s13 headlights look awefully like a 1992 doge colt

[po1z5che__]

the s13 jdm headlights look very similar to a 1991 dodge colt, has any one else noticed this? sometimes i almost regret doing the conversion

[S14TiNMAN]

looks nasty on the colt(yes, ive taken notice) but super dope on the s13 coupes. regret?? really??

[po1z5che__]

and heres a pic for you who dont know what im talking about

[mixedwell]

dodge colts are actually mitsubishi lancers, or somthing made by mitsubishi. anyways so that would make them JDM? or not really... anyways yeah its a nast combo. but the silvia looks way sexier than the dodge colt anyday. that just me tho..

-mixedwell ;)

[matlock]

Yeh I guess i can see that, but I totally dig the Silvia projectors for the S13 they look nothing like those Colt headlights. I don't think I would regret doing the S13 conversion. I want my coupe to be converted so badly. Someday........

[S14TiNMAN]

im diggin non-projection. but eh, thats just pref. PEACE

[old_s13]

hey y0, how much for those colt headlamps y0? will they fit an s13 fast hatch?

[WilloW]

Very similar :(

[phrozen]

i see one of those around my house all the time.. noticed it a long time ago and thought of it myself too. I will measure it and take some pics and compare when i get a chance. They do look very similar

[Dutchmalmiss]

also the nissan stanzas back then

[HaLo]

You guys have just enumerated why I don't like the S13 front end. ;)

[No Motiv]

Meh, similar but....no real camparison in my mind. i dont really like the S13 front, but i agree non-projectors are nicer..
anyway.....

[aznpoopy]

i think alot of cars from that time period look really similar... i know im gonna get yelled at for this but the 180sx looks alot like an old probe and the s13 coupe looks alot like an old prelude too.

[ZOLTAN]

i think alot of cars from that time period look really similar...
Hahaha. No shit.
Just take a look at the 88 accord hatch.....AE86 anyone?
Manufacturers are all about copying each other.

My question is, are those colt lights Nissan?
It is very common for auto manufacturers to share parts, especially if they are for a foreign market.
So, they could be.
But, then again that little picture you posted is so damn small, you can't get a good look at it.

Fuck this, I'm going to lunch.

I got a buddy with a dodge colt GT Euro sport. It's got a 1.6L DOHC turbo motor out of an eclipse. Came from factory like that. I don't know how many they made. I have only seen two in my life, as short as it has been. That thing is farken fast though.
Pop up's are the way to go.

[HiPSI]

the colt is a nice little sleeper with a 4G63 in it:D

but i don't think the actual headlights look the same as the S13. the corner lights are the same shape i guess but that's the only real similarity i see. the S13 is much more agressive looking (although i hate S13 projector lights) in my eyes.

and i'm not really fond of popup lights (although all 3 cars i've owned have had them, a miata, a conquest, and now my 240:p) so the S13 non projectors would be my choice frontend.

[zombieman]

the s13 silvia front end is hella cool.....ever since i put that conversion on my fastback, i can't help but love how great it looks on the s13 chasis.

a friend of mine actually thought we had the silvia in america but i told him he was mistaken it for a mitsubishi, which of course is post in the previous post...

[Chernobyl]

For some reason, every colt and old-school galant I see in junkyards around here is missing the corner lights. Perhaps ricers go around taking these thinking they are silvia corner lamps??.... or maybe they are the same.... hmm...

That, or every colt/galant driver runs into stuff with the front corners of their cars.

Just an observation.:aw:

Yeah, i raced against Diamond Star Specialities Colt GT with a set of coilovers at a track event early this year, I had never even heard of one, but man, that thing hauled ass... I had to ask him about it because it suprised the heck out of me with how fast it was. Pretty cool.

[po1z5che__]

so did anyone even find out if those fit on a 240? not taht i would use them of course:p

[Dutchmalmiss]

i doubt they fit....the colt is much narrower than the s13 anyways. so are it's headlights, not as long as the s13 ones

[tchenku]

it's a Mitsubishi Mirage (not "lancer" back then :P)

an acquaintance of mine back home has one of those all riced to hell. he managed to mold a civic combat kit onto the front and some other stuff onto the sides and rear. I believe it has some kind of aluminum wint on the rear of the roof.

performance mods include 5" diameter PVC intake (haha) and obligatory fartpipe

havent seen it in a while

That's pretty much it. When I had a busted corner lens on my S12 200SX, it took months to actually find one in a junkyard. They were all either snatched before I got there or broken like mine.

[krazy skwerel]

I'd pimp a colt, hell I'd drive damn near anything. I think the little bastard is just misunderstood.

[turtlepower240]

yea they do look similar but on an s13 it's super sexy :D

[mixedwell]

it's a Mitsubishi Mirage (not "lancer" back then :P)

no no no... in JAPAN its a mitsubishi lancer. and they raced them! yay. i dont think the mitsubishi version of the dodge colt came in the US? did it? anyhoo.. yeah same thing over and over.

-mixedwell ;)


ps- lights are different. the front lights are smaller than the silvia's but i doint know about the side lights. thanks you.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Found this, but no one has compared the side markers of the Colt/Mirage to the Silvia. Could someone possibly? It'd be a dirt-cheap option to us who don't care if it's JDM as long as it fits right.

[mrmephistopheles]

not the same.

1.6L never came in the eclipse, and don't say JDM because the eclipse was only produced stateside. the 1.6turbo was in the colt/mirage and is a 4g block but not the 4g63. the 4g63 is a decently common swap into an olf mirage/colt chasis.

[kazuo]

Which S13 front are you people talking about? There's like, two...

*har har har*

[Ghettokracker71]

NEVER EVER did a Dodge Colt/Eagle Summit/Mitsubishi Mirage come stock with a 4G63. The Colt GT (USDM) came with a 4G61T(IICC,something like that) wich is a 1.6 L turboed knock-off of the 4G block. Even the jDm tYte y0 Mitsubishi Cyborg,wich was an AWD version of the same chassis came with only a1.6 litre in it.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. It is a fairly common swap though.

shhh...you are making me look bad :ugh:


sorry about that

[jy116]

Man, I was just about to post this exact same thread...! I see 2 of em a lot around my apartment. I tihnk the headlights are a lil narrower, but the corners look A LOT like silvia corners...

This could very well disrupt the JDM goods economy as we know it! Too bad no one around me has a silvia front to go compare in person...

[Chernobyl]

they arent the same anyway. would be funny to do a jimmyrigged "silvia conversion" using a colt front end though. I'm sure that'd get some double takes.

colt guys are always hanging out around the local shop here. I don't get it. Those cars are kinda lame, but i guess whatever floats their boat.

[andrave]

I think they are a nice clean sleeper looking car.

[phrozen]

i bet you some noob has recently seen the new "pimp my ride" on MTV and saw the mitsubishi mirage and said, "OoOo shit JDM silvia conversion dawg" :hammer:

Holy Shit This Is Old

[chrissk8er999]

My real question is if I wanted to be cheap could I take a colt front end and put it on my 240 and just buy corners, since I already have the hood, fenders, triple projectors, and USDM support.

p.s. anyone want to verify if I can really just convert the USDM bumper support or not?

my real question is why are you bringing up threads from almost a decade ago? :picardfp:
colt shit doesn't fit without custom work.

[zerodameaon]

Wow way to bring a dead thread back, who the hell would want to fake the silvia funk so bad that they would contemplate putting a pos econobox colt front on a 240, oh chrissk8er999 thats who. This thread died for a reason, next time check the dates before you post.
