Mirage Turbo/Colt GT

Just curious I would like to see some pics and get some ideas for mine b4 I start the transformation...

I ran my 85 Mirage Turbo in H-stock from Jan-June. If you can find some sort of swaybar that will work (I never did) it should be a decent competitor, maybe not on the national level but locally at least. Van ran his 88 as well and he has some sort of special Koni's made that I bet were pretty sweet but still showed a lot of body roll. I beat a national level driver in his 91 Civic si on one of my very best days but was right back to #2 the next event.

Not sure about the next Gen Colts though. Grassroots Mag looks like the are going to feature a newer Colt next issue, keep an eye out for that.

Things are different now in my Miata now though

i run my 92 Summit sedan in the local autoX, in H Stock with nothin but Kumho all-seasons and determination :p

Got a video of one of my runs from the last event. i know i'm not fast, and i never place more than between bottom or middle of the pack, but i have fun doin it, so it's all good.

I do

I know that matt but thanks....

FYI You can get a front and rear sway-bar from:

http://www.whiteline.com.au/

Just look in their catalogue under "Mitsubishi->Colt RA,RB,RC,RD"

I have rear sway bars on both my Excel's and they share the same rear trailing arm suspension. However mine are made by this company:

Will talk There are a couple tricks I've learned.

Get some energy suspension bushings and endlinks. Big bang for the buck as far as handling. Not a cure all though.... http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/swaybbct.html

Good luck!

I'm hoping to start autoxing my colt this spring.. I tried auto x last year for the first time, and now i'm hooked!

i took 1st in dsp and second overall last year in my 06 lancer, and intend on running the 4g63t swapped 89 mirage turbo once this year.

but every other event ill be racing a mugen si with nt01's!

This Colt I now have will be seeing much AutoX time and track days. Unfortunately, due to the AWD and 4g63t swap, at Solo competitions I will be forced to run in the Prepared class X, also called Open Prepared, which basically has very few rules. I will be running Konig Britelites with Hankook Ventus C50 DOTR slicks. Here in Cincinnati there are very few XP cars, but the two that ran last year were a LS1 swapped FD and a consistent FTD WRX. I think that given the current suspension setup and weight of this Colt I will be giving that FTD WRX many difficulties. And if I am not giving him enough problems then there is always room for improvement. I dunno how you can argue with 2,500 pounds of AWD go-kart though...

This thread is from 07

Yeah, I saw Feb 19 but not the 2008. Oh well. I'll be autocrossing my AWD go-kart. That's all I wanted to say.
