T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / Un-molested 1988 Turbo Coupe - 72,000 Miles - $7,500
I bought this car to slap a T3 and a 5-speed in, but I just don't have the heart to do it.  The car is bone stock with the exception of the wheels, bluetooth headunit, exhaust tip, boost valve, and K&N air filter.  I purchased it from the original owner's son, and I have the original window sticker and all the service records and receipts all the way back to 1988.  The original owner really took care of this car.  For more pictures or information, feel free to text me at 419-236-2892.  Located near Lima, Ohio.

User Rides / tc² Goes Full Circle Photo Dump
If you were active here about 10 years ago, you might remember my first two cars:





Since then, I've been fortunate enough to own some great vehicles.  A '96 Cobra and a '99 Z28:









A 2000 S4:



A few bikes, including this '07 ZX-10R:



And recently I've been driving around in circles:





And driving to the track in my new tow rig:



With a few other boring daily drivers sprinkled in. 

I'm sure a significant part of it is a result of the Turbo Coupe being my first car, but ever since I sold my 2nd one I've wanted another.  There's just something about these cars that I fell in love with.  I've been poking around craigslist and eBay for 5 years looking for the right one in all corners of the continental United States.  Last Saturday, I found this one, 5 miles from my house:













I bought this 68,000 mile car from the original owner for an absurd (ly low) price.  It's not perfect but it's very, very close. 

I don't have a lot of big plans for this car.  I'm going to put a 5-speed in it, put some wheels on it, and DRIVE it.  A lot.

The void in my soul is full, and I'm proud to be back on FTCF!

Drivetrain Tech / Question about a T-5 I found
I recently bought an A4LD Turbo Coupe and went to the junkyard to get a few odds and ends.  I asked the owner if he had any T-5s laying around, and the only thing he had came out of a 1986 2.3 Ranger.  I think it's a Mitsubishi unit.  The identification plate said E67A-7003-BC.  Would this be compatible with our cars at all?  For what its worth, the car will be a daily driver running 16lbs of boost with the IHI.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / Wtb '87/'88 t-5 tc
Thanks for the replies.  Search tempest was helpful, found a lot of stuff I haven't seen before.  I wish people would have taken better care of these things.

And thanks, croga but I'm looking for the whole car for now :D

Just as the title states.  These are getting absurdly hard to find in decent shape.  If you have one OR know of one please pass it along.  My first two cars were Turbo Coupes and I spent a lot of time here from 2005-2008.  I'm in Ohio but distance is not a factor.

Thanks!

We should have a stickied thread for pictures of the tacky and the utterly tasteless. Maybe even a "caption this photo" contest would be fun. Pics like this make me think of beaterz.com back in the old days. He even had categories, like rice, urban oddities, and a whole bunch of others.


Isn't that the "Phale" thread?? :D
