The Father of all Mitsubishi World Rally Cars: 1977 “Dodge” Mitsubishi Colt/Lancer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Mitsubishi has been in the rally game for a long time… like, 60s/70s long time. And this right here is part of the lineage that ended up taking the “Lancer” name from being synonymous with a grocery getter to being known as a titan in tarmac and gravel stages around the world. Dennis Aquino’s super clean and period-correct example keeps that lineage alive, still being driven to and on the racetrack.

Larry is carrying the hoonigans during quarantine
Love Larry.. but the Quarenstreams have been killllin it.. Also the Team Hert v Team Corey Assetto Corsa Drift Competitions are the shit.
quaranstream has been boring AF
If you are good at what you do, you need no advertising. Word of mouth is all you need. Awesome guy with awesome cars
I asked my first boss why he didn't have signs or a phone number or anything. He said I don't want people calling if they don't know who we are or they won't understand prices we charge.
Filipinos and Puerto Rican’s have similar car taste!
I think Aussies & Hawaiians too ...Bugs, rotaries, old school JDM, etc.
Amen
And srilankans too
Living on islands there’s usually not as much road space for huge cars and trucks. So there’s gonna be dope small cars and mini trucks 🤙🏽
Salvadorano tam bien.
been here before this channel was created, in the hoonigan channel that was a lot of fun. and then this channel was created so Honored to be a Filipino seeing this kind of builds in the US . Number 1 Fan here in the Philippines Larry Looking forward to see you here! More Power!
We can't wait to visit the Philippines!
I wish Vietnam has a proper car culture:(( All we get here is people that would put the Discovery logo on their Kias...
We win as one!
christian lebron syempre
Filipino pride for real. I gotta come visit the pi soon.
This is why I can't find a classic corolla. This guy has most of them
Filipino here, it's nice to see this kind of car culture🇵🇭
Very Nice! My dad had a Mitsubishi Lancer that he built to full Rally spec for an ASEAN Rally in 1983. I have fond memories of riding with my dad for test drives
Back in the Philippines where I used to live in Laoag city, there are few of them running around the street whether stock or riced. Good times 😌
do they still have them there now? hehehe
@@Riffrshittr Not sure of how many are there left since the last time I visited was back in 2016. Few Honda Civics but with fart cans or riced body kits and Mitsubishi Lancer EX '85.
Lots of them still around, some are in worse condition but almost all of them still runs. One day I'll help bring one back to life.
@@Riffrshittrthey're pretty few and far between. The TE Corollas especially. Old Mitsubishis can still be had here though, box types as far as the eye can see lol
This is awesome bro...I had a 77 Mitsubishi Celeste (basically a Lancer Hatchback) back in the early 80's and I can tell you that Dennis's Lancer sounds exactly like my old car...Thanks for bringing back good memories Larry...
love it!! almost bought one as well, but an LB came up for a little better price... and by the way its going, a little extra rust ahaha
As someone wrenching on their DSM daily, I can tell this car is the culmination of many years of love, dedication, and skill. These guys love what they do.
Love these old smog freedom builds! These look amazing and are so unique! Great job as usual Larry! ✌😎
“Back in 1977, someone was driving this”...on their way to see Star Wars!
Wheels on the Starlet are Advan A3A's for anyone wondering
G'day Troy :)
Sad they didn’t even acknowledge the 2nd gen Toyota pickup
I hear you. My preference is for the older stuff, but for the pickup not to get a mention... kinda feel sorry for it
@@wasabicars *i read you
We appreciate you Larry Chen and Hoonigan AutoFocus , i hope you can feature my car one day in the Philippines
Had this exact ‘77 model lancer, blue. Lowered, watanabes, 1600cc carb’ed goodness and a stainless exhaust. Awesome little car, drifted like crazy in the wet. Still miss that car to this day..
that kp61 is super clean btw!
such a good shape!! unfortunately i couldnt find a 2 door :/ but the 4 door is almost as good i guess ahaha. not sure yet if i want to go twin webber, cam and exhaust set up.. or 4g63 swap it
I am proud of my countrymen, grinding there asses to earn a living that to them it is a hobby and passion in cars. 🇵🇭
Joshua Delos Reyes yeah by ripping people off and stealing lol this guy in the vid is a real bitch
Larry with the stockpiles of content 👏thanks guys
I miss my 87 dodge Lancer. Wonderful 300hp 350lb/ft Tq, 2.2T FWD disaster. But it was so much fun to drive.
A guy in my neighborhood as a california shelby rampage that puts out about the same. I'm jealous every single time I see him driving it to work
OMG. This video totally made my day. Thanks very much for shooting this vid. Much respect to those who do this. Yes, what's not to love about speed. But, to have a JDM restored and built properly at the same time --- man. Never realized how awesome it would be, being part of this "subculture", until I picked up a resto myself.
Much love and mo' powah! :D
i see ur a fanboi of eclipses , a man of quality.
My very first car was a 78 Mitsubishi Lancer just like this featured car. I even had the same Pioneer head unit in mine.
proud Filipino here. can't wait to see you here in Philippines larry.
MUCH LOVE FR THE PH! 🇵🇭
Cool, the Colt was my first car in high school. I bought it for 500 dollars to learn how to drive manual transmission, tons of fun memories. Thanks for the video.
More of these, please. Thank you so much, Larry.
ive had a 4 door 1200cc 1978 mitsubishi colt lancer for about two years and they are so fun!!!
alot of people turn there heads when i drive past!! and very cool to see that people like him are still doing up older cars !!!!
I bought one of these with blown engine for $50 and put a japanese stock replacement engine in it and new clutch, tires, radiator, wheel bearings, etc. It got 40-45 mpg on the highway. Unreal gas mileage. Drove from San Fran to Tahoe on 1/2 a tank of gas. The manufacture claimed highway mpg was only 28-30 mpg, which I always thought was weird that it was so underrated.
Proud be Filipino because I my self restored my Dads 1972 Toyota Corona w/ 2R 1200cc engine. Nice video & looking forward to see more old school JDM.
About 15 years ago I had a four door '78 Dodge Colt that I bought from the sketchiest dude for $300. I never registered it, we used it to drive around the back alleys every now and then for a laugh, and eventually I sold it on to cover rent a few months later. It was pretty fun, the PO put long spring shackles on the rear to lift it, he said otherwise it would bottom out on bumps if people sat in the back seat. It had an old school fiberglass racing seat for the driver for some reason, despite being otherwise stock so far as I can remember. I kind of wonder who has it now.
Is 90 hp the new 1000 hp? "I can put my foot to the floor every time"
My dad always said, "its more fun to drive a slow car fast than drive a fast car slow!"
@@Vann_Scale_Modeling Your dad was clearly a wise man!
Fuck yah it is. I put a big ass motor in my bug just to downgrade because breaking speed limits in 2nd honestly isnt ant fun at all
90hp, a carby, and a loud af exhaust is waaay more fun than trying to tame 1000hp ahaha. swap stock carby for some twin webbers and a cam upgrade... be the best sound you ever hear
0:48 Hey guys Larry Chan here, welcome to Hoonigan AutoFocus we are focusing on... Autos
Thanks Larry very cool post love these old lancers takes me back to my teens and they have big rallying history here in Australia
This episode reminded me of my '73 Dodge colt I used to own back then. With a 1.6 lt.Saturn engine and I installed a 5 speed trans from a Lambda car. It runs so good and I missed that car. However, this lancer has a 1.4 lt. Astron engine here in PI. Remembered driving one when I was a teenager. This episode brought fond memories during my teenage years and my old 2 dr. Dodge colt. Thank you Hoonigan for this great episode!
Amazing car!!! I used to own one with a 4g63 turbo from a 1986 Starion Turbo . It was a lot fun!!! Greetings from Puerto Rico 👊🏻
What a humble and happy guy, was a pleasure to watch.
Those car mats reminded me of my dad's mitsubishi's mirage colt. We had those on it as well. Too bad he's not here anymore and so is the car.
Greetings from the Philippines!
My father had one, I remembered we were having this roadtrip and it was raining heavily. there was flood and we just blazed through it with the lancer. Thats where my passion on lancers started and i bought a 1994 lancer (mirage) and slowly upgraded it , maintained it and its still runs like a 90s lancer and i love it
Kumusta ng mga Pinoy sa shop na!! Great video Larry!!
Please Film more video's of the older school JDM coupes. :) Thanks for the the hard work.
as someone currently doing a build series on an on 77 Lb lancer (nope, i don't know what im doing...) pretty much a 4 door of this... this is a very, very satisfying video ahaha
Larry Chen, videos of even the most tame builds are worth watching thanks to your superior camera work. And this owner/builder/shop owner is rad...not only funny but no b.s. when it came to discussing the (albeit low) power figures (e.g., the turbo engine being built of the green 'Yota, it sounded like he wanted to say something in the 'four' range but then reeled it in to the threes. No bull.) As always, thanks for the killer content & cheers.
I love old school JDM cars from the 70's and 80's...I love the Lancer and the Corolla SR-S is sweet ...awesome footage...the garage owner Dennis Aquino is a mad scientist!
Had a 1980 Dodge Colt RS hatchback that I just loved, right up until my sister-in-law blew the engine. Manual, very fun, handled great.
I'm proud of you. These old vehicles will be happy to be restored as clean. I'm real Japanese man lives in Japan. Thanks for JDM lovers all over the world.
In the Philippines we call that model lancer bar type because of tail light and there is also L-type tail light
I don’t know why but it’s a Filipino thing to own a 70s JDM. Especially in HI and CA. All well kept and performed.
Import / export taxes & shipping cost lots of money..
Hot rod what you own, what you can FIND !!!.
gin ngo I think SMOG issue to prior to 74
My dad has had his Colt Galant since 86. One thing I gotta say about the car is it's bulletproof. Its been running forever the odometer even stopped working.
Dennis is AWESOME!! Such a 'Bundle of JOY!!... most 'Pino's' i know in Canada always FRIENDLY!! Old CARS Are Great! I Still Have my Original '99 Honda Civic Hatchback!!...nice Job Larry!!
In 1976 i bought a new lancer ,the same year i was involved with local young farmers club one night we had organised a talk by a local farmer ,Andrew Cowan who won the east african rally for mitshibusi in a Lancer
please do visit the Philippines Larry, will be waiting for you to see the car culture here.
In 1989, my brother and I won the 24 hours of the Pan Americasn game Rally in my country. We used this same car. Camshaft, Rear end, Webers, Hella lights 900. 4.72 rear end with a 4 speed. BTW, we won in our category inexperienced novice
Yo this guys shop is nuts. OG ultra
I like that kp61, the white Tacoma looks nice too 👀
Larry your videos are ruling. Interesting content and pretty photography. I love the old cars.
I had 2 76 Dodge Colts in 85, 86. I drove from Mn to San Diego. It got 35 mpg. You could drive 40 MPH in a snowstorm and pull the ebrake, get it spinning and gas it to pull of a 360 never leaving your lane. I love that car.
Super nice guy, its always awesome to see the old stuff looking so good
I love this car. It was branded a chrysler lancer in Australia. A friend of mine owned one in the 90s that was an ex rally car. It had a 2.6 astron fed by twin side draft weber carbs. It was never driven on the road but he had a farm to drive it on. It was amazing.
I used to have a red Lancer L-type and drove it around Manila in the early 80's. I miss that fun car.
Jewel, complete jewel.. Man that's craig.. Always giving us the best..
This brought a lot of memories of my dad. Buying a 1974 Dodge Colt. Because his MG was getting up there. And it was hard start in the cold. So plus his Ford Galaxy was too much on gas. So he sold them both. And went to Brookfield Dodge. And bought a brand new 1974 Dodge Colt. In 1976. We moved from Massachusetts. To Texas from Texas to Hawaii. And I was watching sports car racing. On the World Wide of Sports. And they had the race from road Atlanta. And they had a Dodge Colt. In the GTU class she ran well. But she lost her engine. Then about a week later they had the East African Safari Rally. And they had the Lancer. And my dad was watching with me. And I said Daddy. There is our car. Sadly the car lost the reverse. And she began to rust. And daddy sold her. To a body man. And he fixed her. I dont know if survived. But in 1977 I became a rally fan. And a sports car fan. Sadly Daddy is gone. And I am a man of a certain age. And a dad and a grandad too. And still a rally car fan. And Sports car fan. Not only of the IMSA Sports Cars Series. But also the Michelin Pilot Series. I hope you do a video. On the Meyer-Shank Acura GTD. And L.A Honda World cars. Thanks for the video
Sven
Thanks for the memories.
My very first car was a 1978 Mitsubishi Lancer 2 door just like this one. It had a 1400cc engine though. Mine even had those 2 big Cibie lights in front. I also had a Pioneer KP500 in one of my cars back in the day.
LOVE IT!!! My First car was a 73 Corolla Coupe.
I used to work for Denz. Lots of cool cars go through his shop.
Actually in love with that carolla wagon, haven't actually seen one until now! 🤯
The old 70s and early 80s jdm cars are the best looking Japanese cars looks like i need to hit up the Philippine homies like this guy when i do a older Japanese build this guy is awesome thank you again larry with bringing the best content as usual
the edit is so good. the owl cuts and all of it really. well done bros
Larry Chen obliviously needs to go to Puerto Rico it's definitely old school JDM heaven out there.
I’ve got a 1976 Mitsubishi/dodge colt that has a 3sge BEAMS motor/trans in it! Great to see these beauties being recognized finally 👌
My gosh, that shop is heaven on earth.
My favorite hooligan series and also my favorite outro song
Anthony Ciccariello what song?
@@alexross0 the outro instrumental.
@@anthonyciccariello8089 Name please?
I love the style and quality of cars you find! Keep up the good work
I am from Arkansas and have a 1978 dodge colt!!! Awesome to see another one!!!😁😁
Dennis there was a 4G32 dual carb down-draft set-up available in the 70’s, I had it on my Galant.
I love love love little late 70s Japanese runners like these
I already love this place ❤️
Jared Richardson once they steal and rip you off they won’t
Love the Pioneer KP5 streo cassette player and that is period correct upgrade !
My buddy used to have a Mitsu Mirage from the 80s a hatch with the eagle talon (then) motor in it . Was a good time. I remember these cars. I love all the old JDM stuff
The first car i raced here in the US on Dirt track was a 78-83 Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Saparo. RWD 2.6l Mitsubishi engine. All worked up, headers etc.. Was the best car i ever raced. Wish i had kept the motor. I have pics if interested.
What a great attitude, and a ton of sick cars. Thanks for sharing!
Damn I love the engine bay. i wish i could build mine as well.. so clean..
Oh, I always loved those little Mitsubishi Colts as a kid, they rusted out so fast where I lived, though. :)
I love the quality you guys put into all your videos it really drives me to soak up every second will you guys spread about your knowledge however the 4g63 is one of the most underrated engines of all time it was in production for over 30 years a lot of these new Millennials if you might say that are learning about this stuff now I think it would be beneficial if you guys would educate you're very good at your videos
Yes sir, Larry definitely come to the Philippines, you'll be surprised of what culture we have here AND you'll see very unique builds here trust me.
I can't wait!
Also i live in the UK its ultra rare to see any Corolla's left here due to it being such a wet environment but the other day i saw a 1989 Toyota Corlloa GTI-16 and it still goes faster than a lot of New Hot Hatches in the UK lol
OG LA A70 Lancer, absoloutely magic bro, makes me miss the LC Lancer I had 20 years ago!
Love these old Mitsubishi's :) made my day
🔥🔥🔥 work of art bro ! Love it bro
Love rally cars
My first car was a 78 dodge colt, in red and white and red interior, I miss that car so much, living in Wisconsin you don't see these anymore they all just got used up. It was a great little car,
unfortunately I got T-bone coming home from work one night, the car was totaled. Too sad.
My first new car was a 77 colt. Drove it like I stole it everywhere. Was very dependable. Took it on our honeymoon to Florida in 81. Got a ticket on the way back. lol. 80 in a 55.
So cool to see old school jdms. Had a te72 as my first car with a 2tg engine and a host of mods. Miss all my Corollas. So much soul compared to my gti...lol.
I have the same blue point box. I have nothing else to share thank you for your time
Wao love this we used to own one in Puerto Rico back in 89
Those Rally fogs look like Cibie and the bottom ones look like the MMC fogs both rare finds.Kudos to the owner he looks super cool
the last dodge colt I ever saw was one a friend of mine had he turned in to a drag car with a full tube frame and a blown 440 big block . it did low 9's and dipped in to the 8 second range but he had to load it with Nos to get it there . I have always wanted one but not many of them survive. I want to stuff a 3 rotor in one and make it a drag car there so small even a factory 3 rotor would get one in to the 9's .
i like this guy ... hes gonna put his heart and soul into an 82 carolla wagon.
i doff my cap to you sir.
The Pioneer radio is awesome too..
I'm loving these cars. Reminds of the car scene growing up in the Philippines. The players on the street back in the day were Toyota and Mitsubishi. Mazda only had the Familia and none of the rotary cars. Datsun only had luxury/family cars. Honda didn't enter the Philippine market until late 90's-2000's. The real rebels would tune their Ford Escort Mk 1 (aka Mexico) , Opel Ascona, or Holden Torana.
Cool, my first car was a 71 Dodge Colt with that same engine. I eventually swapped out the 4spd with a 5 spd from a later model Mitsubishi with the larger engine(2.6L 1979/1980 Dodge Challenger). It bolted right up to the 1.6L with no mods.
A heap of people I know had these in Australia. My best mate had a rally car version. Full cage, webers, big suspension. He used to send it on big speed humps! Then he'd drive it to gigs with our band. Kurtsweil keyboard hanging out the window coz the car was too small to fit it inside. LOL
