Figured i would post up a few pics of my junk box.


I picked the car up a few months ago, it was posted for sale locally and i ended up getting it for a grand. I pretty much got the car running like complete shit, turbo was blown, afc was set wrong, and a coolant leak. Swapped out the blown 50trim for a ported 16g and fixed the coolant leak and afc setting within a week of having the car. Havent done much with it from when i purchased it, thought i was going to sell it then just decided to keep it. Was bored the last two days so this is what happened to the colt.....







Heres what it looked like when i picked it up:













This is how it sits now..... ...... You cant really tell with the crappy camera phone pics but the best part is the bottom is textered paint.


















I will post some better pictures prolly tonight.

Thank you for resurrecting this one! I saw the original for sale ad and the condition was saddening. Keep us posted with the paint progress. It's already 10 times better than it was it sounds/looks like!

That poor poor car..

Just to think.. It used to have NICE glossy black paint

Yeah i dont understand why someone thought primer looked better than black paint? But there is no way im spending 1500+ on a paint job for it. I would rather dump money into other areas.

I was going to buy this car from you when it was on Craigslist. But sadly, couldn't come up with the money. Then my wife found me a 90 Talon and I took that instead. But I wouldn't have minded having this one. Keep us updated.

nice! im some what in the same delma of picking it up with problems,well actually i only have 2 problems,The ecu caps are leaking and a broken window,but thats pretty much it,i just picked it up a few days ago.


hey did you pick up your car with the FMIC installed?
Is there anything you need to do when install one besides taking apart the Reinforment bumper?
Just make sure all the relocating hoses to the intercooler are tight and no leaks right? I can get custom pipe/bent and welded nicely,and install a bov and all my self,but is there anything else to do management wise?.

This piece of trash needs a bumper. Anyone have any ideas?

I vote Impreza 2.5RS bumper! Should give you plenty of room for that big IC and looks great on the car.
