TRACK BEAST Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, lost touch with this forum after getting out of the star quest game. Anyways here i am coming back as i have came across a good deal on a 78 dodge colt or aka Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe. I bought this car 1/29/14 running, she's complete with everything in tact and thank god for no big rust issues anywhere. She is a 1.6 G32B carb'd 3 speed automatic. I've been researching other forums and found that the g54b is pretty much a bolt in swap also with the shocks and struts. So i will be converting this 1400 lb car into a power machine. full 5 speed swap with intercooler g54b. here are some pics. http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140131_163212_zps55b92da2.jpghttp://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140131_135836_zps5666954c.jpghttp://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140131_135744_zps0f5a408f.jpghttp://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140131_135703_zpsdeb2382d.jpghttp://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140131_135655_zpse9f6f234.jpg Edited February 8, 2014 by TRACK BEAST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have them reupholstered to black cloth and so they will be like new. but 70 bucks for the pair? not bad eh? http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Trackcious/20140202_140952_zps98155009.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
