hhmmm yep, i definatly think it would do around 17-18 seconds... nothing to jump to joy about... i also think that your car needs a body detail of all the rubber strips and pin stripes... being lowered would help too... then add nice wheels.. and drop the 2.2 litre 4 cylinder turbo motor in... 5spd conversion would be good too or least try to find a stall converter.. or else save the money now n upgrade to a Tx3 turbo 3 door 5spd.. 4wd... Can you say pocket rocket??  |

huh>Gwhat you smoking?? lol
i thought an e-series was a better bet too as i have suggested in the past.. something to do with relativly low wages was the answer.. but from the monet spent reparing/replacing parts on the car that i know have been done.... DAMN!!! coulda had an e-series n it would of been cheaper so far |

| yes with a 19sec car up against the turbo's n rotaries in the same group you would have alot of guts.. least you tried.. least cant go backwards... cos any car you upgrade to in the furure will just about be faster.. |

yes ford freak is true i have put a import engine put into it and it is runing alot more better then my old one...its a 1991 telstar....i am keeping it till a loan is payed down and then geting a car that is about 1yrs of age....i dont think i will be spending any more money on it as it is runing well the only money would be for sevice and normal wear and tear.... |
