Thats a crazy sleeper!

 

yeah always loved those colts.....nice and super sleeper...

 

Awesome intercooler. What did you use for paint?

 

krylon flat black...

i've had great luck with krylon in the past...i just wanted to make it a lot harder to see...so i don't have every ricer in tampa bay asking me how fast my car is.

lol, true true. it keeps up with the sleeper theme. i have these red buttons on my Mugen steering wheel and every ricer that looks into my car asks me if it is for 'nawws,' i keep telling them it's a horn button but they refuse to believe me.

 

just cut the bumper up a little more.

 

nice ride.

here's a friend of mines colt:


runs 10.80's in NHRA sport fwd trim. street car.

 

that's brad's car...he's a friend of mine also....he's now running my old front bumper.

 

that's so nasty, love that big-*** fmic too!

 

Nice sleeper. I hear ya about the damn ricers here in the tampa bay. Although it is nothing like Jacksonville i will promise you that

 

nice ride!!! super sleeper! makes me wanna find a colt gt and sell the rex. seriously! got any good sites/forums for more info on colts?

 

4G63 swap, very nice. Couple questions if you don't mind. Is that a complete, bolt-in swap (engine, tranny, ecu, etc)? What mods have you done besides the fmic?

 

to answer your questions...

http://www.4g61t.com is the only website on the web worth visiting for exclusive info on the colt/mirage.

a 4g63 will bolt into any mirage/colt chassis if you have the right engine mounts. a 4g63 goes right into the colt gt/mirage turbo without any wiring changes because the stock 4g61 is identical to the 4g63 minus the difference in displacement, turbo, exhaust manifold...intake manifold...etc...

 

Nice setup my friend just bought a turbo dodge shadow..he already has it in the 12's

 

Heres my friends colt...

That used to be my intercooler off my civic - i sold it to him. Looks at home on the colt.


his old fix for boost creep


Hes had a bunch of different setups on the car - but never the less its reaally fast.

liam

 

Chet, there's a bumper in the way of that intercooler!! get it outta there!

 

i'm gonna drill 4 2inch in diameter holes to get a little more airflow on the IC...and see how it works.

i'm also looking into a jdm front bumper...like the one pictured here.

 

ah I liked the bumper better before you cut it

 

the problem with the bumper uncut (as i liked it more also) was the way it rested against the IC. the plastic actually pushed right into it...which i kinda felt like the top of the IC would get very little air. now...i think the top of the IC will see more airflow and hopefully bring down the intake charge even more. i guess i should have run the car for a while before cutting it...and monitoring the intake temp...to see if there was a substantial difference but in this case...whats done is done.

not that hard...but they cost about 400 w/ shipping.

i have a few different people looking for me right now...looks like i'll have one in a few months.

 

Good job Chet I can't wait to put my EVO8 FMIC on my Mirage !!!!
