Progress On My 63T Swapped Colt

[tlikethedrink]

hmm im 100% it was AWD. not sure what year it was tho. i like this one better anyways.

Swaybar is in, engine is sitting on the hoist to be dropped in, just waiting on the correct halfshaft (yes, I know I can bolt it up after the engine is in but why bother). Mirrors are body colored now, found a pair of power mirrors that have the correct patina (faded red plastic!) as the rest of the car. Front intercooler no longer pushes the bumper out so the nasty bulge is gone. Yanked the sunroof off of it to redo the seal and pop the dent in the roof. Sunroofs suck!!

That IROC on the side must be really pissed at you.

That IROC on the side must be really pissed at you.

I was thinking the same thing

The firebird formula has no opinion because it has it's own problems (like a rod through the side of the block curtesy of the previous owner).

Any Updates?

 

[dsmfa9nutter]

Sorry guys! Of course there's updates.


First startup, had an idle issue. Turned out to be an injector seal was messed up and letting air into the intake.

Walkaround from test fitting the sideskirts. Turn your sound off unless you like listening to people chewing gum.

Startup/idle/rev with about 600 miles on it.

It's currently my DD and takes anything I can throw at it. I've since swapped on 1g awd rear gr2's with stock awd springs, 1g awd agx's with sportline lowering springs on those. This was all after the vids were shot. This suspension setup rides like it's on rails, little bumpy and has lowered the car a good 1 1/2-2" all around and got rid of that ugly wheel gap.

4G63T w/F5M33 w/6 puck sprung w/11lb aasco aluminum flywheel
Turbo CSM axles w/turbo csm half shaft setup
14b @ 16psi
FP race manifold
stock intake (shaved+ported)
2.5" aluminum piping
Evo V intercooler
Maf-T w/3" GM
Honda Radiator w/1155cfm slimline wired on at key on
Strut bars front+rear
Stripped interior (no stereo/speakers/rear seats/carpet, everything from the front seats back)
Stock colt suspension (at time of video)
Turbo CSM sway bar
2.5" SS o2 housing
2.5" Dp-to-3" megan exhaust, I think it was made to fit a 2g awd
Synapse Bov (not on in the videos, that's surge you hear )
A1000 w/braided feed+return lines
Coil on plug

The white sideskirts are from a JDM cyborg imported from new zealand, the midwing was imported from jamaica. Everywhere else in the world got all the cool versions (awd, cyborg's, etc). So I gotta bring parts in from everywhere.

Looks awesome. Where in WI are you from?

 

[meliketoball]

Wow, that is kick ass. I wonder how much it weights. So what kind of rim are you gonna throw on that thing? I always liked the 15x8 0+ Sportmaxx 002s.

 

[GofaST4life]

you should do a vid of it on the road...i wanna see it in action

 

[324vr4]

Looks great! Nice work! Best looking engine in a colt

Not to rain on his parade, as we do like him a lot on the 4g61 site, but mine is better.

Shutup Steve, get your own thread! Make me a set of solid mounts already!


I might be hittin the track on sat, hopefully some vids of runs then. It weighs *around* 2300lbs depending on if I eat a big meal beforehand. I've got a set of goldbronze w/silver lip 5 spokes that I can't remember the name of (kinda look like rotas but not rotas) and they'll be wrapped in 205/45/16 "summer only"'s. I definately need more tire, she'll stay flat on a 30mph turn, at 35 I slide all 4. haha

Kottyking, I'm about 30 miles east of you in a little sh*thole named watertown. Are you on widsm?

Vids that were removed are on my youtube page, search user "mechacode".

You would be the 4th swapped colt that I know of, there's another one in watertown and one up north.
