thanks guys, I'm looking forward to having the Colt back along with my Talon. Quote: Great build so far. Unless all of this happened this morning I think you've been hiding this awesome revival from us What are you planning for wheels and tires? Any chance this is becoming AWD ever? haha not all happened this morning, I've been gathering a few pics and didn't have time to post right away. I hope to get alot done starting next week so should be some more updates in the near future. I have a factory set of 14 inch 89 Colt GT rim's I think I'm going to use. I also have a set of factory 15 tiburon wheels that I used before. I'm thinking the factory look is what I'm going to go for, just not sure how gripping 14 inch tires will be. I run the Dunlop Star Spec Direzza's on my talon and they are awesome I have the GT side skirts, front bumper and rear wing to install as well, but for now it will have the sleeper look until it gets painted. Once painted I will be going for the factory GT look, might even put the DOHC Turbo stickers and GT sticker on. Not sure on the AWD, my friend had all the running gear needed to do it, and we planned to, but the little span I was out of the car scene and he had his eclipse project otg and a few others, he had a garage clean up and tossed the old stuff out. If I can find running gear local someday, it may be a possibilty, but can't say for sure now. Cheers, Jim

Well, is the old GT chassis a VIN "Z" car? C53A? If so, I don't have it on the registry yet. Love your build and resurrection of the running gear/motor into the newer, cleaner shell. Keeping hope alive for many fellows here. Welcome back to the fold Colt man Jimmer.

I don't think the registry was on going when I 1st got the car. The black one I scrapped was a true 89 GT as well.

Bit of a nalstagic post here, 2001-2005; as I said I lost all my build pics from years ago when I lost a harddrive , however a buddy if mine did have some pics kicking around, brings back old memories. 1st was the purple Colt, started life as a 92 1.5L auto, ended up a 5 speed 4G61T with full interior swap. (you can just see the black 89 scrapped in the background) Gauges Interior Then came the Silver 89 GT which was the one I rebuilt the engine, had an EVO III, 450's, FMIC, etc etc. Missing a few front lamps and a busted corner Highway Shot Dyno Day summer 2005, 198 WHP, 202 Torque, only 1 hour session, with safc and 12-13 psi Engine Shot Last a shot of 2 friends and my car at the time, we called it Small, Medium and large lol Hope you all enjoy Jim

Great History and build, Alot of us here have been back and forth with our cars. Im glad to have mine back after four years. Even though it is not my main focus right now, I love looking at it when I drive up to my house! I too will be going for the factory look with the Stickers and red pinstriping in the mouldings

A man after my own heart! I have a 1989 silver Colt GT with the same style Colt Grille with Mitsu Star symbol on it. I just love the grille style and thought the Mitsu stars were a better fit on the car. By the way, we have amassed a rather large collection of manuals and assorted Mitsubishi related goodness, heck even more to update, but no avenue at this point. The gallery to post your car to: http://www.4g61t.org/gallery/v/members/ The manuals section which is self serve: http://www.lilevo.com/mirage/ http://www.lilevo.com/mirage/Manuals/ And of course, check out LilEvo and his swap videos and related car stuff too! http://www.lilevo.com The Registry is something I started because I am a bit of a collector and at one time a professsed hoarder. Lol. I have since trimmed back and now only really hold onto enough parts to make a second turbo car, and keep the registry maintained. I do however have to get an update shot of the registry because it has grown considerably since the last screen shots were taken. Enjoy, and thank you for getting me information about your turbo cars! Tim

It was a nice combo that's for sure, I'm actually looking for another Colt grille of that style and possilbly another mitsu star, don't know of any for sale do you?

After 3 weeks I managed to spend an hour or 2 last night at the car, it was pretty productive. I managed to get 2 engine mounts and tranny mount tightened, shifter cables installed to tranny, alternator installed, FMIC installed and headlights and a few other odds and ends. I hope to get at it for a few hours this weekend. Alternator rebuilt FMIC installed My 90 DSM engine harness came in the mail, so I hope to get this installed the weekend, I also have an adapter harness otw to mate this harness with the CSM chassis harness. that's it for now, more updates soon Jim

Managed to get some time spent on the car the last week or so. Most of the time spent was fabbing up the FMIC and piping setup, installing intake, bumper, etc making sure to keep the stock location of the windshiled wash bottle and make room for the battery under the hood and fit all the piping as well. Took a bit of time but I have the cold side finished now, i'm just waiting on a reducer coupler for the hot side which should be here by the end of the week. I also got the axles insatlled, the new clutch lined fabbed up, bumper cover trimmed and mounted. I got my DSM to CSM adapter harness installed, pic below of the harness. Thanks to Chris (89mirageman) Here is a snap of what it looks like with everything there, this was the fabbing stage, before I cut the hole to allow the piping to go down into the wheel well. I've since painted the MAF housing the same as the piping. I kept the windshield wash bottle stock location, however I need to re route the coolant over flow bottle, not a big deal to do.

Below is a pic of the cold side piping where it comes from the TB down into the wheel well and joins to this part, it then wraps around the front of the car into the side of the FMIC. Here's a before pic of the front bumper without the FMIC Here is a pic after with the FMIC installed, I wanted to keep the grille portion of the bumper cover on this bumper to make it more of a sleeper, once I paint the car and install the GT bumper it'll show the FMIC a bit more. You can see the bottom of the bumper cover is out a little, with keeping the grille portion it was hard to make this perfect, but it's not too bad as is. I also need to modify the p/s signal light housing to bolt in the bumper with the piping routed behind it It's in there lol

I also got a chance to mount the turbo to the engine, install the fuel rail, 450cc injectors with all new seals and o rings. I also changed the location of the turbo oil send line from the side of the head to the OFH. Here is a pic of the fuel rail and injector's before installing, and new insulators as well. A pic of the new Oil feed line location, I also have a new Mitsubishi oil filter to install Pics of the turbo installed You can see from this view how much is going on with the piping, washer bottle, etc lol.

The mailman was really good last Friday, I got the new tire's, stock size 195/60R14 and my new boost and A/F gauge's Tire's, they are to fit the stock rim's, I'm buying a pair of BFG Drag Radials to mount on the front for drag racing. Gauge's that's it for now, I have another exam coming up so time to wrenching will be tight, but I hope to be able to try to start it up real soon.
