smokey Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Project thread: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=35263 Heres the discussion thread for my Colt build. If anyone an help me out, Im looking for a wiring diagram for my FWD SOHC 4G63BT. Its out of a 89' Sigma GSR-X. I think it would be about the same as the cordia one, but not sure.

tyronj Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Love the car dude - i used to have one a few years back. I had big plans with and EVO engine, hilux diff, etc..... Ended up over my head (budget wise). In my defence i bought a house, got married and started a family so i kind needed the cash. I sold it for fuck all - what a knob end hahaha. Good luck with your build!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Slightly narrower rims or slightly more positive offset rims in the front would also solve the problem and you'd not have to run flares which would keep those lines nice and clean. The good thing about running narrower rims in front is that they're generally cheaper than wides and less popular so easier to get. Then you can either sell your other pair for profit$ or buy narrower rims in a set of 4 and have two sets of wheels for different occasions/another car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgySam Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Have always wanted one of these cos my Grandad had one back when I was a wee tacka. I agree with OMS...try not to use flares at all...keep the sweet sweet lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowaymandude Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Gidday, I was just wondering if any one has and would be willing to sell any Mitsubishi Galant Colt parts for a 1972 car? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannybattie Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice Colt, I've just purchased a '73 1600 Colt. She is in good nick but I am keen to upgrade the engine, can anyone advise on a straight forward (low cost) engine replacement for a 4G32? I'm keen to find a 2l ?

smokey Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Damn I wrote up a post for this thread months ago and it didnt work for some reason.. Anyway, I have canned the flares idea. I bought some and test fitted and felt they just didnt look right on the car. I am running starion struts up front now which tuck everything in about 20mm each side and works well with the previously rolled guards. My 14x7 longchamps with 195/60/14s fit pretty snug now so im pretty happy with the result. The struts have D2 coilovers and adjustable camber plates which help the tyres out with some camber. The struts still need to be welded up though.. I did also have to get some RCAs made up for everything to fit too. All in all it was quite a bit of work getting around having to use the flares lol. Hi Danny, My suggestion would be to run a Sigma/ L200 4G63 sohc with a carb setup. Either standard or maybe a webber 32/36? You can run a sigma gearbox with the L200 Tail housing. The diff should handle it fine too. This is what I'd do if I was going non turbo. I saw your car on trademe so if you still have it, you should go ahead with a conversion aye.
