So I have been just building and tinkering with my engine, 6 bolt turbo out of the gsx I sold! I cleaned it up put some stuffs on it...gates kevlar timing belt and such nothing huge right?

Well I came in contact with a dsmer selling a special car....for 900 bucks! It runs has some issues but nothing like my gsx had!

well here are some pictures of the engine after being cleaned up and some pics of the car!

hint...it's a 92 6/4 combo plymouth laser!

finally found a keeper 215986_214887988536686_100000464581236_860339_1503474_n

finally found a keeper 215396_214715641887254_100000464581236_858940_7728069_n

finally found a keeper 218182_214715608553924_100000464581236_858939_6880152_n

finally found a keeper 221717_214715528553932_100000464581236_858938_1172717_n

finally found a keeper 216995_214715448553940_100000464581236_858937_7746318_n

Now according to this guy....he states these are the issues he is having

- a weird knock in the engine (unconfirmed location probably either lifter tick or valve tap)
- for some reason he cut the harness off...(it's ok i still have my 91+ turbo harness on hand) UNHACKED
- window on passenger side is off track so the regulator needs to be replaced
- paint is horrible
- exhaust will need attention

their is probably more he hasnt told me yet....but not really worried about it! because for 900 bucks and a rare dsm...it is well worth it

That's a damn good deal, get two more matching stock rims and you will have a really nice car! Which reminds me I seen a guy with a minivan he took those wheels off a laser and put them on the van!

Nice manifold! As for the shaking, is it while you are braking, taking off, cruising or all the time? That's kind of what mine is doing, I'm starting with finishing the tune up, if not that clean the MAF, that don't work fuel filter. IF that don't work I'll sell it for what I can get out of it and buy a DSM!

If it gets you where you need to go who cares right? It is a ford after all.

So is that motor ready to go when you get the car?

Like my thread on 1eights? lol! It was just strange that you didn't post for some time. Hell, I might be gone for awhile in a month or so, might even have to sell the Lincoln and if I do I will be looking for a Eclipse spyder. But first a 4x4.
