An OMP direct fit subframe for the Mitsubishi Colt Z30. Part number HC847.
It is a Smart underneath
Which surprises people. Mitsubishi developed the Z30 Colt jointly with DaimlerChrysler, and it shares its platform with the Smart Forfour of the same period. That is genuinely useful when you are hunting for parts, because the Forfour is where to look when a Colt part is unfindable.
The Ralliart
The turbocharged Colt CZT and the Ralliart Version-R are the versions worth building. They are light, quick for what they are, and almost nobody notices them, which is much of the appeal.
Space and weight
Small inside, so shell width matters as much as the frame does. Light, so a heavy steel framed shell gives back a real slice of what makes it quick. Tell us your height and build and ask us about the lighter options.
What else you need
Side mounts and the seat. Two bolt patterns, not one. Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats share the 345mm by 271mm spacing and bolt straight on. Recaro use 405mm by 290mm and the frame carries that as well. Cobra sit on their own 291mm by 330mm pattern, so those need multi hole side mounts.
Order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: How Do I Fit Recaro Seats Into My Mitsubishi Evo 9?, and Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Mitsubishi Colt Z30. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on OMP frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
