NightRider Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I was gonna get her the info, but when I entered 2008 Rustang, it didn't give me the 3l option that she had listed in her post. I have access to pretty much any automotive specs you could ever need, through work.All i meant was, i didn't believe the engine was used in the mustang. Primarily known to be in the rangers...i guess? +1 I didn't even realize I was bleeding once. lulzlol. Anybody else got any stories? Always fun to here.

jporter12 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 My step bro had one of those. Not a bad car really. He had an Apexi boost controller on it, and a few other minor mods. That engine was mazda through and through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 My Probe had the 2.2L turbo motor. Pimp... I loved the way the probe handled. The darn thing was a nightmare for repairs though. I blew a head gasket at 70K had to have the engine rebuilt because of the damage, then by the time it got to 120K it had a SERIOUS clunking in the engine. I took it to 4 different car repair places, they all quoted me over $1K. One time it was having troubles going (as in i had to jump on the gas to get it to go in the lower gears (auto trans)), ford told me $800 for some sort of mass air flow sensor... mmmk, i changed the spark plugs, air filter, oil, then spark plug wires - just for the sake of keeping up on maintenance - ended up the problem was one of the spark plug wires was messed up. + a million other things wrong made for some interesting drivig experiences... I had the GT too, when it was working, it was a really nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked it up for $600 and it was a great car all around. Yeah, it did blow a head gasket, but no biggie, I replaced it and it still runs fine to this day even after I sold it.

Wheezle Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I don't know about the Ls1 conversion? I've worked on tons of 7's and I got to say I love them rotory motors! I've seen a few over 500 hp with two rotors. They are just such a simplistic design. I want an FD so bad! your buddy has a nice motego blue FD.
