Was $4500, Now $3200
Original 1989 Black Dodge Colt GT Turbo
78,000 miles (lowest miles of any running original turbo car I've seen)
(480)570-0527
Engine:
Original 4g61t, New Genuine Evo3 16g, 450 injectors, Rebuilt EEPROM ecu with new ecm link v3, all 2.5 inch intercooler piping, new manual boost controller, TurboXS RFL Blow-Off Valve, GM 3in Maf, New ECMlink GM MAF adapter, New Oil relocation kit(for better reliability), New FP race exhaust manifold, New FP Intake, 2g elbow, EVO 8 Intercooler.
Body:
JDM GTI Front Bumper, JDM GTI Turnsignals(not intstalled), JDM GTI Sidemarkers, Yoshifab Strut tower bar.

New in box stuff I got:
Walbro 190LPH Fuel Pump, PTE 780CC injectors,
Used In Box:
Autometer Boost Gauge

About the car:
I had bought the car from a guy who said that the original owner before him let the car sit in the desert for 5 years. The paint faded, the plastics cracked, and the engine stayed mint. I had bought it for $2300 Unmodified (a steal). I have since replaced almost all of the plastics and I have wired it for a 91-94 ecu(which is not permanent). I have every part unmodified to bring back to stock except front bumper cover and radiator shroud(both parts can be had on any 3g CSM). The car has some pin sized roof rust that needs to be tended to(a common problem on the Japanese made CSM's). Car has new fuel filter and the ecu has been rebuilt by me. All supporting mods should be good for 300HP on pump gas, or 400HP on miracle corn juice.

What the car needs:
A wash, A paint job, new fan(and subsequently after that, a new thermostat, as I am running without a thermostat to prevent overheating). 780CC injectors and 190LPH fuel pump needs to be installed with the fan as mentioned before to have any horsepower over 200. Needs De-ziptiefication(basically needs some items to be hard mounted, Ive left zipties on most things that I might change around for different configurations). Needs Cat-back exhaust. Small leak in a/c, a/c needs re-charge.

Why this car is different from most:
Every stock USDM option, even underseat storage! Only conservative mods were done that could be undone at any time to bring the car back to stock. No metal was cut, and no original parts were sold or traded. A difficult feat when building a CSM.Except for shopping cart dings and the roof, car is rust/major dent free and there is no frame creases or bondo to show any previous accidents. Also almost any mod is plug and play with the ECM link. I would prefer someone to buy it that won't hack it to death. Add up all the receipts and it's more than 3300 worth of parts (less than 6 months old), so your getting a pre-modified CSM for $1200. Not to mention all the JDM stuff I have. Only mobil 1 fully synthetic and mobile 1 filters have been on this car every 3,000 miles.

If it had a 4G63 in it and a paint job I would be on this. Does it over heat when you put a T stat in it? Can you go way down on the price. They navy doesn't pay to well, lol.

The 4g61t has the almost the same potential as the 4g63t(500hp un-built). Just look what the Cleavland, and Colorado guys are doing.

Its been sitting in a desert for 12 years, hence the low miles , and yea it's going to need a paint job.

Yes, it needs a better slimline fan, I have a autozone cheapy right now to clear the j-pipe. If car is brought back to stock I still have the original fans.

I understand the navy not paying well, I only got 1 more year :lol: but sure, I'll drive it to your house, I'll strip all the performance/jdm parts off, and I'll give you all of the original parts for you to put back together for $2300. You then can purchase any other parts you want to leave on it from me. Hardly any of my parts are used.

I also have a safc for those who don't want to use ecm link. And If the full car is purchased, I'll throw in my dell laptop to tune ECM link, and free ECM link training for 4g61t members.

Thinking about building a LS2 Miata, LS2 Gen1 Camaro or mazdaspeed5. Or I may get a non-original turbo car that I can hack up and make AWD. But in all truth I just want to see If anyone wants it, cause until I get out of the military (another year), I really don't have time to wrench. If I can't get what I want for it, I'll just store it in my garage in AZ till I have time to restore it.

Also open for trades!

Most of the plastics have been replaced, and look good, seats are in okay shape, the dash has only 1 1mm crack near the clock. The dash needs a little bit of gluing in some spots. The car has the original radio, and it also has a underseat storage(rare option). back seats are immaculate. has rear speaker option. has cargo shelf. I have both a yellow interior light(rare) and a clear. Power windows/mirrors.


Just do what I did and get a 2 year personal loan form navy fed, sure its high interest(might not be depending on your cedit), but its only like 120 a month, or you can get everything for slightly double that). Additionally its a revolving account which if you make all the payments it can build credit fast. You still pay less interest with a 2 year high interest loan, than a 5 year low interest loan, because loans are measured by Annual percentage rate.

Also I won't sell it to you if your going to cut into it. This car is impossible to find with such low miles and good condition (besides the paint). It deserves to be restored.

Guys you won't find another CSM like this. With paint and a good suspension you have the potential for an absolutely sick car. GLWS Dave.
