I'll just leave these here. As you can see, there a few cosmetic issues but nothing too serious. Drives really well but needs a new driver side control arm (balljoint separated)

Primary purpose of this car is to develop much needed parts for. Prepare to see some cool stuff come out of this one.

Has a chip, spring, aftermarket exhaust manifold, and a few other goodies. Really can't complain for the $2500. Might make a gnarly sleeper out of it...maybe I0v swap it. Who knows

Looks nice!

Looking forward to new parts offerings.

Ever consider a flathead ford swap? Ya know for nostalgia purposes.

I have, but I think outrunning 20v cars with my I0v is embarrassing enough. I don't need grown men crying

Oh, here's a question:

How do I disable the 15mph limiter for the dif lock?

edit: cut the blue/wht wire

Nice score. Will be interesting to see what you end up doing with it.

Immediate parts to make are the following:

Trans Mounts
Front Subframe Poly Bushings
Finish making the rest of the intake hoses molds

The front subframe bushings are integrated into the control arm bushings as you'll see. Might be a little more complicated than you'd think to do those ones.
The front bushings of the front subframe should be easy though.


Should...

If its anything like the 1991 200, you can just reverse the vacuum tubes under the seat to make it think its open when it really is locked. Don't ask me how I know this... :P

Pulled off the turbo feed line last night and dropped it off at the hydraulic shop this morning. They are cutting it apart and attaching a -6AN fitting to each end. Theyll be making a new braided hose with -6 fittings on each end as well. Im having them extend it about .25" so it will better clear the exhaust manifold.

Should allow me to at least drive it now without worry

Got the line all installed today. No more oil leak. Car runs awesome. I think the 7000 redline is starting to grow on me

Just hit the turbine exhaust housing with a 3/8" drill bit a bunch of times and it will keep going :D

IDK but I think it's time for an S450 on this bad boy.

Gotta overcome the frictional losses of that 2nd cam somehow
