How does it run?

the new2 ran on carb cleaner, fuel pump is crap, pass window is broken, trans is hurt, banged up, etc.  but its a t-top car :)  Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, I see alot of northstar swaps, I was thinking a continental 4.6 (basicly a Mustang Mach 1 engine in FWD format) swap with twin turbos would be cool, just an idea I'm kicking around.

The current ride with remnants of my failed attempt at a air extractor hood runs pretty well VVT solenoid took a shit, so it could do better. 

'Stang wiped out a distributor gear (towed home friday), gotta install a new one tomorrow and it'll be back to its usual handing out of beatdowns, even though its hurt.

the mid engine is something to get used to, with the silvertop, it pushes the front wheels bad if your hard on the gas in a corner

yea, for now.  I put the WG on to seal up the port.  The turbo is in the works, just havent had the money to get together my water to air intercooler setup.  I have a garrett VGT for it when I get that all.  Damn mustang had been eatin my lunch lately, between gas, spoiler mount broke, dist geat, and other misc. shit, I have been broke.

You do realize that the rear sunvisor that says "toyota" un-cracked is worth $200+ in this shitty economy right?

That mustang is the shizballs.  My brother used to have a 73 Mach1 and I drove it for like a year.  I miss that beast.

It looks like a subaru in the first pic.  If you're happy, what we think doesn't matter.  I'd like to see it go fast.  Does an ls4 fit in them?...

Yeah my Aw11 is subject to alot of electrical issues at the moment. I think its seen its day, as the damn thing has been wrecked lord knows how many times.  The car was red, but the hood was blue, and both doors were purple so who knows.

I need to start working on the body and see what a bitch its going to be.  Then, I'll worry about drivetrain, I know the engine runs.  Think the dude I got it from pinched the fuel pump wire as it dosent work and there is a fuse that keeps blowing.  He said he replaced it.  I mainly got it for the wife to drive so we can keep some miles off the 'stang, not to mention it would save alot of fuel.  From what I have seen my wiring looks ok, not all hacked up too bad.  I sold all my 16V shit, so I don't really have too many engine parts anymore.  Guess, I'll work on it on the weekends and when I can, unless I come across a straight car needing an engine or something.

Its ROUGH, but still for $150, you cant miss.

You can get shit all for that money here in Ontario anymore.... Well, I get free cars from time to time... but no MR2's.
