As far as the colt is concerned, it is my main focus. I have a month worth of plates left on it and then i won't licence it for awhile. Here is my plan for what i will do this winter= (chime in with your thoughts if you have any)

new synchros- Mitsubishi dealer?
clutch- ebay?
clutch fork- i hear this is a good idea?
flywheel-fidanza?
b.s removal- ebay 20 dollar kit?
And obviously t-belt and seals
Whatever free/cheap mods i can think of.

I plan on relocating the battery back to the front of the car, cause i think having a cutoff switch is stupid, and i won't do it, just so i can run at the track next year.
MAD weight reduction
new tires- again just to run at the track. Will be going on 14 inch steel rims with white hubcaps. I thought of spinners or skull and crossbones, but that would maybe be a bit over the top. I want it to fly under the radar.
talon tsi front bumper cover- this will make it easier to conceal the intercooler.
Water/meth injection
Whatever else I/ you guys can think of.

Basically i want to max out the stock turbo before i even think about upgrading. And i really like the response of the 14b.[/quote]

Well its been a few months, still a work in progress, and plans have changed bigtime

new synchos=Joe hookup
clutch=centerforce dual friction (not ebay!)
clutch fork= stock
flywheel =maybe stock maybe fidanza
bs=mitsu dealer parts (whole kit was 47 bucks from the dealer! with 4g61 belt spacer!)
t belt and engine seals= napa
tranny seals= mitsu dealer

Relocated battery to the front
went with a laser bumper tsi bumper is

And then it gets interesting, i got joes old setup

20g
tubular manifold
evo 560's
that changed the plans a lot. Now all of a sudden i have to see how fast i can go for 3000 dollars. I'm hoping for 11's, but i'll probably wind up slower than i was on the stock turbo, with my luck. But it's so much fun building it when you're spending money!

hey, how much did the new synco's cost? I'm curious to know what's the damage on them.

TROOOOTH!!!



Suggestion-keep the 5 bolt hubs for cheapness and easy of fixing. Rock out NA steelies with white hubcaps.

MOTIVATION for you and me!

I love the 4g. Its one of those cars that looks so generic. One of those cars that doesn't stand out/nobody knows what it is. If only i could get a donor car.

Oh my god what have i done? Got the colt running again today. I ended up deciding to put the 14b back on it for awhile. It turns out a lot of the things i have done seem to have caused me a lot of trouble i didn't have before.

b.s removal- now the bastard is leaking oil, i suspect too high of oil pressure...

clutch fork pivot ball shim- why oh why did i do this? when i pushed my clutch in while it was running, i heard the nastiest grinding sound i have ever heard. Clutch is pushing in too far now, i had to adjust it at the pedal, now it doesn't sit quite right, on the good side it works very well other than that.

trans rebuild. Doesn't grind anymore. But i STILL can't hit 2nd gear at high revs!!!! SERENITY NOWW!!!! What a complete waste of time and money that was!

My build cost to date... dunno probably around 4 grand. I ended up running 12.99 at 108 with the 14b, 560's and maft setup.
Broke my 3-4 shift forks again! I suspect not enough preload on the input shaft.
Tranny is getting rebuilt again by me so not well. But it's getting evo 1-2 gear (double synchro 2nd Woo Hoo!!!) I kinda just bought a random dsm transmission and it ended up being an evo1-2 trans!
tre shift forks- modded evo 3 forks should be a little harder to break.

And the most important mod i have ever purchased- aem ecu
Remember when i said there would be a point where i would actually start spending thousands on this pos- well now's the time.

I still have 3 grand to spend. How to spend it? I know for sure i need
1000 or more cc injectors
fidanza flywheel- for sure
water meth injection
afpr
Jeez i might have money left over. I'm really only shooting for 400 fwhp. Maybe i actually upgrade the suspension, or paint. Naw i'll probably just buy another pos
Maybe i should get some cams?

By the way my whole mod list will be
stock motor cometic hg arp studs
20g tubular manifold
3 inch ex
2 1/2 intercooler piping HUGE intercooler
water/meth
centerforce df/fidanza
stage 1.5 trans
aem ecu
1000cc's
afpr
11.99 or better should be a really fun/challenging milestone to hit. If i play my cards right, i could do it easily with the mods i have mentioned. But i will most likely blow up my engine/transmission in the process. But that is why it's such an exciting time for me.

Uh oh, I think you have a bug. Its going to be a never ending project now. Someday soon my car will be running once again. I think you have more miles on your car in two years than I have had all 5 years, or has it been 6 now? disappointing it is...

It must be time for an update. It's been awhile. This is how it looks now.. Unfortunately its looking better all the time. A little less sleeperish all the time.






The latest modification= 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back all custom made by me. Even made my own muffler. This muffler is only 2.25 inch diameter. It is just nice and quiet for street use. I am still going to add a 3 inch cutout somewhere.

Pretty cool project man! So you did actually get it out to the track and it ran a 12.9?

Thats pretty good! what were the 60' times?

Anything new to the 4th gen?

And welcome to the world of DSM trannys haha. I have blown up 5 so far in my 4g63t 4th gen colt.... I will be going to a FWD dsm tranny very soon. Just have to fabricate up the under motor crossmember to it all works and install the hydrolic pedal cluster i got from a 4th gen 1.8L 5-speed

Keep us updated when you get all those mods it!! this car should be hitting 10's in no time at all with all the stuff you have planned!

Keep it up!

I ran 12.99 in august with the 14b still on there. I think my 60 foot was 1.9 trap 108 that's why i changed the title from 12 to 11 second car. what i found out is an 12 second awd colt can easily be done for under 1000. 11 seconds is going to be a battle though. I have about 7000 or so into the colt now. The setup i have should be good for it no problem, but i am still looking for a tuner and there just isn't anybody in saskatoon who uses aem. I am forced to do it myself which means= no power

I sold that 4th gen. I decided i would rather build another hatch, cause hatches are just so much more practical. I bought two awd talons, a 90 and a 91. Both are black. I'm daily driving the 90. But i want to cut it up and i have been searching for colt #2 And after i get colt #1 running 11.5 then i'll take a break on it for awhile so i can swap colt 2. This one will be left fairly stock, it's going to be a daily driver. I have been tempted to start driving my super colt to work cause it has a better heater than the talon, but the 170 km daily commute is just way too much for the precious.

It's actually kind of weird not having a long list of things to do to the colt this winter. The 3 inch exhaust was my big job and now that that's done all i have left is the giant intercooler install. I have a 12x 24? 3inch inlet and outlet ebay intercooler i bought off a buddy from work. I don't think i will go 3" on my piping though, that just seems way overkill, take up too much space and ground clearance. I have been thinking 2.5
What do you guys think?
I know 3 inch intercooler and pipes will be laggy as hell, but i don't care I have antilag now. I also have nlts but i don't like it. I set it up and went and played with it a while back, It works but It can't be good for the tranny. I will only use that if i am stuck at 12.1 and need that extra 10th of a second.
I also have r compound tires i can put on it Just with those and the antilag i could have gotten my 60 down to 1.5 that would mean a et of 12.2
On paper the goal of 11.99 seems all too easy...

I think 11's is not far off.

I would concentrate on a good Methanol injection setup. That will act like a better intercooler anyways.

Two nozzles before the throttle body and a lot of guys put one pre-turbo as well.

And plus a decent meth setup is not that exspensive or hard to install either.

I have a devils own progressive kit. I just recently installed it. It does nothing in -10 weather though (
imagine that) but i expect that it is going to be night and day in the summer heat.
I did some rough math i have easily over 7 grand into the colt now... Lot of money to spend in a year On a 200 dollar car no less.
