Yeah so its been a hot minute since ive posted a build and I havent really built anything on the Porsche just fixed shit because its a fucking piece of eurotrash junk.

My first, second, and fifth cars were mitsubishi, so back to my roots. 
Traded my 87 mr2 for this unit, not a bad deal since this 89 Dodge Colt runs like a fucking top. 181k miles, leaks oil like a sieve, and I absolutely fucking love it. 58hp of fury, rocking the 4-speed.












Warming teh beer up.



Blaupunkt radio from the porsche.






I will obviously put some sort of DSM based motor in the car, got a 7bolt 4g63 that crankwalked I could slap in it, just holding out for a better unit so whatever.  I fully intend to throw a stock 4G6X into this fucker and crank the boost to the moon. Got an old AEM for a Honda so ill probably adapt it to the colt, fuck dsm electronics.

Ive got 2 of these GT18 VTG turbos, i might use them on the car.





Then again, I have this Geo Metro I picked up in trade for labor, i may just slap one gt18 on it.

BTW, much more important, the Y8 engine seen in the second picture is for sale.  $250 obo, has 150K miles but runs strong with no funny noises.  Let me know.

That could be a piece of history if JD wanted to put his time and knowledge into it. Lazy fuck

[Joseph Davis]

As far as I'm already concerned it is history.

dude.  Swap a failure AWD eclipse driveline in it, then confus redneks at the local races.

everyones seen it and since a colt was picture only a matter of time before its mentioned so ill do it.

That guy lives about 2 hours from me.

I am of the opinion that AWD is hype, and I can personally pull the same or better 60' with fwd/slicks/properly setup suspension, without all that muss and fuss of the weight-adding AWD.  Not to mention that awd stuff is gold in the mitsu world, and im a cheap fuck.  Unfortunately, most of these dsm/csm owners dont have a fucking clue how to make a car hookup, and none of them are half as badass as I am.

Its funny you should mention the quality of the drivetrain, since the entire DSM engine/trans/drivetrain was in fact designed for the mirage cyborg.  Funny how an extra 1000lbs will render a decent (dseries "sized") transmission worthless.

FWD+Slicks > Awd.

[97Econobox]

Im not even gonna jump into that debate cause i think yuou have a point.  Only time im facinated with AWD is when its retro fitted from different cars and made to work.  Its Neat.

I think a fiero with a 454 in it is Neat though, not to say id have one or that its pointless but its neat.

From what I've seen, Andrew is 0.05-0.1 seconds slower than the $$$ AWD cars in the 60' with his incorrectly set up 180K mile beaten the fuck out of FWD Galant.  And I'd go so far as to say that while Andrew's bright as fuck and can learn how to drive, his launch is still not at the limit of what that car can do and he could probably drop it a tenth if he had some coaching.

Also, bump up my D16Y8 FS post.

you can pull 1.3x 60's with a FWD car?

youre amazing rob. 

[Joseph Davis]

None of the locals do better than 1.65 60', sir.

1.3's are pimped out FWD wheelie bar times, or a RWD car with DRs and good setup.

Why yes, yes I am.  

Honestly, 60' really arent the big deal.  Its keeping traction thru 2nd, 3rd, and 4th im concerned with, and then not break some weak ass transfer case/center diff.  Its truely magic I tell you.  

[onlyflash944]

i want to try fwd+ preload wheelie bar one of these days

[Corey]

or proper AWD setup times with slicks and a competent driver.

ever seen a mid to late 90's hyundai elantra cut 1.40 60' on 24.5" slicks? 4 of them that is.

or a 1g DSM cut a 1.31 60' on the same slicks?

i have 

[Minor Threat]

AWD is only hype unless it's on the street. Then you either have to bring a RWD with a good rear suspension setup, or a drag slick FWD car that you really can't drive on the street out to beat it.

[Joseph Davis]

Or go from a first gear roll.

[Minor Threat]

AWD is only hype unless it's not on the street.

Listen, you own a fat fucking AWD failure mobile and you lack the skill to turbo anything for more than a week and actually have it run properly, proven by the fact that you bought said failure mobile.

You car is heavy, and slow. AWD is fun when you make boat loads of power to haul around an inherently heavier chassis. You don't make a lot of power, if you did, your crap tranny would explode.

Don't mistake this for hate on Subaru's, I'm not Joey, a friend of mine has a 99 2.5 RS with 02 Wagaon drivetrain, 07 Sti 6 spd and the rest of the OMG Sti shit bolted up to it, with the boost cranked to the moon. It's a super fun car, but yours isn't, so shut it because your opinion is worthless.

thats simplex speak for "So?"

[Robb]

i see nothing built in this thread

Perhaps I should have been more clear in my title, since some folks on this board lack basic common sense. 



Exactly what makes you folks think I wont run slicks and a wheelie bar on the street?

Nothing at all, but you're from West Asheville where no one gives a fuck about shit like that and lets it slide.

Realistically, would you be rolling around on slicks and with a bar on a day to day basis, I doubt it, for a night at the street races, sure.

[Joseph Davis]

In West Asheville, we're too lazy to remove the bar or slicks after we've bolted them on.

[BigGameHit]

good build for sure.

4g63 it!!!!!

[Robb]

good build for sure.

4g63 it!!!!!

Probably be a 4g64 SOHC, as nobody builds them and they are infact cheap as fuck. Dirty sock for the win.


As far as the wheelie bars go, technically the law says anything that extends beyond the rear bumper of the car needs to have a red flag/marker attached for visibilty...So as long as I rock a red flag they really cant say shit to me.  That and the fact that I'll have a black/blue COP sticker on the back of the car will probably help. 

Also, I live 7 miles from work, all back roads.  It would be a waste of time to bolt/unbolt slicks for weekend runs. 

[Ntrain2k]

I had high hopes when I saw the dirty D in the picture with it, but then I saw mention of mitsu instead....

[Robb]

Bump motherfuckers. 

Picked up this sweet 92 talon tsi fwd from caveman.  Fuck yeah, this is the parts donor car for the colt.









My driveway reeks of mitsubishi and suzuki.

[Robb]

is that like saying it reeks of semen and feces?

Meh.  Better than subaru and niss?an...

[Joseph Davis]

4G15 swap plus Talon equals new beater, yes?

Im stealing the T100 from Harry.  Dont tell him though.  I fucking love that truck.
