I've been watching this thread almost from the begining just sitting back minding my own buisness. Awsome work on everything. So impressed that i actualy bought a 79 colt today for $150. I'm giddy as a little school girl . Any good tips for getting started? This is so gonna be fun.

I haven't looked at this thread in a while. I'm amazed at the progress you've made with this car, Peregrine. Keep up the good work.

He lost the convertor, it will be several months before this car runs again. Ironically, our buddy with the supposed "weak" mighty max tranny in his later Colt can damn near pull the wheels and his tranny hasnt gone away yet.

A family in the Detroit area raced one in the rally circuit and autocross. Here is the autocross car:

Except when the shifter ripped out of the top when the bolts let gMG

NIIIIICE! At first I thought it was an episode of pinks, only without the ### flag guy. What was with the head start? Was it bracket? Anyway what did it run, thats so sick.

 

[my_precious]

Thats a vid of the car right now? How much more boost can you run? Also, what altitude was that at?

 

[1stGENracer]

I want to see an update!

 

[my_precious]

werd. pictures of it outside all finished, put a bicycle or something next to it to compair in size. i think its funny looking at pictures and then when you finally see it its like "whoa this is tiny".

 

[90gsxcar]

This car is pretty damn crazy. fastest car ive been in, and that was untuned and 12 psi.
crazy amounts of work into this, to damn crazy for me.

 

[peregrine]

11.2 didnt get a mph on this run. 17 psi on pump gas. ditched the POS GM maft for a 2G maf and it runs so much better its not even funny. my convertor took another shit so im ditching it and gonna have someone make me a one piece billet convertor. i guess the buschur convertors dont like 1.4 60's

[SBstar]

Finally some more progress!!! Nice run with that 11.2...

 

[Blizz92tsi]

WOW! Great job with the 11.2 on 17psi! Once you get the bugs worked out how much boost are you planning on running? How's the rest of the car coming along? I was so surprised to see the update in my e-mail account. Thank you for the update!

 

[olmytsi]

Vid didn't work for me.

 

[my_precious]

"vid removed by user"

11.2 is all you can do with that crazy beast? I know your still working out the kinks but i'd expect low 9s out of that wouldnt you? Light car, huge power = fast as f*(K

 

[SBstar]

It was only on 17 psi, I would consider that pretty good.

 

[my_precious]

Yeah, an 11.2 is good, i just was saying, or meant it in this way: I hope he pursues 9s or even 8s.
