You do realise the colt is lighter than the cordia? |

I have a stripped 89 mirage in front of my house making just shy of 900hp and it weighed 2150lbs at the track last year. From everything I have read and from tearing into this car I see no reason to think that this car weighed the advertised 2100lbs from the factory. |

The 89 turbo colts and mirages weigh 2550-2650 depending on options from the factory. I know as I have owned 5 and weighed everyone. |

The auzzie cordia weighs 2018 kg (4448.93 lbs) fully optioned, 1051 kg (2317.58) for the basic GSL model with no options, ..........your USA model is non-turbo but fully optioned.......Hummmm. |

This was a turbo car. I just cannot see a cordia ever weighing more than two tons. That is just crazy. There is just not the much car there. I have a pickup the dwarfs the cordia and and it actually does weigh 4400lbs, I just don't see that. Non the less. I am moving forward and looking to have this thing down the track in the next 8-13 weeks unless something happens. We were playing with a 14b turbo on my friends car the past few years. I am going to throw that on to give it one last shot at going fast. If my Holset HX52 does not sell by the time that stuff is done it will go back on. If it does I have been eyeing a 80-82mm Borg Warner turbo for son time and would love to see one of those hanging off my engine. |

Then your looking at the 4000lb end of the scale fully optioned. Replace all of the glass with lexan and use a hole saw in all the internal panels and you might make under 2100 lbs. |

Not sure those figures are correct Andrew, I find it hard to believe a cordia could weigh 2t. late model Holdens and Fords are sub 2 tonne yet feel like tanks in comparison. I look forward to your progress with this car and can't wait for the end result. Keep us posted. |

The motor should be going in this weekend. I am picking up the new main bearings tomorrow and should have those rolled in tomorrow evening. Just deciding if I want to paint the engine bay now or pull the engine back out and do the car at the same time after I get everything worked out. |

O No, you have the Cordia whit the duo heatlights (USA look). I search the lights all many years but I can't find it. |

1000 HP? wow, cant wait to see this! Are you strengthening the subframe at all?? I reckon the Cordia's twist a bit when you flog em, no chassis.... |

Post subject: | Re: Target 1000hp Cordia |
I am not sure yet. I have some ideas for the bolt on lower core support and for the front cross member that the steering bolts to. I am just going to get it running for now and start work on those things once I get the parts in it. I am also going to be working on a roll cage as well. I finished putting new rod bearings and main bearings in my engine last night. I may have to cut the firewall for my secondary injectors. I need to do some measuring tomorrow before I try to drop the engine in. |

I made the timing belt motor mount today. Put the oil pan on the motor, swapped the dowel pins on the cams so I can move the fuel pump to the intake cam, swapped the T3 manifold on for the 14b for the first part of the year and cut the firewall to fit my second fuel rail. Also got the mounts on. The engine goes in tomorrow. |

Interesting. I've never seen the firewall cut away like that in a cordia before. |

Post subject: | Re: Target 1000hp Cordia |
I have not searched yet but, are there any pictures of what folks have had to do to fit a FWD DSM transmission into a cordia? Specifically for the steering. I am already aware of what I need to do to the frame on the passenger side. Looks like it will be right in the steering. |
