I have an 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe I want part to out what doesn't get sold will be sold to the junk yard. I was gonna keep the engine to put it in an 85 Mazda Rx-7 but changed my mind. There's a guy wanting to buy the intercooler so he's got first dibs but I really don't want to make a trip all the way out to my dad's house just to sell the intercooler cuz it'll cost me more in gas than it'll be worth. I also have some performance parts in the trunk of the car but don't remember what exactly when I go check it out I'll post a list.
I have a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. My dad has had 63 and 64 Impalas as far back as I can remember and now hes talking about selling his 63 to rebuild his 64 so I might be selling or parting out my Turbo Coupe so I can give him a down payment. So if any of you 2.3 ford guys are looking for any parts please let me know. It's a complete car that's in relatively good shape though the interior is kinda rough and whoever drove the car before I got it obviously didn't baby the car. Also the brakes don't work. I was told it needs calipers, rotors and pads but I don't know for sure. Despite all that it does have many usable parts. I also have quite a few performance pars as well as a new brake booster that I never had the chance to put on. I don't have any pics yet but if it turns out I'm for sure going to part it out and it seems I'll be able to get rid of some parts I'll get some pics, if not I'll keep it and drop in a 5.0 and go from there. lol!
When I went to auozone they asked if my car had ABS or not since I don't drive the car I wasn't sure and the ABS rotors were way more expensive. But when I asked a guy on ebay if his were for ABS or non he said it didn't matter. So... does it?
They're asking $125. Which isn't bad if you're buying from some one directly on a forum or ebay but I just thought it was kinda steep for a junk yard considering I don't know how hard the car was driven, if the millage is accurate, or if there's any shaft play. Not to mention It'll need a rebuild. I will say it doesn't look bad considering the car took a hard hit to the front and the hoods been slightly raised for who knows how long. Well I'll probably go ahead and buy it but I'm gonna try my edest to talk him down to $75 or $100. Just wanted to see what you guys had to say.
I'm planning on using a Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo in my 88 Turbo Coupe and was wondering if it would be easier to use the O2 housing for the turbo and customize the exhaust to connect to it and customize the O2 bung or to get a and customize a whole new downpipe.
What's a good boost level to run at the track that won't hurt my engine? Also what's a good boost level over stock to run on the street? What is everybody else boosting at?
Has anybody on here done the Volvo head swap cuz I’ve got some questions. Though I’m not ready to do it myself (based on knowledge and finances) I want to acquire all the info I can so everyone please post any links to any pages with info about the head swap that you have.
