I wouldn't feel dumb at all, that car has pretty much one purpose and nothing else. Not to mention it's not running those times on the street without slicks and race gas. Again, one trick pony to me is not impressive...

 

 

 

 

So what is the purpose and what are we comparing? Is it the times or car type or what? That's why I say it doesn't do anything for me because other than a drag car it's just...meh.. It's still a cool and quick little car but I just can't get thrilled about owning something like... ...and I can still DD my bike 100% street-able!

You cant ride you bike in the rain (safely), or bad weather. The mirage has all creature comforts of a DD besides AC. Yes its a summer fun "toy", but so is your bike, no?

And for reference, have you ever actually seen this car in person? You have some pretty string opinions for someone whom as far as I know does not even know the car they are speaking of.

This cars original intention for the build was a road course car. It has been tracked at Nelsons, Mid Ohio, PBIR, and VIR. We took this down to Grass Roots Challenge in 2010 and took 5th in the road course, and second overall (lost be literally .002 points). Matt Step and El Mirage were invited to compete in SCC Ultimate Street Car Challenge at VIR, and did the BEST for a non-shop entry.

Could the car run 8's? Sure. But it has a small turbo and a HUGE torque curve because its a road race car!

Calling it a one trick pony is as much of an insult to the build and builders as it shows your ignorance of the car or its history. I honestly don't blame you-you probably have never seen the car in person, and I don't expect you to know the car's history.

FB LOL

I will buy if it hits 20. Otherwise watch it burn!

MINT interior

I know ugr didn't call him out I said a ugr car did as in jamie

Jamie never called him out- he called his bluff

Again, the cars are cool but I would never be interested in something like that. It's one thing if it were running 7's or 8's but it's a full on drag car that I can't use daily and honestly would rather drive a bolt-on GT-R running the same times (or quicker)...

I would rather drive a GTR as well, but these are not comparable cars! Thats as silly as saying your BUSA sucks because its not a DD. These are weekend toys built to go fast-and although the Colt (coupe) is more of a drag car than anything else at this point, the Mirage is 100% DD able. Full interior, HVAC, and a mild ACT 2600 clutch.

JP, I love your builds... The 200mph Colt to these 2 cars, all awesome!! Who the hell expects these type cars to run 10's. It's like watching a dodge mini van run 11's... or a Reliant K car killing a built to the hilt Supra. It's just not supposed to happen, but it does and it makes me laugh. Keep it up

I cant take all the credit on these! Just tech/fab/tuning and some driving these old girls aren't mine. Unfortunately this+work is why mine aren't running

5 days has come and gone....

And How did you guys do the passenger headlight....Im looking do do something just like that.

Fiberglass and a dream...

What up with the rear bumpers all cut out like that....Surely it cant help that much.

And How did you guys do the passenger headlight....Im looking do do something just like that.

The car picked up 3 mph on that mod ALONE. On the Colts-there is NOTHING back there-its like having a small parachute. It owuld make more sense if you saw it.

They are quick but its tough for me to get excited about either of them...

Really?

Fast-

Clear-

Well done.

The cage/chassis work is nicer than 99% of the shit you typically see at the track. Trust me.

LOLOLOL

Bump-

Offers have been weak thus far!

On a 20 minute JP tune, baby cams and a stock intake. YEAH BUDDIE.

We still have a good 5-8psi left on the table, and some room in the tune-But I am not going to change it unit a different intake is on the car! Props to Matt Step and team West Side-Hooligan

And due to a junk trans, she did not make any passes-but this is the Cleveland NEW NEW

AWD AUTO 6262. Worked on this till 6am with the Cleveland Mafia. We will she how she does soon

Both cars are plated, and insured. ECheck? Nah

Just got home from Colt modding all night. Tuned 2 (417whp 50 trim can and a made 560whp on the Grass roots "El Mirage") and did some wiriing for a new player that will make some passes tomorrow.

It may be the nicest Colt-ever-. And it only has 4 gears???

93 Laser RS AWD- 6 Bolt 4 bolt car. This is the lightest DSM AWD body you can find. Cleveland Clean underneath. Minimal surface rust-clear coat peel on the hood. You want to go fast for nothing? Here you go!

Interior is 10 out of 10!

Originally picked the car up the car to build it-knew it had a motor issue-found a bent rod. At this point, if I put it back together-its going to be with mostly stock parts and WILL sell for 2k since it s running driving 6 bolt 4 bolt car. I’d rather sell at a loss to save time for other projects!

Mods-3inch exhaust, 255LPH. Trans shifted great before the motor issue-stock clutch-car was bone stock until 2010. Take it as a rolling shell with Rear/Driveshaft/T case for $600.

I will toss in the minty trans for $800. I will toss in a good running 6 Bolt for $1200.

I will get pics up if there is interest-if not I will toss it together when I get some free time.

I have 3, only need one! Prefer to keep the JMF as I like to rep who has supported me over the years, but money talks. 2 Venom manifolds-One JMF Race

http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_2325.jpg

Venom is a great manifold-one of the best according to http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/111956-intake-manifolds-testing-april-3-a.html

JMF Race- cant go wrong! IMO the Best all around NEW manifold one can buy. V2, polished. All are is good used condition and come without TB's (can be provided for a few extra beans)

Polished VENOM-$300 Shipped

Red VENOM- $280 shipped

JMF RACE-$400 Shipped
