Nothing has gone wrong with the car except the equalizer blew.
Since I bought the car used I have replaced the engine, brakes, and clutch.
When I first got it there was a knocking in the engine, but when disassembling it all it was, was a loose bolt in the oil pan.
Those are the only problems I've run into.
I'm 16 and this is my first car. I bought it for $400 from a neighbor who bought it at an auction for $600 and it was in perfect shape.
When things were replaced the car ran great. It handles great and at high speeds it seems it could go faster. When raced at a track it had a better time than a 5.0 Mustang. I'll keep this car until it dies. Modification will be soon in the future.
Wow turbos are such a fun cars. It is very much possible to get these turbo 4 bangers doing 12.20s with just bolt on parts. Check out tinyavenger.com, lots of hi po hop up parts for the 4 bangers.
This helps me a lot, I'm 15 almost 16 and I have $1400 to buy a car, I've found a 1988 t-bird turbo with 151,000 miles for only $1000, I think I might just buy it.
I am 17 going on 18 and I have been into cars ever since I was little my 1988 t-bird turbo cope is good on gas if I keep my foot out of it. I changed the engine with my grandpa we put a 460 c.i. with a aftermarket paxton turbo I love it, it will run in the high 7's. I drive it every day.
