cool

off topic...what do you guys think about this as a DD

1985 merkur xr4ti , 5 speed ( has a t-5 swap)with centerforce clutch, t-3, e-6 manifold, custom fmic setup using a tc intercooler and a rfl blow off valve , manual boost controller, can be set from 5 psi - to 30 psi, a true 3 inch turbo-back exhaust, with a high flow muffler going into dual tail pipes... car has 105 k miles on it...

has new boost gauge, white face gauges, brakes, exhaust , and cant forget the air/fuel ratio dancing light gauge.....

rust free car ! could use a paint job to freshen it up but no peeling.....

ive been thinking long and hard about it to buy as a DD and my dad said he would help me out and loan me 1,500 to buy it as long as i pay him back ( which i would ) im guessing its around 300 whp in a 2200 lb car so im sure its a quick lil focker but im not sure if i want to spend 2k on a daily drive? but if i buy it paint for the stang would be put of for another year. i dont know what i wanna do :sad:

im torn.

you don't need 2 cars, put money into your current car. **** I can't even justify a bike at this point although this FZR1000 has really been catching my eye lately. Think 145 hp on 500lbs

because thats need aint it. my dads the one that suggested me getting a 2nd car as a beater DD..i know if i got that car though with it being a 5 speed and turboed i would find myself beating the living crap out of it on the weekends and after someone pissed me off just cuz i could.

WTF? your dad won't let you put a five speed in your stang but he'll let you buy a merk with a t5 that could probably comfortably run 14 lb's of boost? where the hell is the logic in that.

it was the fact that it would be my only car...he said if i buy a beater i can go 5 speed in the stang

idk my dad is just...my dad lol...

oh and he dont know how much boost it truely has..i just told him 9lbs ( it can be set. ) i told him it was stock besides an exhasut and gauges.

the car has an esslinger cam, polished head,ported intakes, gutted e-6 manifold, t3/4 hybrid, custom front mount intercooler,t-5 swap,full 3 inch exhaust,turbo xs manual boost controller,rapido 42 injectors and a chipped la3

WTF - you are sooo all over the place and your father seems to be the source of half of it! First, you aren't allowed to have a 5.0. Then you can't have a stick, now you are talking about getting 300 whp in a 2200 lb car as a DD?
You confuse me
