'96 Mitsubishi Colt

Started as:




Is now:



I've since sold the GT3s and am going down a slightly euro route next I think, but if a JDM wheel comes up at a good price i'll be straight in
Extremely tempted by these Meshs for sale on Edition 38:



Also it will be dumped even lower on Cusco Zero 1 coilovers asap!

Nice!
I cant say i ever notice many nice colts around but yours is one of them.

those reverse mesh's are teh secks, i bet there a bomb....

mmm me likey the ssr's not sure bout the gold every time i see gold wheel i think scabbys lol but ur colt looks sweet mate

reverse mesh FTW

ye i've sin those on e38, there nice tho man, would look ace on the colt!

£1300 is how much they are listed for atm, 14" so I think the underside of my car would get an absolute battering because its scrubbin sometimes on standard wheels with balloon tyres but damage is all part of the fitment scene eh

Cheers for clearing up the mesh thing too, I never know the difference between the mesh, formula mesh and reverse mesh blah blahh

yeah, im pretty sure there reverse mesh.

First project style post..

Unsiezed and dismantled all four Cusco Z1s and recieved new wheels, shame two don't hold air... minor problem!

Also recieved orange and yellow tinting spray finally

Here's a couple of shots:

Sick! those steelies will look hott

when you say unseized what do you mean? clean out or rebuild?

All three nuts- adjusting and two locking nuts were stupidly stuck, used heat which I'm sure isn't ideal as they are filled with an oil of some sort but have had to use heat on someone's before and they have lasted nearly a year now with no problems! Then cleaned all threads and greased up nicely! Took a large chunk of time but worth it to get my ride into the ground finally!

yeah man, sounds good, im sure the coilovers have higher heat tollerances than the heat youd use to free nuts.

you dropping the rear now then?

Ahh, it doesn't sit like it does in that pic, that was when my last set of coilies were siezed at the back lol, i unsiezed them and it now sits a little high at the front because the coilovers are made for a 2.0 v6 as my car is sporting a 1.6 and now I finally have matched Cusco coilies!

ahhhh, get pics up when these bad boys are on

Will do! Holla at a playa! lol

Small update, spare indicators are now orange. Decided I wanted a Personal steering wheel so here that is, the towing eyes and WOW tyre valves to fix my final wheel, got one fixed at the weekend but run out of valves

nice, i was after a personal wheel for a while. im interested to see how these amber corners look on a colt too.

Yeah, I've only ever seen one pic of a colt with them on..with the fogs yellow I think it'll be pretty decent frontal

i sold an mr2 i had, years and years ago now, with a mint personal wheel, back then i hadnt a clue what it was lol
wish i had kept it.

While on my eBay browsing for one, I came across two that came out of MR2s which included the MR2 boss, one sold for £109 or something, and another for £75 i think, one of them could have been yours!

i payed around £70 for my Personal steering with boss delivered from japan last year there a lovely wheel so nice to use im liking the plans for ur colt sound cool

I've actually just fitted mine as I read your reply lol, I was unsure as to whether my boss would take it because they are drilled differently to momo's but luckily mine was from thailand or something and the second set of holes fit it nicely. Now my 280mm Momo Team is for sale if anyone is in the market for one lol!

I really do wish i kept it now lol
Colt is looking sick, how do you find the cusco's? i was looking at a set befor ei bought my HKS Hipermax
are you 'Pallet's' mate? ive met him a couple of times up the orbitals, havent seen him up there for a while
