Lee go for it it really needs paint, but if I paint it, it is getting a maaco paint job. So far I am getting a new clutch for it soon, well as soon as I fry this one... lol nah not bad for never having owned a manual trans I just gotta get used to this car.

I bet ya I could get the paint lookin pretty good (at least the parts of it that the clear is still holding on to... for dear life lol). Looks like it could be pretty sweet with a few mods. When we linin up the beaters???

Manual for daily driving.
Auto for drag racing.
That's the way to do it lol.

Yeah I have the best of a lot of worlds.... 4cyl great fuel economy... turbo for fun... not really it is still slow lol. and a manual for fun,
then auto for some good drag racing action, V8 for some good power, and some bolt ons making it wake up a bit and allows me to drag race the hell outta the car... not really well we will see what happens when the rear goes... LOL
I find it hilarious that in my tbird I have a solid 8.8 in rear.. it has a beefy as hell rear.

Mike nahh if I do it might be for a better breathing e6 manifold and a t3 turbo for reliability. all are original parts off either an svo or older tcoupe.
Yeah I knew Ivan would be too, him and I have discussed the aweseomness of these cars.

Ranger Roller Cam in the future? I might go with a esslinger d port aluminum head and a boport stage2 cam in the future. If your interested in a ported head and ranger roller cam in the future hit me up.

Great potential to make power. The motors are strong too.
For daily driving they're great too. Good gas mileage and not painfully slow like other dailys.

I stilll have the camaro. The 2.3 turbo engines have a 4 bolt main for 4 cylinders, Noninterfierence motor and can handle 20psi on the stock bottom end.

Really? Thought they were V-6's for some reason.
There is a white one down the street from me, it's beat to shit.. Didn't know they had that much potential.
LS1Adam84
11-07-2009, 09:24 PM
Nahh the "SUper Coupe" was a 3.8l supercharged V6, the turbo coupe was a 2.3l turbo. Same engine as the svo mustang.

LS1Adam84
11-09-2009, 07:52 PM
LOL good shit man, yeah this is one of the only two fords I would buy, the only other woul be an 03 04 cobra, but a 2.3l turbo tbird is just funny as hell the amount of people that stare at my car when I drive it is funny. It is the look of wtf? does that have a turbo? and wow that looks like horse poop. LOL.

Just slap a vtec sticker on it and really confuse the shit out of people... I mean how cool would it be to leave your car in a parking lot and find some ricer humping your fender? The look would be priceless after you inform him that the car is a ford.
