Mitsubishi Colt Evo 4x4

Hi guys - 1st post on here - borrowed some mags off a mate! Very good read like - most impressed! Anyway here is my little project car and a quick rundown on what it is...
Started life as a 1.6 colt and i began to mod it using parts off an evo i was breaking. I fitted engine, box, suspension, brakes, interior, fuel tank etc... and ran it fwd using a viscous coupling eliminator but it destroyed the gearbox so i then set about converting it to 4x4. I have nearly finished now with just a few jobs to do - i have ditched the interior now and its fully stripped, with safety devices cage, got fuel lines and new brake lines to fit and need to send prop off to get shortened.
Anyway pics...
an old pic before it was all painted showing blended wings etc...

Hi
haha - its a little project as its only a 2 litre motor - not 27 litre!!
it was all from a evo 1 - i have used most of the parts from the car and sold what i had left.
heres another quick pic of the rear end painted up

Nice stuff, that boot floor looks right tidy, it'd fool a lot of people into thinking it's original.
I like this sort of stuff when it's done right. I've seen a few abandoned prjects in the scrappy & thought nice idea but with that workmanship I'm glad you never got it on the road!

seeing the red interior with cage just reminds me of my 205

aiming for around 300bhp - 250 std but ts got a few tweeks - filter, decat, plugs + leads and gonna run 1.1 bar boost...
its a bit of both - it has mot - but its built mainly for the track
will be finished this weekend - me and my mate are gonna make the exhaust up - il take a few pics of that

[V all hail to the 8]

Very nicely done fella, that is going to be a seriously fun bit of kit and will be a major 'double take maker' any chance of posting a few vids of the first drive?

[dom_k]

yeah i will do - i posted a vid on youtube of it in 2wd form but couldnt get the sound to work and it was incar footage so didnt really show the speed too well. I think i am going to take it to elvington on 10th march as there is an airfield day there and that would be a good tester!! il get some vids then!!
