I DD mine, so it has to be piece-by piece. At least until I get my Summit Wagon rolling. Then, this colt goes AWD.

Hit Pull-a-part today @ lunch to scope out some possible parts for my Summit Wagon and ended up leaving with:

1993 Infinity G20 bumper and OEM FOGS!!
Summit Wagon center console
Summit Wagon Cup Holders and tray

Sending my current G20 bumper to riceless90 (Rob) for his colt so I can rock the new one with the fogs. So happy I had a 10mm socket with me today. Picking up a pair of fog lights that retail (if you can find them) for over $180 each for just $9 total says this week is starting out PERFECT!!!

I can't wait to see that bumper mocked up!!! There seem to be very few options for bumpers.
And just one or two pics of people who have done the g20 bumper.

Great score too with the fogs and everything (jealous)

Here are some pics of the current G20 bumper. The new one is just Burgundy on the top 3/4'ths.

Did some work on the colt. Had to replace the turbo due to blown oil seals, to which I am Sure those who follow me will now appreciate.. New fuel rail installed to replace the leaking one. Also removed the 660 injectors,GM-Maf and Maft setup in favor of 2gmaf and 550 setup. Plus installed a new afpr, freshly painted valve cover and a new g20 bumper that came with stock fogs.

Installed a 4g shifter with a 4g eclipse shift knob. Unbelievable difference with the 4g shifter. Also arranged to get a full set of gray leather seats from a 2g for the colt, and a leather 2g talon steering wheel for the summit, essentially for free!!

Installed a new f5m33 tranny, brand new colt turbo axles, lywheel and act2600 clutch. Just a fender and brake drum install away from being ready for the shootout!!

Rob just sent me this pic, good thing I decided to swap the tranny. Now I can use this as my guinea pig for transferring my PhantomGrip LSD from the old GST tranny to my new tranny. I am not willing to try the tranny the LSD is currently in because I know for a fact this one is grind free. I believe the LSD tranny is too, but would require alot of cleanup and paint to be ready for install.

Found a guy in my local FB group selling ECMLink v3 Lite for $325. Got him to let it go for $300!!! I love a 30% discount!!.. What is even better is that it already has a near perfect tune for me on it!!

Me---------------Link
2gMAF-----------2gMAF
RC 550's---------Evo 560's
Recirc BOV------Vent to Atmosphere

Just tweak the injector setting and I should be good. I just need to socket my ECU AND solder in a 1g diag port into the harness (The stock Colt port is not wired in, so I can connect to the ECU). The incorrect port explains why I could never log with my MMcDroid app.

Well, Colt had been running flawless with no issues until the trip to the shootout. While passing a semi, the downpipe blew apart at the o2 housing mounting flange (must have had a hole, which explains the flaky WB readings) and hit the ground. So, ripped it the rest of the way off and hit the shootout sans downpipe. I bought a nice, new 2g FWD stainless downpipe and git it welded in. The Exhaust has never sounded better, guess it needed that for a while!! Too bad it will require more exhaust work when I go AWD this spring.

Colt has been running good. Installed some PTE 680's and continued working on the tune with Link. Not real impressed with my 1/4 mile times (14.9 @ 103, 15psi) but like the MPH. Lack of traction has caused 2.7 60' times. Sooo, I opted to install the F5M33 with a Phantom Grip LSD, that I had laying around, in it over the weekend. Install was uneventful, working around the rain. I decided for this install to just do the "drill a hole and insert a bolt" mod for the shift linkage. Seemed to work great, but 3-5 gears are very hard to engage in the driveway. Now, this tranny has sat for about 10 months, so I think the shift lever linkage is a bit stiff. Some PB Blaster should help a bunch. Also, tranny has not had gear oil rolling around in it for a while also, so I will give it some time to loosen up. Still have to finish re-assembling the intake so I can start it up and give it some miles to see if the linkage will soften up.

Did you swap out the other lever that bolts on with two bolts? What about the cable bracket? Both need to come from a csm.

If you have to adjust anything the hole was probably not drilled in the correct spot. I have done this twice and both times it worked perfect, no adjustment.
