Awesome running car, no problems after almost a year of ownership. Does have a squeaking belt and the brakes are hard to press. We replaced the electronic master cylinder with a manual master cylinder. I hear you can use a Lincoln hydrobooster to fix the problem.
I don't have any interior shots but its faded red but clean.

You're totally right, people kept calling me when I was typing this up and I left out a lot. Sorry guys.


It's a 1988, 2.3 liter, turbo-charged 4 cylinder, with a 5 speed tranny, trac lock rear end, and a hard grabbing clutch. Like I said, the brakes are hard to press, it has a squeaking belt, and theres a bad place on the roof. The car has 142,XXX miles(I think it's almost 143,000). Runs good and no leaks.
I replaced the stock air box with a cheap APC filter, the cat has been removed, and the EBC has been bypassed and it's only boosting 10 psi now. Stock boost is 15psi. On 10 psi, cone filter, and no cat/mufflers it ran a 16.2. I read you can turn the boost to 17 psi and run the exhaust straight off the downpipe and run mid 15s.
In the pics the downpipe is hanging down, that has been repaired. It flows through stock configuration with dual quiet mufflers.

My number is (478)-213-4081. Feel free to call anytime, email, PM, etc.

Thanks for the number, i'll be calling.
And stock boost is around 8 psi, but yeah you can run 17 all day long and these cars just take the abuse.


lol damn austin you just got rid of one
I loved that car lol. It was my first turbo car, and it was fast, comfortable, and i learned how to drift in it LoL.

I want another!

Actually stock it goes to 15 psi till after I think 4500 rpms then it drops to 10 psi. The 86ish models ran a lot less boost than my model, as well as the SVOs.

I know i had an 88. Stock they sometimes pull up to 12 in second gear, but other than that i've never heard of that kind of boost withough a MBC.

BUt nonetheless, its possible im wrong. Anyway, i'll probably be calling you later this evening.
While im here, you looking for any trades?
