    I surrender

    Well...umm...I found a local guy thats a turbo nut that works at another Firestone and he said "I heard you were selling your car. Dont do that!" I dont know how knew I was thinking selling my car. I only told about 2 people that I was even thinking about it. Anyway he lives about 3 minutes...

    I surrender

    U sure it was me? Nothing up with my fenders...the hood doesnt like to lay flat anymore... The tC is going to have a factory option for a supercharger on their 2.4L. Thats the only size motor they come with. in the meantime, you can get TRD (kinda like Motorcraft except its for Toyota &...

    I surrender

    I wont start parting the car out til the 5th of July at least. I dunno if you can wait that long. I read your thread. Sorry to hear that. I think my hood is already claimed though. Its a fiberglass hood too. Most of the other stuff should be available.

    I surrender

    I dunno how much I would sell the entire car for. I dont think I'll get even close what its worth in parts unless it goes to a turbo guy. I think I can part it out and get about 800-1000 for it. If I were to sell it as is, running and all, I would probably get about 500 for it, if that.

    I surrender

    As a whole I dont think its worth much but there are lots of parts that are new and some i forgot like the rear TC sway bar, the LA3 computer, big VAM, ported and flow tested head, lightened flywheel, racing turbo clutch, new internals in the head like the cam bearings lifters and camshaft, the...

    I surrender

    The car has been nothing but a headache ever since I blew that first brand new turbo in February, then blew a second one a week later b/c of problems that I think i fixed. I just dont have time for a project and the car can do better in someone else's hands

    I surrender

    Well I've decided to give up on my car. Its cuz I have no time, nowhere to work on the car on a regular basis, little money, and no patience for the car now. My mom is moving to London this month so she is giving me her 99 cougar. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with the car...

    I'm sick of my car

    Man, I am tired of the Stang. I mean it used to be fun to drive, now it seems like everything is going wrong. I never was able to get the turbo engine running right. My hood latch on the fiberglass hood broke, then i temporarily fixed it and before I had a chance, it broke again, but this...

    To check if you have fuel, just spray some carb cleaner into your throttle body while someone is trying to start your car.

    Belt Flew off With No Warning!!

    If you alternator isnt lined up then you'll get a frayed belt. You need to get that alternator lined up with the other pulleys to completely cure your problem.

    How many spark plugs in 2.3L 4cyl`

    I remember on my first 2.3 (a 91) i brought my car in for a tune up and the guys at the shop never knew about 8 plugs on my car. They said I was wrong til they looked, then they promptly charged me for a V8 tune up. They swore up and down that the motor in the car wasn't original. Now that...

    CANT PASS INSPECTION-BRAKES

    What happens if you adjust that right rear brake out so far that its almost impossible to fit the drum on it? That will put pressure on there. Also you could just bring it to another inspection place and have them inspect it. Some inspectors are more lenient than others. Now to actually...

    Why does my car die when i turn on the AC?

    You probably have a weak battery from the amp/subs and when you turn the A/C on, you create an extra load on the engine. Try getting a stronger alternator and make sure your battery is fully charged. Our little stock alternators are crap.

    Fuel pump questions

    Here's a few easy questions for you guys: What hp mark should I upgrade from the stock n/a fuel pump to a higher flow one with a turbo engine to a 150lph or 255lph? Is there any car I can use the fuel pump off of or do I have to just buy an after market pump? Thanks guys.

    Where can I get a rebuild kit for a 2.3L Turbo?

    You can go to www.northernautoparts.com for complete rebuild kits. Thats what I did and also Stinger. I think they are the best site for us personally.
