My wife had an '87 I think Lancer that I think had a 2.2l turbo. Speedy car although all the interior electronic gizmos in the center console just blinked forlornely. I embarrased some guys in a Corvette one time, I smoked them off the line (manual trans vs auto box) and then managed to not get nabbed by officer friendly who then took them to the pokey because of some empty beer bottles rolling around on the floor.
That Lancer was also seriously rusted out. I was surprised every time it passed inspection. I replaced about 4' of metal fuel line with rubber when it rusted off. Had to go nearly all the way back to the tank. It was my wife's first car, she didn't know you needed to look underneith before buying. I got $80 when I junked it. -Curt Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 21:36:27 -0500 From: "Tom Hargrave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] why you can't even in this day buy anydomesticcarunlessthe design and execution has been proven To: "'Mercedes Discussion List'" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I used to play with Chrysler 2.2 liter cars & one of the cars I owned was a 89 Lebaron Coupe GTC. The intercooled Turbo II engine was factory rated at 174 HP. Fortunately, I live in Huntsville AL, where the "brains" were designed and manufactured. I knew the software guys & got a "off road only" performance engine control computer. The new computer plus exhaust modifications pushed the engine to 224 HP. --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
