wow, so special!).


"Coffee can" style Pep Boys muffler... check!



You can't really notice it here, but this guy says he has a "Custom job on Angel Eyes side markers"... By that, he meant he put "angel eyes" on the turn signals, not the side markers. What's with the wiper blades, by the way? He has like 4 pictures with the wipers up.
Ugly *** side markers... check!




Next one is an Evolution VI edition. It has some "beautiful" Altezzas with some red tint in it... and... uhm... they just look fugly.
Altezzas... check!





Now... more tails on an import Mirage... ugly *** spoiler. Ew... but that's not actually his crime. You see... he took a back quarter picture, then took a side profile picture... which he then lowered and put up saying it's his suspension. Wow.
Ugly *** spoiler and Photoshop use to impress the chicks...check!
[EDIT] By the way, just noticed something when going over it! As you can see, the passenger's door has a Technica emblem in it... fine. It's not even balanced in there. And, uhm... Technicas have the door handles painted, idiot!

Notice: top of image and front wheel gap.


Eh, won't describe this one. Just take a look for yourselves... and check!






I'd provide with my own pictures, but I don't own a camera as of now. But for sure, when I get one, you will see all the p.o.s. that run in these streets... enjoy!

Needs a little bit more downforce, bro! Remember: it's a FWD car!!!




This is a Civic Rally version... am I right?

Those wings make me so angry, they turn every car into rice land. The only wing I like that looks like that is the one that comes with the TRD Celica, that is a sexy wing.

Actually, that's a Japanese rice van... they're pretty normal in Japan... and also 18 wheelers with a lotta stuff on them... blingy stuff. Ugly stuff.

Well, there are no 7thgens with AWD... only the 3rd and 4th gens came with a few AWD models... and maybe the 5th and 6th gen wagons, but I'm not sure about those...

The guy probably leased it.

The driver looks like some international student who spent madly parents money, and since he won't stay in the US for long, he leased the car.

I take that back then, you can't make those mr2s any uglier than they are in my opinion. Those big old side scoops and the lights and.. the whole car's just fugly - sorry for the mismatch I just glanced.

all the info was on the official Honda of Japan website (don't know url now) but the info might have changed due to the 8thgen... TEIN even makes a GRAVEL coilover that you can only special order directly though TEIN in japan aka rally racing...

google: honda japan

use googles automatic translation feature to the right of the title

the translation feature only appears on some websites but it sure helps getting some real jdm parts.

just use onlineconversion.com to convert currency and if you can't figure out google try using babelfish.altavista.com (better have those foreign character supports installed from windows).

rep me ;P
