1989 Dodge Shadow from North America - Comments

"This is a fast Machine for the Price$$$"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Engine bearings went.

Bad Head Gasket.

Bad Piston Rings.

Lots of oil out of positive crankcase vent.

Pulled over for exhibition driving.

I have replaced the first engine with a 1988 dodge engine with 160000.

Replaced engine again with a completley rebuilt one I did myself for under $400.00.

General comments?

My new engine is still chugging along.

A lot of the parts are from the new 1990

redesigned engine.

I can do 100mph in 4th gear. (no turbo)

I have topped it at around 130mph.

Got in a couple of races against a Ford LTD and a souped up Honda Civic.

Won both races leaving off at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone. (oops)

Seriously doubt you can get 130 mph out of a 2.2L, I have a 2.5L with a bored over and completely rebuilt engine and 130km is a chore.
