The Last Mitsubishi Hot Hatch, An Ultra Rare Ralliart Colt Version-R | Juicebox Unboxed #89 

Had a Cyborg ZR Rs colt myself way back when. wind up windows, New patches of rust you had to deal with every time you looked under it and €3,500 to insure it for the year. Still adored the car all the same and minded it like puppy. It developed a problem where the mivec kicking in caused it to go into limp mode and 3 different mechanics (including Mitsubishi) couldn't tell me what the fault was, Since I had already pissed away hundreds with new sensors and parts trying to solve the problem I had to cut my losses and shift it.

Always had a thing for colts, grandfather had one years back, she would draw home a full trailer of turf no bother😂

The Colt's were sold here in Australia through Mitsubishi Dealers but were called the Colt Ralliart Edition. They also sold a convertible version of them here as well that look really cool with the top down but were not based on the Ralliart one but the base model

Fun Fact. The Colt and Smart ForFour share the same chassis and engine. The smart was available with a Brabus package which also had a turbo 1.5 but more power

My first car was a black 2001 colt with a sunroof. Great car. 200k miles on it before we left it to die in the garden. Never missed a beat.

Would honestly much rather watch this version than the actual Top Gear.

Them 90s Colts are so comfortable to drive everything is in the right place 👌🏼🤙🏼👍🏻

You've made me nostalgic for my Colt! I'll be jumping straight on Marketplace looking for one! We got the Mirage and Colt in Australia but it was called a RalliArt Colt. There's always 1 or 2 for sale.

Good stuff man hope u hit 100k love the work.

awesome video. cracked up laughing a few times. thinking about importing a version-R and you got yourself a sub. you guys are hilarious

We had a one make Mirage racing series here (Australia) and it was very popular, but now to find a nice one is pretty hard 👍

Seriously good content as always 👌💪👌💪

not long now guys! to 100k well deserved and a long time coming keep it up

It's become my religion, eating dinner and watching juicebox on a Monday night! Keep up the good work guy's 👍

The smart Twofour was based on that colt. They actually had a model that was tuned by brabus.

Everyone has this habit of "watching one last video on youtube" before sleep. Every monday it's a juicebox video for me and oh boi I'm gonna sleep well because these videos give me the chills and a good mood nohomo. Good night. 🤣

I bought a freshly imported 97 Cyborg RS back in 2009 as my first car and she's still going strong after 13 years of ownership! She's had loads done chassis wise including a 12 point cage but the engine is still the 1.6 MIVEC.

Had to opportunity to pick up a colt ralliart up in wexford was between that and a mk6 tdi, bought the golf and im absolutly gutted looking back now.

That cut scene of slopGear was epic!!! We want more!!!

Loving all the hot hatch action

Got a 2011 Z27 Colt Ralliart Ver R myself. Thinking about selling it. Nothing wrong, fully stock and a lot of fun to drive. I keep it clean as much as I can.

The voice in the Colt definitely sounds like she's saying 'onion' first, so those are your onion controls lad

I'm from nz and we had all of those hot hatch and there are still Alot of them around. Less so the mirages but the vrz pulsars, galanza starlets and civics. I live all those 90s Japan cars. I learnt to drive in a 89 ef civic hatch. Before I moved from nz to aus I had a 1987 Datsun navara

Just come home from my first work day. It's great to come home to this content

Used to have a silver mitsubishi colt as my first car, loved it and yeah it was getting old and got a Clio 4 instead...

I have to say we are so lucky that our cars don't just waste away Alot of these cars are still around and are in good condition.

That 4g92 DOHC is no joke . In my country , u can push about 500 hp with that engine including mods like 4g93 block , td04 turbo and etc

I have always loved the Mirage Cyborg ZR.. One of those cars you never knew existed if it wasn't for Gran Turismo. My buddy actually put a Mirage cyborg motor into a Lancer back in the day and then fitted a turbo to it, still to this day one of the scariest cars I have ever been in.

I test drove the CTZ years ago!! Gave it some boot in second TC jumped in way to early asked the guys how to turn it off he said you can't from factory!! Strait round the next roundabout back to the Garage!! Lol

Oh man that Cyborg is so cool! I currently have a mirage with a 2.0l mivec v6 from the FTO and oooohhhh boy does the car like to have the extra power, chassis not overpowered at all and brakes from FTO too. They are such underrated cars with so much potential, the stock suspension lets it down on track a bit but coil overs and sway bars/strut brace help so much!. The fto box and v6 BOLTS IN same engine mount locations ect. Love the vid, but more mivec action next time pretty plssssss :P , you only revved it out once @8:48 :'( doesnt even come alive before then!

ETCで喜んでて可愛い

the top gear gaming bit hahahaha mint!

my first car was (and still is) a colt 2010 cleartec 1.3 95cv, done a couple of mods to it, this cars are fun

with a remap and exhaust the colts can make around 200hp, awesome bang for buck we have heaps of them pretty cheap in new zealand

19 year old self went to look at a mirage asti rs back in 2011. Sitting on old coilies, enkei wheels with a heat wrapped headers and recaros. Tried my hardest to get insured on it but not a hope. Fell in love with it though and never forgot it. €1200 I think he was looking for it. Peanuts.

the colt has beautiful lines. from front lights to c-pillars

I’ve always liked the hatch mirages they looked really good besides swapping a Evo engine. But that newer colt looks really good and has a good sound. It’s a taller hatch like a fit kind of. I think you pissed the machine of in that thing though. Great video you guys.

Haha those hatches are awesome!

There is even an official Colt Ralliart version with 180 hp here in Switzerland with a 197 hp option!

My dads first car was a colt lancer - he’s the reason I’m into cars 🙌🏻

the interior of the colt reminds me a lot of my honda jazz, surprisingly roomy

Mitsubish colt galant gto looked so good. I always wanted to put all my Zr4 stuff in it. A 4g63 awd 70s colt would be sick imo

Neil put some FORGOTTEN SCOUSE HOUSE in your vid's (like in 5th episode)

Funny the Mirage was also called Mirage in Australia. It was the small 2 door version of the Lancer. The Colt was the Colt with the Ralliart being the Top model. The Mirage Lancer was this 2 door hatch, then we had a 2 door lift back, 4 door sedan and 4 door wagon/Estate.

Has this engine been swapped into any other Mirage/Lancer chassis yet? I am currently in the process of building a turbo kit for my '99 4g15 Mirage.

Uhh yummy More juiceboxforme! 👍

Honestly wanted a colt version R recaro for ages but can't part with my EP3 for one

My first car was a gen 1 cyborg mirage. Loved that car took me 2 years to insure it tho 😂

We have these driving around over here too btw

that little box that looks like a card reader is a ETC (electronic toll collection system).

have you guys ever tried the newest Outlander PHEV with the Bilstein dampers? not really an enthusiast car, but it is a pretty fun car too drive

I’ve been interested in Mitsubishi Colt’s lately and I didn’t search anything up about them or anything but RU-vid still knows I want to watch this like wtf

I think that came to Scotland I god some nice photos of it!

Is this the yoke for sale in kilkenny ?

I swear I saw that colt on done deal. Lovely yoke btw my aunt has one

That Mirage has the same climate control as my 2000 Legnum. 🤟

That Cyborg is badass. I wish we would have gotten it in the States but it didn't happen.

As a young person (22) insurance is a pain in the hole. The Version R is a good choice. Ended up getting around the same price as I did from my bog-standard 1.5 petrol 2008 Lancer and the premium went down the next year. It's about as close as I'll get to getting anything JDM right now.

Hi dear guys I’m ur channel fans, I want to ask doesn’t the turbo colt can replace frm 16 inches rims to 15 inches rims or 14 inches rims , please I really want to know but can’t find anyone help me, please kindly reply me if can help me, really thank u 🙏🏽 so much!! All the best!!

Another fun Mitsubishi fact. The new Space Star was supposed to be called Mirage in europe. However, after the first shipment was sent out to Europe, a company (a German Porsche tuner if I'm not mistaken) protested to the name as they still had the trademark. Mitsubishi had to sent out an helicopter to the ship with a bunch of Space Star badges because they still had that name hanging around. The local Mitsubishi dealer tolt me that some are still recognizable by slightly misplaced badges because we'll, ship crew aren't badge placers. I guess Europe didn't get the Mirage name because the trademark was always taken.

Gday neil love the mitsubishi's they both very cool in there own right, and now im looking for a 1.5 mirage here in Australia and you would be supprised with how dusty everything is its also quite dry so cars that have been siting for a bit there actually quite dirty with dryed out hoses and seals etc but there are some real gems, and by chance is there a PO box or something that i can send a few stickers to ye lads anyway love from Australia as always!

I need a set of rims like that for my little car

Just turned 17 a few months ago and my first car an ‘06 Colt, nowhere near as cool as any of the Colts in this video but it’s still surprisingly quick and roomy (I’m 6’4 and fit perfectly fine with some room to spare) my only gripes are it’s a little ugly and a 1.0 litre but otherwise it’s an amazing car

i swear i have a sense for when these videos upload its weird.

hahahaha the slop gear bit

MITSI TURBO HYPE

If ya want some them electronic Japanese toll tags ill be dumping about 22 of them in the bin in the next few weeks also load of genuine jdm flares too🤣

She's some fookin yoke lad. Always had a sweet spot for the old Colts, used to dream about doing an evo running gear swap :D Furthermore, I'm not saying to quit your day jobs or anything, but I wouldn't mind if Slop Gear became an actual thing some time in the future!

i jst bought a czt cabrio. This is a pocket rocket!

I remember sanding down a colt during working experience from school. Son of the panel beater wanted a colour change . Fuck that's going back the guts of 13 years🙈

I really, REALLY wish we got hot hatches in America.

The Dodge Colt was Originally sold in the States beginning in the early 70's as 1st generation Galant. It was Mitsubishi's first car to be sold here, under the Chrysler name plate. 1979 Brought the FWD Mirage over, and it was sold as the Mitsubishi Mirage, Dodge Colt, and Plymouth Scamp here. 1984 is the last year of the 1st gen Mirage here, and we received the Colt GTS turbocharged model (only 2 door hatchback). Next generation we also got a turbo-variant but it used the same turbo engine from the previous gen, with a different transmission, and gained weight. A 5 door turbocharged sedan sold as the Dodge Colt of this gen could be purchased. 1989 Brought the states what you would call a Cyborg, or what was sold in japan. Limited production run of Dodge Colt GT Turbo and Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo. Only hatchback, no Cyborg sedans unfortunately. 1992 is the end of the Mirage/Colt being made in Japan, and all cool interesting mirages stopped entering the states. No MIVEC models, wish we got those in the states. It is rare to see any pre '92 Mirage on the road. They remain cars forgotten by time here for the most part, we do have some stupid quick 4g63t swapped colts here. Never can get enough of Mitsubishi's, thanks for the video!

Wonder how easy it would be to swap that 4g15 turbo into the new Lancers, those base colts use the same 4a91 engine as the 1.5 Lancers, be like a modern 1.8turbo lancer gsr

The Colt is still called the Mirage in Australia, also the robot voice was counting something.

RINGS, LADS!

I am looking at a mini version r a colt czt

I hope you know that the headunit in the colt worth a shit thon of money. Its a denon one it probably goes around 400-500 euros. Amazing car btw a chick in Hungary inported one of these about two monts ago. It is white but if i remember correct it is auto. Not to sure tho.

Version R colt are they boosted

The Colt we get here is the T120SS, it's a 2 door mid-engined....pickup

Mirage LAAAADS!

How much do these go for??

Ive wanted a cyborg since gran turismo

They were called The Mirage in the US

Even more confusingly the top version of the UK Mitsubishi Colt was the Colt Mirage. I had one in black, it was only 103 bhp though.

has Rob already put the car up for sale?

I wonder if many Toyota Starlet Glanza V made it to Ireland.

Speaking of the whole Japanese companies shitting on the enthusiast. A few years later and the JDM sports car market is a fireball.

You need to import it straight from S'pore coz it is dirt cheap(£1,500)for cars above 10yrs old it needs to be scrap and they don't have the facility so they send it to Malaysia. I luv the old 4G92 1.6 MiVEC of the old CyborgR and over in Malaysia they have the 4G93 1.8 N.A GTi R3 spec they are ripping it up with the Honda.✌

I was gonna do my homework guess not

Ah, a nice new juicebox vid to relax with after another day of designing boring new cars. Neil- "Isn't the future shit?" thanks for the motivational talk!

Kinda excited to see the new gr yaris. Hope isn't over yet for Japanese car manufacturers. Yet.

Cold version R

Neil when will the shop be reopened?

Mitsubishi Mirage in the 80s and 90s: _Has the best era of the time_ Mitsubishi Mirage today werelike: SpaceStar and Attrage Me: *OH NO!* , Anyway..

The version R is great 😂 I've got a Red 3 door Ralliart Colt and I'm keeping it as long as I possibly can.

Just a pity the gear ratios were a bit out, you really had to be tramping on to go into 5th with the MIVEC still engaged, my Borg is still my favourite car I`v owned.

Version Rs are one of those Japanese boxes that shouldn’t be but is just so fkin cool

Sry that I missed the upload 🔰❤️🤙🏼😰

Is that Robgsr?

I had a 1990 1.3 colt with very bad paint so I decided to add some racing stripes yep that wasn't my brightest idea I used highly reflective road marking paint the car would light up at night from car lights 😂. The last mitsubishi I had was a 2001 1.3L Spacestar and I drove that poor car like a rally car sadly rust killed it off and the gearbox exploding twice 😂
