Lauren Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 So we live in the mountains with tons of winding roads. Wanted something to just enjoy with the top down. Grabbed this for 2200 haha. 175k miles but drives like new. No issues. Some hillbilly needed money so o pounced. Plans are new wheels and just drive it.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Once a year I have to drive thru ‘Bama on the way to Destin. Something about that state just scare the crap out of me. Cruise control set at @74mph and pray. Very brave of you to drive such a car in ‘bama. Hopefully they won’t stone you to death down there.

Lauren Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm not from Bama. Just love here now. Born and raised in Chicago and moved to Ohio from Palm Beach. Of course the day after I buy a convertible it rains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Very fun cars for the money and reasonably inexpensive to keep on the road as long as they don't get into any sort of accident. Those cars are SO quickly total loss write offs it's not even funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Well things escalated quickly. I picked up a single turbo kit locally for $600. Tread stone/turbonetics. Will look forward to installing Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 That's a heck of a jump! Ha ha. What kind of power gains are expected? 360-380 whp is what its claimed. Just enough to make it fun not enough for the wife to kill herself. I'm sire with tuning I can make plenty more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzaME Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Was in Chattanooga area last weekend. Don't waste your money on that bum steep railroad car that takes you up the mountain. Don't waste your money on that bum ruby falls tourist attraction. Might be fun to go white water rafting or check out the smokey mountains.

I'm sire with tuning I can make plenty more. How many miles on the motor? If it's the same as the car, be careful! Anything over like 5-6psi on those things gets a bit sketchy with high mileage. Still, will be a fun ride no matter what, and if you get that kit installed on a "Sunday" by yourself at home I'm sending you a bottle of something tasty! Turbo kits on those cars are NOT fun!

Do you have first hand experience with this platform. If you do I'd love to bounce some questions your way. The turbonetics turbo kit seems quite easy to install. There's plenty of room to work and the car is already torn down getting valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket and ignition refresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
