Nice. That would be fun on the Autobahn!

[0dd0ne]

willkommen, ich liebe deine kleinen roten auto!


sexy little thing isnt it. you need a vented bonnet to complete the package though!

[Juri-1st]

@steel:

Thanks. Yeah its fun but it gets boring after a while... ;)

@0dd0ne:

Thanks man. Yeah vented bonnet would look nice and also would help with heat transfer i guess... :)

[wombat]

Your car looks pretty hot dude! I like it alot!

I second OddOne's comment, vented bonnet would set that off nicely!

[0dd0ne]

ja tun die luftungsschlitze man schon sehr viel helfen

entschuldigungen fur schlechte gramatik seit jahren nicht schule.

[Juri-1st]

@wombat: Thanks. I already would have one. But its not possible to order one in germany. Mitsu is not ordering it. I tried it myself two years ago when i worked as a car salesman at a mitsubishi dealership. ;)

@0dd0ne:

Its cool. Its the same with my english. I guess most of you people here can understand me but my grammar sucks also. ;)

[0dd0ne]

try source a carbon one from asia and get the vent from jap or even here.

And your english is fine man. You even have the internet slang down pat. My german probably sounds like a textbook or something lol

[Juri-1st]

Small update:

New wheels (ETA BETA EB51 and some spacers Front 10mm Rear 50mm):

Neat, are they 18"s?

[Juri-1st]

Thanks,

they are 7x17" with ET45. ;)

[nickdavina]

Hey mate,

How did you order the quality tuning exhaust system..?
I'm from the Netherlands and would like to orderd the complete system.
did you pay up front or cash on delivery..?
normaly i'm hesitating ordering from the internet when ist not in my own country.
and witch shipping method did you choose..?
hope you can anwser my questions.

kind regards,

Nick Davina.

[Juri-1st]

Hi Nick,

I ordered it online after chatting with the company. Now we (www.colt-turbo.de) get 10% discount on the whole CZT parts. ;) Paid via Paypal the first time and now through bank transfer.

I order quite often now from them for our Colt Club and can save you some money if you are interested. ;)

[nickdavina]

Yes i'm interested in a complet exhaust.
Let me know how much it will cost me if you order me this system.
If it can safe me money that would be nice. :P

[colTwes]

hey mate i see you have the same coilovers as me
mine make an annoying noise with every little bump i take
at first i thought it might be because they where still new but now after like 5000kms with them they still make the noise
did you have any problems, noises...?

[Juri-1st]

Hi,

yeah i had that sounds, too. The problem on mine was due to some forgotten parts from the stock suspension which will need to be mounted on the KW Suspension. Like a washer or something like that. Without it the springs were making a clunking noise every now and then because on turns they were rotating too.

Check your stock parts again and compare with the KW fitting guide. After that my stock Top Mounts gave up... switched to Ralliart Top Mounts and Silent Blocks now. ;)

Hi juri,

You have the airbox mod also from djkillerk.
Does he has more air boxes modded?
Im verry interrested in that one.
Its a nic e mod ,i like the idea and every bit of HP helps right:o
Can you ask for me ?..I can wanne buy it if he has more.
Thanx again Juri.

[Juri-1st]

I will let him know, that you take one. :)

[lovecolt]

is there a pic of the so said air box??

[fast czct]

I will let him know, that you take one. :)

Hey Juri ,

Thanx for youre reply.
Whats the cost incl shipping to holland?

Hey made 3 boxes to test it with diferrent kind of diameters.
Would like to have on with the best diameter without the cell light.
Thanx again m8:)
He can PM or my email is: v.ginkel@hotmail.com


O i forgot whats youre diameter of youre sportcat?

greets lesey

[Juri-1st]

There are several types made.

Ill forward your email adress so you can discuss that direclty with Georg. ;)

@Lovecolt:

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/1149/vergleich2.jpg

Left one is machined to 55,5mm ID, stock was 53mm ID

Hope he will contact me soon coz cant wait!!hehehehe:)

[fast czct]

What are the gains Juri?
Do you feel that is pulls beter through the gears or..
Or its a better ride?
Let me know oke friend im curious.
Thanx again!!

[sabeli]

you guys in uk and europe have better looking colts .. specially at the back ;/ i wonder why they never made the same car all over the world i want the two door one

[sabeli]

why would you machine that? wouldnt do anything over 2mm ;/

[Juri-1st]

The results are comparable with the 666-Mod but you have better airflow because the holes from the 666mode are in some cirumstances CEL-causing atleast for me.

@sabeli:

Thanks, but i really like the AUS R-Version,too.

Why machine? Same gains as 666-Mod or K&N, Blitz etc. Kits. The gains these kits provides are not from the Open Filter alone but also from the raised Inlet Diameter. ;)

Hi Juri,

I contacted george to order the airbox mod.
I did 66mod also and getted ecu light just like you.
Maybe coz my ecu is reflaced but if this mod works for you it can work for me too:)
Maybe i get the 1,5 Version i dont know George know wich Version.
Hope we can make the tranaction soon m8:)

[Juri-1st]

Yeah 666-mod causing some CELs for me. I got the V2 and have noe CELs related to that.

Im getting 1963 CEL-Code due to the MR-BOV is now the bottleneck in my car. A Forge RS Valve wont do that due its bigger design and faster valve.

[Juri-1st]

Finally mounted the new exhaust System on the Colt. Overall fitment was good and the new sound it makes is awesome :)

[Macca]

Very nice, No laws for cat converters over there?

[colTwes]

can you make a video of the exhaust?
idle, revs, take off & fly by if possible?

[Juri-1st]

Very nice, No laws for cat converters over there?

Thanks, sure we have laws for that. But the EU3 suppled with the downpipe wont make it as i need EU4 Cat and therefore i will source myself a HJS 200 EU4 Cat and mount it between the middlesection. ;)


can you make a video of the exhaust?
idle, revs, take off & fly by if possible?

Will do when i have some time. :) Its sound really nice, not sure if the camera can catch that. :)

[colTwes]

should organize a meet once for west european colt owners then
though that probably would be a very expensive day for some (seeing all those mods that you might also want lol:p)

[sabeli]

whats a 666 mode?

[Corosith]

It's a mod that involves drilling holes in the airbox to lean out the colt's fuel levels, it's a popular mod in Europe but has been met with a lot of sceptisism here in Oz.

[wombat]

It does nothing but suck more heated engine bay air into your intake but allows you to hear the psshht from the stock BOV.

[sabeli]

how can it suck more heated engine bay air ... if the filter is boxed and it has its own intake from the front? ... unless they have pod filter setup that will allow more "hot" air to flow thru where you wouldnt notice any difference ;/... my cold air intake on stock box does more i think cause it does :) and its 15mins of job to do.

[Corosith]

If you wish to discuss the 666 mod any further, please checkout this thread from way back, as we are starting to wander off topic here.:)
http://www.rcolt.com/showthread.php?2218-DIY-induction-project-from-www.coltclub.gr

[wombat]

I stand corrected - i was always under the impression that it was holes drilled into the base of the airbox, not near AFM.

[Juri-1st]

In the process of disassemble the engine... reason for that are these...

http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/3655/sam0982p.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/109/sam0982p.jpg/)

1st Cylinder way to lean (the burned plug should be left) and now no compression due to the burned spark plug.

Now im search of good upgrade parts, depending on what has been killed. Will know tomorrow (01am here right now :)) when i get the right tools for further disassembling.

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6752/sam1002.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/sam1002.jpg/)

[Macca]

OH NO, I dare say that piston is going to have a nice hole in the top of it.

Well at least you didnt snap a rod and destroy the whole engine block like we do in Australia

Message RUNUTS, he has wiseco pistons and some very nice phat engine rods

[0dd0ne]

damn hey. like macca said good thing the block doesnt have holes in it. that being said the bore might be fucked... really depends on how bad it was.

sucks man, feel your pain.

[Macca]

If he just had low compression and was able to test it, i guess the piston and rod are not damaged bar a small hole in the piston from heat

[Mitsiman]

Sounds like it may be time for a rebuild - give us a buzz if you are after pistons and rods. We have been selling them faster than we can get them at this moment - seems a real demand in the European countries for them at this moment.

european summer... i dare say we may experience the same in aussie summer if we arent careful

[Juri-1st]

Will do when i know what needs to be renewed. :)

Edit: It wasnt low compression, -> 0 Bar ...

Now the head is down and as predicted a valve was burned causing fatal damage to the piston below, also scratched sidewalls on all four. I guess that forces me to get to the first oversize, but i will get it checked by an professional motorbuilder and follow his advise in choosing the right size.

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7401/sam1034.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/707/sam1034.jpg/) http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/9473/sam1035r.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/593/sam1035r.jpg/) http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3356/sam1040ej.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/sam1040ej.jpg/)

[0dd0ne]

It's hard to tell how bad the bore damage is from the pic. We don't get a lot of room to increase bore size unfortunately.

[Juri-1st]

Thats true. On top of that the head might be damaged, too. If the spark plug exited via the hole in the valve... will get the rest out today. Will update you guys. :)

[Juri-1st]

Used the good weather here in Germany today and finally the engine is out:

Getting it bored out to the next oversize in the next days. :)

[Davo_colt]

nice work mate....you are saving a lot of money by disassembling the engine yourself

[0dd0ne]

What did the bores look like? Fair bit of wear on the piston coatings.

[Macca]

I wanna see the top of that dead piston! Looks a heap different to all the others

[Juri-1st]

@Davo_colt: Yes, but i also managed to destroy parts worth 30EUR so far. How much does it cost to disassemble and put it back together in a workshop etc?

@0dd0ne: Bores looked good in my opinion, but what do i know... i guess the engine builder will tell me if they are any good. Most of the damage is on the piston. Anything else looks almost untouched.

@Macca: Yeah its totaly fucked. Not true anymore... :

[Davo_colt]

30 euro in damaged parts? do you mean 3000? just removing/installing engine and disassembling it can cost around $1500 AUD i've heard

[Juri-1st]

No i mean 30EUR=40AUD damaged while disassembling (Belt cover has a crack but its plastic and as mentioned cost only 30EUR to replace).

Coudnt be arsed to pay that amount of money for someone who disassembles my engine and probably will also damage a part here and there without telling me. Nowadays they quote 90EUR an hour at the Mitsu Dealership and in the end an trainee will do the job. For putting it back together i will definitvely seek help from someone whith knowledge and the right tools.

90 euros lol??

[Juri-1st]

@colTwes: Yeah thats what they charge for an hour. :D

@ELEGNT:OEM Replacement pistons in +0.50, new piston rings, the work needed to replace them etc. nah not worth it ill go forged now. ;)

Its not that expensive compared with OEM prices. Any suggestions? You are already done with the rebuild i guess. :)

[27AME]

I think he's saying it's not worth going OEM and he is going forged...

[Juri-1st]

Yeah right. ;)

Getting forged parts, prices are the same compared to stock.

[Juri-1st]

Finally got some parts delivered:

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/628/teile.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/717/teile.jpg/)

Wiseco Pistons in 1st-oversize (+0,5mm) ARP Bolts and ACL Aluglide Bearings.

Still missing: Rods and a Headgasket. I dont know if the stock headgasket is enough? Some use a special made gasket others using the stock gasket x2. What are the guys here with 250+hp using?

Fitted also a Torsen LSD to the Gearbox:

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7671/cztlsd2.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/cztlsd2.jpg/)

[Macca]

Can you please give us the part number for that torso. LSD. Do the pistons have a part number as well?

[Juri-1st]

Everything that fits Mini Cooper S will also fit in the Colt Gearbox: So for Quaife: QDF38Z OBX: Mini Cooper LSD Also Ford Focus MK1 : M-4204-SVTF

Pistons were made to order through Runuts so no Part No. for that.

[Juri-1st]

Ayus Blog sums it up pretty good. :)

So no need for overpriced "special made" Quaifes anymore. ;)

[Macca]

Cheapest place to get it should be torson them self.

That should be the diff.

[odysseyesm]

FMD - that's cheap.
Postage would add though.

[MYZ27AG]

OBX is a cheap Torsen type.
It has issues (I am told) and needs some parts upgraded before installation. Quality issues. Price reflects this.
Torsen T2 Type B is not supposed to be as good as a Quaiffe, but it is much cheaper. Warranty issues.
Quaife has lifetime warranty I think even if you race it.
Either way the are all torque bias differentials and they have the same problem in front wheel drive cars.
Lift a wheel and you have nothing.
(Yeah I know don't lift a wheel)
Probably great for Drags or straight line stuff, but for circuit work....!.

Still the best traction is a good set of tyres.

[Ayu452]

i have only ever lift the rear wheel and tripod the car...i would be surprised if someone can get it two wheeled...
possibly on some of those crazy U turns in motorkhana...but on a track i highly doubt it...well at perth barbs anyways.

if you are getting it on 2 wheels...maybe its time to upgrade those springs :)

[MYZ27AG]

"Lift a wheel" is just terminology, from my era anyway. Just means getting the inside wheel so light it looses traction and starts to spin.
I'm pretty sure members who do Wakefield and Marulan have this problem getting out of the last corner onto the straight at both circuits.
Yeah I know you can stiffen up everything to try to stop unloading the inside front wheel, but most members still want to drive something a little more road friendly than a race setup.
You have a Quaife. I think you are being defensive.
Any LSD is a bonus. Just finding the most suitable.
I'm fairly sure Carroll Smith recommends a Torsen for both front and rear wheel drive performance road cars.
I never said what I thought about the LSD's mentioned, I said from what I'm told.
I've had Quaifes, Clutch type and Viscous in front wheel drive cars. Track and street use. Not Colts though.
I personally would take the Viscous on the street anyday.

I don't have traction problems. I've always said get better tyres and learn to modulate the accelerator.
Guess my car is just too gutless, handles so badly and I just can't drive fast enough, like the fast boys and you.

So anyway here is a quote from some self professed guru. (Not me) Talking about Quaife.
It was on the internet so it must be right.....ey?

"When one wheel starts to slip the helical gears slide endwise with a force proportional to the torque on the wheels (not fixed torque and not proportional to speed). This applies a load on a sidewall friction plate to generate resistance to bias the output torque accordingly. This is in effect applying a braking force to the wheel that has less traction, but the reaction force is transferred to drive the other side rather than energy being lost as friction heat. Changing angle of the helical teeth changes the limit of torque bias. These can be designed with torque bias of 3:1 or up to 5:1. So if one wheel begins to lose traction the other wheel can receive up to 5 times as much torque as the one that is slipping. It also has the advantage of being able to transmit nearly all of the propshaft input torque to the wheels, proportioning torque appropriately up to the point where both wheels might spin at the same time.

Unfortunately five times zero is still zero, so when one wheel hits a patch of wet ice it will still spin, and the other wheel will be limited to five times the torque as the one on ice. This works well as long as the low torque wheel still has some grip and some available torque, but if you lift a wheel in a fast turn it will immediately revert to zero torque all around like an open differential. As such, this works best with well tuned suspension that can keep the drive wheels planted on the pavement. If you happen to be aware of the total loss of traction when it happens, and you understand how these things work, you can step gently on the brakes to stop spinning of the unloaded wheel. This will then apply up to five times as much torque as the light braking effect to the wheel that is not spinning, which will in turn overcome the light braking force and push the vehicle. Competition drivers may soon develop the technique of "left foot braking" while they keep the right foot on the throttle. (Incidentally this torque sensing differential works quite well in conjunction with a modern antilock braking system). "

Anyhow this is Colt CTZ Juri's thread and things are getting off on a tangent.
Any discussion should be elsewhere.
But there won't be any from me because I just don't give a f.....

[Juri-1st]

Yeah back to my initial question... :D

What kind of gasket are guys using with 250+ hp ?

[Macca]

Stock head gaskets. The stock one is a 3 layer metal unit. A very good gasket.

[0dd0ne]

haha mitsiman is going to be so devastated everyone knows what they are actually from now

and head gasket is good for more power than these engines can make



lol devoooo


and yeah +1 on the stock gasket. good shit. ive got an old one (but still fine) lying around if you want to double up.

[Juri-1st]

It was known after the first Quaifes where sold due to the Product No: QDF38Z which was visible on some photos. ;) But due to the statement "Especially made for us" i wasnt sure until Todd and a friend with a Ralliart Diff measured them up for me. After that i got one myself and trial-fitted it. Same goes for other special made parts... but i dont want to go into detail here.

0dd0ne: Thanks but i already ordered a gasket kit. And keep in mind that im from Germany so its not very efficient to ship it :D

Im asking because i had coolant leaks before the engine failure occured. Just wanted to eliminate variables. :)

Go into detail about special made parts on Facebook ;)

And as for gasket, I meant more so if you wanted to try running more then one. I've thought about it to, to drop compression. Wouldn't be that much to ship it. I wouldn't ask for much either. All in the name of experimentation.

[rokkuchan]

Sorry Juri off topic again, but why hasn't anyone mentioned torque steer in the reason of getting a lsd? I'm no tracker but even with a little increased in power from mods and tunes, i hate how it gives that unstable feeling in the steering wheel when u feel like doing some launches. ultimately will give u the same feeling while trying to put power while ur in a corner...

Since you guys have installed it, does it eliminate the torque steer??

doesnt eliminate but helps reduce the amount of torque steer

thats with a ATB LSD (Quaife)

i think a clutch type LSD would be better at reducing torque steer

[Juri-1st]

Almost all parts are here now.

That's a pretty sexy looking set of headers you've got there, certainly looks like a lot of work has gone into them.

Thanks Coro, yeah its locally made but has undergone some development till its final outcome.

And it it looks even better in the flash. :D

Finally the last parts arrived as my first supplier wasnt in the mood to deliver them... this one got all the goods as stated within 2 weeks, no delaying bullshit etc...! If any of you guys are interested, i can forward you his details.

Anyways got at the same time some CP Carillo Pistons in +0,5mm, 3x Eagle Conrods and some ARP Bolts for some friends which are also building their engines now. :) A second Piston set will be coming soon, but that is a special order which needs 4 weeks to be ready.

The pistons are CP Carillo and mine are Wiseco which are heavier (mine are the black coated ones...) Dont know if that will make any difference as the difference is around 40gr. each Piston/Rod Combination.

I think the specifications of those are worth more then the parts themselves.

For anybody else planning on going forged etc

nice stuff juri
hope to see your build on a meet somewhere this year
looking forward :)
forgot to ask: if the mini cooper s lsd fits our box, maybe you know if their box would fit on our car?
cuz a 6-speed with some good gear ratios would be the shizzle
or would it be possible to add a 6th gear to our stock box?
