Oh yeah man they're awesome aye

What did you do besides the fmic to get the power up to 160kw?

@@87doctorevili think he lied a bit about 160kw but 150kw is in range for sure, it needs bigger intercooler, cold intake, remap, and exhaust would help too

Thanks man!

Thanks!

Thanks man yeah somewhere in central Auckland

Awesome!

That's the plan! Thanks man

Thanks man!

I feel like a VZ-R would have been a decent competitor to the Colt

Goodness yeah that's heaps haha. Goes well enough stock tho

Yes really should do that sorry

Nice!

Me too!

Yes

I can let you know some owners that do... in nice mountain roads these are a beast.

@@adriansuva3952 yeah man I was certainly impressed! Definitely an upgrade over a swift sport

Awesome!

They are great cars, I have a czc turbo, not very many of them at all! And mine has 45k miles :)

Yeah true we do haha

Haha nice

Dang that is many

It’s awesome aye

I remember when drivingy 1.5 kia rio manual trying to catch up the mini colt in front of me but unfortunately i dint get even closer when he notice me trying to overtake his car. Then i started looking for colt here in Australia and buy one cuz its fucking fast even do its not too preatty...😅

That would be very interesting

A Japanese video on KZfaq (that includes Drift King Tsuchiya) shows the Vitz vs a Colt and some other cars in the same class like the Fit. The Colt blew everyone out of the water

Nice!

Yeah its a normal or stock 1.5 but its fucking fast than my 1.5 kia rio sedan...

All good

Already done it, one of my first accord vids

Haha nice!

That's cool!

Correct, I own what is to be considered the “holy grail” amongst owners… A Red 06 RColt with the Evo 8MR Recaros and have the Enkei’s as displayed in the video. With nothing more than a front mount intercooler (XR6 turbo falcon ones fit easily) an exhaust, some injectors, a fuel pump and a tune they can quite easily have 140kw at the fronts, even more on e85. Lowered mine on aftermarket springs and soon to add a rear stabiliser bar but my gosh it handles sooooo well 🥺 Almost (and I mean almost) is my favourite car I own. That honour probably goes to the Ralliart Magna I have (132 of 500 made)

Friend of mine has the same exhaust setup, just found a clip of his. Sounds like a mini rally car 🎉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNpjgq-gmLa3moE.html

Well if you're in nz I'd be keen!

@@KiwiCarLife in west Auckland

Yeah fair enough honestly

Yeah Sad they dropped them later on

Ahh didn't know that

Not sure that's just what I googled - felt like way more than that

@@KiwiCarLife do you know if they have many issues?

@@KiwiCarLife they’re very light, so that’ll feel like a good amount

I've heard no horror stories, which tells me it isn't bad. Simple preventative maintenance and it should be sound. Swift probably more reliable yes, but not half as fun.

Probably yeah not really sure - this is much faster than a swift sport tho

Used to own one, currently got a Zc32 Swift sport. The Colt is super reliable . Parts are actually quite expensive compared to other cars in its Class and the aftermarket support isn't great In NZ . Both my outer CVS went had to buy complete driveshafts, clutch isn't cheap has a fork attached, timing belt kits ain't cheap for them. Few other things. Other then that there a great car kinda like a Starlet turbo but with a more rigid chassis. Swift Sports are bloody great cars to but guess it depends on what model, because the older ones that are non turbo feel abit gutless and have no low down torque. But are super reliable and I reckon handles better than the Colt to.

@@KiwiCarLife yeah no doubt. I've driven plenty of sports, great little cars but have no experience with the mitsi. I'm currently living in Japan, and there isn't much opportunity for driving fast in my area. Mostly looking for sporty handling and compact size.

@@jimes69 thanks for the info. I used to work for Suzuki as a parts rep so I can attest to sport reliability (minus the CVT versions) and a drivability. But the Colt is definitely one I wanna test drive for myself

Fair enough

That would be sixk

Ah yes will pass that on

I need that bushing

I had a look at his car and it seems his issue stems from the gear lever selector inside the top of the box. Apparently mini cooper R50/R52 selectors fit the colt gearbox and can fix this issue

95 probably

@@KiwiCarLife I only have max 94 where I live 😭

@@StandAloneState what country?

@@KiwiCarLife BC, Canada

Hmmm probably this tbh coz there’s no fit equivalent, but the Fit overall is a better car

@@KiwiCarLife as you work for Honda, can you provide me some Intel as to why Honda are not bringing back the jazz to Aus ?

@@B33ond I work for Honda NZ not Honda Aus

Haha not the ralliart tho surely

Yeah nah

@@KiwiCarLife the same ones now buy the a45 amg

Yesss

I did and am coming back next month too

Yes

You reckon?

Hahah
