  1. DUN DUN DUUUUUUN; http://blog.retro-classics.co.nz/?p=1925 im pretty sure that was the 'pocket rocket' colt, not 100% sure tho but they were a limited addition colt only released in the states correct me if im wrong?
  2. well sorry bout letting you down, if i brought the exact same car recently i definately would of kept the original paint job bu as a first car i was soo eager just to muck around with it and what not. as for the engine i had been looking for a veeery long time trying to find a 4g37 but they are so rare nowadays and if i brought 1 through dodsons it would of made a massive dent in my bank account where as the 4g32bt popped up for only $100 which was a steal for the condition. Im stripping it down within the next few weeks and gonna be cleaning it up, replacing all the gaskets, seals, cambelt and tensioner and flick a new coat on all the parts. was thinking a black theme with the rocker cover and turbo powder coated in either fluorescent orange or pink. cheers for the extra info, all is appreciated. was planning on putting either a tc06 or td04 . thanks
  3. haha cheers for all the negative feedback. Btw the taco is pretty terrible, will be taking it off when i can be fucked, the one on the gauge cluster doesn't work and i spent ages trying to sort it tand i eventually gave up (was actually a gauge from the 1400glx model, why? because i misplaced my original, which didnt have a taco when i started to work on the interior). as for the paint job was just a cheap can job which cost me a massive $80 and when i get the funds together i will most likely be getting it painted black with a crimson pearl or possibly a bright tangelo orange or wateva. thought it would of been nice to chuck it on here as it is the only one. also to see what ideas all of you had in mind and helpful tips with the car rather than the majority of which who were being wankers about it. thanks guys.
  4. Engine is a g32b turbo out of a mkII mitsubishi mirage (1984-88 i think) and the dodge & plymouth colt 'pocket rockets' that were released in 1984. -engines only done about 140,000km -turbo has no play (will probs be upgrading to a td04 or something) -seems pretty choice, compressions sweet and what not -gonna replace all the seals and gaskets before i chuck it in -gonna get a 13b turbo intercooler for it (the front mount, not the top mount) will be more to come in the next few weeks
  5. Just picked up the g32b turbo engine from hamilton 2day. ill post up some pictures 2mro of it
  6. ok heres some more pics of the rage... -pictures of the re done interior (tis very dirty atm as i couldnt b effd cleaning it) -pics of the 4.5" rps dumpy -and pics of the new front end (as i mentioned last post how some bitch effd the radiator by reversing into me the front panels, grille and bumper also needed to be replaced, got some shiney replacements ) ^^ still need to retrim the card for the back of the rear seats. Sound specs -Pioneer head unit -kicker 6.5" speakers in the front -kicker 6x9"s in the back -Rockford Fosgate Punch 12" sub (i think its 1200watt?) -Pioneer 1400watt amp sorry again, photos look like ass even though they were taken with a way better camera (glare effd me over).
  7. Forgot to mention... -Picked up the car for $750 just up the road and it has only done 89,000kms genuine (Third owner, first owner had it garaged for about 15 years or so and second owner had it parked up on their lawn for about a year). -The engines just a lil saturn 4g11 1244cc with a 4speed engine (doesnt have the supershifter tho ) absolutely stock, just resprayed the rocker cover and replaced the radiator as the last one got ragged in a crash (stupid bitch reversed into the front of my car )
  8. Been following this forum for a while now and i finally decided to post a lil somethin ay. 1982 Mitsubishi Mirage MkI GL (2 door) I purchased this car when i about 14 months ago and havent really done much so far, bombed it black and redid most of the interior ( re carpet and retrim doorcards, steering wheel, custom gear knob that i made and bout a grands worth of car audio. sorry about the poor photo quality, were taken off my old phone a while back. when i first got it... interior.. Then got it bombed in flat black... ^^ needs to be sacked badly Then started pulling the interior apart to black out.. will upload some more photos soon of how the interior looks now off a better camera phone (5megapixel). Future Plans -A 4g32bt engine will be getting dropped into it within the next few months. -Got some fd rx7 seats to drop into it. -Get car lowered. -Get some rims (wana get some widened steelies or some oldskool dished rims) -Get alarm in and fix central locking. -Get car repainted professionally (or to a better standard) sweet as
