Re: question for the smart guys
wasn't 88 last year. I worked across the shop from them on Isuzu's.
I thought they were from 84, the 84C15 recall cars, to 88GT's where they finally got them right but public gave up on them. This is all from memory tho.... |

Re: question for the smart guys
The car I was playing with was an 85 2.5/120/113 car. It is a natural V/SA that can make W. The car has a "stupid computer" in it that you can make do what you want it to. It has a pretty big throttlebody and the heads and intake look good. Biggest problem would be the transaxle. The best final drive that you can get from the factory is a 3.73. I've heard that there's someone in upstate N.Y. that might make yoy a 4.10. Yac can make you a converter and even do the trans for you. 4 cyl car has got enough room that you can make your own headers. Find the shortest slicks that you can (or even drag radials?) and it would probably do much better than index. It would hook in a carwash.
I think in hindsight that it could be a fun little car and would probably run well. I probably didn't give it much of a chance as I really didn't like the "disconected" feel that I got while driving it.
