Best little Mitsu to take a 4g63 and FWD?

[bazeng]

Hey Guys,
What do you think is the best platform to build a super light, fwd car that will take in a 4g63?

I'm thinking a COLT or somelike similar.

Thoughts?

Alternatively, i might go Honda Civic or Suzuki Switft...

But would like to stay Mitsu..

Concept:
4g63 turbo.
fwd.
drag spec.

Stripped out Mirage hatch.

For ease id say mirage they are under 1t and the 4g will go in alot easier than another brand

Or a Hyundai excel, the early square ones like a fella had on here a while back

Mirage.

I bought one cheap and converted it to a Mivec V6, from an Fto...it screamed. Can only imagine it with an evo 4 5 or 6 setup in it!

Micks Motorsports has a 4wd evoed mirage. Badass little car.

Yep, that Mirage Mick did looks so good too, almost factory.

Mirages are OK but the new 4g63 doesn't do it for me.. I'd like to build the older 4G in this case.

Excels and elantras are an idea! Other thoughts?

KE Ford Laser bubble back with a 4G63.

Mini?

Mazda 121, I can get you one for $150 haha

 

[ENGINR]

^ THAT would be cool.

 

[bazeng]

I was thinking the little Mazda!

 

[SIVART]

I would do a VB Commodore just to stir the pot , making is not a V8 and also FWD , and there pretty light too

 

[Ian91]

I was thinking the little Mazda!

They are pretty small though so it might be a struggle fitting the engine and box between the chassis rails haha

 

[bazeng]

I should just build another galant. Lol...

Commodore? Never!

Look at what Rob B has done in Qld.

A mate of his even took his old cc coupe chassis and put in a n/a Sonata block and now runs flat 12s.

 

[bazeng]

I found an old colt.. Will they take a 4g63?

88 model.

 

[Ian91]

What about and old Suzuki swift/ Holden barina?

 

[evo-gsr]

This tells me it will? Unless a Colt is different in Seppoland??
