  1. My car kicks arse, yours is shit. It;s currently running a 1600 4G32; read slow heap of gay shit, and to top that shit off it's fucking automatic which is probably the worst thing that has ever happened to society. Probably making 50hp at the engine, seriously But anyway, here's the mods ENGINE 2"exhaust from standard manifold with gay rice city dytech dumper on the back scraping on judder bars Crap restrictive ram-flo 8mm Leads New Coil And that's it, oh I painted the cam cover orange.

  2. Thought I may as well make a thread about it, and then I might get more motivated lol. I bought it in late 2006 from a mate at school for $400 AUD, it was a deceased estate thing. Anyways it was an auto 1600, yellow with stripes and covered in dents/rust. Both quarters rusted and dented, both doors the same, bonnet fair to good, hatch rusty and general surface rust everywhere. Apart from the Dash pad which is all cracked up, the interior is mint as and original. Bought some 13 x 7 minilite/superlite style rims for it during last year and will have to lip the guards I think (if someone could suggest a tyre size, not too much stretch etc but not balloons). Stayed under a tarp while we built new shed etc and have just recently been converting to it to manual. Once I figure out the tyre and wheel situation I will try and get it as low as possible and put an exhaust on it, though from what I hear it is hard to find extractors for it. Have fitted some crystal head lights to it but haven’t seen it with all the front panels and new lights on yet so we will see how that looks, trying to get it done by march this year for my P plates. Sorta got inspired by Lowlancer's old celeste and have been watching the forum every since, hence the style im building it in/wheel choice. so yeah...here it is Sorry about the paint, primer and matty b was just to get rid of some of the surface rust till i get around to paint and panel.
  3. I'm fairly new to these forums so hopefully I have done this correctly. I've been building up my 1981 Mitsi Celeste for about 18 months now. When I brought it for $400 she was running the std 4G32 that was using more oil than gas, but she was real straight with good paint and in original nick. A couple of months later I pulled the old donk out and slotted a 4G37 1.8L into her. This engine with it's eletronic dizzy and extractors made more torque and revs and turned it into a completly different car! Funny how things turn up when you least expect them isn't it??? I had been disgussing with a mate about the possibility of stuffing a 4G63BT from a Starion into the Celeste when a crashed 1985 1.8L Turbo Cordia came into my position for the meagre sum of $150. Body was stuffed but engine,Turbo, loom, ECU pretty much all mechanicals were mint. My mind was made up to use the 1.8 rather than finding a 2L as apart from a bit more stroke to get the other 200cc the 2 engines are almost identical. Took a bit of stuffing around with flywheels, starion engine mounts and manifolds but she was in and running well. The old TC06 turbo was a bit tired and smoked a bit but apart from that she ran 10psi and was bloody quick!!!! Found a cheap set of 15" mags so she diddn't have to run on the 13inch cookie cutters any more but it was always my intention to get some hotties or modgies before too long. Decided she badly needed suspention attention too so gave it the treatment with new gas struts all round and low kings in the front and 2" blocks in the arse. Really stiffnd up the ride and got rid of the 25+ year old bodyroll! Toyed with the idea of stripping her out, putting a cage in and doing car club with it but then decided that it was in too good a condition to cut up eh. So I decided to piss take abit and go 80's style's. Put the "Mitsubishi" banner across the top of the windscreen, added the rear louvre and did some re-upolistering inside. The inside is still a work in progress. Cruized around for a while like it was, picked up an LSD Diff and a few other bits and pieces for her. Then after a weekend down at the ChCh drags I saw a Starion running some quick times and I wandered over and yarned with the dude. He told me what he had done and the next weekend my engine was out and I started to rebuild it. Went for std gear for the rebuild with the exception of a Franklin Cams "turbo Grind" Cam and I shot-peened and balanced my rods. I was never going to boost the living shit out of it and the factory gear is pretty strong anyway. The main addition to the new engine was the Multipoint Manifold and TD04HL Evo Spec turbo. I also added a VR4 intercooler, V5 Link and cleaned and painted everything to within an inch of it's life! Found a couple of shitty cracks in my wastegate housing when I was putting it all back together so I removed the internal wastegate and made up an external. Used a 38mm Gate, figured that it should flow plenty for a 1.8 SOHC!! Had a break for a few months here to re-coup some cash and then took her in for intercooler piping and final shit. Went mental with blue silacone hosing but the overall effect is good and tidy. Fuel system is functional but still a bloody mess. It's in where the back seat used to be in a custom wood box. Running a Bosch lift pump and a Bosch 911 EFI pump. It's 1 area that I dinn't make any effort with making it look nice, figured it was gona be outa sight anywayz!!! Still got to get new carpet and shit 2. Managed to get me mittz on a new set of 13X7 Modgies. Happy as! Gona put 205X60X13 Bridgestone Potenza G Grids on them so should roadhold well. Next step is to drive it quietly into town for a reg and WOF. She's only running on the "StartUp" programe on the Link so it's gona be hard to stay off the boost! Hopefully my next post will have some good news on how the tuning of the link went and maybe a dyno sheet. I'm aiming for around the 200-250HP mark and with a lightish car like the Celeste it should make for some interesting driving especially in the wet. Got my new tyres on the modgies yesterday. Put them onto the car with a new set of wheel and lock nuts and I'm happy to say that I love it!!! Looks way tougher now and I've decided against putting the 2" flares on as it would not look right. The mags and tyres fill out the factory guards well and look sweet. Fair not the pics are on the way tomorrow night as I have the Digi on charge as I write this. Also did a bit of course tuneing on the Link in the weekend. I'm sort of learning as I go with it and it's bloody amazing just how much shit you can do.....or potentually fuck up!!! Got her running and iddleing sweet at what I think is about Stoichio so I took it for a little spin around the block. I never went above 3 grand and 3PSI boost but you could tell just from that little spin that it is going to be quite quick! Anyway Pic's up 2morrow.
