  1. More than it should, and usually after beers have been drank. :dumb: Its not less street friendly form the Colt you purchased from him. Didnt you drive that car to NC too? I called out all of the locals in advance to have their hand at it for the shootout, no one bit. Since we both have kids not we cant get out to Mexico as much as we used to.
  2. I think it should go to someone who is actually will put it back together.
  3. Suspention is whatever the parts car had-think eibach springs and KYB's (rears are blown lol) Even with the bounce in the rear-it shits and gets! http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g251/westsideskates/mirage_zps3cc53fcb.jpg
  4. You know, f-ed up part is literally EVERYWHERE besides the US and Canada they sold these in AWD NA and turbo versions?!!?!? None came with 2.0 Turbos though, just 1.6 and 1.8. I'd love a 1.8t Awd Colt winter beater!
  5. Im sure someone here will love it
  6. I for one asked for a 5 minute epic build-up. :dumb:
  7. I wish I had those skills my friend! Positivity is contagious!
  8. And that's on OE t case/rear end and axles. The lack of weight and slicks help, but it still shows that you don't need to reinvent the wheel to go fast in these things, just do it right. Also big thanks to Erik @ http://www.backstreetper.com/ for the dyno time!
  9. Last few weeks have been spent back in Mitsubishi land. Had to tune a pile of cars before the DSM shootout, last but not least a fresh tune for El Mirage http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20140812_213805_815.jpg Just a mild 2.0L AWD swap in a $50 Mitsu Mirage. Ended up with 620whp out of a 10 year old GT35r in a small .63 turbine on a conservative cam 2 tune. He wanted a "all day long" tune, so I kept it safe None of the cars I tuned blew up, so I guess I did OK. El Mirage went 9.6@149 Matt Step did a killer job with this one. This car is dirty cheap for its performance ability and really gives me the itch to find yet another Colt and come to the AWD dark side. And before people say it's a one trick pony, old girl won the MAX EFFORT event-an autocross and drag race with a weighted points average. This car is set up to turn and stop as well as it goes. Its damn near the best budget build I could ever think of. We hope to do some time attack/hot laps with her next season.
  10. Jesus Bill. Stay strong. We are all here for you.
  11. Thats a long way to go to register a stolen bike . :gabe:
  12. I think someone on CR will buy or can find you a buyer pretty quickly.
  13. Used NOS kit-staight 4an no pill (250-300 shot) and borrowed slicks. # winning.
  14. Ha! Even I am not that thrifty. :dumb:
  15. Yes, ask for buy back- post it here+ a few bucks. Buy back is EASY- just your check less buyback=net check. I am 99$ sure you could get away with fixing that for 2-3k MAX especially since the air bags did not deploy. No subframe-all non OE front end parts, paint, DONE.
  16. Ah, I can’t see why you’re so "details oriented"
  17. Good work. Super Impressive with stock turbos. How did your day end up?
  18. Good to see you back on the horse. Side note-what is your profession/career?
  19. The problem with "looks good" is insurance companies will always find that loophole if something where to happen down the line. Same reason that they want to replace the LCA, even though it "looks good". There is no way for them to test it, or removal/testing cost more than the new part. Any issues with the dumb broad that hit you covering expenses? did the fact that she was" on the job" come into play?
