I traded in another car that was very very limited in production because I couldn't afford the upkeep that I was dealing with. Here's a picture of it. If I remember correctly, it was #1676 of roughly 9600. I'm glad I got rid of it though. A guy called me yesterday because he tracked my phone number down though the VIN. He asked me all types of questions about it, including if I put a new motor in it. Which I didn't. Apparently when I got rid of it, the boost creep got very bad and destroyed it. So I may be quite a few thousand in debt with my 'Tour, but atleast I like it. Oh, and can anyone guess what that red car is? It's from 1989, and it has a 2.2L with a T2 (Turbo Dodge motor). (Don't go by the emblem on the grill. It was some stupid clip on thing I put there.) Last edited by Pen_Two; 07/16/06 01:50 PM. I call my E0 Claire. 24 hour what? I'm looking to buy a like-new condition SVT grill, and a shift knob that works with the reverse lever PM me with the details.

I think it was 2 weeks after I got it, the headgasket blew. Then to pass inspection, I had to put new struts into it. Half the ignition needed replacing, and the AIS motor. I called it quits, and drove to the used car lot that would finance anyone (I had no established credit). I saw a Contour and thought it was in great condition. I didn't even realize it was an SVT until I started signing paperwork. I call my E0 Claire. 24 hour what?

They are fast as hell but extremely hard to find parts for and thats why I sold it. The T2 motor is much easier to find stuff for.

A guy I work with has a Turbo Caravan. I think he said something about a T4 out of a Buick is going on it. As for the TC, that picture shows the good side. Lol. The other side had a huge gash from the middle of the door, to the rear wheel well. The T2-small motor is easy to find parts for if you have a DOHC. I think the TC I had only had the SOHC. I don't remember, I tried to forget those 5 months. I call my E0 Claire. 24 hour what?

Did it have the Get-rag 5 speed? I know mine had the automatic, and they even admitted that the automatics were exceeding the weight limits for the load it could handle (By about 400 pounds iirc). If I jumped on it, it was slow as all hell and seemed to not want to go any faster, but if you gradually accelerated, the boost would pick up rather quick and carry it down the highway like it weighed as much as a Civic.

Its very rare and only available on 91-92 spirit r/ts, 92-93 Daytona IROC R/ts and some TCs. The SOHCs are easy to find parts for. The DOHCs are very quick but break down too much and cost too much to fix lol. I have some pics somewhere I maybe able to dig up.
