1991 Dodge colt turbo base model. Looks like hell and goes like hell!
Painted olive drag green. I haven't finished all of the edging because it got cold but I have all the paint and masking tape to finish it. It has all the turbo spoilers and ground effects. The body and interior are kind of total shit, but it is 100% mechanically sound as hell. The front fender is kind of fruit and banana up from me clipping a car but I hammer and dollyed it out for the most part. It has the typical northern 20 yar old rust. Not sense in fixing any of it, just drive it till the body dies and put the drivetrain in another one.
I would drive this thing to California and back a million times and never think twice about it. It gets well over 20 mpg city and nearly 30 mpg highway. It can be tuned to run on 93 as well as E85, although the E85 tune would benefit from DSMLink much more. It makes about 225 whp on a dynojet and runs low 13s at 104 mph, about 8.06s at 82 in the 1/8th. It's also pretty fast around a road course. The took it to a track day and outran a brand new Caymen S, with ease (although that was probably part driving skill discrepancy).
4g61t 1.6 turbo rebuilt by Bell Machine ( I think, it was done before I got it), Fel-pro race metal head gasket, ARP studs, nice porting job on 1.6 head, evo VIII valve, springs, retainers, lifters, and brand new OEM timing belt. TD04 15T turbo (flows same as 14b but has small exhaust wheel to spool well), full mandrel bent tig welded stainless exhaust that dumps in front of gas tank, Evo 560cc injectors, walbro 255hp pump, brand new gas tank installed 4 years ago, stock 1g smic and piping, AMS delrin front motor mount, turbo radiator. This thing leaks NO OIL whatsoever.
Kenwood CD player, old school 5 knob afc, AEM Uego, Autometer boost gauge. Turbo colt rear speaker deck and parcel shelf, rear defrost added, 1g steering wheel.
Spec stage one million clutch, 1g fwd flywheel, new OEM tob, fork, fulcrum ball, and slave cylinder, tranny is decent, the normal slight DSM grinding in a few gears, turbo equal length axles, shifter bushings.
Turbo front brakes, turbo sway bar with new bushings and whiteline end links, new tie rod ends, new ball joints, new front struts, modified GVR4 springs, colt turbo steering rack and power steering added, 15" GVR4 wheels with 195/50/15 Kumho Estca Summer performance tires.
I have an entire 4g61t motor and trans, complete with turbo with 120k that can go with the car.
If you give me $2100, you can have everything. It is the best cheapest fastest car you can have for the money, I guarantee that. I am a meticulous DSM guru and an ASE Master certified mechanic. You can assure that NOTHING on this car is half assed. I wont even put a bolt somewhere unless it is the exact one that was intended, and believe me, I know every Mitsubishi bolt by heart.
