the tires in the rear are my slicks for when I go racing cause this thing puts out mad power yo. think I have 3 or 4 of them.
also since this is my spare car and I had no place else to put the parts I take off my rx-7 I had the stock airbox, s4 tail lights, exhaust manifold and the three cats, upper/lower intake spare, dynamic chamber, and a lower intake from a GSL-SE that I am trying to sell. but all that is in the box next to me
and I already did some diet on this car. no A/C,P/S, all smog removed, you know the basic stuff
thing I dont understand though is after 240k miles it still put out 150 psi on all 4

87 Jeep Cherokee
4cyl.
5spd(only thing it has going for it) with original clutch
not much of it left
178K miles
Had some trouble idiling...this taught me the wonderful method of heel-toe...weather i wanted to or not...if i was slowing down i had to do it or the car would stall out decided not to fix it ($300) so i got some duct tape and 2 pennies and taped them to the throttle to make a physical limit and hold it open just enough to stay running.
Just snowed in here in NJ so went out and practiced my 4wd drifting haha.
hope this pic works..it makes it look alot better than it really is
if not cut and paste into new window

From a mechanical standpoint, my backup car is much worse.
I have a 1983 Honda Prelude. It has a 12 valve side-draft carbeurated engine.
Now the reason that is so bad is I blew the head gasket, and when I replaced it, I had set the intake on the ground upside down. This means the carbeurators got fucked up all to hell, and my car will not idle. Never. Not while hot, cold or in between.
To make it worse, I have developed a coolant leak, so my engine smokes when hot. Since it is so cold here now, I have found it much easier to drive without coolant than drive and not be able to see.
This car isnt going to last much longer, and it just snowed, so I am thinking of taking it out for a little drifting. If I crash, I will just removed the plates and pry off the VIN with a crowbar. Then, no more crappy car to worry about.
It also is not doing too well body wise, it needs paint because it it rusted around the wheel wells, the trunk floor is rusted out (I had the turbo from my RX7 in the trunk and I almost lost it forever!), and it's color went from a deep blue to a faded whitish blue. If you want, I could take some pictures, but the car is so worthless that sitting here online is worth more money that taking pictures of it.
