    Chris' Mitsubishi Colt CZT

    I have a few updates The Mk6 Colt suffers from a stiff gear stick where it struggles to spring back to neutral, it also makes selecting gears difficult. The BMW Mini R50 shares the same part of the getrag gearbox and luckily they have a repair pin which resolves the issues. I helped replace the...

    Chris' Mitsubishi Colt CZT

    The next bright idea I had was to carry on with the fog light duct idea, but this time use them for brake ducts.

    Chris' Mitsubishi Colt CZT

    I've had a noisy wheel bearing for lil while, diagnosing it as the driver's rear corner. Luckily these are a bolt on hub unit so fitting should be straight forward, so they say! Here's the YT video, probably boring to most but I've uploaded everything so far so may aswell carry on. Plus, I...

    Chris' Mitsubishi Colt CZT

    The Colt Ralliart is a facelift of the CZT which came with tinted tail lights. I found some at a reasonable price and they look much better. [VIDEO] Next up I bought some cheap eBay 'mods'. The first were some eyelids/eye brows/light brows how ever you wish to call them. I wanted to try...

    Its been a year since I last posted anything constructive (new coilpacks, rocker cover gasket etc) The R34 had taken abit of a back burner due to the Micra K11 and Colt CZT but it's time to give it some well deserved attention Back in 2020 when the UK went into its Covid lockdown, I repainted...

    Choosing a set of wheels for a build is an important and daunting task. There are alot of factors to consider (well, depends how fussy you are) which include design, fitment, colour and price. The Colt CZT has a PCD of 4x114.3 with a factory wheel size of 16x6.5j ET46 Initially I thought of...

    Battery keeps going flat

    I used a piggyback fuse holder so it was just the case of unplugging that and refitting the original fuse

    Chris' Mitsubishi Colt CZT

    Last Wednesday I swapped the manifolds over, things weren't as simple as I originally thought. I also took a visit to the main dealer to purchase new manifold > turbo gasket and new hardware. The next job to do immediately after was to replace the coolant hoses. The design of the new...
