This car has a good and a bad side. good side reasonable k's motor, service recipts to date. the bad side the car was only taken care of inside and mechanically. I dont think the exterior had been cleaned in 5 years. Thats why im getting a full respray.

ive got no intentions of getting rid of it. just change a thing or two, mainly vaccume to boost and bolting a hairdrier to the exhaust i plan to do an engine change over from NA to turbo and change the drive line to j spec im going to work the motor before slipping it in

Posted by: OldSkoolTX5 on March 22, 2005	[ Car Profile ]
OK but beware hardly anything is the same between my NA and TURBO!!!

most of the internals in the F2T's are a lot stronger than those in the F2, so converting means changing almost everything in order for the motor to be able to cope with the extra power provided by the hair dryer

eg, the j-spec driveline
