450hp AWD converted Mirage/Colt

[@keatoncreates]

and for anyone that doesnt know, I have one of these but 97 with a 6a12 mivec v6 swap...the rego paper literally says 905kg with all fluids so they are insanely light. What an engineering masterpiece this car is! so good!

[@joydrive]

Holy shit that's nuts!

[@TakumiMarowana]

Sounds awesome! Is it awd too? I have an 8mr with pretty much 2 or 3 of everything in regards to driveline parts...I also have a little ce lancer coupe, been wanting to make an evo 5 or 6 coupe out of it haha

[@davidgriggs3967]

The 6a12 mivec engine makes good hp but a dismal amount of torque I owned one and the most NA power you can make out of them is about 220whp . Before I wound up the boost on my 4g63t Vr4 powered 200hp Cordia Turbo which is around the same weight as a mirage and I compared them , the acceleration was night and day.

Damn that car is sick. Amazing to see how well the effort put into this video produced results. Video looks fabulous love the cinematics especially

[@joydrive]

Car is insane, next level detail. Thank you sir! 🙏🙏🙏

[@blackdatto]

What an awesome build. I had some work done on the wife's evo by these guys and after many decades in the car scene I can confirm that these guys are the go to for evo and Mitsubishi. I really appreciate them.

[@joydrive]

Insane eh, those that know, know them, no sign, no big advertising, just good work 🤙

[@RossReviewsau]

that is one sexy engine bay!

[@joydrive]

Freaking insane! Every detail, wild

[@Orkine]

dude so much love for that car im pretty sure some people were saying it was at ccc but i didnt go had work so i missed it but great vid and it looks mad!!!!

[@joydrive]

It sure was! Was in my CCC video as well 😎

[@Orkine]

@@joydrive ill check it

[@mal6666]

Great vid as always buddy, that car is nuts!

[@joydrive]

Soooooo nuts

[@tinmerah3260]

great content.. but i'm looking forward for a build of one of those previous gen mirage/colt.

[@joachimkhew9982]

is this car still in WA? I would love to see it in person if it is possible? I own a gli coupe myself and hoping to see some inspirations and if anyone knows where i can find parts for the car would be great as well

[@joydrive]

Yup, still here. The shop mentioned still has it and still takes it to shows :)

[@mrolsen6987]

Really nice built!!! As an Mitsubishi mechanic since over 20yrs this is something i've been thinking of the last 20years...! I know for fact that Mitsubishi acually did a ralliart model of the Colt with drivetrain from Evo XI. So sad that they didn't made it for the market 😭 But however now days you can get a Colt for pennies and a Outlander turbo cheap... Some Day I'am going to build one! I'am just gona end My swap with a Opel kadett c with a Mitsubishi 4g94 turbo and a Lexus is 200 6 Speed gearbox first... Someday... 😂 Cheers from Northern Sweden 🍻

[@joydrive]

Ah sick, that's mad if they did! Certainly not an easy swap by all accounts but god damn it's worth it 😂

[@buda3d2007]

love this car, so low to the ground though, but i guess thats good for handling

[@bwoycleon]

Is there a build tread on this beauty?

[@joydrive]

Afraid not, more of a shop build in their spare time so nothing along the way :(

[@JDM_DAISUKI]

YYYUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS

[@joydrive]

Mad eh 😍

[@JDM_DAISUKI]

joydrive so cool

[@jaycrypto1917]

how did you do the awd conversion do you have evo floor in the rear

[@joydrive]

Not my car, but it's a hybrid Evo rear subframe to allow for Evo rear end pieces to bolt In. It's all about that subframe that allows them to then bolt on Evo parts directly 😎

[@adamward1008]

Man the owner really missed an opportunity to make the greatest ever sleeper, that being said i rekon the looks would have more commodores tryin to race him off the lights than if it looked stock

[@joydrive]

He has another one which is maybe like 350hp, still fwd, but you sure as hell wouldn't know it 😂 same deal, well put together, brakes, it's madness.

[@brendanjacybaeleegrant7878]

The other one is just a crazy

[@nicolarorato5450]

It Is a meccanical diamond.

[@xxanguslolxx5662]

Was it hard to get the motor in or was it pretty easy considering they usually have the same motor as a lancer

[@joydrive]

Motor swap from my understanding was the easier part, the AWD part and everything else is the mental part haha

[@xxanguslolxx5662]

@@joydrive thats what I was thinking too, I'm hoping it will bolt to the original gearbox and I'll just keep it fwd and put less power through than these guys

[@puggernautmtg1252]

How much a build like this would cost ?

[@Mandalor_avenger]

50k

[@YeMadAzza]

Mannnn there's some weapons hiding away in Perth these days!

[@joydrive]

So many hiding away!

[@benson7600]

Can I have a look this in person?

[@joydrive]

It's sometimes out at shows, follow their Instagram they sometimes post, but it comes out to Custom Cars and Coffee sometimes, only ever AT Speed Dome though

[@atane-bakpolland1989]

baddasss🔥🔥🔥

[@joydrive]

Sure is, mad car!

[@aznpinoy81]

Hmm i just now seeing this vid. I wonder how much money out in to building this bad boy.!!

[@joydrive]

A fairrrrr chunk of change, a lot in research as well to know what parts to with what 😅

[@christiana.santiagogarcia6711]

Were can i Buy dose headlights????

[@joydrive]

Pretty sure they are custom 😎

[@Autoholicqld]

Not the best sounding exhaust note, but damn that’s a sweet conversion! Another top not vid, geezer 😎

[@joydrive]

They've done such a damn good job! Thanks man 🙏🙏🙏

[@brendanjacybaeleegrant7878]

Exhaust sounds 1000% better in person that's for sure

[@amystanbridge6482]

i know this vid is a few years old but why would anyone spend so much money on Making a CJ2A into AWD version??? Especially here in Australia. Ill Explain :) Mitsubishi Made a Factory AWD Version it was the CL2A Chassis Version came stock with a twin cam 4G15. The Chassis itself is just a CJ chassis with a Evo 5/6 Floor pan in it. So you can literally take Evo Motor, Gearbox and Diff slap them in this CL2A with custom shafts to hold the power and off you go. To Boot the CL2A Was Shipped to New Zealand across the pond from us Aussie's so its very easy to Import one. So IMO to build that Red Mirage your showing its alot of money and time pissed up the wall to make something that already existed in the first place. And don't think I'm ragging on the CE Mirage I'm not I LOVE THEM i own a CJ4A Model myself, Bought it New straight off the show room floor, Ill never get rid of my little Cyborg ZR :)
