Once the rear wheels were centered in the well, I measured from the front door seam to the center of the hub and it's 75.625" I jacked the rear firmly against the undercarriage (first ensuring the car was level on the jackstands) and matched that to both sides before welding the mounts in place. The rear wheels are centered. I also measured diagonally from 2 holes near the front of the car that are used by body shops to straighten the frame (it's never been wrecked) and the measurements were the same.

The Dodge Colt is actually a Mitsubishi Mirage (or a Plymouth Champ, or a Hyundai Excel). In Japan, there is a Mirage Cyborg. It was AWD. If I were FWD, I'd be able to use bolt-on parts from Hyundai Elantra's (or the factory 1.6L DOHC Turbo Colt GT), automatic Dodge Colts, and the cars I stripped to bolt it right in. But the AWD transfer case interferes with the rear mount, so I'm making my own front and rear mounts. The timing side mount and tranny mount are bolt-in's.

I'm going to do a main loop, harness bar, and crossbars because I took the powered seatbelt stuff out. Now I have to put seatbelts back in it, and on paper this thing will run 10's, so it's a win-win... except for finding a cage that fits the Colt because I don't have the tools to bend one.

1/4 mile only. Acceleration's my addiction.


Thanks mang!
