time to post some pics up of my colt

[hendo]

ok its stock at the moment apart from a gauge pod that is almost fininshed and i will post the pics of that when it is finished

[hendo]

and some more

[lovecolt]

Nice pics Hendo. But why is your number plate a SA plate? I always thought you are from Brissy or Melb?? And i like the rice sticker on your bonnet :D

[hendo]

thanks yeah that sticker is for when you are on the track so they know where the battery is

[lovecolt]

You serious?? Its not like you have pull switch to turn off your rcolt in times of accident like the real race cars :D

[hendo]

yep i can fit one of thoes things but its easyer to just have a sticker but you still need a sticker whith them any whay

[slowest ver r]

Hello hendo...wow..very nice pics...thanxs for showing to us.;)

[hendo]

thanks man

[hendo]

the pod i made

[lovecolt]

That's nice, Hendo! Do you have more pics on it......as in like from the side of the pods?

[hendo]

yeah i will take some tomorrow

[hendo]

ok here are some more

[hendo]

the zorst is on

[lovecolt]

no muffler at the back?

[hendo]

yeah there is a resinator and an offset straight threw muffler at the rear

[Steve-B]

nice work...

[hendo]

thanks still have alot of stuff i want to do but bein a second year apprentice it takes me a little bit of time

[hendo]

i now have some sweet k speed mags on it, i will post pics tomoz

[hendo]

sorry about quality it was taken on my phone

[fuse01]

beautiful rims!!!! and what that blue triangle doing there?:)

[lovecolt]

beautiful rims!!!! and what that blue triangle doing there?:)

That's for when tracking the car at race track, the officials will know where the battery's located in times of emergency

Nice rims btw ;)

[fuse01]

good safety sticker!!! never saw one before in asia tracks

[hendo]

thanks guys

[Steve-B]

how much did the mags and rubber set you back ? have a dry weight for the rim ?
and fuse, for motor racing here we have those blue stickers so that the rescue crews know where the battery is located in the car.

[aby82]

looking good man!

[hendo]

rims and rubber 1480 but dont know weight

[27AME]

rims and rubber 1480 but dont know weight

What are your next plans, Cooler? Pod? Turbo? Suspension?

Looks like your slowly creating a nice car man :)

[hendo]

well it has kings in it at the moment but i recon coilovers then a dump pipe and new filter

[hendo]

my car at autosalon

[aby82]

nice photos hendo... especially the last 4... ;) lol

[Macca]

When the said 20% off them shirts did the girls know it ment off there length :P

Hi there Hendo,

how did your exhaust end out, did you notice any resonable gain in power (any dyno results) and how loud is it? Is it very drony (likely to attract too much attention?), or is it similar note to the original?:) what did you pay for it?

[hendo]

sounds nice no drone and not to loud. price was 900 or 950 but thats cause it was stainless. power not that much better but thats cause to realy see any differance you need to get the restrictive dump pipe out. i dont have any results yet as i didnt get to do a run the other day but when i get a day off i will go down and get a power run done. but i put on i pipe the other day that takes out that second pipe and also fitted the filter and it makes it alot better i think

[Corosith]

Hi hendo

what brand of tyres did you get put on your K-Speeds, and how have you found them so far RE grip & wear:) ?

[hendo]

the kumoh package from wheelworx

[hendo]

a pic from my clubs camp and kahnacross

[Corosith]

AAARRRRGGGHH - dirt! I know the cars have some rally heritage but I don't know if I'd put my colt through that - especially if I had a black colt!! Where abouts was that held (with EV/GSR club I gather), I must join up soon? Also love the black "rally" wheels!:p

[lovecolt]

a pic from my clubs camp and kahnacross

The car looked at home when its in the dirt ;)

[hendo]

that was the first 1 we have done and it was up at Jaimstown

[hendo]

if you are interested in joining i will bring a form along. also do you guys want me to get some evos to come along as well

[MLT.32E_RCOLT]

sorry what was the details

[hendo]

sorry what was the details
dirt kahnacross/motokhana with the club im in mitsubishi GSR/EVO club

[MLT.32E_RCOLT]

nice have you guys ever done a track day yet i would love to go to one of them, oran park is preaty good for that

[hendo]

yeah we have 1 that we run every year at mallala (S.A based club) with about 50 cars

[MLT.32E_RCOLT]

dam it how do you org it and how do you usally run it i might org one for syd

[hendo]

alot of work and about 5 grand. but you can go to training days and just get a groupe of guys together and go out for a blast

[Corosith]

if you are interested in joining i will bring a form along. also do you guys want me to get some evos to come along as well
1 Hour Ago 06:00 PM

Yes that would be good thanks, would be good to see a couple of Evo'smaybe to make up some numbers, probably end up watching them disappear into the distance!:)

[Macca]

Man i wouldnt have the balls to take my r colt off road, i dont even like unsealed roads!

Also the wheels sheem to be getting quite close to them guards ;)

MLT.32E_RCOLT's I have been informed of a wakefield park open day around november, ill get more info soon!

[hendo]

yeah they were rally wheels as well so even les room to move

[lovecolt]

MLT.32E_RCOLT's I have been informed of a wakefield park open day around november, ill get more info soon!

This is why Ralliart come up with a front / rear underbody cover for protecting your car if you ever rally it. ;)

For wakefield open day, pretty much everyday's a open day over there unless its pre-booked for the day.

[radiostar69]

Nothing like getting the Colt nice n dirty! Pity i rarely get the chance!

[Catford]

look how shiney we are hendo! When do we see HIDs, TBE and MR BOV hendo?

[hendo]

lol soon sonn its come some way since then

[hendo]

new intake done will post pics soon

[hendo]

here is a pic of my other car almost finished

[Corosith]

Are you planning to hillclimb it at Collingrove hendo, or take it out to Mallala, or both?:)

[hendo]

it will be for both and when i cant use it i will use the colt

[hendo]

ok got the pics of the intake car is very dirty but thats what you get for living on a dirt road

[hendo]

the new shift knob and the matching backing for my scangauge

[hendo]

and a few random pics

[Steve-B]

mate, whats the lowest intake temps can you get with the air intake, my concern is that the intake you are using is plastic, and the water temp in tha radiator pipe sometimes gets up to 83degrees and the intercooler pipe gets quite how as well. With it picking up Just from the bottom you will also get alot of dirt and air born bugs etc, prob should get them to check your filter each service as well. Other than that man the cars looking really sick...good job !

[Macca]

nice knob ;)
I was going to get that one, but i went for the piano black one cause it was alot heavier.

Intake also looks the goods too

[lovecolt]

i don't think the radiator intercooler pipe's temp is of much concern to the intake. The way i see it, is that the speed of air going through the intake pipes, should be much quicker than the radiated intake pipe.

[hendo]

the temps are not as good in the heat of the day due to the road being so hot but the hottest i have seen it was 46 and that was on a 40+ degree day after sitting in the sun but at night or after it has rained wow thats all i can say. but i will be making a new scoop soon that picks up the ari a bit better

[Steve-B]

lovecolt ur post makes no sense. Of course the intercooler and radiator pipe make a difference. Go for a drive and when the car is hot stop and jump out and try and hold ur hand on the radiator pipe without it burning, and the intercooler holds alot of heat. Now if your intake pipe is made of plastic or any material that doesnt withstand heat, then it is going to heat up when the engine does and then it defeats the point of changing it. The radiator pipe like i said gets up to 83 degrees sometimes, so i suggest either heat taping the rad pipes, or maybe a heat shield for the intake pipe. I have seen these pipes at auto-one, and to me it looked like they were thin plastic. That was my thoughts on it.

[lovecolt]

I think you don't understand what i'm saying, Intercooler and radiator pipe's heat will radiate and indirectly heat up the intake pipe. With open spaces and min contact area, the intake pipe will not heat up to be as hot as those pipes. Then, you have to think how quick the heated intake pipe will heat up air when its in it. If the air is still, obviously it will get heat up rather quick. But if you have a massive amount of air coming through from the front, the heated intake pipe will not be able to heat it significantly anytime before the air actually entered the air filter. In fact, the amount of cold air coming in, will cool down the intake pipe that heated indirectly by other things.

Whether if the plastic of the intake piping used will long, its another question.

[Steve-B]

hmm, well all i can say is what i have seen and tested myself. Before the water temp reaches it max of 80 degrees the air temps can get as low as 18degrees at night. But when the water temp reaches 80degrees the air temp will not go below 23degrees, BECAUSE the radiator pipes heat is very hot. When you hit to go pedal and the turbo is sucking and spooling, yes the air temp goes down by 1 or 2degrees But its the rad and intercooler pipe that bring the temp back up. So yes you are right when the car is stationary, but what i am saying is, that having the pipe there where hendo has situated it, in the middle of heat central it will attach more heat, if the material of the pipe doesnt stop heat coming through more, it wont be as efficent and his driving temps could be even higher that my 23-25degrees because of its location and its material used. IMO

[Corosith]

Nice one Hendo, I see you have been busy tinkering with your ride - I too have got a carbon panel to refit my scangauge, just waiting for this heatwave to disappear before I venture out into the sauna, errr - workshed!:D

[hendo]

got a gizzmo EBC to fit now:cool:

[Steve-B]

nice, make sure you give us a good write up and install details !!

[hendo]

well i fitted the boost controller and it now boosts to 14psi and spikes at 14.9psi with no engine light (yet) i will do a wright up for you guys so stay tuned to this thread

[hendo]

Ok to start of with I will not be held responsible for any damage done to your car after the installation. And I have not gone into limp mode yet but I will not say that it will or will not happen

the install is very straight forward start of by removing the standard hose on the boost solenoid then run the hose from the solenoid to the input of the aftermarket solenoid then run the output of the aftermarket solenoid to the brass nipple that goes down to the waste gate, then that’s the first part done:)

Next you have to T into the line that goes to the (FPR) fuel pressure regulator. T into the hose that goes to the FPR solenoid it has some spiral plastic around it. The t you have just put in will run to the gizzmo IBC in the cabin. Now just run the hose and the wiring from the aftermarket boost solenoid through the hole in the firewall. From hear it’s easy as. Connect the red wire from the IBC to the blue wire on the back of the cigarette lighter then the black wire of the ibc to the chassis. Then connect the hose from the FPR to the back of the IBC and you are done. Just follow the start up info in the book and you are all good. I set mine to 14psi and a gain of 2% it now spikes at about 14.3psi if you set it to 3% it will almost hit 15psi. Hope this helps people out.

[Macca]

not bad hendo, make sure you have clamps on all the pipes too.

hows the boost hold, does it still drop?

[hendo]

holds steady drops to 13.5 then back to 14

[Catford]

well done hendo - looking forward to getting a debrief.

[hendo]

i tried swapping the hoses around cause the computer started dropping the boost to like 6psi and you wouldnt beleave it, the power i got was crazy but thhen after about 20mins the computer started going NAUGHTY NAUGHTY and put on the fuel cut on at 4000rpm. and than i thought hang on the standard system is a bleed system. so i did it all wrong so i will muck around a bit later

[hendo]

ok i fitted a manual boost controller instead just using the gizzmo as a gauge now which is good cause it shows what it spikes at and i think it has a 12volt output for water spray.
here is a link that show what i did but i used a GFB boost controller

http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_1905/article.html

[hendo]

ok i have started building my bracing here is a shot of how the rear strut bar is attached it will get painted once i have finished the rest of it cause it will be turned into a k brace. but as it is the car seems to not squat as much when takin of and also more responsive

[27AME]

Wonder what your A/F Ratio's were like running 14psi? I remember when I took the wastegate actuator line off and free boosted the car, I could tell it was running extremely lean. But if you say it had good power with that then I guess once someone puts some serious time into tuning the car we may see some really positive results..

[hendo]

yeah im gona try to get it on a dyno this week

[Macca]

looking good with the brace, did you do the work yourself?

[hendo]

yeah first attempt at welding

[hendo]

a few pics of my race pipe didnt take any when it was on but all i can say is that it was loud, but i will get some movie footage when we have our trackday on the 9th

[Macca]

that dump is nuts and awesome, I want one hehe

[Steve-B]

read my copy of 21st performance last night hendo, and unless our solenoid is a closed loop, there is no reason to run the MBC parralel to the solenoid. It states " if you want the boost curve to be similar " " but with a higher boost level at higher rpm " thus the ecu still controls the boost and you only gain a higher amount in higher rpm. By removing the solenoid in my case, the boost comes on earlier, stronger and has a far faster response that stock. Maybe have a re-read over it again.

[hendo]

i will have a read again but I was sure they did that for open loop cars, but any how im happy with what I have done. What’s the max boost you can put on before the CEL? the main reason I like it like this is due to the engine protection is still in place, it may not feel as strong as doing it your way but it gives me peace of mind and its the way the guys do it in Europe if im not mistaken

[kuro]

any chance of making some more rear strut braces for forums members?
paid of course...

[Steve-B]

.9 bar i hit boost cut, .82bar is fine.

[Trickster]

I agree with SteveB the car is lots more responsive with a MBC and the solenoid out of the loop.

BTW SteveB when you say boost cut, is that when the CEL comes on?

[1MinuteMan]

Me too. The car is much more responsive at the low end after installing the MBC and bypassing the solenoid. And this without having to raise the peak boost level. I'm still running 0.8 bar. The wonders of eliminating wastegate creep...

Actually, I don't quite understand how the original boost control design works. With the T-piece connecting boost to both the wastegate and solenoid at the same time, wouldn't the wastegate always see boost and be partially open? And how does the solenoid control the wastegate?

[hendo]

its a bleed system..i may have to try it with the electronic controller but any how at the moment i will be fixing my car (hit a fox last night) how do i take of the front bumper? as for strut braces i will be making the very soon just looking into a few differant ideas

[Macca]

front bar mate, take the plasic from underneith off, then on the side there is 2 screws, one right on the bumper join and one lower, take the plates off, there is 2 bolts behind that, pop the bonnet, and thake the 4 clips of the top of the grill.

the sides of the buper at the flairs clips in, so pull them out, there is 2 small alignment pins at the bottom of the upper grill so lift there and pull back enough to unplug fog lights, then pull all off.

[hendo]

cheers

[hendo]

fitted my MR BOV i recon it feels better and it holds boost better im using the gizzmo boostcontroller as a gauge still and it isnt moving down in boost so much in the high rpm

[hendo]

ok an update just moved the battery to the boot now and it makes a big differance to the ballance of the car, feels much better

[why_bother]

Did you end up making a false floor to bolt the battery onto? After I did the fibreglass mould of the boot I wouldn't trust that thin flimsy shit holding the carpet down. Not with the weight of a lead acid battery (and I assume you don't drive like a grandpa). That shit will rip into pieces, I think it's just masonite.

Bunnings sell pieces of 6mm MDF that will cover the boot no problems for about $8, and it'd be very very easy to throw some carpet (even the factory stuff if you wanted to) over the top. Got any photos of the battery box etc?

[hendo]

i put mine right through the floor to be safe, i know that meant drilling into the body but i wanted to do it propper. i will post pics up soon

[Macca]

How did you run the cable(s) down? And what did you do to the massive +ve terminal on the battery? I would love to move mine down the back, bit i love my boot space, but moving it down the back would create a massive area for an awesome airbox.

[snowy]

car looks tough mate. what size rims you got there? they 18s?

[Corosith]

They are 17" I believe!

[hendo]

i have had to leave that + terminal where it is as there are to many cables going into it but i am going to try and hide it when i make my new air box.. as for the power lead i ran it where you would run the power for the amp.

and now for the wheels yeah they are 17"

[Macca]

did you earth the batt in the boot or run a 2nd wire to the earth under the hood?

[hendo]

i ran 2 earthing points to both child restraint bolting points in the boot

[hendo]

God i love your rims lol!

[Corosith]

Cool! Hendo in the forest rally! Nice pics, thinking of changing my wheel colour to black or a nice dark bronze finish!:)

[hendo]

that would be cool

[T-Jet]

the pod i made


I dont mean this in a rude way but, i dont like that POD :S It looks tacky. Im not a fan of stick on's. But saying that, i dont think I can make anything as good as that myself. :)

[hendo]

if you mean the gauge pod i got rid of that cause i couldnt get it the way i wanted it. now i have a scangauge and a boost gauge in 1 of the air vents

[why_bother]

you car is red :)

[T-Jet]

if you mean the gauge pod i got rid of that cause i couldnt get it the way i wanted it. now i have a scangauge and a boost gauge in 1 of the air vents

Yes thats what I meant. Cool would look heaps nicer IMO :)

[Morph]

good stuff hendo

[hendo]

just made a swaybar / link bar thingy the other day works a treat will post pics soon

[ommeh]

Please do!

Awesome stuff by the way hendo :)

Also let us know how the ride quality is with the tien!! :)

[aby82]

keep it up hendo :D

[bunnybash]

just made a swaybar / link bar thingy the other day works a treat will post pics soon

care to make any extras and sell them on here?? cmon and get those pics up anyways!!

[hendo]

i want to get one fabed up and then tested on another rcolt first, just to check that it does work, and its not just me.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/hendo99/car%20pics/000_0014.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/hendo99/car%20pics/000_0016.jpg

[hendo]

i want to make the plate about double the thickness i think it may be a tad thin

[hendo]

So far the tien have been good but i have only just started to drive with them on as i have been at autosalon all weekend, they seem to be getting firmer as i go, the comfort level is gr8 not harsh at all but i am thinking i will get some custom springs made up as i dont think they will be good for track. the ones i have are aus spec so its all god if they fail. realy if you have any questions just ask. I will let you guys know how they are in a week or so also.

Also a shot of my power run from autosalon and i will also get some shots up of the girls for you lads soon.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/hendo99/car%20pics/08_11_0.jpg

[ommeh]

I'm loving the black and red!!

[27AME]

So you pulled 110fwkW or what?

Very interested in how the tein's go man, although I definitely think I would go for some higher spring rates than what tein offer. The BC Coilovers that Pro-Speed automotive (site sponsor) sells seem to have the spring rates spot on. Let me know if you upgrade the springs to higher rates.

I'm definitely guessing you're the same as me and won't bat an eyelid to a stiffer ride for the performance gains it will serve.

[Corosith]

The power reading is in green up the top left corner, Hendo ran 108kw atw, which is pretty good (he has the TMR mod). :)

[Macca]

Damn looking good man

108fwkw very nice!

[why_bother]

Yeah that's a pretty respectable result isn't it!

Hey hendo, I was thinking about how we were talking that day about the butterfly valve setup in the exhaust etc etc, have you seen the varex muffler? Could have some useful bits and pieces

[hendo]

chears guys

and to Jason yeah i have started to fab somthing using a product from drift its gona stay hush hush for now till i have a working item ;)

nice one :D

how hard was it moving the batt out to the rear?

[hendo]

easy as, just not cheap cost around $200 i think

[ommeh]

Wow. How long did it take to do?

I want to move it out of there cause its a so god dam huge ><!

[27AME]

Definitely the way to go if you're getting a pod though. I think that is next on my to-do list - battery relocation. Tell me, how long is the AFM? You've obviously moved the pod filter across a bit so how hard was it to make the AFM reach across? Piece of Piss?

[hendo]

Wow. How long did it take to do?

few hours not long al all

there isnt much length in it at all, but you can extend it if you need to wouldnt be hard to do, i was gona do that to make a better box but couldnt be stuffed

[Adam]

Very nice pics hendo.

How are the Tein's going??? Are they ok for the track?

[me516]

great pics Hendo! your becoming quite the photographer :)

[hendo]

Very nice pics hendo.

How are the Tein's going??? Are they ok for the track?

yeah not to bad at all, they are gr8 when you turn off the traction controll on the track, they make it like a dori dori colt lol

[hendo]

great pics Hendo! your becoming quite the photographer :)


thanks some shots arnt mine they are a bloke from my club his water mark is 265T Photography

[ommeh]

I'm loving the bronze so much now lol. Looking good hendo :D

[Unforgiven]

it looks good on the track :) did u have fun in the wet? :p

man that last sthot ehre didn't didn't want to me load looks mint!

[hendo]

chears guys nah didnt have any spins had a few near ones though

[Julz]

hehe got a helmet on that looks like the Stig :)

btw ur rims look like they have rubber band tyres on them! rims look huge!

[hendo]

ok i have done my cooler works well just dosnt boost as hard so i may have to have a play to get the boost up a little more

[why_bother]

hey mate good stuff getting the fmic sorted, i think the length of the piping will be the cause of that.

[Corosith]

Yeah, Matt's colt produced less boost after fitting the intercooler, but still made a fair bit more power as a result of removing the restrictions. Maybe thats why he managed to get away running the standard ECU despite the significantly higher power output??:)

[hendo]

well it is now running the same boost again i think its worked its self out, boosts a little slower though

[Adam]

Can you post up some pics Hendo??

[aby82]

ya wheres ur pics hendo?? :p

[hendo]

i have had a few probs so i dont want to post pics yet its been throwing into limp mode but with no fault codes coming up then it also went crazy on the free way and i thought i had blowen it. so back to the drawing board

[Macca]

describe what it was doing!

[Corosith]

Is it running too much boost due to the combo of the TMR mod & intercooler?

[Adam]

Sorry to hear about the limp mode, i hope you didn't hurt your engine

[aby82]

thats a bit of a bummer dude.. hope u find what the prob is

[hendo]

it is running lower boost than before, it was running ruf when you started it with the pod so i mved it back to the other air box, and that fixed that part, then when i am going along it will be finr then it slowly losses boost till it only boosts to 5psi then after a little bit it goes into limp with P1235.

[Macca]

Code No. P1235: Trustful Check Air Flow Sensor
FUNCTION
• Compare the actual measurement of volumetric
efficiency by an air flow sensor signal with volu-
metric efficiency estimated from a throttle position
sensor (main or sub) signal.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
• While engine is running.
• The throttle position sensor (main or sub) is nor-
mal.
• The air flow sensor is normal.
Judgment Criteria
• The difference between volumetric efficiency esti-
mated from the throttle position sensor (main)
and volumetric efficiency estimated from the
throttle position sensor (sub) exceeds the speci-
fied value.
• The difference between volumetric efficiency
(actual measurement) by the air flow sensor and
volumetric efficiency estimated from the throttle
position sensor (main) exceeds the specified
value.
• The difference between volumetric efficiency
(actual measurement) by the air flow sensor and
volumetric efficiency estimated from the throttle
position sensor (sub) exceeds the specified
value.
PROBABLE CAUSES
• Failed air flow sensor
• Damage in air flow sensor circuit or loose con-
nector contact
• Failed intake air system
• Failed engine-ECU


IMO

Re-check all your cooler connections and commections before the turbo to make sure no air is getting in or out.

Also check what the MAF sensor is mounted to.

then check all the turbo wastegate lines.

also if youhave upped the boost stick it back to normal solinoid.

If you wanna know what was causing it do it one at a time.

[hendo]

chears mate

[hendo]

all sorted i hope car is working now

[Corosith]

What was it, something simple?:)

[hendo]

boost leaks

[Adam]

Glad to hear it is all better :D

[Frogman]

i like that rear pipe more and more... its not too loud is it?

[27AME]

Froggy I put a rear muffler on my car now with no resonator or cat or anything and its not too loud at all...

Wait, you didn't hear it with the straight rear pipe did you? haha... I'll put that back on for you for the next cruise :p

I got a flange so I can swap it over whenever I want..

[hendo]

i found with a straight pipe i lost power so i put on a resinator from a commy worked a treat

[filofaith]

yupz i got the same problem wid my straight pipe, colts really need the muffler :D

[hendo]

i have just made a new airbox with the k&n pod filter (one with the flat filter top on it) and had a new pipe made to the turbo and now for some reason it stays around 15 16psi and doesnt drop. will post pics up soon

[why_bother]

sounds good

[Corosith]

Look forward to seeing some pics, so the boost stays at a consistent 16-16psi without any drop off at higher revs? Maybe the inlet is a big restriction, I've also heard of rubber inlet pipes (ie S14 200sx), contracting/collapsing under full boost, limiting power and causing all sorts of issues, I wonder if that is relevant to our cars?:)

[hendo]

may be but yeah sits round the 15 16 psi

[hendo]

nice pics hendo, the rcolt's looking sweet. catfords bus is pimp as, loving it!

[Corosith]

Some drool worthy cars there Hendo! What's up with all the advertising, is there a rally somewhere - maybe I should check the EVO/GSR site!:)

[MissRalliart]

Haha your car looks the best out of all those other white lancers in the pic! ;)

[Macca]

man that TME is seriously hot man! i want one aha

[ob1tanobey]

wow the colt looks great in rustic color...

[hendo]

[Macca]

Tripod action HOT!

What supention you running again?

[hendo]

the tien coilovers for the normal colt

[Corosith]

Great pic Hendo, amazing how close the bumper is getting to the tarmac!:)

[BN01]

Tripod-ing ftw!

Always good to see the Colts getting a hammering on the track.

[hendo]

just an update guys i have 3 weeks of from may 11 (getting lasik surgery) but when i can see well enough again i am going to a guy called Steve Knight he owns SKR a tuning house in S.A, he has done a reflash on the evo ten and ralliart lancer and recons he will be able to reflash the computer. He was the test driver for mitsubishi australia so he knows his stuff and has lots of contacts to help. so ill keep you posted if he can do it

[why_bother]

sounds good, did he get the flash from TMR or was it his own?

[hendo]

he will be doing it him self he has a dyno and everything, does alot of evos in s.a and i mean alot, ive seen his work and its gr8

[Adam]

Dam that is good news!

[Morph]

awesome news hendo, ive heard excellent stuff about Steve Knights work

[hendo]

yeah fingures crossed

[hendo]

also recomend getting camber pins we need 12mm ones

[Corosith]

Is that to run some more negative camber on the front? Might chew your tyres out too much for road duties, but good for the track though (all depending on how much camber of course):)

[hendo]

yeah im only running Neg 1.5 right and Neg 1 left i have crappy hard tyres on now to try and get over 10 000km and with the pins it makes them feel ok compared to b4

Looking good hendo!

Love the bridge pics, make me wanna do am fmic, i need some OT!

[filofaith]

nice car, should get them side skirts from the group buy... make the car perfect :)

im thinking bout painting my FMIC black...

[hendo]

yeah will def have to i recon

[Morph]

tuff hendo!

[Corosith]

Great pics Hendo, did you get around to re-doing the paint work on your wheels or is it pointless considering the roads around your area? What camera were you using?:)

[hendo]

nah starting to chip already, but may be geting new wheels soon they are pretty warped so i have been toled. as for the camera its the 400D

[hendo]

well bad news took my car to see if the tuner i know can do his magic and the answer is know he can tune the evo X and ralliart lancer but when he trys the colt it says it has a interface problem or somthing... but he said to check back in a month and see if he has sussed it.

[Corosith]

Bugger! Someone must know a way around the issues that most tuners are having with the colt!! Oh well, the more people on the job the sooner they be able to find a fix I guess.:rolleyes:

[filofaith]

i brought my colt into a workshop that reflashes EVO X ecus... and no luck...

[hendo]

gona be testin the k sport coilovers soon to get some info for them to work out any problems so there could be a good option for people soon, if they work i may have my tein's up for sale aswell

[hendo]

thaught id post a pic of my new project

JDM eclipse 2nd gen 4g63
K sport coilovers
Velo apex seat
soon to have evo 3 front breaks and cb gsr rear breaks

[Corosith]

So this is the new mallala thrash car, looks interesting (good power to weight ratio)! Is that the former rolt intercooler, or did it come with the car? :)

[Macca]

niceee I got a few mates with CB & CC's you picked the stiffer chassis there ;)

[hendo]

that's crazy! did you have a roll cage?

[steel]

Damn, that's awful. Still, you can replace a car but not a human life.

[Morph]

ffffuuuuuuuuuu-

sorry to hear mate :(

[Corosith]

Wow, looks like the wheels caught that rough edge of the track, sorry to see Hendo (although it made for some speccy pics!), at least you are in one piece....and you just got it back from the crash repairers dammit?:(

What now for the colt?

[Julz]

surprisingly doesnt look too stuffed in this photo:
http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/GROOV33/Time%20Attack%2009/?action=view&current=IMG_1620.jpg

best of luck with it, hopefully no severe physical injuries

[filofaith]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...... ur colt was one of the nicely done ones too... pics of after damage?? was it real bad??

[ommeh]

OMG!!@#!@#&*(!@#&(*!@ NOOO!!@#!@#

[Adam]

Wow that is horrible, I'm glad you are ok....I hope it works out for you and that you can get another car.

[Rallimags]

sorry to see mate. hope you are ok though.

[aby82]

dam hendo those pics make me sad :( look after urself and i hope ur back on the road again soon ;)

[lovecolt]

oh damn......that hurts :( Let me know if you need any help with any thing

[fauxpas]

hendo, after your experiences in the rcolt, you going to get another? Or onto another car?

Also, using the top gear euro saftey bs-metre, after the roll, can you still open/close the door normally?

And if you paint the car green you could tell everyone its an Incredible Hulk car!!!

Good to see you didn't hurt yourself.

[Macca]

hoooooooooooooooooly FUCK

How mate how? i thought it wasnt possible!!!

:(

i feel for you

it held up really well and how much for the beatrush under engine panel ? HAHA i want it if its still stright


these pics are sending shivvers down my spine

[Turbo_Tim]

Hey,
Sucks to see this! Makes me a little more apprehensive about going back to the track often and pushing hard!

Hope everyone works out for you, im sure its a crap feeling!

Its only a car and at least you got away without injury!

[Samson Wong]

OMG shit you ok, man?

[hendo]

yeah door still opens fine

under tray is a custom job ill prob go over the car on the weekend dont realy feel like lookin at it at this time

[Corosith]

hendo - yeah door still opens fine

under tray is a custom job ill prob go over the car on the weekend dont realy feel like lookin at it at this time

That's understandable, keep your chin up mate, if any of the guys in SA can help you with anything, just let us know.:)

[Unforgiven]

holy shit dude! im surprised the rcolt held up so well with no rollcage! glad u came out fine outta that... to some degree wish my rcolt kinda ended like that!
all the best mate i know how it feels /sigh

[kalt]

OMG! Good to see the stronger chassis take the roll over (no rollcage?!). Were you on sticky slicks??

So far driving my Rcolt I've not experienced any situation where I thought the car would topple over (screech the tires and understeer around the corner - but not often), and I keep thinking about the infamous A-class rollover video :S and I thought I'd never see a Rcolt do a rollover on tarmac (in rally most likely!)

Glad no-one was injured and no other cars were hurt (gtr!).

Take it easy hey.

[hendo]

cars running but needs tune and will be getting that next week here are a few pics, cage will be fitted next week
