so since the weather was nice today and will be for the next week or so I decided to take some pics that I will post in the coming weeks as I get the engine put together and tear the car apart..

start of the story.. Samuel is over seas in the military right now and I am building this 89 colt gt 1.6t while he is away.. He has been into dsm's since I met him back in 05.. most recently he had a white galant vr4 which he traded to moidsm1 for this colt. so I assume the vin has been added already. Car runs but has a starter issue and is all stock. plans are a built 2.0 with evo 8 pistons, 272 cams, fresh rebuilt head, 1000cc injectors, -10 feed w/ -8 return fuel lines, dnp tubular manny, large turbo (cant remember the size) with tial 44mm WG, HUGE frontmount, honda half size radiator, act clutch, gonna stay FWD with slicks, possibly going auto later in the year.

He is supose to be back around june for a few weeks so I am trying to have it running by then. I will take pics of the car in the next few days and next week post up everything I have so far.

here is a teaser for starters lol. I will update this often as I progress with it. the 2G rad is just for the fans...but we might use it if the half size one wont keep it cool here in Az.

oh you know it exists and you know red is sexier and faster than white, looking at the pic it looks like not so many parts, maybe cause there spred out, but that intercooler is huge steve, your right on it not being a evo 8 one, no way
