Thanks niky - even if you can't post your words here, a link to the finished piece would be good.
(If you do post stuff here, mind if I crosspost to mirageforum.com? Or feel free to post there yourself - that would be most welcome!)
One mystery I've not quite solved (the fun of Japanese-English translated material) is the MIVEC continuously variable valvetrain. If you have access to technical info, it would be nice to know whether it's on the intake side only, or on both sides. I've seen it described both ways.
Mitsu's corporate web site isn't up to date with the latest info.
